I'm so hungry. Like, seriously hungry. I don't know how much longer I can keep up with this vegan diet. It's at a point where I'm convinced I can feel myself fading away slowly. On the upside, it does appear to be working. At the weekend we ended up having dinner with the in-laws but didn't contact ahead concerning the fact I was meat & dairy free. It was so good to eat meat properly again but painkillers were necessary. Later on that night, my Mum was ordering Chinese food so I decided I fancied some pancake rolls. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that there was meat in said pancake rolls. Cue me laying in the bath, rolling around like a harpooned whale in distress in tears, regretting ever eating those damn rolls. This thankfully is the last week of my elimination diet so hopefully we can get somewhere with the doctors. Never thought I'd be so excited to visit the GP!! I think I'll celebrate with a steak & a chocolate gateau!!
But no chocolate & steak tonight. Instead it's apples & oranges, cross stitch & telly. Old before my time? Possibly. But at least I'm at least halfway to happy.
This past few days since my last posting have been pretty non-eventful if I'm honest. Apart for some nice-ish weather on Friday, it's been pretty dull. Although I finally got a chance to take Ollie out in the sling properly on my back. The weathers always so miserable that we're wearing so many layers, I'd need a wrap 2 sizes bigger to be able to wrap us both together!!! It was strange though to see just how rare babywearing is in this area. People either looked totally confused or seemed really surprised & awed by it. The unfortunate thing is though, I kinda feel like I stick out like a sore thumb & for an anxiety sufferer that's not the most comfortable of situations. But the act of carrying in the sling itself is so awesome, I really have to do it more often. Ollie really seemed to enjoy the nursery run from a different perspective plus he was so happy snuggling into my back enjoying the sunshine. In fact, he was so happy, he wouldn't even accept the chocolate buttons I was trying to hand him over my shoulder. Definitely going to make a bigger effort when it comes to carrying when (IF) the weather brightens up in the summer.
My mission before then is to buy myself a longer wrap & practise as many carries as possible so I can be a babywearing goddess in the summer, wearing nothing but a bikini & a toddler on my back. Probably look more like a pork roast with the strings done up too tight but in my head I'll totally look like a supermodel!!
No use thinking of sunshine though as unfortunately we have yet another week of rain ahead of us. All the outdoor activities I've been hoarding on Pinterest are bloody pointless now I'm back to square one trying to come up with some fabulous ideas of indoor activities to keep the monsters occupied. Wish me luck!!
