Hmmmm.....

I'm not sure what would make you throw up first.....the lack of lady garden manicuring, the rainbow of bruises from my twice daily heparin needles or the general cottage cheese quality of my thighs these days.

Seriously Nato!!

 

[NatoPMT]

honestly you look have no imagination. My bikini bump shot was strategically positioned in a mirror so all you could see was my actual bump which looked like a beach ball

 

[hoping:)]

Nato- I guess you would have to be gg (2 recessive green genes) in order for your green eyes to show up. I officially give up... I will hope Eloise's eyes change so we don't have to torment ourselves on how the heck she has brown eyes If you figure it out let me know

You girls are fucking hilarious!!!

Jaymie, I know you've been through this. My first pregnancy had a clot that knocked the baby out of place. It was a big clot and bled a lot. They monitored it and it kept growing. It was bigger than the baby at 10 weeks. With this pregnancy I had a much smaller clot. It was all old blood in there and it took about 2 weeks from the initial bleed of dark red blood to fully resolve. Over the next 2 weeks I had brown spotting every single day. Then one day it just stopped. A scan showed it wasn't there anymore. I hope this is the case for you. I was on full pelvic rest until it was gone. A good excuse not to have sex! LOL! (I'm starting to run out of excuses.) I'm glad you got checked again.

Nato, thanks for the lesson. I think I understand. For all that crack you do, you're pretty smart. And smartly pretty. I remember your bikini shot. You looked like a hot pregger. Beach ball indeed.

Granola was kind of invented at Woodstock in the 60's. All the hippies woke up after the first night and Wavy Gravy got on the microphone and told them they were getting served "breakfast in bed." Granted they were all on the muddy ground after a huge rain storm. Then they passed out granola to the entire crowd. It's basically just nuts, oats, and honey mixed together and cooked. It's delicious and extra good when pregnant. It's really good with yogurt. I have a fantastic recipe if anyone wants it.

Vicky when's the talk with the landlord? I won't ever ask you for a bikini shot. Promise.

Rounder.....ouch. You are getting the rough end of it, aren't you? The reflux is bad enough. Hopefully the Florida sun will make you forget all of your aches and pains.

Jen, girly vibes coming your way.

Tim texted me from work today and said "How are my girls? I love you guys!" I've simply died and gone to heaven. My father wasn't super into my mom being pregnant with me and I think he was disappointed when I came out a girl. I can't believe I have a husband who is going to gush over his daughter. I can't believe how much my life has turned around. I feel so incredibly blessed. These sappy emotions brought to you courtesy of pregnancy hormones!

 

[heart tree]

Hoping, look at you! Teacher's pet. Are you trying to get an A+ in Nato's class?

 

[Jaymes]

Thank you!

That is so sweet about your DH!

& I'd LOVE another granola recipe!

 

[heart tree]

Do you have Trader Joe's near you? I get all my nuts there as they are so cheap. But if not, you can find them anywhere. Here's the recipe:

Preheat oven to 300 F

Toss together:
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw cashews
1 cup raw whole almonds
1 cup raw sliced almonds
1 cup raw pecans
1 cup unsweetened coconut (shredded or shaved is find, just make sure it is unsweetened)
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Then mix together in a bowl:
1/3 cup Canola oil
3/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix until it is completely combined. It takes a few minutes. It will look like dark caramel.

Then mix the wet ingredients into the dry and fully integrate them.
Spread the mixture into a big pan (I use a turkey roasting pan)
Cook for 10 minutes then stir.
Cook for another 10 minutes, then stir
Cook for another 5 and remove.

Press it down, leaving a space where you can put your spatula after it cools. Let it cool completely. It will harden up. Then scrape out with a spatula.

You can substitute or eliminate nuts. You can add raisins or cranberries too. It's delicious!

 

[Jaymes]

MMMM! Sounds delish! I'll have to see what they have at whole foods, not the cheapest place to shop, but one of the only in the area unless I want to drive 30-40 minutes to TJ's. I might though!

 

[LucyJ]

Love those pregnancy hormones you are completelty allowed to be sappy. Aww bless Tim thats so lovely hes going to spoil his girsl rotten. Yum to granola Ive never made it before would love the reciepe. Oh and Im afraid to say the baby brain doesnt get any better once you've had the baby.

Jaymes so pleased to hear little one is ok plenty of rest for you girle.

Nato sorry no video yet but I will get some I promise. I remember you looking stunning.

Round yay to florida

Jen pink vibes your way

Vicky hope you get it sorted soon how are you feeling?

Afm: Ive had a shitty day we were meant to be going home to see my parents but my dad has a rotten cold and Im not feeling good so my mum was worried about me or ben catching dads cold. Decided steve had to make final decision he said no to going. Im gutted, was really looking forward to seeing them and for them to see Ben. Im very emotional as well as I kept crying poor steve. Think Ive had a virus which is why I feel so run down plus this weird period type cramping. Im proper grumpy only plus is I will see them the following weekend they will be down for my nieces birthday. Im curled up in bed on the ipad excuse the typing. Benjamins been a bit grumpy this evening as well.

 

[heart tree]

Benjamin is taking after mummy's mood! I have to agree with Steve's decision unfortunately. You need to rest. Sorry you are feeling so bad though. The granola recipe is posted above. Give it a whirl when you feel better.

Jaymie, I can't find the coconut at TJs. You might have to get that at Whole Foods. I know they have it there. But the nuts would be SUPER expensive at Whole Foods! I would make the drive to TJs.

 

[Dazed]

I have green eyes, but I have absolutely NO clue where they came from. Everyone in my family has green eyes. I can only assume it came from my mothers side since she is adopted. I kinda hope when I have a baby, it has my eyes. I need another green eyed monster in this family.

 

[NatoPMT]

i was hoping Eloise would have green eyes Dazy, but obviously she hasnt cos i keep banging on about her brown eyes.

you flatterers. I actually know how terrible i looked when i was pregnant because you might recall strangers started shouting insults at me in the street. I got called 'fatty batty' by a woman at work and a friends daughter stood there and pointed out to me every bit of my body that suggested to her i was living off chocolate. My best friend burst out laughing when she saw me and my legs looked like cooked sausages. It really wasnt my finest hour, thats how strategic my bikini shot was.

Luce, how disappointing. I do agree though, if you got more ill it wouldnt be worth it, even to see people you really miss

Hoping, yes!! spot on. i think. except green is dominant to blue so you could have green + blue and still have green eyes.

i went to an rave at Formby Point beach (next to the red squirrel reserve) in 1989 which was my woodstock moment. I remember standing on the sand dunes watching the sun come up, with hundreds of people dancing on the beach and my friend turning to me and saying 'this is woodstock'. There was no granola though

 

[heart tree]

There might not have been granola, but there was something better...red squirrels! Though I hope you didn't eat them! I still have a picture of one loaded on my phone. I will see those squirrels before I die!

I think you felt less beautiful than you actually were. Those people saying mean things were just jealous. I saw the pictures. I say you were beautiful.

 

[LucyJ]

Yep you girls are right.

Happy 18 weeks Amands

 

[VGibs]

Just a quick question ladies....so according to my cycle I am 6 days away from the witch. Ian and I engaged in some sexy times tonight and afterwards he said "are you bleeding?" sure enough there was some brownish red blood! I've never spotted mid cycle and I've never been "early" when I wasn't breastfeeding. Which has been done for 3 months. Now I'm imaging the worst! I've been under a HUGE amount of stress and I wonder if the witch can show up early due to stress? I've only ever heard of people being late from stress :S

 

[Jaymes]

Hmm, I've never heard of it, but that doesn't mean a whole lot... Could it just be an off cycle? Probably too much to ask but was he a bit more rough? I've had spotting due to that...
