Row row row your boat

Before i had Rio i could eat what i wanted and still be stick thin. Man i took that for granted. I even complained about my figure, i was never happy. Sometimes id even look in the mirror and think i was fat. Looking at pictures now, i think damn! i would give anything to be like that again. The combination of having a baby and the contraception injection has left me at my heaviest ever. (6st4 to 7stone10). keep in mind im not a lanky larry, the smaller you are the smaller you have to be :(. Its not the stretchmarks, i dont even really mind them. For my baby to grow, i had to. Why doesnt weight just go where you want it to though. Abit more on my two B's would be nice (bust &bum)

 "Those stretchmarks havent ruined your body. Your a goddamn tiger, and you've earnt your stripes"

Ive posted before about giving your body time, just enjoy your baby. I think coming up 3 months is personally enough time for me. I've bought a rowing machine. I'm doing hand weights and an ab workout. Heck im even doing some of the insanity workout! I will get my figure back. But god have you gotta sweat you butt off to do it.

Goal: To lose 10 pounds. I dont ever want to be weighty, but i dont wanna be ribs again either.

lil mans in his cot already

Mr Rio is now in his cot. 11 week old. He's grown so fast i thought it was time he had some more room. Gosh he looks so tiny at the bottom, like a little newborn again :D aww. The first night felt so weird, id got used to rocking him back to sleep after a feed. I may of even tried wobbling the cot abit hehe. Needless to say, that didnt work. And he self settled and slept until half 4. He does that all the time now. Infact last night he went 8.30 til 5 :o wowzers. One night feed really isnt bad at all. I feel more tired with extra sleep though? got so used to waking up every 3 hours on the dot. I swear babies have built in feeding alarms. Praying we dont get the 'four month regression'.

Word to the wise. Dont put the cot up in the nursery. Yesss it may look all adorable waiting for them to arrive etc, but they wont be in that moses basket til 6 months and they can go in their own room. No sir ee. You'll have to take it down and put it back up in your room. Probs on your own because your too  impatient to wait til your partner gets in from work. hehe x

Rio's gunna win the match ;)

Its no secret that i no longer really like football. That phase well and truley went out the window yearsss ago. I know i know i should show more interest because of Craigs involvement but nope..sorry not for me. I just gaze at the tv or the pitch and dilly dally daydream hehe. But i couldnt resist this post.. it just tickled me hehe.

England have decided to let 'rio' play afterall ;)

Ten weeks

Do i look that funny Rio?

Rio's been trying to laugh for weeks but just couldnt get it out right, today after shopping i did my work out while he was in his swing.. and yes you guessed it.. he chuckled at me!

First injections

Well that came around soo fast didnt it. Heck he's 9 weeks old.

I've warned Craig to book the day off and come with me for his next ones. Horrible horrible horrible. Squeeled like he was hurt, stopped..and then they jabbed him again! Oh well, its worth it in the long run isnt it :)

He's 11lb4oz now :) putting weight on nicely. Needs to put abit more on though so his 0-3 sleepsuits fit. Still in awe. Think i always will be.

Trying to not let interfering comments get me down..all it takes is a cheeky Rio smile and im sorted :)

Im not normal

You'd of thought after the lack of sleep for the last 2 months that given the chance id sleep straight through right? wrong!! Last night Rio slept from 9-5 (instead of waking every 3 hours) and i was awake waiting for him to want a bottle, everytime he murmered i shot up, only for him to nod back off! What-a-wolly.

Am i cheeky?

Little man is awake but i just couldnt resist posting this so its a very quick on today.
Never saw such an appropriate item of clothing in my life. I actually hate the outfit but you know.

Day 5

Day 5 of my 30 day shred and i swear nothings changed even though ive been exercising my butt off! Haha i want results too fast thats my problem.. impatient cow!! .. honestly though, its my nephews christening on the 1st so i would like to look okay at least. Thinking of getting one of those dipped hem dresses (short at front long at back) as i cant pull off a full maxi as i am a total short arse.

Big brother is back.. its my guilty pleasure!! No matter how crappy i just have to watch it else i feel like im missing out. Granted i will be watching it online though most days,  9oclock is normally bottle sterilising etc time and getting ready and heading to beddy byes. Yawn!!

Best include abit of Rio in here eh? ;) He's been cheeky grinning at me every time i look at him and i cant resist. He's going to get away with murder this one i think.

Another 'just remembered'

For the first day while i was still in hospital, i still felt like i needed to push. Sooo much pressure in my bumbum..hell is that about? haha
