Oh no I think I have a cold coming😷 just hope I don't give it to Amber. Time to dose up on sugar!!

@soheb I've figured out what is weird about Mast, is there anyway on the home screen to change it so we just see initial posts? Not replies or threads? 🤔

ClairTheGinger, 4 days ago to random

One thing I always get stuck on when eating with #PKU is remembering to eat and remembering what I actually have in my cupboards!

So I have my fruit and snack bowls, all filled either prescription snacks, less than half a gram or completely protein free snacks, so I'm less likely to go for the snacks that are more interesting but heavier in protein (yoghurt, crisps etc)

None of the pubs/bars would play my request last night, apparently Tarantula by Pendulum is "too heavy" 🙄

I've crocheted myself a pouch to put my microtabs in!

With added bonus of making myself a little counter so I can keep track of what tablets I'm on in the day. 💊⏰

Watched #mammals yesterday.

DA🧓: The sperm whales used to be hunted nearly to extinction

Whales🐋:😭💀

🧓: but then whaling for their oil was banned world wide

🐋:🥳

🧓: their numbers have gone from hundreds to nearly 35,000

🐋:🎉🎊🎉

🧓: but this mean orcas have adapted a new ways of hunting their calf as their prey, seperating them from their parents to drown and eat them.

🐋: OH FFS, GIVE US A BREAK!

Today on 'why am I doing this to myself' I'm making myself a pouch for my tablets, using double #crochet stitch and two different colours for the chequered pattern!

I'M FINALLY BACK ON THE MICROTABS! 🎉🎉🎉

This feels like the end of a very long, hard nearly 3 year journey (started pre-contraception diet in 2021!) but I'm so damn proud of myself for getting through it, and to come out the otherside with a beautiful, happy and healthy baby.

No more carrying around extra water, powder everywhere, bag explosions, spilling on carpet, feeling sick from being too full, midnight forcing to get last one in, but just most importantly NO MORE DRINKS! 🥺

You know you've got #PKU when the souvenir your mums gets you from going to America is full fat Dr Pepper 😂

(Fun fact, all Dr Pepper in the UK, both 'normal' and Zero contain Aspartame, which makes you wonder why they bother with Zero??)

ClairTheGinger, 1 month ago to ADHD

Been on #ADHD medication for 2 months now and it's such a relief. It's of course not a cure but just means I can finally wade through my brain of non-stop thoughts and press pause once and a while!

Been watching #SortYourLifeOut it's soo motivating to go through the doom piles!

I love how gentle and non-judgmental the programme is towards the families, not the Channel 4 "benefit street" drama and laughing at them.

Getting bored of X, let's give this another go!

Realised I haven't updated since I was pregnant, yes I did have the baby 😂❤️

Amber was born 7.12 (41+3 days!)

I've made a full recovery from birth and she's very healthy, the happiest baby in the world and confirmed to NOT have #PKU

I never thought having a baby could be so much fun until having her, it's terrifying at times but I just love my little family so much ❤️
