Mostly you all have eaten so healthy! I've had a bad food day, but I'll be honest and tell what I've eaten I guess...
Bowl of Cocoa Puffs cereal (I'm totally a kids cereal girl! lol)
Lean Pocket
Lasagna
Garlic Bread
AND 3 doughnuts!!!
Had to stop near the doughnut shop after work to pick something up, and couldn't resist getting a few doughnuts to take home. It sounds even worse all written out like that! I've gotta do better tomorrow!

Morning all,

I've woken up today with a red eye - yuk! I hope I'm not getting conjunctivitis! I did put quite a lot of face cream on last night so I'm hoping that maybe some of it got in my eye in the night!

Not got too much to say today, Mark and I have spent quite a bit of time together over the last few days/week and he was just starting to get on my nerves a little last night. I'm so used to having evenings to myself now, its funny having another person to please. Not that I don't love him massively! Anyway he's back working 5 days straight till 10pm each evening - poor thing!

Last night after my tea I felt so bloated and uncomfy, I think its gettig harder to fit my tea in me! Maybe I should try eating smaller meals, but more often. I was in a right sulk!

Hope everyone else is ok. Will post my food list up later at the end of the day. I did have a few squares of chocolate last night, but that was it!

Morning girls. I shall start with yesterdays food seeing as were doing a run down lol.

Breakfast was pecan and maple crunch with a decaf coffee.
Lunch was topside beef sandwich in brown with mustard and a packet of McCoys crisps!
Dinner was gammon, new potatoes in garlic and a side salad
Dessert: Millionaires ice cream bar!

Supper sadly was 4 krackerwheat with philli and caviar
and I drank 3 pints of water, 1 pint of dilute juice and half a glass of 7 up yesterday too

I really dont care about what Im eating and I should. I have salad or fruit every single day and I drink lots of water with a varied diet


Today: Ive woken up on a down (again, Im sick of it). Pete is on a course all day and Im fed up of not working, sitting on my bottom all day long, no money and no one to talk to. Im going stir crazy. Everything Pete says lately, I take as sarcasm or him 'being funny' with me like Im a joke. I sat down when he'd gone out and sobbed. My friend Aimee says its hormones for sure as she had it when she was expecting Kit. I just cant shake it. I keep thinking my life should be so different

 

[xheartsx]

Hey Han. I know what you mean about spending too much time with your OH. He's my best friend too so we are together alll the time. He's working this weekend though so i'm quite looking forward to some time by myself. Think i will have a pamper session!

Rachel, i'm absolutely dreading when i am made redundant at the end of July. I know i will enjoy it for a couple of weeks, but the not working and having nobody to talk to will drive me mad and make me miserable too. We'll just have to keep each other company!

Sunshine - i LOVE donuts xx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Hearts, its mind numbing boredom. I cant bare it. Even after a cleaning session, I sit down and think OMG I have nothing, not a damn thing to do now. I either watch TV, downloads or sit on here which cant be healthy. November, HURRY UP so I can have baby to keep me busy! (I shall regret saying that when I have no sleep etc) !

 

[Rees]

Attempting to catch up and reading all you nattering about food and cheese is making me feel a wee bit peaky

OH likes Game of Thrones, I've watched a few eps but I've not been into it like he is, he can't wait for the next series, he's been reading the book too!

Han - you do have a strange taste in men

The FB group is def a good idea, I'm Leigh

BabyDeacon - That's a lovely dress and a lovely bump

Sunshine - the power cut sounds awful at least it seems like you had a nice weekend, I'd have hit my OH if he forgot my birthday, although he never will seeings as it's the day after his!

OMG, Tegan just came up and poked me in the boob and toddled off again! She's making some strange noises at Mickey Mouse Clubhouse this morning!

On the subject of lady bits, I've not done that in ohhhhh, months, maybe a year? I used to do it religiously, but Luke is like an ape, or rather a silverback gorilla So if he doesn't bother then I don't see why I should I was doing it all when I was pregnant with Tegs up until I couldn't reach anymore, and once I gave birth and it was all messy down there and I realised that the MW's didn't care then nor did I! If Luke was to ask me to do it I'd maybe consider it but possibly not

This is yesterday's food diary, it's BAD.....

1 slice of nutella on toast,
2x mini cheddars crinkles crisps
1x roysters crisps
2 chicken and mushroom slices (Iceland)
Many mints (from a mint favourite bag - mainly murray mints and butter mints)
Chips and gravy, although I could only stomach half
Tuna sandwich
Packet of fruitella

I was working for 13 hours and feeling rough as hell yesterday, so it's not too bad considering I was at work and we were so bloody bored!

Rach, have you thought about volunteering just to get out of the house and doing something?

Han - I think that was why me and Luke had such a blazing row over the weekend (we had a mahoosive one on Sunday where I started to pack and made my mum cry - went through it all last time with Tegs too!) I had a week off and just saw him constantly and he was being an annoying little toerag! I do love him but somedays he just needs a massive slap. Bloody men....


Right, I'm all caught up now Has taken me a while I'd better go and get dressed and think about going out for lunch (definately having a BMT at subway now )

 

[Rees]

Ooooh, we've not downloaded True Blood yet, is the new series any good? (obviously it's gonna be )

 

[Cherrybinky]

ohhh dont get me started on True Blood! The first ep was SHITE and confusing but the second ep was WHOOOOA amazing. Theres loads of things going on now, its wicked!

Im on the volunteering thing as I type!

X

 

[pink sparkle]

Hey ladies, Rees great idea about the volunteering, Rach do you have a fave second hand shop you could offer your services to for a few hours a week? I think you would have fun x

Lady gardens, i try and keep trim hard when you cant see what your doing, oh would freak if i stopped tending to it lol! When i was really heavily pregnant with ds i got him to do it a few times sorry tmi!!! xxx

 

[xheartsx]

Haha pink i don't think i would trust my OH to do my ladygarden! Or even my legs! I think it would be dangerous...

I've had a rotten day. I'm full of the cold and my throat is so sore, and all i've had today is customers moaning at me about stuff that's out of my control! Half an hour and i can go home thank goodness.

Hope you've all had a better day than me!

xx

 

[Rees]

hope you're cold goes soon hearts

Found a link on twitter that's about the best books to pass down to your children (on the Parenting magazine's website, think it's the US version) https://www.parenting.com/gallery/books-to-pass-down-to-kids

But I think some of the books on it are rather interesting, like, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, I would love for Tegan to read this one day, I had to read in in English in school and I thought it was a good book. Then on the list there's 'Are you there God? It's me Margaret" by Judy Blume and I suddenly rememberd how much I LOVE Judy Blume and I devoured her books when I was younger, the same goes for Paula Danziger and all of her amazing books (There's a Bat in Bunk 5, The cat ate my gymsuit, Thames doesn't rhyme with James etc...) - I think I got some of those names right

So, what books would you encourage your children to read, or do encourage them to read?

Tegan's bedtime story is currently "A Hat Full of Sky" by Terry Pratchett, we'll read her the next 2 after it and had read her "The Wee Free Men" before.

I'm not sure what we'll read her after that, maybe I'll have to go and dig out some of my old Roald Dahl books, but that'll probably be in 6 months time as we seem to read anywhere between 3 and 6 pages a night, depending on how fast she drinks her bottle and falls asleep

I love books and Tegan has always had books, I was trying to read her The Gruffalo earlier but she was more interested in pressing the sounds along the side and trying to skip pages She must easily have somewhere between 50 and 100 books, my bookcase is all doubled up and in no order and hers are scattered all over the house I think we might have too many, lol!

 

[cranberry987]

I've ordered the little prince by anton st exubery (spelling probably wrong). It's an amazing book about how adults lose their innocence. I still read it. It's kinda a kids book but quite deep. Was in French originally. You can get it off amazon for like £2 at the moment

I actually bought some books today in saindburys as they were 3 for 2. Bought the gruffalo, some book with furry animals in (like that's not my...books) and some other book about rabbits with sparkles on.

Also my jumparoo arrived!!£50 new so total bargain from mothercare. Kinda wanna set it up but want to keep it packaged up as we won't use it til march at the earliest. It's in a hundred bits so if we set it up ita never going back in the box

Knackered from work today. Bath then bed I think

 

[Rees]

We have lots of of the "that's not my..." books, they're brilliant bought Tegan a "That's not my baby" book a few months back, it's got a mirror in the back page for when you find your baby

I LOVE jumparoo's, my mum bought one for Tegan for her first christmas and it's been put away upstairs awaiting this baby to get big enough They get dusty really quickly though, although that could just be our house seeings as it gets dusty in one day

 

[Tizy]

Evening girls,

There are so many good books, I'm not sure where to start, I'm gonna have to buy all over as Holly grew out of alot of them some time ago now! As an older child I loved, Enid Blyton - Malory Towers and Famous Five. I also loved Lord of the Rings and The Tolkein.

What is a Jumperoo? I'm so out of touch with everything!

I'm tired tonight, as I am all nights, not sure when the energy spurt in the second trimester is supposed to come!!?? Pink Sparkle you might be able to advise??

Food today:

Garlic and onion Bagel with marg
1 x toast with peanut butter

Large salad with 1 x homemade pork burger, 2 x slices of cheese, couscous, potato salad and bean salad

Melon and grapes

Large helping of chicken and bacon pasta
Ginger and chocolate biscuit

not too bad I guess.

[cranberry987]

I was never allowed to read Enid blyton. Not sure why. Think it was because of the poor role models the girl characters were, not sure rly. Never read em still to this day so dunno what they're like. My mum never let me go on school trips unless they were educational tho so she's a bit nuts like that

Have a look on YouTube for jumparoo. There's millions of clips of babies going completely nuts in one. They're kinda a static walker/bouncer thingy which is like baby crack.

Tried to eat more today. Added it up to 1200 cals... So just tipped it off with a crunchie ice-cream which has actual popping candy in!! Amazing.

 

[Cherrybinky]

My Mum read the Hobbit to me when I was about 7 years old. I was hooked from there on. My favourite books were also Enid Blyton. The Magic Far Away Tree was awesome! I don't remember reading much else although I'm sure I did.
Today I've eaten:
Pecan and maple cereal
Beef Salad with new potatoes
McCoys crisps
Scone and jam
Home made chicken curry with oven chips
Grapes
Gallons of water

I'm watching Americas Got Talent as Petes gone to visit his brother in hospital and I wasn't invited!

X

 

[Tizy]

Oooh will do Helen. Jumparoo. 1200 calories isn't much, are you sure thats enough??

Rachel, thats what I meant to say -The Hobbit!! My dad read that to me. Dumb ass pregnancy brain. I loved the Magic Faraway Tree too, they we're amazing stories!! Did you ever read Redwall about some mice who lived in a cathedral type place? I think?

Oh thats what I was gonna ask, Amy (Sunshine) what your take on epidurals then? I've been watching one born every minute USA and everyone seems to have epidurals over there, yet here we are sort of steered away from having them. i'm quite tempted as my first labour was horrid! and I'm starting to get nervous already!

Han Xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

No don't think I've heard of that one Han. I still have 3 Little Golliwogs which would be banned now but is a great book!

Who's eating 1200 calories a day? That's very very low

I'm on my BB so its hard to keep up! Lol
X

 

[cranberry987]

Have a look at the epidural thread in first tri today. Ended up in a massive slanging match lol.

I've eaten a yogurt, apple, cereal bar, cherries, omelette and salad, vegan curry thing. Also a crunchie ice-cream so 1400 cals. Rly couldn't eat any more today. Im gonna check with the mw but the only way I could get more cals in is to eat high sugar/fat stuff which I'm sure shed hate too. I did read tho that as long as you're getting enough nutrients you're fine. Will have some milk later before bed

Got my letter through for fetal ECG -July 29th. So that's two that week! Both kinda scary scans, anomaly then heart scan but I'm sure both will be fine as my bloods are great. Lower than dh after dinner even (I stuck him for comparison hehe)

I remember getting like book club books delivered every month when I was little and loved it. I got colouring books too to go with the story. Might join something similar in a few yrs. I'd probably love it more than baby tho!

 

[pink sparkle]

wow Judy Blume and Paula Danziger have just taken me back to my primary school days. Megan loves reading will have to go to the library and see what books they have that i remember from school. I remember are you there god its me margaret although i dont quite remember what happens in it. I love reading and for some reason im obsessed with novels based in the second world war with a hint of wartime romance. If there is such a thing as reincarnation i must have lived through those times!

Han i noticed that too; over here its so frowned upon to have an epi - i loved the woman on obem usa who said you wouldnt have a tooth pulled without having a shot so why have a baby without an epi! There births seemed much more calm and relaxed compared to here as well and i love the fact that you can have as many ppl with you as you want. Im thinking of having one this time as ds was back to back and it was awful and im also thinking ....last baby....never had one before...maybe i will treat myself lol! But then on the other hand i want to get home asap and wouldnt want that to make my stay any longer than necessary!
