JennaMeri's Sleeve Journey

Eeeeek I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he or she will be born on my birthday 13th Jan.....come on baby!! You can do it x

Well, I definitely have to hope s/he's born the first part of Jan... one of my sister's is the 28th and my mother's husband (who I HATE with a passion, only thing in this world that I hate and I mean H.A.T.E.) is the 31st. So I'd rather not have her/him share their birthdays. But if you don't mind sharing yours, that's doable. ;) lol Don't have the official due date, but according to the calcs it would be roughly the 11th. :)

AANNDD it's Sunday again, which means weigh-day. Came in at 193.4 which means I've lost 3lbs this week! :) Bubble is eating like crazy, I'm hungry ALL THE TIME, yet nauseous as well so eating is really difficult. I'm hoping to lose enough before starting to Bubble gain that I won't end up back in the 200s again. Though mostly, I just hope Bubble stays healthy. :) Hope everyone is well!
 
Amazing loss again hun well done...yeah I know what you mean about birthday all around the same time, my family literally are all between oct-feb...winter family = very expensive around crimbo.

I wouldn't worry about the 200lb mark hun, you are having a baby!!!! This IS the goal. Enjoy every second, every sickness, every backache...this is what you've been waiting for! X
 
Please don't get me wrong when I say this... but I think I'm a 'slow to warm up' type. lol I'm excited (bit more apprehensive than excited at the minute, but still excited), but s/he's not really anything more than a pea at the minute and there's always the chance s/he could leave us, so I'm doing my best to keep it healthy, but not get too attached at this point. ;) There are also a LOT of things to get our heads around. Hubby still wasn't certain he wanted kids, and thought he had almost a whole year to work it out in his head before we were in this position, so he's not in the best of mindsets. My mom and my sister miscarried their first times (not saying that would happen to me, just that it IS possible), so my mindset is more along the lines of 'K, have to keep them healthy... can be excited later, healthy is the word.' And there are lots of other little things that we wanted to be completely selfish with in the next year before we buckled down and started the baby process, so we're both still trying to 'quickly' move out of the selfish mode and on some things it's easier said than done. Bubble's not a 'mistake'... how could s/he be when we consciously had unprotected sex, knowing full well that a baby could be the result, but they weren't a 'planned' effort. Some people KNOW when babies are their future, we didn't so we've never gotten our hopes up or excited about the idea. Do I want a baby, of course and now that I'm pregnant I still want one, it's just going to take me (and hubby) time to get most of the selfishness out. Hubby more so than myself 'cause he still wasn't certain. Now he doesn't have a choice and that sucks for some people. Doesn't make him a bad person, nor does it mean he'll be a bad dad... just means he has less time than he thought to prepare himself mentally and emotionally. And he's a worrier, about EVERYTHING. We'll be fine, just forgive us, please, if the excitedness doesn't come across for a minute or two. This is so mental it's crazy. Hope everyone is well! :)
 
Totally get that hun!!! All I meant was don't worry about your weight loss for now, like you said 'health is the word'. You will get excited when the time is right, nobody is rushing you!! X
 
I didn't mean that specifically at you lovey! :) You're the best! Just in general, and to sort of document how I'm/we're feeling right now. I wouldn't take Bubble away for anything, just need to alter the mind some. ;)
 
congrats on another loss doing good and as you said yes you need to get your head in the right place now for a different reason but you are strong and i am sure you will manage to do that
 
JennaMeri, i am sure you and your husband will be fine :) i totally understand what you are saying about getting the 'selfishnes'out. It was only two of you so you had a right to think only about yourselves and plan the near future just for you two. And now you both know that everything will change. I am sure it will be even better, but you just need to get used to the idea. :) like you said it is very very different for people who are actively trying and have their head and mind set on the 'baby making' mood :) for you it was a bit unexpected :) so it is comletely normal that you need the time to realise that it is happening :) i wish you and your little baby lots of health :)

Btw, yay for januray baby :) i was born on the 3rd of jan, and my lovely mummy on the 15th :)
 
So stressful day meant I didn't eat much, and what I did eat made me feel seriously nauseous (couldn't even really drink anything). :( Seeing my surgeon tomorrow evening as an urgent appointment given what's going on now... and I can't get in to see the midwife until the 18th of June (I'll be 11 weeks by then!). Ugh! *sigh* Hope every one else is well! :)
 
you wont want to eat much in the first 12 weeks but if you can then i would go for things like milky stuff that is all the right proteins vitamins etc etc thats what my sons ex partner did but she had morning sickness the whole 9 months right upto delivery and no weight loss surgery to contend with either and for the nausea try ginger biscuits ginger beer or anything ginger if you like ginger it will help
 
Hope everything goes well with the surgeon tonight. I read on your other post about your dream. I think that's a pregnancy thing....I had mega weird an very realistic dreams thru both my pregnancies. Hope it's not upset you too much xxx
 
Not now it doesn't... but when I first woke up I sort of panicked a bit. I know dreams are going to be crazy for a while now. ;) Can't wait for tonight! I just want to reassurance from my surgeon and then I'll feel loads better. :)
 
good luck for tonight hope it all goes well
 
Saw Mr Sutton last night. Feeling loads better today. There's definitely some changes going on inside... I can feel them. Tea biscuits are helping with the nausea and the mint tea is helping settle my stomach, so I'm not doing too badly today. Just have to wait the three weeks 'til my midwife appointment. Gah, I don't like waiting. :p
 
Been feeling really low today. Really thankful I have a week holiday booked for next week. So tired and fuzzy-headed. Weigh-day on Sunday... gonna be an early weigh-in, but a late post as I have to cover the morning shift. I'm still going to keep track of my weight, 1) the midwife will probably want to know and 2) Mr Sutton said it was completely possible that I would still lose weight while being pregnant. Just want to make sure I monitor myself still. :)
Hope everyone is well!
 
Good to hear about the holidays comming! I am sure you will enjoy them!!!! It will give you time to rest more :)
 
Aww Jen, that sucks, hope you feel better, have a lovely relaxing time off. Oh how amazing would it be to have a baby and come out weighing less that you did before, blows your mind really!!! X
 
It does a bit... lol. But I still have some to lose... though if I do gain, I'm not going to worry about it too much. Just gonna keep track. :)
 
Make the most of the time off relax and enjoy
