Letter to my Baby – Gestational Age 28 Weeks

Dear Baby Well, this week your klutz of a mother did it again. I tripped over a curb and almost landed on you.  Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, because I don’t think I actually got anywhere close to you, since I landed very hard on my knee.  And then a few days later [...]

Earth Hour – What Crock of Sh**

This rant is copied directly from something I already posted on Mumsnet, with a few modifications.  Just in case it looks familiar to anyone! So people tell me Earth Hour was ‘a statement’. But the statement is useless. As are our attempts to ‘save the planet’. The planet will be here long after we’re all [...]

Superklutz Strikes Again!!

This time I managed to slop red sauce out of the pot of meatballs onto my bump.  Not too bad of a burn, luckily, mostly scared me and Simon.  Lots of splashing of water occurred! Simon is buying me an apron today.  Kinda like lock the barn after the cow, but maybe it will prevent [...]

Shoe Shopping Was a Success!!

Got these and this.  Not the most sexy shoes I’ve ever bought, but they are comfy! The interesting part was that my feet have gone up a size.  I knew this could happen during pregnancy, but all my old shoes still fit, so I’m a bit perplexed! And today was a really good customer service [...]

*sigh* I Hate Being Stuck at Home, Waiting on a Delivery

So much for them being here first thing, since its now 11:30.  Its a dishwasher basket I ordered for the top rack of our dishwasher for nipples and sippy cup valves and the like.  I am really not impressed with City Link, by the way, if anyone in the UK is thinking about using them [...]

I Did It Again

I tripped over a curb and skinned my right knee again.  At work.  On my way to lunch. It really hurts.  I think the baby liked it though as I got a pretty good kick not too long after! I think its these shoes, because I was wearing the same ones last time I tripped.  [...]

As Mentioned Yesterday

I am officially in the 3rd trimester!  And I was told to upload a belly pic or else!! (not really.  Just asked for one!) I am wearing the dress that was marked £45 and rang up half price.  And the over sweater that my brother and sister in law sent me for Christmas.  I was [...]

So, Back to Work Today

And I’m wrecked.  Bad night’s sleep didn’t help at.all. A good friend of mine had her baby yesterday.  A girl.  9lbs 3 oz.  Only 2 hours of labour.  I wish! Weather has turned nasty.  Hail, rain, cold. Brrrrr. So much for Spring.

Happy Mother’s Day UK Mums!

Even I got a card and a little teddy bear! And I’m not even really a mum yet! Simon’s parents are here and we went out to dinner last night.  It was to celebrate Simon’s birthday, Simon’s Mum’s birthday and Mother’s Day!  A good meal was had by all. Today will be another quiet Sunday, [...]
