****July 2018 Mummies - Tri 2****

Glad you got the ear infection treated at least! I'd take off in spite lol. Xx
 
Kind of feel like it tbh, really wanna go home my ear is so painful today!!
I have to work with headphones on (fucking impossible being deaf in one ear and in pain)
 
Well I've seen her now and she was alright.

Definite ear infection, very inflamed and ear canal is sucked in or some shit. Been given antibiotics and an ear spray.

I asked her if she knew why I kept getting these infections and she said it is pregnancy hormones. So hallelujah for that!!!! A GP here, that employs me, has admitted it is pregnancy related. So the whole place can quite simply go fuck itself if I end up being off with it because even she has admitted it is pregnancy related :D

Silver lining ;)

But yes, do not take shit like that from them! x
 
Really random question but would you use pork and apple sausages for tea that are one day out of date as in 01 feb so yesterday :roll:

If they look and smell okay and you know they've been in a good fridge at below 8c then yes and I wouldn't hesitate. If you have a temp probe, check they've gone above 74c or 80c to be super safe. If not...cook them covered in the oven at 160c for 20 minutes, then remove cover, turn up to 200c and cook until well browned. X
 
I tend to cook them til theyre pretty brown anyway:lol:
Perhaps I will cook them and just let hubby eat them, fridge says 5 degrees.
 
I wouldn't use them, but that's just me x
 
5c is 3c below the safe upper limit so absolutely perfect.
I obviously wouldn't use day over sausages at work obviously, but at home, just for us, if they look Okay, I don't worry about it.
 
GGs right they'll be fine if in a good fridge. I'm a weirdo I'd have not eaten them lol but I'm super paranoid about food poisoning. OH gave himself it eating out of a burger van and I'm traumatised by it lol. Xx

KHTW what time is your baby scan tomorrow hun? Xx
 
To Laura and Jem - I’m so glad I’m not the only one still feeling a bit overwhelmed and like this isn’t real...obviously I’m over the moon and it definitely started feeling more real when we found out she was a girl but otherwise it’s been a strange feeling. I’ve not felt anything from the baby yet although we had a scan yesterday so I know everything is fine, I just feel overweight rather than like I have a bump... we got our pram and DH was loving putting it up and I just felt his huge sense of.... well like being on a runaway train where you aren’t sure where you’re going but you can’t get off... then you start thinking “wow I’m going to be rubbish at this......”

So yeah, I’m definitely feeling overwhelmed!

GG - we drove past your pub last weekend :) sadly couldn’t drop in but I mentioned it to DH as we passed!

I seem to be the only one in my family panicking! haha my husband and mum and brother are all super chill and I'm freaking out! like I have no idea what to do with a baby and its terrifying!

Spent the day shopping with my mum to put my mind at ease a bit. Got some bargains and we decided that the tutti bambini sidesleeper cot thing isn't for us so that's something crossed off the list. We are just going to go for a cot in our room and the moses basket with a stand downstairs. Now just to pick and buy the cot, the cot mattress, sheets and a stand for the moses basket haha jeez im exhausted thinking about it! Is anyone going for bumpers on the cot?

Ordered a new mattress and mattress protector for the moses basket yesterday so picking that up on the 7th and then today we got more bottles cuz I was feeling paranoid also bumped into a nice lady who has a 10 day old baby who was frantically buying bottles as she didnt have enough hahaha managed to get 6 tommee tippee closer to nature ones for £12. bargain! theyre all beautiful colours too!

Got a gro egg too in a sale for £16 and had it out already and plugged in, love it! I feel slightly better today as we got some more clothes and a wee toy dinosaur :D and a toy tractor cuz I married a farmer hahaha (in his own country) we want the child to know all about its indian granny and grandad and their land! xx
 
I use a mesh bumper on the cot as I worry about arms and legs getting caught

sounds like you're getting pretty organised Laura. out of curiosity what do your in-laws farm?

Had a busy day at work. My appraisal went very well, management seem to be happy and there is a chance of promotion after I am back from maternity so very happy about that!

Took DD swimming after work. Made quick dinner and now away to bath as both. Then storytime and bed for us both!!!

Have a great weekend ladies xx
 
Good luck KHTW! I'll try to remember to log on after lunch and see what you're having!

have a lovely weekend ladies! day with DD tomorrow, we might get crafty and make oh a Valentines card or we might bake. I've got a couple of friends over for dinner tomorrow night and I'm so glad, I'm so excited for my scan on Monday I need to keep busy. haven't decided what to make for main yet but dug out one of the old faithful recipes for pud, sticky toffee pudding!

enjoy yourselves
 
Good luck KH. Sounds like busy weekends for everyone ahead.

Fela, sending virtual waves back :)

I'm totally unprepared as well. Only thing we have bought is a pregnancy pillow I don't like ��

Not worried in the slightest though. We will get the basics in a few months. After That, we'll buy what we need as we need it. I refuse to go mad and buy stuff now when I don't even know what we'll genuinely need.
 
Same GG. I've bought some clothes now, nappies, wipes, new digital thermometer, bibs, muslins etc. Little things just. Picked my pram but not bought it, meant to get a few things in already but haven't yet. I'm not too bothered there's plenty of time. Way less stresssed than last time now

To Jem, Laura, Fela honestly you'll all be fine. Every ftm feels like this. Don't stress about any of it. Buy what you'd like but don't stress too much about the what ifs and reviews etc. Babies need very little in the beginning and anything you are unsure of or forget you can always get once they're here. The minute you see the baby you'll wonder what you were so worried about in the first place. Nobody can look after your baby better than you. Xx

KH good luck for tomorrow. I can't wait to know what baby is :pink: :blue: xx

Shep sounds like a lovely weekend planned enjoy!! Xx

Dd isn't too bad tonight tbh. Even managed some food so I'm hoping whatever it was wasn't an actual bug. I bought stuff in to bake the other day (told you how bad I am at baking it's literally rice crispy buns smarties cakes etc) and she asked could we do it tomorrow. She also has a weekend box left to do. So I have my fx my weekend is a little salvageable haha

Have a nice weekend girls!
