She put in another 1ml giving me about 10ml total. I was surprised as I thought they only took 10ml but she said she has a girl with 14ml in hers. Interesting. Anyway I noticed the ... http://notthebiggestloser.com/?p=285 So the 1st Jan has come and gone...and the Monday after the 1st Jan has also come and gone and I am no closer to being in control than I was.  I have an appointment next week for another fill. I really hope that helps. I need some serious restriction. ... http://notthebiggestloser.com/?p=283 I have been wanting to update here for some time but honestly I just don't seem to have any time to myself these days...I love being a Mum but boy is it tiring and time consuming! I miss being able to just go and do whatever I want to do ... http://notthebiggestloser.com/?p=280 Here's the long, painful story... I started feeling mild contractions around 1am Wed morning 5/8/2009. By 5am they’d gotten really bad and I was starting to get a bit scared.

I just did my first ante-natal class last night and it was a ... http://notthebiggestloser.com/?p=268 We decided to have a 'fun' scan at 24 weeks, as I really love seeing how the baby has grown etc. We got a few good photos.

We have another one booked at 30 weeks as apparently this is when ... http://notthebiggestloser.com/?p=255 It's been a hard 5 months so far, this pregnancy, but things are just now starting to settle down. Aside from the dreadful nausea up to about 15 weeks, I started suffering from terrible Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction which started off as mild discomfort in the pelvis region, but ended up ... http://notthebiggestloser.com/?p=251 At 19 weeks and 5 days we went for our morphology scan. Although we were nervous, we were also hoping that if everything looked good during this scan that our risk of downs would be decreased by 4. The first stage of the scan was done by a girl who was ... http://notthebiggestloser.com/?p=250   So we went back to the sonographer for our 14 week scan about 6 weeks ago now.  We were very nervous as last pregnancy when we visited this office it was for an amnio at 14 weeks and we naively expected everything to be fine, but within minutes of walking ... http://notthebiggestloser.com/?p=247
