Nasty ear infection :(


I had my midwife appointment yesterday. I also had a doctors appointment. Because I'm ill. Again.
This time I have a nasty ear infection, and a clogged sinus. This has meant that my face felt like it was being ripped open with jagged glass for the last 3-4 days, while also feeling like someone was hammering a blunt pencil into my ear. I was actually reduced to tears by the pain on 3 occasions. I haven't been able to sleep and I have taken way more paracetamol than I should have. All this just as I came out of yet another lot of D&V (3rd this preg).
Anyway.... it's all good news now. I have antibiotics for my ear, and my latest water infection, and I am starting to feel better (if still deaf and dizzy). Smudge is doing fine - I got to hear baby's heart beat again - and today is only 9 weeks to my due date :o)
My only real concern today is trying to occupy Jack & Tom who seem to be suffering from cabin fever but it's seriously icy out there and I have no sence of balance right now. There is no way I can handle two crazy boys, out on the ice, while unsteady on my on my feet, AND pregnant..... Gonna be a hard day!

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
