Are you planning your babymoon?

[DoubleK]

I am blessed again to have my 'babymoon' in winter! so that means staying home, warm slippers & dressing gown, heater on... and going with the flow! i have no idea how dd is going to adjust to this new bub, so i will take it as it comes! im more worried about dd than i am about how i will adjust to our new situation!

i dont have any plans made at all.. im sure ill have visitors here n there.

Bek - what sort of meals are you freezing? This is something I could do in the next few weeks but never know what to freeze

I'm just going to play it by ear and try not to have any of the expectations I did last time. I'm hoping DH will take at least 2 weeks off work this time (usually goes back to work when I get home, by my request I should add) and my mum will be staying longer this time to help out too.

I am planning (when I'm over this flu!) to make a start on things in the nursery etc and try to mentally prepare for the fact that this is actually, really happening!

Willow:

We have a freezer full of meals. I have made and frozen 4 containers of spaghetti bolognaise sauce (minus the spaghetti), two meat lasagnes and 1 vegetarian lasagne, 1 tuna casserole, 1 beef stew, 1 pasta bake and some other leftover things that we've had from other meals as well as a big container of soup.

Hope this gives you some ideas

Willow - I will cook up a couple of serves of spag bol sauce, sheppard's pie meat base, make some pizza bases (par cook them and freeze), some soup stock base, maybe a meatloaf. Other things that we normally don't eat but I'll stock up on is family meat pies, and a latina style pasta packet. I am planning on using my slower cooker too!!!! This week will be my "organising' week and trying to mentally and emotionally prepare for the arrival.

Havent actually thought about it. Im hoping things will be easier this time round as DF returned to work the day i came home(24hours after birth) after #2.

All i know is i want to stay at home as much as possible, have very few visitors while im trying to adjust to having 3kids.

I'm trying to get organised this week too Bek. DH went and got our layby out and finished all the things he had to do in the nursery so no excuses now.

I think I will do the same, cook up some batches of spag bol sauce, maybe a casserole or two in the slow cooker. The shepperd's pie base is a good idea too!
