Morning all! Thanks for your messages yesterday, I've caught up now.
MyJob, WOW!!!! I'm thrilled for you re weight gain
MM, had a laugh re LSD Martha
Congrats re sleep MM/ CSWS.
Ekka, I didn't even think about bread! I've not had any yet, had organic porridge with oat milk this morning mmmmm (HMM misses her DF choc spread ) Thanks for letting me know about Morrisons, I'll get some. I don't mind that small rye(?)bread loaf you can get, I assume that will be soya free too. I have a breadmaker but only DH has used it
She did tell me a chocolate I could have, it's dark choc, it's Tesco Finest 85% Ecuadorian organic. I'm allowed to have a chunk of it in the evening But I found some choc brownies in the free from range at sains (sains own brand) which don't seem to have soya or dairy in them (but i need to double check today).
I am really worried about the calories tho for BF, and esp as it's such a drastic change, I'm gonna be eating a fraction of the calories I had, I was prob having far too many. Do u think the huge stores of fat I have will ensure the breast milk is OK??? On the other hand, my diet is hardly healthy at the moment so anything would be an improvement.
MM I used to LOVE trampolining, I can't believe you can get lessons in it, I may look those up for myself (once my knees/ hips/ pelvis work again obv)
I have had a dull headache ever since the acupuncture yesterday and I feel a bit "fuzzy". It was really interesting, she was asking me stuff and it was all making sense and pointing to the same thing, she really impressed me. Apparently I'm a "hot" person and all my probs, including the knees, come from stomach probs. For example she reckons my stomach probs are the reason I couldn't complete the labour without forceps, she said everyone she's seen with stomach probs has had to have a c-section. She also guessed that I get more hot and sweaty than most in summer and that when I get headaches it is in my forehead...I could go on. It also explains why my skin isn't very good and why I get PMT & period pains apparently.
It was a revelation all in all. I think she said her sister was a dietician and she had studied her diets and brought the chinese medicine element into it. I know what you mean MM but I have to trust someone and try something and I have my friends recommendations so I know she is good, plus hopefully the paed dietician will be soon so I can get a second opinion there.
I was gonna do sweet potato today but am not sure whether to just stick to baby rice or leave it for a few days.
I've just tried Poppy in the door bouncer for the same time, she just turned round instead of bouncing but she seemed to like it, it was really sweet.
Wow, another epic post! Sorry for droning!
