Having a "come down" :o(

I'm feeling a bit down today.

I've not had a brilliant day at work. It was nice working with Sarah and chatting to Elaine but the rest just gets me down. And I've been so tired and achey today, made all the worse by my wellies splitting, my pumps not fitting comfortably over my poorly toe, and having to plod round the site in my high boots on account of them being the warmest and most comfortable thing left. And in truth they were neither warm nor comfortable by the end of the day. I'll be buying some new ones on Tuesday.

But the main thing is that I had built myself up for the scan so much.... and now (brilliant though it was) it's over and done. I wont see Squiggle again until the birth which still seems like such a long way off (19 weeks to go from tomorrow).

I know I have other things to look forward too. Squiggle-wise I have: finishing work next week, being Viable at 24 weeks, moving into 3rd Tri at 27 weeks, baby shopping etc. I can also book in for a heartbeat sound scan at some point - which I haven't done yet because of the weather and things.

We're also meeting my mother-in-law tomorrow at my mums. She's bringing over the pram so I can play with that for a while too, and my oioi bag is being posted this weekend so I should have that too and I can start play packing / pre packing my hospital bag (sounds odd, but it's a mum-to-be olympic sport).

The next big thing though, is that it is less than 2 months to Jack's birthday and I have been planning what to buy him and wondering what we'll actually do for his birthday.

Maybe I am just tired. I might have a nice long sleep on Sunday.... We've nothing planned and I really need to recharge my batteries for my last week at work. Maybe a bit of me time, of pampering myself with a long warm bath, good book and no phones, will make me feel better.

Here's hoping!

aww I know what you mean about not getting to see the baby again, it seems like the first scan and the second scan are really close together then nothing! I was tempted to go for a 4d scan just so i could see Lils again but i get freaked out by the blobby quished alien heads, sorry you are having such a rough time at work I know it all feels about 100 times worse when you are pregnant xhugsx

So tempted to get a 4D too, but yeah. Sometimes those pics just aren't flattering!

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
