post pregnancy weight loss nz | Life Lately

post pregnancy weight loss nz

Oooops! I seem to have slid off the blogging horizon for a few days there.  But fear not. I havent done anything drastic like trying to dye my hair again (more on that later), and me and baby are doing well. Life has felt pretty hectic lately, so I thought I would do a quick blog post to let you know what Ive been up to and whats going on in this little old head of mine.

Bloggers Block

When its come to sit down and blog recently Ive really questioned myself as to what to actually type. This doesnt happen to me very often, but sometimes, sometimes I think what on Earth can I write that people would want to read? And as soon as I start questioning myself, thats where it all goes a little bit pear shaped. From not knowing what to write about, I then convince myself that nobody reads my blog anyway, and have I actually got anything interesting to say?  This extends to my Twitter...do I want to Tweet this? Is this even interesting to anyone other than my mum? And my Instagram...is this photo Instagram worthy? Probably not. 

I always seem to favour that worst case scenario, it seems to be my default setting.  But thinking like that is not healthy and quite frankly you dont get very far thinking that way.  Because I am who I am.  And whilst my Tweets may not be amazing, or my Instagram snaps not of London Fashion Week, I can only be me.  And if my mum is my only fan, then so be it (thanks mum).  So after my crisis of confidence and taking a few days off, Im feeling refreshed and ready to blog, Tweet and Instagram to my hearts content!  

Pre-school Changes

My daughter now goes to pre-school for two full days and a morning a week.  Its really strange not having her with me all the time, and Im still getting used to having the house to myself.  As Im now in my last trimester of my second pregnancy I think as the weeks go by Im really going to appreciate having some time to myself just to relax and chill out a bit.  At the moment Im really enjoying time to focus on my blog, catch up on things and walk the dog at a little bit of a faster pace than toddler pace. 

Primary School 

Dare I put this on the post? Come November, its time for us to start thinking of where our daughter will go to school.  Its such a huge decision and Ive currently got a list of schools that we are in the catchment area for.  We have about 5 to choose from and I dont know if thats a good thing we have such a choice, or if it would be easier just to have one or two to pick from.  We are going to open day next week for one, so I will let you know how it goes! How my baby is big enough to go to school next year I do not know.

Hair

You my or may not remember my hair disaster that happened only a few weeks ago where I dyed it a nice shade of orange.  Whilst my hair is no longer orange, Im still not happy with it, and quite frankly I want to chop it all off (my mum will do an audible gasp here, sorry mum).  If you follow me on Pinterest, you will see Ive been secretly looking at pictures of bobs since earlier in the year, but I keep talking myself out of it.  

At the moment I am loving Caroline Flacks bob.  The dilemma is, is my lust for a bob pregnancy-hormone related? Will I regret having the chop after Ive had baby? Hmmm, Im not too sure.  Dont worry, Im not going to get the kitchen scissors out just yet, but, I think I will give myself to the end of October and if I still want it short then I may just go for it before my due date.  Watch this space! 

Being Alone

My husband has been away ALOT with work at the moment and he is due to go away again in the next few weeks, after hat he is banned from all overseas travel for fear he might miss the labour! I really miss him when hes away and even though Im on my own all day anyway with our daughter whilst he works,  not having him here in the evenings and mornings is really hard.  

In fact its a bit lonely.  Not that I even want to go out or have friends round, because, quite frankly Im in my pjs for 8pm (who am I kidding, we all know Im in them well before that!), but its just the fact that hes not here when I go to sleep and when I wake up.  

Due to the time zones our conversations are really quick, usually just before he goes to bed or before I go to bed.  Its given me alot of respect for single parent families (not that I know how that feels, but I think being on my own so much has given me just a tiny glimpse).  He has one more trip and then no more travel for him for the rest of the year. Hurrah! 

I think that brings you up to speed with whats been going in on the Bee household, alongside preparations for Baby Bee in November, time just feels like its going by very quickly.

Thanks for sharing my blogging journey with me, and I will be posting tomorrow too to make up for my short week last week, so please be sure to pop back, 

Hope you are having a great Tuesday,

early pregnancy weight loss normal | Pregnancy Blog Week 32

early pregnancy weight loss normal

Hello week 32! I am not at all prepared to write this weeks blog post I have to say.  I have completely neglected to take a picture of bump, and as Im typing this, I cant wait to get into bed, but I didnt want to miss my weekly update.  So here we are. 

It feels like I have had a really busy week this week and lots has been going on.  My daughter has struggled a little getting back into the routine of pre-school which is emotionally exhausting in itself, and then weve had quite busy days in-between all of this. My husband is also away on a business trip at the moment, so last night I set a new record and went to bed at 7.30pm! 

For some bizarre reason I am constantly comparing this pregnancy to my last one and almost convincing myself Im doing a worse job.  I think that I shouldnt be as tired as I am, and that I should have more energy.  But, by this time last pregnancy I had actually finished work, and I certainly wasnt climbing up a soft play step ladder (which I was earlier this week). I think Im being way too tough on myself and its actually quite ridiculous to compare the pregnancies as they are going to be different.  Im setting myself up for a fail. 

I had some lower back ache earlier in the week, and for the second time now, I convinced myself I could be going into labour.  Im not sure what my obsession with going into an early labour is.  But, obviously I wasnt, which is a good job as my husband flew out that morning. 

Whilst I havent packed my hospital bag yet, I have wrote a list of things that need to go in it! Hurrah! All I need to do now is go and buy all of the stuff. Expect an upcoming post as to whats in my labour bag when I finally pack it! I did manage to wash all of babys new clothes today.  I really dont like that smell that you get from brand new clothes, and dont you ever wonder how clean they actually are? Anyway, I just gave them a quick wash and they now smell lovely.  I have bought newborn sizes and to me,  I think the baby gros look way too small, but I have a feeling I have completely forgotten how small a newborn actually is.  

My other complaint at the moment is needing the toilet ALL of the time. If I wake in the night, I have to go and pee.  In fact, if I walk past a toilet, my body urges me to go and use it.  In fact, that may be why I am so tired.  Im constantly walking to or from the toilet at any given moment!

As the weeks go on, Im getting more and more excited.  I cant wait to meet Baby B, well, I can certainly wait another 8 weeks, but there is definitely the anticipation of meeting our amazing little baby in the air.  

I promise to be a better blogger and post some pics next week.

Have a great weekend,

newborn baby weight loss | Tears at Pre school

newborn baby weight loss

When you become a parent you know that you would do anything to keep your little one safe and happy.  You are their protector, you are the one they run to when they need a cuddle.  You will wipe their tears and make it all better.  So when your little one goes to pre-school or nursery for the very first time and it doesnt quite go to plan, it can be one of the hardest things.  

                       

My three year old daughter has been attending pre-school since Easter, and this month we increased her hours to two full days and a morning.  We had a wobbly beginning at the start of the year, and she would get anxious before going to pre-school and then tearful as I left. Id ring up the pre-school after 30 minutes and they would reassure me that she was fine and had settled well.  Sure enough, when I would pick her up she would be running and laughing with the other children and wouldnt even notice I was there.  

Those drops off when she would cry would break my heart.  Id come home questioning if I was doing the right thing by sending her, if I should just wait a few more months. But the drop-offs got easier. She got used to the routine and began to happily run in.   

Last week though after 6 weeks off, at drop off, my daughter burst into tears and cried and screamed, mummy, mummy dont leave me.  It was awful. What I wanted to do was scoop her up and tell her that it was ok and we would go home together and play.  But I knew that wasnt the best thing to do.  

As the parent, I know that she enjoys pre-school and that it is good for her.  I knew that she had to get used to the routine again. But in that moment I felt so guilty and heartbroken that my little baby was upset.  I just about made it out of the door before bursting into tears myself.  

I rang up the pre-school after 30 minutes and they told me she was laughing and dancing.

The next day, she was absolutely fine at drop-off and toddled in to sit next to her friend.  Today, she had a little cry but went with one of the teachers to go and paint a picture as I left. 

I know for some children going to pre-school is not a big deal. That they take to it quickly, kiss their mum and dads goodbye and laugh and giggle on their way in. 

But I think for some, its not that easy.  And thats ok. 

As parents I think we think we must be doing something wrong.  That our child is clingy. That maybe they arent ready if they cry when we drop them off.  But I think thats wrong. 

Every child is different.  

I want to tell those parents that you have to give it time and allow them that chance to settle in.  Only you can know if your child is ready.  But guess what? Even if they are ready they can still become upset and tearful saying goodbye.   

I know my daughter is definitely ready for pre-school and I know that in a few weeks she will no longer cry as I say goodbye. 

My daughter runs out of pre-school with about 6 paintings she has done for me.  And yesterday she started singing in the bath a song about the jungle which shes never sang before.  I was so proud of her! 

My advice is hang on in there.  Tears at the doors are ok and in time they will soon turn into happy smiles and excited tales of the days adventures. 

Here you can read about my daughters first day at preschool and an update from earlier in the year.
