Yeah its so crazy, I just thought they were exaggerating about needing less but nope, they were spot on lol. I had to stop breastfeeding on sunday as I was like a walking corpse. woke last night with two hypos at 1.4 and 1.6... so decreased the lantus to 16 today! still no signs of needing humalog tho!! 🙄
ill give it another week and im sure it will be back to normal! haha x

I kept waking up to 13's so had to keep upping my lantus I think I've finally got it to a good level now (I hope). I lost 3 stone in about 2 weeks couldn't believe how quickly it dropped off me 😱 not that I'm complaining or anything. I'm sure you'll do it again one day but not anytime soon
It's nice to be a bit more relaxed about your levels isn't it not worrying the little person inside is being affected by what's going on with them xIts deffo less stressful not having to worry anyway lol yeah I was amazed how much I lost but 3st is impressive I have another 8lb to lose so I think that will wait til im healed a bit more, coz that aint gonna drop off i dnt think hehe
Im soo tired tonight, I get really sore at night its like a false hope wen u wake up feeling so normal in the morning I think!! I keep having to stop myself doing too much! doh! 🙄
How you feeling these days then emma? tell me it gets better haha xxx

Yeah I found that in the first few weeks i'd be okay most of the day but then by evening time i'd be in a lot of pain again so just try and take it easy if you can. I had Pre eclampsia so had lots of fluid in my body so that was some of the weight I lost. It does get better I promise lou 😉 I'm still a little sore and still can't wear jeans so have been wearing dresses until it gets better.I've got my post natal check this thursday to see if everything is well with me and jessica xx
So are you enjoying being a mum then emma? I am loving it well except the lack of sleep haha
I know what u mean bout jeans, im in leggins or in size 14 jeans coz they baggier! I keep looking at my size 8s in the cupboard and thinking how many nice pairs I have but cant wear yet lol 🙄
but my wee baby is worth all of that, I still cant believe she is here sometimes! Colin has taken to it really well, its hard to think that we both used to be party animals lol it was a kebab in one hand and a beer in the other on a friday night now its a baby and a dirty nappy!!😉
So is it just the gp you see for your check? xx

Yeah I'm enjoying it - definately not enjoying the lack of sleep but it'll only get better (lets hope) Size 8 😱 I've not been a size 8 since school I'm hoping to get back into my size 14 jeans soon. Yeah just the gp for the post natal check, i'll be glad when it's done and the health visitors stop coming in so I can just get on with being a mum 🙄 xx
Lol, I just got rid of the midwife so have the Health visitor to look forward to now. She was actually meant to be here today but seems to be 2hrs late 🙄
Just as well im waiting on my sideboard getting delivered!! haha
Im no really a size 8, more a size ten that can fit into some size 8s lol but hey a girl can have her dreams eh!! 😉

I had my post natal check yesterday and all is well she said she couldn't hear jessica's heart murmur which is good news. Still got appointment at the end of may to check it out. I've got my LAST hv appointment monday to do the post natal depression quiz, did she turn up in the end the other day then?
I'd love to be a size 12 or even a 10 again but I know it probably won't happen I love my food too much lol
How are you finding being a mummy then? Hope grace is well xxx

Thats great news about jessica fingers crossed all is well in may 😉 Im sure it will be though!!
HV ended up coming yesterday instead apparently she tried my door 3 times and couldnt get an answer. I know this aint true coz I was up real early and sat in all day, my front door is like a meter away from my living room door!! haha
I love my food as well so these last 7lb are going to take a while, I dont mind though! Its just unfair that im not pregnant anymore coz I had an excuse to stuff my face if i felt like it lol
Grace is doing good though, she is up to 6lb now from 5lb8 it was a bit disheartening that she dropped to 5lb1 before we left hospital as they werent going to let us go until she gained and since the low blood sugar which seen her in the nnu for 5 days, meant she was a poor feeder and needed nasogastric tubes until day 4 they werent too sure. I was just so glad she was putting it on now She eats like a horse now haha
Oh I meant to ask you, how long did they want you to wear your anti embolism stockings? they are doing my head in and its only been 2 and half weeks!! damned c section!! x

I didn't get anti embolism stockings. Probably a silly question but what do they do? You could always call the health visitor and ask her whether you still need to wear them or ask twitchy/allison if they had to wear them and how long for. Sorry can't be any more use.
I can't believe you had such a tiny baby still, I'm not surprised she's a guzzler she's trying to grow big and strong. It's hard not to stuff your face like you used to isn't it lol and say oh it's the cravings making me eat.
I'm finally able to wear some jeans although they are still maternity one's. I can't believe jessica will be 2 months old this tuesday it's mad! Are you still quite sore from the section?
The doctor asked me whether we were thinking of having another baby in the next year or so and we both immediately said no that won't be happening again anytime soon xx

Theyre for to prevent blood clots I was told six weeks but its not like im laid up or anything plus you get the fragmin for 5 days post op that thins ur blood so think im well past needing them I mean I walked two mile down the town today and usually moderately active... They just annoy me lol
Im still quite tender where my scar is now that you ask, I guess thats normal though! Its healed on outside but im assuming that it takes a while longer for ur inside cuts to mend as well. Im still peeved I ended with a c section to be honest lol
hows you feeling? you getting any pain still?
I am totally on your page though with regard to having another, we have decided the same as you guys haha maybe in the distant future!! 😉
