i really dont like taking iron tablets. they always make me constipated, its so horrible. pregnancy gives it to me as it is but then the iron tabs make it worse. oh the joys of it all! last night i ate spaghetti bof for tea, i used heart smart mince and all the good stuff and guess wot, today i hv the poo's! joy of joys! goes from one extreme to the other. it really isnt pleasant at all.
saw my doc on wed, everything is going well with bub, the doc was happy and we got to see a really good facial profile of him, it was so cute! sheppy wasnt able to make the app.so my lil sis came with me, she also had her son there and shammah was there, the boys wernt really interested in looking at the baby, more interested in what they could touch in the room! its getting harder to sit up off that bed when u hv a scan, the doc even helped me up. he was so funny, he is normally rather reserved and sometimes in such a rush he wants u in and out in 2mins but this week he was being so silly and cracking jokes, mel and i r sure he was on happy pills! :)
i hvnt weighed myself for a couple of weeks, my belly is getting so big now im sure i must hv put more weight on. go to the midwives on the 19th so will weigh myself then.
wanna catch up on reading all your blogs now.
lets hope my tummy settles down! Jx

9and half weeks to go!
hiya, it seems like an eternity that i have written on here. sorry for being so slack! im now 30 and half weeks preggers, my tummy is huge and its getting more uncomfortable to sleep at night. the baby kicks heaps, its so awesome. its really cool if u lay in the bath and watch the belly being kicked and wobble...shammah thinks its so funny too! all is going well, i hv been getting a bit of sickness here and there but nothing too bad. indigestion is a bit of a killer, hv to be really careful what i eat otherwise it nearly kills me. i never had this with my first one. i hv had a little bit of low blood pressure and bit low in iron but both not much to worry about. i wasnt happy about taking iron tablets as they can make you constipated and give u black stools-lovely-but so far it hasnt been too bad, i take the tablets every second day so im guessing that helps.
we have been buying more baby stuff now, even getting boxes of nappies when they are on sale coz we all know how expensive they are and how many we go thru! a friend from church is giving us a cot which is a real blessing and my sister in law is giving us her baby change table and cradle to use which is also a huge blessing. i hv put lots of things on laybye, its so awesome being home in australia for the birth of our second child, not only coz of being near family but coz in the uk they dont do laybys! u either buy them on the day or use store cards...and we all know how dangerous that can be! u pay high interest and also get yourself into serious debt-not good! so being able to goto kmart or target and put laybys on is wonderful! its the small things in life eh! :)
weight wise i have put on 6kg, which im very happy about. i lost weight at the start of the pregnancy as i was vomiting constantly but after about 5months that calmed right down, praise God! so now im putting on a bit of weight but its not too much which is good. i hvnt been too good with my eating, sometimes i eat rubbish food like chocolate or a packet of chips but i dont go for food like kfc or mc donalds! but i hvnt been a saint either! im looking forward to getting back on track with ww after the baby is born and just cant wait to loose weight! i wonder how much i can loose by jan? when the hot weather really starts to kick in in tassie...well...with tassie u never know what the weathers gunna do but here's hopeing eh! i have bumped into a couple of people from ww in town and they r all so friendly and wanna know how im going. im always keen to tell them im looking forward to going back to ww coz its true, i really am. i hv a real positive outlook and there is no turning back to the old me. i know i will be breast feeding and it might not come off like b4 but i can still loose weight even if it does take a bit longer. it will be so cool to see the other ladies from my meeting and see there progress, i bet they r looking like a million dollars!
anyway peoples i had better go get some house work done. i will try not to leave it so long for my next post!

its so cold!
its so cold here in tasmania. sometimes i wonder why we dont move to queensland or somewhere much warmer than here. we have had the heating on all day! this weather has made me want to cook soup, so i guess thats one good thing. i have a few recipes from friends which im gunna try, im totally craving pumpkin soup, i bought some in the supermarket but its just not the same as when you eat home made.
im 18weeks preggers now, i got for my detailed scan on monday and cant wait! im feeling alot better and havnt been sick much at all this week which is brilliant. my tummy is getting bigger now, i was singing on stage in church on sunday and when i got down my hubby was like, wow, you can really see your pregnant now, the bump is showing...im fat already so its nice when a baby bump instead of fat roll is showing! haha
anyway peoples i gotta go get tea started, my hubby wants an apricot crumble so id better be nice and make it for him, its his fav. i might just have a small portion too...but wont over do it!

im pregnant!
ok so i havnt written on here in like 50years!
i have some wonderful news, im pregnant! 17weeks to be exact. we have been trying for another baby for some time now (we hv 2and half year old) and finally it happened! we were both over the moon, but then i got a bit sad when the realisation set in that i could no longer continue with weight watchers, they wont allow you to do it until 6weeks after the baby is born, which is fair enough. so i had to come to terms with it all. i have lost 27.7kg so far with weight watchers and now i have lost a further 2.3kg so thats total loss of 30kg! reason for loosing a bit more is because im constantly nauseaus and vomiting most days...morning noon and night! not pretty! i have felt pretty ill during this pregnancy, which i did with my last as well, lost 10kg with shammah, coz being sick all the time. i just hope the vomiting dosnt last as long as it did with shammah, which was for the whole pregnancy!
im starting to perk up a bit tho, im able to cook meals more often now, my poor hubby was doing most of the cooking as the sight of raw meat would nearly kill me and to even go in a supermarket i would gag and hv to run out and spew...not pretty!
anyway folks just wanted to let you all know im alive and well and very happy but have had to put the weight loss on hold for a few months. baby is due 28th sept so i should be back on track somewhere in november! yay! keep up the good work peoples.
God bless, jacqueline

posted pic
i just posted a pic of me, just my face at the mo tho till i do body shot but for some reason half of me is cut off, typical eh. darn it. im not sure how to fix this problem, maybe i hv to make the pic smaller, who knows!!!!
so long
hello peoples.
man, its been so long since i wrote on here. i have been away on holiday and with christmas and everything i just never got a chance to write.
life has been good. i managed to do well on hols, i stayed with my best friend and she is so supportive, as was her family. i did go out for dinner a few times and ate other peoples cooking but i managed to make it to monday night meetings in melbourne and had a great loss the first week but then the second week i gained 200g! i was devestated, it was my first ever gain and i wasnt expecting it at all, which was silly really coz of eating out but i had thought i went for the healthy options and didnt over indulge or anything plus had been walking loads with bev...so when i saw i had gained i nearly cried! sad but true. i couldnt even stay for the meeting coz i was so devestated. on reflecting back that was silly of me not to stay coz i needed the moral support and i could hv gotten heaps from the meeting instead of running away. i have learnt alot from the whole experience and am not upset at myself for gaining or anything, it was all just a shock and i had to get my head round it.
since then i have had good losses, the best thing ever is that i now weight under 100kgs! woohoo! wow did i celebrate last week when the scale said 99.4kg! i was so excited, as was the lady who weighed me, we both whooped for joy! haha this week i lost 1.9kg and now weight 97.5kg! totally awesome. im so proude of myself, sound like i hv a big head but man, i deserve it! haha my hubby is so supportive and so are my friends and family...well...most of them!!!!
so i have lost a total of 26.8kg now...amazinglly cool...dont u think. i sooooo cant wait to get into the eighties now! haha
its pretty late and i need my beauty sleep. promise to put some recent pics up here asap...
reading joannes blog, fellow weight watcher and totally awesome blogger, i was inspired to take some pics of myself, she has lost so much weight and posts great pics...anyone reading this should seriously take a look at her blog too, very inspirational.
