How to start doing things again?

SO, the little man is in his crib asleep.... it took ages, not like him... he's been a funny little creature of late. I would say that he's not been himself, but I'm starting to worry that this is him.... the crying grumpy so and so! Anyhoo, I live in hope my placid little smiler will come back at some point!

It's funny, I'm really struggling to get life to any kind of normality when the wee man is in bed. I'm past the needing to lie in a darkened room stage everytime he is in bed but I'm struggling to know what to do. There is the obvious washing and tidying house aspect but apart from that I seem to have forgotten what I did before the little one was born. 

I know I like to be crafty, but I can't think what to do...

I know I like to bake but I don't seem to have the get up and go (plus I always forget one crucial ingredient and I can't just pop to the shops anymore!)

I like to go out.... (but again that is harder!)

So, what to do.... I guess it'll gradually get easier...

Until then, I'll hang out the washing and write this!

38+1 weeks

Hello again. So I'm now 38 weeks pregnant and still no baby. Unfotunatly I'm having one of those impatient days. I'm trying to balance this with the knowledge that this peace and quiet and ability to do what I want when I want will not last for much longer...... unfortunatly, even that is not working.

So, appointment on Monday they were satisfied with the baby, although did hear the skipped beat but said it may be a sign of foetal immaturity (how rude)! And scan, which I know is totally innacurate, plotted the baby in at 7lbs 11oz already.... another reason for wanting it shifting!

So, i'm just waiting.... cooked up 24 portions of food for the freezer, painted a tree on the nursery wall, pics to follow and have generally been whizzing round like a mad woman.

Ordered me a TENS machine yesterday which will hopefully come tomorrow, any experience of them out there I'd be interested to know thoughts...

Anyhoo, i'm off to cook tea, seeyas latas!

Bakewell tart

Oh Alice, you have done a bad thing... I have woken up this morning craving almonds, jam and icing.... Town it is for ingredients then :(

Food Blogs

I also have a passion for food and therefore spend a lot of time looking up new recipies and things to make my tastebuds dream.

I'll be sharing with you a few of my favourite sites so that you too can eat too many yummy things and make too much mess in your kitchens!
