PAL Winter Babies 2010/11 - ** Waiting impatiently for our remaining babies! **

[MadamRose]

Yes i had that probelm with hayfever i was so glad when i was told by the doctor there is stuff i can take for it. As it was making it hard for me to breath.
I can't beleive how quickly this scan is coming round again, well i did only have a 7 day wait lol.
I can't beleive ive broken the half way mark either, i dont know why but it seems so strange.
Hope everyone and their baby's are doing well

I have just eaten fish again for the 1st time in 17 yrs - have been veggie since I was 15 - going to eat fish for a year to get the extra protein - my oh made a lovely brocoli and salmon bake - he's lovely

 

[lolly25]

I love salmon its gorgeous x

 

[hb1]

it was nice - strange after so much time - salmon was a good fish to start off with - principles are out of the water - I want this bean to stick!!!!

 

[hannah76]

i love salmon!! i have a yummy recipe for salmon cakes with dill sauce i can send you if you want uses canned salmon so cheap and yummy!

 

[hekate]

hb1 - there are plenty of ways to meet you protein intake on a vegetarian diet....chickpeas, tofu, baked beans are particularly high in protein

[hb1]

Yes please Hannah that would be lovely.

I think I will try and have 1-2 portions of fish a week - it has been a hard step to take to go pesketarian for a bit - don't think it will be a permenant change tho. Other days will still be getting protein from lentil dishes, eggs etc ( have never had tofu and liked it!! ).

[hb1]

[TripleB]

Thanks Hannah - nom nom nom!

Happy 6 weeks to Triple and hb1 - your m/c risk has now dropped substantially girls. Hugs all round!

Really?! Well that rocks! Me too hb1 - scared but can't help but be excited! I've felt like crap today, thought I was going to vomit at lunchtime so had a nap to stave it off. DH went out for the day and I couldn't bring myself to go - knew there would be drinking and really didn't feel like it. Had the in-laws around for a BBQ this evening and pretty sure my MIL has rumbled me although she didn't say anything. Roll on 2 weeks so I can get that scan out of the way and tell close family! xxx

 

[hannah76]

tripleB - what does "rumbled me" mean??

hb1 and triple B, congrats on 6 weeks!

anyone else feel like they're back is really weak? i keep hurting it doing usual things like cleaning or gardening... so annoying!!

 

[Tulip]

Haha to be rumbled is to be found out It appears that Louise's MIL suspects a pregnancy

Yeah lou I think it drops to 6% at 6 weeks, then 3% when you see that early hb, then 1% at 12 weeks. Whoop!

 

[TripleB]

Haha, thanks for clarifying Nic, I can imagine "rumbled me" might sound quite strange if you don't use that phrase Hannah! So a weak back is the next thing to look forward to, hope you didn't hurt yourself. My nausea is really kicking in now and I'm so tired. If only I could stay in bed today... oh well, off to work. xxx

 

[tinybutterfly]

nomnomnom hannah!!!!

ehm... what are "shortenings"? is there another word for it?
if not, can somebody describe what it does, then i'll probably know what i have to look for in our store hehe

 

[MadamRose]

My scan is in 3 days time, any ideas on how i can make sure baby is moving this time?

 

[lolly25]

hi all,
Hannah i know the feeling, i was washing the dishes last night and my back was in agnony!!
Not to sure Due on the movement front, maybe eating ice or drinking a cold drink just before my make baby move x

 

[hannah76]

ok lolly... good thing i'm not alone here! even walking too far makes my lower back ache!

tulip and tripleB, to me a rumble is a fight! before a pro-wrestling match they say "let's get ready to ruuuuuummmmmmblllllllle!!!"

butterfly, shortening is vegetable fat.. like lard, but not from a pig but from veggies its like a white block of tasteless vegetable fat. brand name for it is crisco? you can google how to substitute marjarine for it because i know its not interchangeable. shortening is dryer than marj. good luck!

tried walking the dog today but its toooooo hot... fingers got all swollen and i felt like i was going to die!
