Becoming mother of TWO!

This morning I went to a “mums and bumbs” meeting for an informal coffee/tea for pregnant women and women with small babies.

I was in hormone heaven!

I had forgotten how small these tiny gorgeous things are and how unbelievably cute they are! I can’t wait for our new baby to arrive. Hopefully I will be able to enjoy it more this time around compared to last time. I recently watched some videos of Silas when he was a baby and he was just unbelievably cute!

Sad news is that I don’t remember him being this cute. This may sound awful but when you are sleep deprived and sick and tired of breast-feeding, the moments when you think your baby is super cute are rarer or you’ve simply forgotten because the brain does not function well on so little sleep and remembering how cute they are is not a priority. Not throwing them off the balcony when they just won’t stop crying is much higher on the priority list!

Don’t get me wrong I always thought Silas was way cuter than any other baby and much more intelligent of course. Just as any mother thinks of their baby. I still think Silas is the cutest and most intelligent 2yr-old out there. I really do! I think he is so intelligent that I am considering having him tested! OK, now I do sound silly, moving on…

Anyway, I met some wonderful mums and mums-to-be at the coffee/tea meeting. For some of them it was their second baby, even third! They all seemed to have survived and be happy and love (of course) their new baby! I guess some things are easier the second time around. For instance we don’t have to busy our brains with silly thoughts about motherhood or who am I now, a mother? These are all questions that are already answered.

Plus, I KNOW I can survive the sleepless nights and even the breast-feeding. I also know what is to come, so there’ll be fewer surprises, I guess? Of course every child is different, so it wont be exactly the same.

What I know for sure is that I love Silas and will love the new baby immensely! No question about it! But how will it be with two children? Two boys even? I guess I will find out.

A new beginning

Follow me as I take you through my journey of weight loss, post-baby weight loss that is! I am due in 3 months and plan to have reached my pre-baby weight of 75 kg by the end of the year 2015.

This is my second pregnancy and last time I gained about 25 kg. My goal is to not gain as much this time and have it all lost by 31st of December 2015! Am I crazy? Maybe. Maybe just crazy to want to blog about it!

My absolute goal weight has always been to weigh 60-65 kg – I am 172cm, but with my big-boned-body type (as if…) and love of sugar and fattening foods (oh that’s more like it…) it has never been possible. I feel good at 75 kg, so this will be my goal post pregnancy. Maybe once I have reached that I will pursue the ultimate goal, but I believe one should never take on too much too fast. “You do remember what happened to the little girl that tried to much too fast don’t you? She died, Jill” (Yes! I am a die-hard FRIENDS fan!). So for now, lets focus on getting to the feel-good point of 75 kg.

My current weight is 87 kg. I am 33 years old and this is my second child – another boy and I cannot find a suitable name for him. Luckily I still have 3 months to figure it out and I wont reveal it before he is in my arms 😉

My plan is to post every Friday about the week that has past. This is quite nerve racking as it probably is for anyone who starts to blog, but I have lately tried to live by Nike’s motto “Just do it”, so this is what I am going to do. Wish me luck and “see you” next Friday.
