Summer week 11

Sorry if i put anyone off the idea of pregnancy last week as things are definately better this week.
Monday morning started very well and i realised that the sickness has subsided!!! yay.
Everything is not quite perfect yet though. My boobs ache like hell (still the same size though!) and my appetite is not fully back to normal but at least i can eat without wanting to throw up which is a move in the right direction.
The only new thing i am experiencing this week is heart palpitations. Not sure if this is a pregnancy thing or very unrelated but they started on monday and have got worse throughout the week (had 15 today already and it is only 2.30pm).
Going to the doctors tomorrow to get it checked out just to be on the safe side but i am sure its just a hormonal or anxiety thing.*
Starting to get excited now. I have the main scan on the 21st Feb and as long as everything is ok i will be going shopping with my mummy for the first of the baby stuff.
My sister went to NY last week and got baby henden an i heart NY babygrow - how cute!!!
Anyway things are definately better this week but the myth about pregnant women losing brain cells is definately true i'm afraid!
* Have been to docs today and these heart things do not seem to be pregnancy related. Have to have an ECG and blood tests next week which will hopefully get to the bottom of it.

Do what makes you most happiest...

This is something I have long forgotten but something I am aiming to rectify. I have been looking inwardly for a while now as I realised I have lost myself a bit. I have spent so long being mum, wife, councillor, chauffer, chef, cleaner, dog walker business owner etc etc etc (you get the idea) that I don't really know who I am anymore or what makes me tick. My son asked me last Mothers day what I would like to do as it was 'my day' - I honestly couldn't answer and my 11 year old boy just said "that's really sad". He was absolutely right, that is sad! When did I just stop living my own life to serve everyone else? I like to paint and have recently made time to complete a run of adult paint by numbers to decorate my living room with. I also started doing acrylic paintings and watching some Bob Ross for inspiration. This is a good start but I'm not passionate about it. Today I remembered what I used to be passionate about and that was writing so I am back...

Kat didn't get the cream as she isn't allowed :(

I have done a lot of reflection since my last post and made some positive steps. One of my pet hates is when people moan constantly about situations they have complete control over but are just too lazy to make the change needed. So with this in mind I am now following a super healthy diet. I think my stomach may still be in shock with the amount of fruit and vegetables it is receiving. Most of the time I think I am hungry I have a drink of water and it turns out I wasn't hungry at all. I have also started exercising again. Up until a week ago I was attending a super intensive boot camp three times a week but had to stop due to the pregnancy as the low impact version is just a waste of time. So on Thursday and Friday last week I had time off work and took my daughter out for ridiculous long walks. By Saturday my ankles started to swell a bit. Saturday was not a good day at all. I went on a mission to get a dress for my friend’s wedding that evening. Everything I tried on looke...

More than just skin deep

I have been MIA from the blogging scene for a while now. This is mainly due to health reasons that have consumed my life lately. For the first time in about two years I feel like I am winning my personal battle and wanted to start sharing again, so here goes. The main thing I want to focus on today is my Psoriasis. For those not "in the know" this is a horrible skin condition that causes red, itchy and scaly skin (it is as disgusting as it sounds). Psoriasis affects around 2% of people in the UK. It can start at any age but most often develops in adults under 35 years old, and affects men and women equally.   The severity of psoriasis varies greatly from person to person. For some it's just a minor irritation but, for others, it can majorly affect their quality of life. Unfortunately mine is the latter. I am now covered from my head to my toes in these awful looking patches of flakey, red soreness.  How it began: It all began in my scalp about 7 or 8 years ago ...
