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.

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
