Week 4 weigh in and other stuff

I know ... once again it has been forever since I posted! I have an excuse this time though! I haven't been feeling good, I think it was the stomach flu, well .... first it was just a sore throat, then the stomach flu, and now I have an eye infection and head cold! I have been to the doctors and ER more this week then I have all year! Tuesday we headed to the ER cause Jacob's eyes were all goopy and gross, I was worried it might be pink eye and I kinda trust the doctors at the ER more then the Medi-center so that is where we headed and lucky we were in and out of there in 45 minutes!! I know - I couldn't believe it either!! :O The doctors there said it was just a viral infection (something I'm hearing a lot of lately) and that it will just clear up they blamed the goop on blocked tear ducts. O-well better safe then sorry in my opinion.

Then on Wednesday I still wasn't feeling good and all I had been able to eat was toast for the past 3 days so I was feeling pretty weak. My stomach was rumbling so loud that it seriously sounded like thunder in my belly! But it wasn't hungry growl noise it was more like gas noise - anyway I was sick of feeling it and headed back to the hospital (thinking that the night before was a breeze - in and out in no time) but no such luck!! I walked in and the ER was packed!! People had been there for 4 hours and were still waiting so since I had already paid for parking I decided to wait and see how things went. Well the longer I waited the more my tummy hurt so after 3 hours of waiting I headed to the medi-center to see how busy they were (I figured if they were also busy at least I still had my spot at the hospital and would come back). I should have just went to the medi-center to begin with, I was in and out in an hour and a half with some prescription to help slow down my digestion. They next day I started feeling better but early in the morning I got a nose bleed that didn't want to stop and my eyes started to goop like Jacobs. But I decided I needed to get out and we went to swim class anyway (it was the last class and I wanted his report card). Well as you can probably guess, my nose bleed came back at swim class (after in the change room thankfully) and then again later that night!? So I was worried that it was a side effect from the prescription so today I go back to the doctors to get my eyes checked and ask about my nose bleed. Wow - that was a long story hey!? Hope your still with me..... anyway ... long story short - my nose bleeds are just cause I am sick and the eye goop is the same thing Jacob had but I went for blood work just in case.

My MIL looked after Jacob today while I ran around to the doctors which was a nice break, I'm so tired from just being sick and not eating. I stepped on the scale today and saw that I have already lost 6 pounds (un-official of course), I kinda hope they stay off, I don't need them but it isn't the best weight loss plan. The funny thing though is that I was quite satisfied with just having toast and didn't feel hungry at all!? Guess that's what happens when your sick. My eyes are bugging the crap out of me though, especially at night after a long day, staring at the computer probably isn't helping much either!?

Well I wanted to post a little bit about Jacobs 8 month b-day as well .... not too much is new surprisingly he still weighs 21lbs and 14oz!? He hasn't gained a thing and if anything he might have lost a few ounces? He did grow half and inch though and is now 28" !! He is rolling both ways now like a pro and he likes to stand, I posted a pic of him standing by the couch. He still only has two teeth and his sleeping went from bad to back to normal (he was getting up at 1am for a feeding and would go back to sleep but that seems to have stopped - knock on wood!) That's about all - I think?

So now for my week 4 weigh in (4 days late) .... I lost -1.2lbs (this weigh in was taken on Monday before my "toast diet" so my next weigh in should be more then is). I know it's kinda confusing when I don't post my weigh in's on the weigh in day ... I must get better at that! Good news is that I think I was the only one to loose weight last week in the New Mom Biggest Loser Challenge and if the weight I lost from me being sick stays off then I might have a chance at winning!? But we are going out for supper on Sunday so who knows what my weigh in numbers will be?! That's all for now - hopefully I will post again on Tuesday with my weigh in numbers (if not sooner)!!
