I've been hungry all the time since I gave birth. Yet at the same time I have no appetite. My snacking habit seemed to die off even with the sporadic munch on pork floss during the early months or more recently Cheez Balls by Brim's, which I suspect bought the product over from Planter's, or bought Planter's. Anyway will Google and find out. Must be a reason why it disappeared from the supermarket shelves for 2 years (or is it 3)? Hmm...

Last weekend the whole family (sans cats) was down with some sort of stomach bug. Their poor Dad threw up violently about 10 times in 2 days. He gleefully said later his stomach had shrunk and he has lost some weight. I was spared the violence but felt cold and achy. It recurred again the last 2 days, this time with an awful nausea and body ache. I stayed in bed all day yesterday. After Jack threw up his food twice in the last 2 days (this is the third time in this para already), I realised he might have it too.

Anyway, it hasn't stopped me from eating. I am trying to gain more weight before someone calls me Skeletor. If people notice I am visibly thinner, that's a bad sign. I know many Moms have trouble losing weight after baby but oddly for me the weight keeps falling and falling. Either Jack's just drinking a lot of milk or I am just not sleeping enough, or it's because he's 9kg now and I am carrying him everywhere so that's some kind of exercise, or my appetite's been bad, or really, all of the above. I've yet to breach the 50kg mark in over a month and I've started drinking full cream milk and even Milo again. Okay, today I am 49kg. I haven't been this thin since I was 12.

Very disturbing...

On a cheerier note, Jack crawls very fast now. Last night when I got up to use the bathroom, he realised I was gone and starting calling for me. I rushed back in to find his voice oddly near the edge of the bed. I reached out and there he was, crawling towards me.

Actually not cheery but also very disturbing.

Note to self: buy another foldable mattress to wedge on floor at the edge of bed.

After a month of silence and some screaming, he is starting to talk again. Today he said Baba Boo. :)
