Week:... Uhh... hmmmm....?

Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm falling behind a little in this blog! I totally blame BlogSpot for the most part... there was two weeks where I couldn't log into my account for some reason, and that got me out of the groove.

So... that's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it!

An update on how my weightloss is going... it isn't going very well at all! But, I do have a good excuse for that one too....





That's right... I'm expecting again! Right now I'm at 14 weeks, due December 21st... poor child. I always swore I would never have a Christmas baby.  That was back when I thought I had control over such things. :) The nice thing is, my husband will be on break from school!!

So far, I've been feeling great, pregnancy wise! No throwing up, few food aversions... and feeling relatively calm about everything! :) 

Right now, I suspect this one is a boy! Which would be awesome if it was, but we're totally set if it's a girl. :) Either way, we'll be happy!  We just want it healthy!

So, with this pregnancy, I've noticed that my nasal polyps have gotten really bad again. After lots of research help from my parents and my own, I have put myself on a no wheat, sugar, or dairy diet. Yeah, hard! Especially when I do not like meat at the moment! (Or solid foods for that matter...)

In addition to what I'm NOT eating, I take:
Multi Vitamin (duh)
Vit C & D
Cod liver oil
Castor oil
Stinging nettle tea
Tumeric power
Tea tree oil
basil leaves before each meal
digestive pill
probiotics
V8 juice

Most of these things I do/take 3-4 times a day.

Basically... no more happiness. No chocolate, ice cream, junk food of any kind... and no bread. :( so sad! (and expensive...) and it takes a lot of time!

Hopefully I'll be able to self-cure these dang polyps, since I can't have surgery while pregnant. I definitely do not want to be feeling like this when New Baby comes. :(

Anyhoo, we're all super excited for this news! The picture is how we told our families-- I got the picture printed and put them on canvases and gave them to our mothers on Mother's Day. :) It was fun!
