Mr Rio has his second cold. Last time it was just a little 2 day thing. This time he's all snuffly and snotty and wakes up in the night coughing and forgetting that he can actually breathe through his mouth too. Feel so sorry for him because obviously he doesnt know how to blow his nose yet. Last night was the first night in months ive had to do night feeds. Ooh i havent missed them at all.

Then when his nose had finally cleared abit and he'd settled i was awoken by the sound of him filling his nappy through the baby monitor..lovely! Me and the OH just looked at each other and giggled abit before i dived under the covers and announced i was "asleep" ;) worked a treat. Naughty mummy.

^^ Rio making the most of Craigs Grandpa's carpet. Think its time we ditched our laminate.

Phantom kick, wtf?

Yes, you read right.. apparently alot of women get phantom kicks for some time after having a baby..maybe even forever!!

& i happen to be one of them. At first i was like wtf?? but my mum kindly reassured me that im not pregnant again dont worry, its just my stomach muscles..and once you've felt a baby kick inside you.. it starts to feel like them first light ones. WEIRD. VERY WEIRD. I do miss Rio's movements and my bump but this is just stange.

Speaking of little Rio. He has got his first cold. Awww i feel so helpless. They dont know how/cant blow their noses so have to stay all snuffly. Ive stocked up on baby cold stuff and hopefully it will go away soonies :) poor little mite.

Craig has now got 9 days off.. and i am going to make the most of it! Be prepared for lots of pictures.

so the colds worked in my favour

Still got this horrible cold/flu thing. To be honest naughtily its worked in my favour abit. Ive still had to get up and about but not really been able to eat all that much because of my throat infection. Soooo ive lost 2 inches off my hips out of no where (before i was working my ass of and not losing a mm) and another inch off my waist, thats 3 now! Add another half off my thighs and thats me in a size 8. Not even a tight size 8!! When Rio was born i was squeezing into a size 12 in the shops. So in the space of what a month where ive been trying? ive lost 2 dress sizes, plus some!! I never want to be a size 6 again, so im stopping here. I will be keeping up with the workouts though as i love food too much. I maybe wont do the instanity anymore, if i do it will be for the tone.. or to get me beach ready in the future. For now though im happy. I'll just row away while watching the soaps on a night.

Still over a stone heavier than pre pregnancy. Still a dress size bigger. Still inches bigger everywhere! But you know what. I feel good. I dont feel great yet, but when ive toned more and got my fitness back who knows.

Bit MIA at the moment

The lack of posts at the moment is down to me being full of cold. Trying my hardest to shift it before the little man makes his appearance (hopefully not long now). But nothing seems to be working, so im just being lazy on the sofa with my quilt & lots of tissues (and its lovely weather outside in the UK for once) to try and sweat it out of me. I cant imagine going into labour now, i cant even breathe through my nose never mind breathe through contractions. Ohhh well, i suppose i could 'cough the baby out' haha!! 

Should be back soon. Hopefully shortly followed by lots of pictures.. bare with me xo
