Bumpdate @ 16 Weeks


FINALLY FEELING BETTER!


Oooooh! I feel so much better this week! I am finally, comfortably, settled into the second  trimester. I've not been sick now for almost a week! I am peeing for Britain though, hahaha!

And I seem to have myself a wee BUMP! At last! And it is a bump I think rather than just being fatter. I am still keeping an eye on what I'm eating. Up until this weekend my normal jeans and trousers have all fit perfectly well, now they are just a little bit tight. I can wear them through the day but by evening I need to get changed into something loose. But my belly above my trousers is defiantly popping out a bit! I have a nice, neat, round pot belly! Looks lovely in my maternity wear... I'll start thinking about posting bump pics in the next few weeks.

I still have not heard from the hospital about my consultants appointment though. Now I'm 16 weeks I should have had the appointment.  I'm due at the midwife again tomorrow and should have seen the consultant before I see the MW again but never mind. I'm sure she'll chase the hospital up for me!

Here's what Fertility Friend says about baby this week:
Your baby now weighs more than the surrounding placenta. She measures about 4.4 to 4.8 inches (about 11 to 12cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 3.5 ounces (100g). She is positioned halfway between your pubic bone and your navel. Fat, which is important for your baby's metabolism and heat production is beginning to form around this time. The placenta, which will weigh more than a pound at full term, is also developing rapidly. It is now a large and well-established network of blood vessels responsible for exchanging nutrients and waste to support your baby.
Heartbeat tomorrow! YAY!!




Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too.

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
