Staying in for the day can be as fun as going out!

Today has been eventful in a non-eventful way,  I havent been out apart from nipping to the shops at 9 this morning. We had to stay in as we were having the windows fixed in the flat, so I decided to make mince pies for the first time! I have to admit I didnt make my own mincemeat but did make my own pastry. Sadly the only problem being on a diet is that its hard to be so strong willed and resist devouring the fruits of my labour.I had 2 pies, well they were falling apart and too crumbly to serve to anyone, so I suppose that doesnt count? I wont tell if you dont!  As well as learning that I am quite a good little pastry chef, I also learnt that Louis can actually go down for a nap without screaming for 20 minutes. Today he simply lay down in his cot, and that was it, out for the count, for a good hour,woooohoooo! I also learnt that Louis can eat a half a rice cracker all on his own, without dropping it, squishing it or throwing it on the floor, a big achievement in mealtime ettiquette! Ah the excitement of being a domesticated mummy.

How do people look after babies when poorly?

So today I had my first glimpse into what it will be like when properly poorly and having Louis to look after. I didnt like what I experienced. 

Tuesdays are what I call 'Fat Day'  I get weighed at Slimming World at 10am, come home and eat rubbish, then end up going to bed feeling sooooooooo sick from all the junk I have consumed in one day.  

Today I came home, ate some toast, white bread,none of this healthy malarky on a Tuesday. Had a few other calorific items ad then decided enough was enough for the time being. A few hours later I suddenly felt very very sick, was going hot and cold and couldnt keep my eyes open. Louis was screaming to be picked up and when he was sat on me, I felt even worse. What do I do?  I couldnt bear the thought of having to feed him his lunch of macaroni cheese with peas, but couldnt leave the child to starve and cry.  

Before I got out the phone and beg for the husband to get home from work immediately, Louis decided he was happy enough to play on the carpet for an hour, with the help of CBeebies and I managed a quick doze. I wish I could say I woke up refreshed and raring to go, but Im the type of person that even after 3 days of sleep, I would never have that feeling!!!  

I now feel better, and am ready for my date with my girls and a big fat desert, its like I never even felt ill, but for that one hour, I really thought I was in for it!  Maybe next week I should only eat one KitKat Chunky instead of 2?

Not sure why I am doing this!

Since 11:47 on the 30th of April 2010, my life has changed dramatically,I am now a Mummy! No longer can I decide to just spend the whole day in bed, or go shopping without buying something small and cute, my life is now consumed with my love and obsession for my gorgeous son Louis Monty! 

Dont ask me why I have decided to start a blog,I dont even know how long I will keep this going, just wanted to have something to remind me of these times before I go back to work (booooooo!)
