Hi everyone,
Well it's been some time since I was serious about blogging or even commenting on all your blogs and you may also be wondering why on earth I'm not updating my weight loss (maybe coz I'm not loosing anymore weight (actually gained 1kg) - but I do have a really really good excuse.
I've been really really sick (constant nauseous feeling) and just feeling plain old tired and not up to doing anything but relaxing in bed or sleeping when I get home from work!
So what do these symptom's mean????? Yep you guessed it I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!! I'm due in March 2009!!
It's still a shock for me and sometimes I have to pinch myself to realise that I really am pregnant. Ryan is over the moon and has been a very attentive loving hubby - cooking, cleaning etc etc coz I've been feeling soooooo sick and tired. For two long years we waited but God in his wisdom withheld children from us. I don't know if you remember but when I first started this blog I said that there were two reasons for our lifestyle change (loosing weight) - well one of them was because of a certain condition I had (it was either an operation or loose weight) - I choose loosing the weight. I praise God everyday that he gave me the determination and dedication to loose the weight and thus resulting in my pregnancy!
I remember at the first meeting we had at Cohen's - the lady told us that a side affect of loosing weight with this programme was that there was a big possibility we could become pregnant. The Cohen's programme was originally designed by Dr Cohen for women trying to conceive - it later developed into so much more when they realised the benefits for all overweight people.
Well when I found out I was pregnant I was told to stop the diet immediately. Funnily enough the food that I used to eat on Cohen's just does not appeal to me at all (the thought of it makes me sick sick sick). I was sent the management guidelines (I couldn't get the re-feeding programme coz I still had another 10kg's to go) and now I have to try to stick to them as best I can. So far I have only put on 1kg (maybe coz I over indulged a bit on my holidays - as you do) but am maintaining it. The big difference for me is that I'm now eating carbohydrates again (especially toast with vegemite first thing in the morning to help settle my stomach a bit). I try to limit carbohydrates for breakfast and lunch but sometimes I have to have them at night as well (as my tummy won't accept anything else)! I'm hoping that my tummy settles in time and I can go back to some normal healthy eating habits again.
I know I promised to post some photos of my holidays - but I hope to do it some time this week when I'm not feeling sooooooo tired and sick.
Take care everyone xx

You could have blown me away with a feather girl. CONGRATULATIONS to you and Ryan. Wow, how exciting for you both and what a blessing after waiting for a time. The Lord is indeed good. No wonder you've been quiet. Sorry to hear your feeling yucky but hopefully it will pass by really quickly. I can see the big smile on your face already :)
WOW, that is fantastic news. How exciting for you both. And such a wonderful blessing; God has heard your prayers. Hope you don't feel sick for too long and that the tiredness passes soon. Wishing you all the very best. Take care of yourself xo
PS: Thanks so much for the gift - got it in the post today - gave me quite a fright when I got it out the letter box as it made a noise. Was quite funny. It's a very cute toy!!
Hi Erica, Congratulations to you and Ryan... how very exciting! God is indeed great! All the best for the coming months and hope the sick feeling goes away soon.
CONGRATULATIONS with your special news! Very exciting, but hope the sickness calms down for you. All the best in the coming months.
Hey what great news for your both, its Congratulations that's for sure. We must never under estimate the will of God, in His time after waiting for 2 years, God thought the time was right to allow you to become pregnant. "Praise the Lord for He is good" Hope all goes well for you and your sicky feeling soon to pass by! I am no expert at that feeling, never experienced it, eat what you can and just try stay healthy, a good excuse to gain a kilo hey! Take care.
Looking forward to catching up and seeing pics of Ningaloo soon!
