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. :)
