Mr Hoppy - Mark 2

for those of you who followed the tragedy of the chocolate bunny earlier in the year (see April 06), I just had to post to share my joy. I received for Christmas a chocolate reindeer. It must have evolved from the same family as the chocolate bunny as it has the same red bow with the bell. I'm really looking forward to eating him (ears first of course!). As you can see from the pic Cara has her evil eye set on him. he is stashed safely in a very high cupboard so fear not. Only chocolate hungry humans stand between me and my reindeer - and most humans know better than that!

2 weeks off

i just got signed off today for 2 weeks. i hate not working it makes my mind go a wee bit funny (well funnier than normal). poor jamie comes home and i have 10,000 words stored up to use on him. cara is good company but she gets a little annoying when i'm trying to sleep. sadly neighbours is going through a dodgy plot phase so i dont even have that to perk up the middle of my day.
still... if resting for a while means that i will feel better than this then bring it on! anyone within travelling distance that fancies popping round for coffee (your making it) then come on down... but dont be disappointed if i fall asleep on you (not literally!).

Guess who's back... back again...

the baby at 8 weeks - its a lot bigger now just havent uploaded latest scan pics

Happy new year to you all. I have been more than rubbish at keeping this blog up of late. My excuse is that i am with child and therefore have too many other things to be doing.

I am due in th emiddle of June - currently 18 weeks gone.

You're probably pretty glad that I haven't been keeping up with the blog or you would have had several months of me whinging about vomiting etc. Still you have 5 months of that ahead of you by the looks of things as I'm still being sick. I can however pass on my handy hint that I learned this week:

• dont eat minty food/sweets if there is any chance you may vomit - it is comparable with shoving an entire tub of vicks up your nose and it will sting for at least two hours (even chilli stopped stinging after 30mins!)

Had a brief stay at the hospital this past week because of breathing problems. Was on an obstetric ward so saw lots of little babies - made it a bit more real - only 5 months to go!
