A little of everything!
Well, WI this morning was awful. I've gained 1 1/2lbs since last week. I knew I hadn't lost, but gained?!?! wtf?!? :cry::cry:
I haven't done anything different this week. After my loss last week I really thought I'd cracked it, now I'm really on the verge of throwing in the towel.
So I went on to work and had a little cry in the toilets.:sigh:
THEN....I got a phone call from my best friend who had her 21 week scan today. She was in floods of tears. The baby has an extra digit on one foot, and may have an extra finger on each hand too (bubs wasn't cooperating with the sonographer!) There may also be a problem with it's kidney function. She has to go for an emergency scan next Tuesday to our regional hospital (not our local one!) to have a more in-depth scan so they know better what they're dealing with.
I'm gutted for her. She has 2 girls, and this one was a surprise (she's an 'older' mum) and she is terrified there'll be something more serious than an extra finger or toe show up (if that makes sense? Thats pretty bad, but can be 'fixed' if necessary? She's terrified its a sign theres an underlying cause like downs or something.
So that put my weight woes into perspective for a bit.:wave_cry:
