I wear this pendant every day to remind me of you my sweet little girl.
For 2 days in a row I exercised twice in one day. Twice! Today I went to Fitness First for 40 minutes in the morning before work and this afternoon I went to Fernwood for 50 minutes after work. Still surviving with Optifast for dinner, though tonight I did have to have a piece of [...]
I thought this would be the first year in 4 years that I wouldn’t apply for the Biggest Loser. However since the events of the last few weeks, I guess I am once again eligble. Strangely enough, it had not even occured to me to apply. I had thought about it a few times over [...]
All has been going well since my adjustment. I’m happy with the portions I’m eating again and was beginning to wonder why I’d never had all the problems others have experienced with the band being tight. I am apparently very close to my band being completely full and yet I have very few issues. I [...]
I had a much needed adjustment yesterday and am feeling much better about my food quantities again. I have walked for 40 minutes for the past 2 days and spent an hour at the gym today. So even though it is early days I’m feeling much better about my prospects for getting some of [...]
It doesn’t seem quite right, but the world continues to spin despite our recent tragedy. Each day has gotten easier, though the pain hasn’t lessened.

As I look back on my experience yesterday I’m angry.
I’m angry that the loss of my baby was treated with such disrespect.
I’m angry that as I looked through my documentation from the clinic yesterday that the letter they sent to my doctor said “Dear Doctor (nice personalisation there), Rachael attended Marie Stopes International Salsibury Centre [...]
As if what we have been through is not enough, today I had to go to an abortion clinic to have a dilation and curettage. Aside from my Mum dying 14 years ago, it was truly one of the worst experiences of my life. I sat in a room full of women and girls who [...]
Unfortunately our baby’s heart stopped sometime over the weekend. I suspect it was Saturday night as I slept terribly that night and woke up many times. I woke up at one point feeling physically very strange and feeling a kind of heartbeat in my hand and arm and it all was just weird. I woke [...]
I am carrying a 15 week old baby girl with Turners Syndrome. As I mentioned in my last post, Turners girls who survive the pregnancy lead relatively normal lives. They are intellectually normal and mostly physically normal too aside from being shorter than normal and the fertility issues. However most babies don’t survive the pregnancy.
They [...]
