Hey girls,

God you lot talk some when Im gone for 5 minutes...... lol

Maybe - what are you doing for your OH's birthday? I had a gorgeous roast med vegetables and chicken meal last night. I swear it was amazing. My speciality is stuffed chicken breast with mozzeralla and tomato& garlic sauce with sauted potatoes. Im starving and could eat that now!!!

As for aches and pains, I knw how you all feel. Sarah - I cant breath either hun

The kicks are so bad at the minute. Really low. I am convinced she is trying to get out early. Pretty much constant BH unless IM sitting down. Some painful ones too. OH needs to get the room done fast or we could be in trouble!!

Right, off for tea.

Hope all is well everyone????????

TTFN xxxxxxxx

ps.........ooooooooooo,.........doughnuts..............

 

[shelleylu]

ooo, forgot to mention,

We got our baby monitor today. I won it on ebay!! One of those angelcare ones. I wanted one, but wasnt prepared to pay £70. I won mine for £30 - bargain!

I also ordered a birthing ball as the lady at the NCT class couldnt stress how good they were - and they are so comfy!!

I also got my nappy wrapper from amazon for £7.50 with free delivery and applied to become a boots mum to be and got me a voucher for a free change bag worth £30!

Talk about bargains hey girls?!!

xx

get u shelly, bargins gallor i might have a look me self, I have no idea what I am gonna cook him can u forward me that recipie and Ill have a look and see. I want to do something specail cos he been pulling out all the stops latly

 

[shelleylu]

I know I am a bargain go-getter! You gotta be when the pennies are limited I gues...

I thought I'd post the reciepe here incase anyone else wants a look - its nice healthy food girls! - best served with choc cake afterwards to cancel it out though....

You need chicken breast, fresh mozzeralla, smoked streaked bacon, and a good tomoato and garlic sauce - Homemade or jar of(easiest!!! - Lloyd grossman does a good one)

SLice chicken down the side, and stuff with mozeralla. Wrap the chicken up in the bacon and pop into an oven proof pot. Pour the sauce around the chicken, and top with sundried tomatoes. If you make your own sauce, use the tinned baby plum tomatoes - they are luuuuuuuuurvly..

Saute pots by slicing them (like scallops) and pan frying them in olive oil until soft. Leave in the pan until crispy and then transfer to the oven. They take a while but be patient, they are worth it.

Serve with fresh green veg - I like broccolli (sp?) with it

Very simple, quick and cheap and it is super lovely. Hope you like it if you try itxx

 

[godivalocks]

Shelley, that food sounds so good. Mmmm.

As far as getting stuff, right now it may just be a crib and the bedding, on top of the clothes I inherited. Then there's the mandatory car seat, and obviously diapers and wipes.

Anything else I will get as I find I need it.

 

[maybethistime]

[shelleylu]

Hey girls,

Glad all ok Gem. SPD is shocking. Mine is bad today. Feels like there is a bowling ball inbetween my legs... nice...

Think its cause i slept badly last night. William woke me up at 2am with a high temperture. I brought it down after a long time... Meant I missed 2 hours sleep though. He went to school ok this morning as he seemed much better, but the school called at noon to say he was bad and come and get him. Luckily meant I got out of work early as Im shattered!

SJK - bet your pics are lovely hun, make sure you post it when you can x

Right, Im hitting the sofa for a bit. Nice cuppa and a magazine is in order I think.

TTFN xxx

 

[geogem]

HOORAY FOR THE WEEKEND!!! I have had enough of work this week!! 19 days left at work now not long - think positive!!

 

[godivalocks]

I find the weekends to be quite boring.

I probably should try cleaning the house this weekend. It's whether I can get up the motivation to do so.

 

[geogem]

Oh girls forgot to tell you!!

Got a letter from the HIP grant people!! they said they cant pay my grant because my midwife signed my form too early!! which is a total lie - she signed it on the 3rd april when I was 25 weeks. I called them today for them to tell me after 25 mins on the phone that it was their cock up and they would sort it out - if I dont hear anything within a month to call them!! Are they just trying to delay paying this thing or what? bloody useless crappy government!!

 

[maybethistime]

aww gem loads of people have had this prob if they can caluclate it shows u are clearly over 25 weeks not dont make any bloody sence the twats.

yay I did my assinment whop whop only a little left then revision for 2 exams owcie

 

[Twiglet]

Urgh Gem poor you! Hope it gets sorted!

Well ladies scan today was awesome!! She's not measuring 3 weeks behind...more like a week ahead head down and everything. Placenta's moved up and we even got a free picture of her in 4D she's gorgeoussss! She looks like Liam but has my cheeks and she's a cheeky girl. She hid her face as the woman kept trying to take pictures of her. Hehe. Eventually got one though. She was sucking her thumb and playing with her toes...it was amazing

Liam went a bit pale when the 4D part came (we only ordered a 2D one) but he said it was amazing will upload the picture in a bit

[Sarah+]

Oh, Twiglet! That's fantastic news! You must feel so much better and what a great photo! I'd make a point of telling that midwife she was out by a full 4 weeks. She shouldn't be allowed to scare people like that.

Sorry about your dramas Gem

My boobs have started aching on the sides.... wondering what this means. I live in fear of leakage!

Wishing everyone a great weekend
