How's it going HM? xxx

 

[hakunamatata]

No news here! Will keep you posted

 

[R_x]

Did anyone make any new year resolutions? If so how are they going?

Hopefully baby won't be much longer HM

 

[Leliana]

Nothing for me R. I never stick to resolutions and just feel guilty so I don't do them anymore. It used to be 'lose weight' but that lasted about a week. I did actually manage to lose it all a couple of years ago but started on the spur of the moment one November How about you? Have you got any?

 

[R_x]

Yeah lose weight and eat healthier etc. I've cut out fizzy drinks which I used to live on and just drinking water now
Also want to start saving hard again x

 

[Leliana]

Ooh the water one is a great idea - it's a small change that makes all the difference Good idea on the savings too - just stay away from the bargain thread!!

How's it going HM? xxx

Mild/moderate contractions began at midnight lasting about 20-30 seconds and occurring 2-3 times an hour. Hoping this is the start!

 

[Leliana]

Yay!! Exciting!! Really hope you get your vbac

 

[Jaysmummy]

Good luck HM!!!

As far as resolutions go, I've started looking after my skin more, have acne scarring from teenage years so treated myself to some No7 and Lancome and need to stick with the routine as I can see a difference already!!

Also waiting for OH to pick me up a blender so I can start making smoothies again rather than eating crap all day

6 cm & 100% effaced. I love my epidural. It was hell before.

Big rubber thingy measuring pulse and oxygen impeding my ability to type. Everything's going well.

 

[Leliana]

So exciting!! On your due date too! Hope he's delivered safe and sound honey

What kind of smoothies do you like Jaysmummy? I definitely need more fruit in my life!

 

[R_x]

I've tired to make smoothies before but was such hard work to clean the blender?

Good luck HM

[Jaysmummy]

Awwwwww congrats! He's adorable and well done on your VBAC!!!

I tend to make smoothies that have 1 or 2 fruits (banana and strawberry for example) with peanut butter, yoghurt or almond butter. Then I chuck in some porridge oats and occasionally a bit of green (spinach,kale etc) and then milk and ice

And I have a dishwasher so don't worry about cleaning it

 

[Leliana]

Congratulations HM, he is beautiful!! Well done on your vbac

Jaysmummy - that sounds so so good! Makes breakfast much more exciting!

 

[R_x]
