1 DPO Today (15th Sept) anyone want to share the 2WW with me?

[jojosmami]

That's my life story Toots! My mom always said " If your gonna do something, don't do it half assed!" Guess I listened! I wish I could take a nap! Too much to do. My crazy ass just signed up for a bake sale at my sons school for science fair night, have his fall party tomorrow where I'll be face painting them as mice so gotta get ready for that, and start practicing painting them so I get the image right before tomorrow! Plus don't stop cause I need some . But, that's what being a mommy is all about right!! Just thankful that besides being so sleepy I'm feeling pretty good. Trying to force myself to eat a bowl of oatmeal now to get something in my tummy but really not hungry. I was a vegetarian most of both my pregnancies. THe other night when I was getting with the smell of chicken my DH made a comment like " Yep, its official, your preggo and there goes the good dinners!" He offered to learn how to cook the meat so I didn't have to but after many nights of me having to sit outside all night or while him and my son were eating, most nights it was vegetarian. I bet you have great recipes! WOuldn't mind you throwing some my way!

 

[Toots3495]

I'll dig some good ones out for you Jojo. Face painting will be fun, are you quite artistic?

 

[jojosmami]

Yea in a crafty, creative way. I'm not great and drawing or painting but I'm really good at crafts, decorating,face painting, scrapbooking, I really fancy decorating cakes, I'm always baking, making candy, things like that. Anything that lets me be "free" with my creativity. I'm not good with rules

 

[Toots3495]

Bit like me then. One of my favourite things to do is bake. Trouble is my oh says Im making him put on weight with all the cakes
I take it you have to bake a cake to be sold at the bake sale? Don't think we have things like that here.

 

[jojosmami]

Yea, you bake anything and it doesn't have to be sweet. Anything you can sell individually like little homemade pizza, breads,cookies,muffins, cupcakes,candies etc. It rasies money for the school. If I was a normal person and could just bake some cookies it wouldn't be bad but I always have to try and out shine everyone else

Jojo, recipe for vegtable cassoulet (serves 4)
Ingredients:
8oz tinned or dried harricott beans or use tin of baked beans (ie Heinz)
2 medium onions
1 bay leaf
2 1/2 pints cold water
1 1/4 large potatos cut into inch slices
salt & pepper
olive oil
1 Large garlic
2 leeks sliced
200g can of tomatos
parsley and thyme ( i use dried)
1 tsp dark sugar
3 corgettes
For the topping: 2oz breadcrumbs and 1g grated cheese
Peel 1 onion & boil in water with bay leaf for 10mins (keep the water when finished)
Cook potatos in salted boiling water till almost tender then drain.
Chop remaining onion & put in frying pan along with garlic and leeks, cook till soft.
Stit in the tomatos, sugar & parsley & thyme and add the water from when boiling the onion. Simmer for 5 mins. Add the beans.
Put in an oven proof dish. Layer potatos and corgettes (i think you call them zucini in the states?) Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese and put on top.
Cook for about 40 mins. I think you could probably put the potatos and corgettes either on the bottom or top.
Mix together breadcrumbs and cheese, put it on top

[jojosmami]

Is heart burn normal for you? That was one of my biggest signs! That and the cramping!

 

[Frankie]

Deffo not normal for me but maybe ive just eaten something bad or i hope il be pleasantly suprised

 

[Toots3495]

Thinking about it jojo with the recipe I've posted it's probably better to put the pots and corgettes on the top rather than the bottom.

Well last night I went to bed at half 8 absolutely shattered and feeling yuck!! Well I tossed and turned again but did get at least 2x 5hr slots so felt 100% better than yesterday... Now everytime I woke up I felt really sick but didn't vomit, today my temp is up again now at 37.4, I cooked chicken Kiev for tea and guess what vomitted!!! Disgusting tasted like metal had to bin it.. Very constipated and what I'd describe as almost shiny creamy cm??

[Starchase]

Oh toots I hope so the only thing that is worrying me is no sore boobs with my little man they were eye wateringly sore but I didn't find out I was pg till about 7 wks so I'm actually thinking that I must have felt normal and the boobs came later?? So maybe...,

Hope to god it's not negative..., PMA PMA PMA xxx

 

[Toots3495]

I might have to eat my hat if you're not pregnant I didn't regret saying that to jojo so i'm positive I won't regret it with you!! You're symptoms sound spot on
Are you feeling a bit more upbeat after a down day yesterday?
Beth, how are you getting on? Any change?

 

[Frankie]

The heartnburn I remember from 1st time round so im hoping its the same but with not having a proper period to go by since coming off I cant be sure roll on Monday

 

[Starchase]

That is hilarious toots, the first time I was pregnant my best friend said to me if you are pregnant I'll eat my hat (she never did thou) thats a bit freaky really the scary thing is that I fell pregnant this cycle 5 years ago!! xxx
