All is well ....
Lucas had his scan yesterday and all is looking good. The kids had a great day with him yesterday and it really helped to lift their spirits.
Sometimes I think the internet can be a blessing and a curse. Naturally I've been googling premature babies and reading their birth stories. Some are great - some are not. When I've told people I'm a nana they go congratulations. Then I tell them he was born 28 weeks prem and some automatically think the worse. You can see it in their expressions. But I know he's going to fine. At the end of the day he's my grandson and nothing will change that.
Well other things have been happening as well. Last weekend I was in Auckland for a conference. There were some fantastic speakers and there was one that spoke on nutrition and she was great. Some very useful tips which I'll write down and post.
My stomach seems to still be shrinking. I'm beginning to find that not only are my portion sizes smaller but I'm struggling to eat them. Also if I feel full I have no problems pushing my plate away. This is a huge thing for me. Especially as last week was TTOM. I have been rewarded with a 1.2kg loss. I'm going to do my best to make sure I keep plodding along this path rather than worry about numbers.
Phew I'm glad it's Friday. I am so looking forward to a lie in the morning. I have felt quite exhausted this week. I can't remember when I've spent so much time on the phone and txting people to keep everyone updated. Tonight I'm going to snuggle in front of the fire - find something decent to watch and chill out with a wine. It looks like we're in for a very wild and wet weekend.
Hope you all stay warm and dry.
Catch you later.
