I've just suddenly realised that I haven't actually posted on here in the last...7 months maybe?!?
Wow!
Well yes, I am 30 + 3 weeks pregnant with our 2nd little boy. Very very happy, and it was all such a big shock, as we literally fell pregnant straight after the last miscarriage. Feel very blessed to have gotten this far, and down to the last 9 weeks now.
I have to confess diet wise, things haven't been great, I am eating fruit/veg every day, but my cravings are sweet things! Not good!
I am 2 stone up from where I started, but I'm hoping to shift after this baby/feeding.
Hope everyone is ok, I'll try and post a bit more now I'm on Maternity leave too xx

Thanks everyone 
I don't get on with pregnancy at all, so as much as the sleepless nights are only going to get worse when little man is here, I can't wait to start slowly getting my body back, and walking more than 5 mins without being in a lot of pain.
Jess, how lovely to see you have your date for your wedding booked Did you pick your dress in the end? It will be an amazing day, but I'll say it early, make sure you take some day in the day, away from everyone else just for 5 minutes, to say, "wow it really is today" and try to take it all in. It goes so so very fast!
ps. We did get the house, we've been moved in nearly 3 months now (wow that's gone quick too lol)

Lol what are you lot like!
Have been using Birthing ball, raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil, and walking (where I can...which isn't so far at the min) Curry I've been told is v similar to the Castor Oil (just a bit less dangerous), so I'm avoiding that one, as don't fancy the potential outcome of that.
A bit of the other?? Jess...I'll remind you of that when your 40+ wks gone lol.
4 days over today, but full of cold anyway, so could happily wait another couple of days (but before the weekend would be nice).
I don't think I've updated on here yet, but my mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer (Ductal - level 3) on Alex's Birthday. She started her first round of chemotherapy last Tuesday. So far she's not doing too badly, but as it's always been planned she + hubby will be at this babies birth (same as with Alex) I really need to shift it asap, as she's about to hit her low immune days.
It's been an up/down time, and this year is going to be v tough - 8 rounds of Chemo, mastectomy and then radiotherapy, but hoping Alex and new baby will give her lots to look forward to and be as positive as possible for.
Sorry to end that post with a negative, I just know in the grand scheme of things, getting back to target weight etc, mum's illness and treatment will be a big factor in my mood changes, and how I'm feeling too...obviously post imminent arrival xx
