Greenslw you sweet thing thanks for your message When were you thinking of leaving work? Gosh I wish I could just be at home for the whole pregnancy and never go back to work
Smallyfry are you a vego? my dh has been vego for about 15 years and me for about 4. I am starting to worry about it though now that I am pregnant... I hadn't been in the past but my acupuncturist (who I credit for helping me get pregnant) suggested that I try to eat some red meat once a week to help my liver which was blocking the energy flow down to my baby making area... He has given me herbs which are doing the trick but it is still heavily on my mind OH and I'd loooove that recepie of the butter chicken and tika masala they were my fav indian dishes until I went vego so would love to make a vego alternative... There is a great vego thread on BB if you'd also like to share them there
AFM I've had a HUGE day!!! I ended up rearranging all the kitchen cupboards it's much better this way but dh will be lost when he opens them to find a plate or something hehehhehe. I'm still yet to go into town and do some grocery shopping after I take that darn christmas tree down! Thanks goodness for nana naps
Cherished - I used to be entirely vego but now just mostly. I was brought up vego and didn't eat meat til I was in my mid to late teens. Never been a big eater of it and was only chicken and a bit of fish but not real keen on either. I've gone through nearly 3 pregnancies vego and have had no problems with not eating red meat. The only supplements I take are elevit and vitamin d and for once in my life my iron levels are actually good! They're usually a little low but not disastrously so. Will jump into the other thread for the recipes... though the tikka was actually a premade sauce that I mixed green beans and snow peas into with some veg chicken stuff that I found at a vegetarian chinese grocer.
PS. all the chrissy decorations came down last night Not that I'm feeling smug or anything!! lol Such a relief to have everything back to 'normal' though as for some reason it always looks a little messy with all the Christmas stuff up. Though now everything looks blank!!

Cherished - I just had to pop in and say CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy. Sticky Vibes for you
tashybabe - hoping the spotting settles, just take it easy as you can and if you need, go and see a doctor or the emergency dept at your hospital.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone
Matilda is coming along just fine. She will now sleep 3-4 hours or more at a time, although she feeds for a couple of hours during the night between blocks of sleep, and is starting to be quite content just laying around watching the world go by. I'm really dreading going back to work in February, although I am lucky enough to work from home, so I won't miss out on her.
Smallfry I have the opposite from ppl, You are quite small aren't you? My belly cast looks great. DH was very cute when he got over the fact he was putting stuff on my boobs men. Make the time and do it when you can. I had this feeling that If I leave it it will be too late. Not that I"m having a feeling on the Due Date but my belly is really doing weird things and things seam to be getting stronger. Hmmmmmmm Fresh fruit.......
I second the no work motion Cherished. My friend didn't work for any of hers and she always seamed so calm. Nana nap sounds like a good idea.
ATM my left side is being horrible. Last night period pain then pelvis pain and I was unable to find a comfortable spot, not sitting, standing, lying, I cried for ages, then went to the chemist and got some pills, which are working. I'm scared if labor is like that I'm not going to cope. But I guess you have a break not solid pain for 6 hours.
Well my belly cast is now done and looks beautiful, It looks huge but I guess I am. DH was so careful but in the end really got into it. Such a wonderful memory for us, I highly recommend it. If you can't find the plaster bandages they are on EBAY I used 4 but could have used another 1.
Well it's 2010 what an amazing decade 00 was 10's will be even better.
OMG i can't actually believe I am getting to post on PAML, it seems like forever since I joined the TTC thread back in April. I don't yet have the guts to make a pregnancy ticker until I've had me second lot of bt on tuesday. For those who I haven't kept up with I have been doing IUI at the clinic this was my 2nd cylce with injections. I got a faint hpt positive on 29th (called 3 people at 4.30 in the morning to tell them because I was so excited!!!) then confrimed by bt yeasterday best New Years ever even though I was completely sober and needed a nap between 9.30 and 11 so I could be awake to see in the new year
Cherished I am so happy you are in here with me and about the same way along too. From my o day I'm exactly the same as you 4 weeks 1 day (if they take it from my period date,6/12 which they said they do then I'm only 3 wekks and 5 days!) Seems a bit silly to me since they know the exact day I concieved!
It is great to see how far along some of my other girls from the TTC thread are.
The psychic I saw in November said I'd be pg by Christmas and I was so I'm clinging to the fact that she said my baby girl will make it all the way this time
Mollycat you sweetie thanks so much How are you and bubs going?
Smallfry thanks for your recipe in the other thread, YUMMMM
tashybabe How are you going? Is everything ok now?
AFM I have been really enjoying going back to bed at around 10am (I get up between 5-6) today dh was home too so he snuggled in and we slept for 2 hours than I got up for lunch... I have been hungry heaps! ans I feel so bloated Somethign I am not used to feeling and to top it off my back is starting to get a bit sore... But you know what I LOVE IT Bring it on... I'm having a baby YAY
cherished & sunbeam, it's such a pleasure to see you both in here that it brings me to tears of happiness. I joined up in April and you were both there with me going through the same things as me and I have been waiting for you both to move across! Still a couple other ladies to come on over but we're getting there!
greenslw - being your first it won't get all that huge. My ob keeps telling me not to stress about how big I'm getting because they just keep getting bigger and bigger as you have more cos everything has already stretched etc. Make sure you do casts for any future pregnancies as well!! I'll probably do one in the first week of Feb, maybe a little later, depends how I'm feeling really. My sis has volunteered to paint it for me as I haven't got any artistic talent and she is incredibly talented. I'm thinking about getting my daughters involved in it too, perhaps just for hand prints on it though as my younger has no patience for putting genuine thought into her artwork.
cherished - hope you have a chance to try the recipe, it really is a great flavour sensation. I wish I could sleep so much! Having the same prob as greenslw, very difficult to get comfortable and when I do manage to sleep, I keep waking to pee or waking because my hips are aching etc.
I gotta be honest and fess up to having been lucky enough to have three pregs and not have to work during any of them. I have done a small amount of work towards the end of this one but only on a casual basis and only for a few days at a time and that's over now. I admire women who are able to work through preg as I can remember how tired I was first tri and I could barely get off the couch, slept almost all day every day and night as well!
Keep it going girls! Glad to see this group growing!!
sunbeam and cherished - congratulations. I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face. You have made my 2010. I couldn't be happier. I think of everyone in that thread almost everyday. Far out, sending you all my positive vibes and a massive massive hug to you both. Can't speak. Xxxxxxxxx
