Weight Watchers

Ok after being with my husband for over 7 years and had 2 children in the last 3 years i have found my self going from a dress size 10/12 to a size 16! i can understand that a size 16 isnt too bad but for the fact that im only 5ft tall it doesnt look good, ive always been a girl with curves especially up top with always being at least a D cup! but ive got to the stage that im just not happy with my figure! Therefore tonight is the night when i officially join weight watchers. some might not agree with weight watchers but im wiling to give it a go. My friend has joined so at least ill have someone there for friendly support!

Im not in a rush to lose weight i would just like to feel better about myself and buy clothes that are not always baggy tops and joggy bottoms! i want to look good and feel better! id be happy to lose a 1lb a week, at least its something if i do that for 6 months then thats 26lbs, so thats the way im going to look at it! 1LB A WEEK FOR 6 MONTHS!!!! IS THAT DO ABLE?? we'll see!

WISH ME LUCK!!!xx

Amy

Well well, what can i say about my little cherub! She is now 3 months old and i cannot believe how quickly she has settled into our family. My son is smitten with his baby sister, he just dotes on her. now and then i catch him staring at her with a big goofy grin on his face. which of course makes my heart melt. Shes growing into a beautiful little angel and is starting to get her little personality which i must admit is amazing. her big gummy smile and cheeky dimples gets me everytime.

However 3 months earlier, as her birth began, it wasnt all plain sailing. my labour began at 4am really quickly and very intense. my husband was his usual calm self as always and gathered everything we needed. waiting on the in laws to arrive to babysit our son, we excitedly begun talking about her arrival. we arrived at the hospital at 7:30am and i was already 5cm dilated. as my labour 'progressed' my waters broke and my contractions continued. However after 8 hours i was STILL 5cm dilated! heartbroken i was to say the least and devastated that an emergancy section was the only way to get her out safely! the next 15mins were the worst minutes of my life. being rushed down a narrow corridor my husband being left outside while 10 doctors, nurses, etc gathered round me, poking and prodding me with needles, discussing my babies weak condition in medical jargon that just scared me to my core! as i lay there shaking and terrified, my hubby came in and tears were welling in his eyes too! but after 3 minutes little Amy was born healthy and happy.

IT JUST SHOWS THAT EVER GIRL NEEDS A BIG ENTRANCE
