Healthy Pregnancy

[Dr. Tal]

Wow, it has been very quiet in here hasn't it?

Kirst - had to laugh at your poo vomit story. I don't know how I'd manage with a toddler AND my M/S so I completely sympathise with you.

Cherished - Really must try making some of your bliss balls. They really do sound yummy. I got a craving for my pasta over the weekend and made HEAPS and HEAPS of that and froze it.

Audax - Your apple and pear crumble sounds really yummy! I don't know when I am going to find all the time to try out all the recipes from on here that I want to!

I also read my pasta manaul for the first time ever on the weekend (not entirely sure why, but I did) and it had in there a recipe for pasta and it said you could repace the eggs with soda water I just remembered you asked for a pasta recipe without eggs. I'll have to try to remember to post it for you tonight.

Entreat - wow, sounds like you're being super good with all your exercise!

HJ - What are you studying at uni?

AFM - Welded some gates with DH on Saturday. Wore a whole heap of protection so I didn't get arc burn, but apparently not enough. My belly must have stretched the two shirts I had on too much and got arc burn all over my belly OUCH! It's like a really bad sunburn. Was SO SORE on Sunday but it's starting to get better now. Then on sunday I did some concreting with DH. He's helping me fix up my quail cage a bit better so it's easier to keep clean Then I just did my usual fish tank cleans, weeding and house cleaning.

lol was laughing at the shopping lists, I had some shops like that too. And I'm still so suggestible, I want chippies now! (mental note to self: must not derail thread).

Kirsten - you poor thing! That was one thing that oddly enough didn't make me feeling like vomiting thank good. Between cat, dog & toddler poo I seem to be surrounded!

AFM well I had an AWESOME week last week - was feeling great, walking every day. My mum is still here helping out and we've been rushing around getting stuff done (she loves gardening OMG what a blessing for me as it was all so overgrown). But today I've come down with a streaming headcold bah. So I just feel like comfort food. Was at work yesterday and didn't eat very well either. Plus i'm petrified that DS will get the cold too... at least mum is staying on for a bit (she feels so sorry for me with the cold - which I actually caught from her!).

On the bright side (a bit off track, but oh well), I have my 20wk scan tomorrow and we're finding out the gender (and telling too). I am SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED! 1 sleep to go!! I really hope bubba cooperates. Oh and my DH felt bubba moving last week (at 18.5 weeks) so that was great fun.

Belfie - how did you go? how did you go?

[belfie]

Fuzzy - aren't you just the sweetest stalker! It's a GIRL!!!! I couldn't be more thrilled - our little family will be complete with my son & daughter. I'm feeling SO lucky.

Awesome belfie! Congrats

[Dr. Tal]

Belfie - That's FANTASTIC!! WOOHOO You must be stoked!

[Kirsten]

Yay Belfie: how exciting! Yipppeeeeeeee.

[Cherished]

Cherished: I love organic spelt bread, I make it all the time, I also use the dough to make crackers for DS, so he doesn't have to eat stuff full of preservatives I hope i will have energy this week to make those yummy balls.

Crackers YUM, can you share how you make them?

Belfie YAY a GIRL Wooooohoooooo I bet little Xander will be thrilled

Dr. Tal hope you are feeling better now hon, it's not fun being sick this long and just darn unfair I say! dh and I are doing hypnobirthing too, we are loving it

Audax 43 out of 48 cupcakes OMG!!! I hope you had lots of help I can't talk though.....

AMF had the most amazing 4 day weekend and I didn't eat 'that' well either due to having plenty of camping snacks and supplies but I am back into my healthy eating and pilates tomorrow and I might even do a water aerobic class next Friday too. I am STILL not walking regularly I really must get my butt into gear this weekend! I'm looking forward to this Friday as I'm having a massage YAY. For anyone who would like to read about my wonderful weekend I posted all about it in the woohoo section https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-hehehehe.html

hello to all of you other beautiful healthy pregnant mummas, hope you're having a great day

Cherished: I just roll out the bread dough really thin and cut it with a biscuit cutter, I also roll them into sticks and all sorts of things, this morning I did some little plaits with cheese in them....YUM!!!! and sticks and DS also did some interesting shapes too, they come out crunchy if they are thin enough and better than the nasty processed rot you get in the supermarket, and you also know exactly what is in them I am so excited you are doing hypnobirthing too, you won't regret it! A friend of mine who is a midwife says that in her experience people who have done some sort of calmbirth/hypnobirth/active birth courses generally have easier, drug free births, she said it makes sense but she is surprised how time and time again it proves to be the case. She thinks cambirth should be part of the hospital classes you do, then there would be a whole lot less intervention.

Audax: where do you get the seabands from, I've heard a few people talk about them and would have no idea where to get them from, might give them a burl. Wish I was there to help with the cupcake eating frenzy! Good on you for the swimming!!!!

Fuzzy: good on you too for the swimming plans. I might have to investigate that myself, there is a creche at our pool so I really have no excuses

Belfie: did you have a feeling you were having a girl? I kind of think I am, only because I am so sick and I wasn't sick like this with DS.......
