Some news - Drum Roll please

Hello!

I am sorry for being a couple of days late. I didn’t even realise what the date was until I had to fill some forms out at work. Lame but true.

So as you know I entered the Big John competition for various reasons. Lose weight, gain confidence, blah blah. It is fair to say that during the course of the challenge I achieved most things that I said I would do when first chosen.

I can now proudly tell you all that during the week I had my 12 week ultra sound as I am pregnant! I have known for two months now and it has been killing me keeping such a secret and in fact have now achieved everything I said (and hoped I would).

My exercise routine has completely disappeared as I struggled to even wake up for work every morning and then fell asleep in the evenings. While I have not been terribly sick I have just never felt tiredness like this before. I have put on some weight however recognise that being overweight is not good for myself or the baby so try my best to eat healthy however I have been eating a lot of ice cream.

I am not sure if I will continue with the blog this year however will post every now and then.

In closing it is so great to know that I was in a healthy enough place to be able to conceive considering that I never thought that I would and everything from here is in god’s hands – what will be, will be.

Congratulations Michelle to you and your husband. I am sure all your blogger fans will be delighted for you, as I am .. your greatest achievement yet!!! Why not keep the blog going for young Mums like yourself, who have overcome different problems and become pregnant. Treat it like a diary and share your thoughts with other pregnant Mums. It would be a shame to let your talents go to waste. I am sure you do not realise how interesting your blogs are and how much people look forward to them. Your blogs have no frills (pictures etc) yet everyone loves to read them. I guess its up to you if you continue the blog or not, but I know a lot of people will miss you.
I wish you much happiness, good health and a wonderful pregnancy. I feel privileged to have shared your journey with the weight loss challenge, so I thank you. I also thank you for introducing me to a wonderful email friend (FGM). All the best and take care.

Congratulations Mama Shell and Mr Pooks!
I absolutely agree with Alison and Ann - in your very down to earth and humble way, you don't realise what a good writer you are and how entertaining your blog is. We would love you to share this new exciting journey via your blog and this part of the journey is definitely a 'Team Shell' adventure.

Stay healthy and try and keep the swimming going.
I for one will keep checking the blog in the hope you share some snippets of your journey - even if it's just how many Zs you are 'indulging' in.
Hmm better get the knitting needles clicking!
