Feeling ill again

Don't know what's up with me these days. It seems like I'm poorly most of the time! This morning I woke up with a stinking headache and ear ache. I feel sluggish and generally achy but I have assumed that at least is normal. But driving Yorkie to work this morning I started to feel really sick too and called in sick to work. Sure enough, within 10 mins of walking back into the house I was being sick! Bye bye breakfast.

My eyes are sore too, and it feels like I've had no sleep when in fact I have slept very well this last couple of nights.

We do have a midwife appointment on Thursday though so I can run through any worries when I see her then. We'll probably be told that this is all normal etc and that I am worrying about nothing. I'm just so tired and sickly. Not to mention the endless hiccups, acid and general difficulty just moving about!

At least the Wiggle Bump seems to be ok. Still getting loads of movement, and I am being kept to a strict routine - I wake up at about 12am, 3.30 am and 6.45 am for a pee every night (just in time for the alarm to go off at 7am so I don't get jolted awake) even though getting in and out of bed is a real struggle and leaves me out of breath. If I haven't eaten by 8am I fell sick. I'm getting bigger and bigger and bigger... I keep catching sight of myself in the mirror and getting a hell of a shock! My legs are not the slimmest, but I still look like an orange resting on cocktail sticks! Or maybe a very large pear...

We've discovered that when Wiggle is giving me the most grief (i.e. kicking me until it really hurts) letting Yorkie talk to my belly calms the baba right down. Wiggle squirms over to where his voice is and goes fairly still, as though listening intently to dads voice. Not the kicking in the face we were expecting, but no complaints here! And I think I know who will be on lullaby duty (Yorkie has a better singing voice than me anyway).

Hello CB

Sorry to hear you are not feeling too well, if its any consolation most of what you describe my sister also went through.

I have replied to your email. My computer had a bit of a funny fit when I clicked send so if you have not received it let me know and I will try again.

Take care.
B.W.

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
