well... yesterday i did the honey n lemon thing... and the bath thing... and i even got to do the early night thing!! but ive woken up feeling a right state. and poor bubba harry is coughing his heart out, he didnt want his medicine this morning although i did manage to get him to take it eventually. he is currently sitting in his high chair watching bunny town... for breakfast i havegiven him toast with honey, a custard cream, 2 chocolate fingers a beaker of juice and a bottle of tea. not your average breakfast i know... but i just want him to eat something!! so far he has nibble the custard cream and a chocolate finger. progress. progress !!
my poor baby.
i hope i get better as tomorrow night im sposed to be going out with my mum n mother in law n nan... we're going to see a clairvoyant (bad spelling) colin fry... he used to do this program called 'sixth sense with colin fry' now he does some 'phsycic detectives' but i dont like that much. im excited to go as i havmt been before n i just wanna see how he does it... hope fully he'll talk to us.. but i wont get my hopes up.
im gonna go now... feeling too damn rough to tell you the truth. and im gonna give my baby a cuddle. x
i feel awful right now. infact i am sipping my home made medicine aka honey and lemon juice...
no actual medication of any kind! urgh... the doc man said i cant have anything. and even to try to avoid paracetomol if i can. just knowing i theres nuffin available to me makes me feel worse i think. im gonna have a nice warm bath later, wash my hair n feel all cozy when i go to bed. i tried to do that last night but the hot water ran cold... so i werent too happy after that.
doc said that harry has an ear infection. bless him. hes being good with his medicine tho so i hope he'll be better soon. he's really worrying me with his food intake. he has barely eaten anything since monday... doc didnt seem too worried... but i am.
i think if he still isnt eating on sat/sun then ill take him to the out of hours doc at the hospital. i just want my baby to eat.
also ive got a really bad pain in my stomach... its a really precise spot about the size of your thumb print just above left of my belly button. i cant explain it, but it hurts. and its been there a couple of days now... if that continues then ill call the midwife... urgh... as if i need more stress right now eh?
so lets all cross our fingers and hope for good things to come eh...?
me n harry was out at 8.30. we went to the docs and harry screamed the place down... they even put us at the front of the queue to get us out the way! thanks harry... x
turns out his cold has given him an ear infection... so not only has he got a runny nose, red weapy eyes, a sore throat and a cough... he also cant hear very well... poor baby. x
they gave him some yummy (yuk) medicine which he took no problem thank god. so we'll be havin that every 4 hours.... lucky us. x
as for me... paracetomol ... thats it... those useless little pills are meant to cure my headaches, body aches, sore throat n runny nose... general cold/flu... urgh.... i have to go see jons nan later (even dispite illness may i add) but i have sent her down the shops to get me honey n lemons for my magic cure.
i picked up some soup on the way back from the docs... so hopefully ill be able to persuade harry to eat something at lunch time.
hope ur all good. im gonna go n tidy up.. slowly.... might make me feel more human,,, hehe... yeh right... x
yesterday i did tidy up alot. and when john came home early from work i was mid way thru harrys wardrobe, surrounded by clothes n carseats n other random stuff that usually lives within!!
jon said ' i know you wanted to tidy up but thats abit much aint it. why dont you just do 1 room a day?'
well thanks for showing your concern but if i do one room a day nothing wud get done. coz no doubt itd be the livingroom which will be messy again by the next day so everyday id just be tidying the same room. hmmph... anyway i had to re order harrys wardrobe coz i couldnt fit anything else in it! the boys has far too many clothes!
ive woken up today with a really sore throat and a runny nose, and harrys cough is no better, so im thinking that we'll be off down the doctors at some point today to see if they can 'fix' us.
ill try to tidy again today but may give up soon after starting.
davina probably wont get a look in today as im feelin really achy n weak. but i will try. the trouble is, the livingroom has to be tidy for when i do it so i dont fall over all the toys and stuff on the floor. but by the time i have tidied everything im so not in the mood for any exercise. i will try tho, coz thats why im here isnt it!!
ive been in such a bad mood lately. really snappy. spose u could put it down to mood swings n hormones n stuff. but i just think i have loads of reasons to be pissed off!!
ive given up cleaning for the day coz i cant be bothered... what is the point. it always looks like a pig sty. the carpets need cleaning... the dog needs a bath... there is STILL washing that needs to be washed, dried, folded n put away... everytime you open a cupboard something falls out and it probably werent meant to be in there in the first place !!
im just fed up. jon invites people round and dont tell me til the dorrbell goes... so when im standin in my nightie surrounded by washin he wonders whats the matter with me...? its embarressing... his mates houses dont look like this.
not a good day for me today... feel like shit, surrounded by shit, look like shit....
infact there is a SEVER WEATHER WARNING on every news channel.
im glad im not on the coast. the news reporter on gmtv was literally havin to hold onto a lampost to stand still in 75mile an hour winds. it was quite funny to watch tho. the poor camera man didnt have anything to hold on to (other than the camera of course) and he was gettin further and further away from the drenched reporter.
saying that tho... theres a nice clear blue sky outside my window as im typing this... strange eh?? im sure itll be gone soon.
we're meant to be doing photography outside at college tonight, but with the storm i dont think thatll happen (i hope not anyway).
harrys still not too well. i think he must have a sore throat as he is really off his food and his cough sounds awful. he always seems to be tired too, spose thats from lack of food. im just trying to feed him at every oppertunity. he seems a little happier today tho. so thats nice to see. and he slept all night and didnt wake, so he must have been settled. i had a nice sleep too. although it could have been longer. x
i weighed myself this morning. and i weighed in at 14st10lbs (206). according to my chart i should have gained 9.6 lbs. i have gained 3lbs in total, so im doing ok. would like to slow down on the gaining tho. until like week 27 (that might be abit much) when ill gain roughly 1lb per week. thats normal. well 2lb is normal. but lets say 1lb eh? for the overweight thing it gets reduced a little.
im feeling ok today. im gonna put davina on in a min and do my preggers excersizin.
i started off well with my food this morning. i woke up n had a cup of tea and then 2 crumpets and herbal tea for breakfast. but i just went wonky and had 5. . . YES I SAID 5!!!!!!!! custard creams... oops.
best work davina abit harder than normal
ill be back later to update you on my days progress. so u can tell me off if i havnt done any davina. x
back soon

QUICK UPDATE:- mums just got here... just wanted to drop by and let you know that i did do my dvd... yay me...
but im thinking that i will be cutting out carbs as its makin me really bloated. but i do love carbs!!!
just for JOY heres a few of the pics i have taken...
i didnt take the last one... thats me.... but i edited it. x
well its sunday and harryjs home now. he's not too well. got a cold n cough... hes really tired and really clingy and just not too happy... so hes getting lots of cuddles and medicine today. hes asleep at the moment, thats where he wants to be... all wrapped up nice and warm in his cot. bless him. hes so lovely, its not nice to see him not well... but it is nice to get lots of cuddles!
im feelin a little more pregnant everyday when i wake up. only in the morning tho. i spose its coz i can feel my uturus... the pregnancy calenders i get thru my email say its about 1inch below my belly button and thats exatcly what i can feel. so thats good. still no baby movement yet. i have 'thought' i may have felt 'it' on 2 occasions... but after it happens, the longer you spend sayin 'was it?' you forget what it felt like and pass it off as something else. i felt harry move quite late tho, so im not expecting anything just yet. x
its just started raining here and is not too nice. college tomorrow was sposed to be an outdoor shoot of a rather picturesque church, but the weather report is predicting a storm so i doubt itll go ahead. but you never know.
my brother is cooking dinner for us today... as far as i know. havnt heard from him since he made the offer. but he bloody better be cooking coz i havnt got anything in.
anyway just a quicky from me... maybe ill be back later.
im 18 weeks today. amazing, its going so quick. cant wait to feel pregnant. i dont at the mo. i think i can feel the baby belly... but u cant see it at harrys baby belly is still there camoflaging it.
today is yet another day of cleaning. but thats ok. i just wanna get it all done, i really dont wanna stop until its all done. so i will spend my saturday cleaning. me n jon was gonna go out for tapas tonight, but we had bills to pay and were really broke now even tho yesterday was pay day... so no tapas for us
after this weekend i will look forward to no more 4day cleaning sessions. davina will be makin regular appearances in my livingroom. id rather see the new baby belly than harrys one, so thats what we'll work on. i havnt weighed myself yet. i will... its just i dont feel like ive done anything so i wont weigh in just yet. obviously i do expect to have gained... theres no helping that! but i have my chart to refer to saying how much i should have gained so i can compare that with how much i have gained and see what the damage is like. i think i should have gained 10lbs by now and ive gained about 3... so thats quite good, sort of makes a 7lb loss. the baby will gain regardless. its just me we're workin on.
i have tried my hardest to eat good things and drink more water and walk more and excercise. im feeling really achy from doing all this washing. its all the bending down to fill the basket n empty the washing machine n tumble dryer n carry washing to bedrooms n stuff... i can feel it around my knees. ouch... x
but hey. i will not give up. itll only make me stronger right?
its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life.... for me...
AND IM FEELING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.......
i think that song... pretty much sums up my mood today. im not like over the top happy (even if it is friday).. but i feel calm, content and ready to get the bloody flat finished 3 days after i started it...
i started cleaning and sorting out on wednesday morning, and then harry had his accident and i had to go out to ivys... and then i carried on yesterday morning and then went out yesterday afternoon... so even tho i have cleaned my heart out eveytime i get home or wake up it looks a complete tip... although i know its been a work in progress so i am proud of how much i have done... coz u can see it.
and last night i made dinner for me n jon... rump steak, grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms and onions with garlic and WW chips. its was sooooooooooooo yum... so i was pretty happy with that too!!! and my mates were impressed by my cooking. x
so today i am doing yet more washing... i will be putting all this washing away too.... and then doing the cosmetic stuff... like polishing the mirrors n finishing touches. which will make me a very happy bunny.
hope your all feeling good
speak soon

but its over now. so we can hopefully have a better day today.
yesterday was like one thing after an other... harrys toe, cab came early to go to ivys and i wasnt ready, cold dinner at ivys, got home to no electric, the sky tv had been cut off as the direct debit didnt come out, harry refused to go to bed, then decided to wake up at 3am and wudnt go back to sleep. he did eventually but then decided not to have a lie in, and woke up 15mins early... urgh... my back is aching so much.
but i did manage to do 5 loads of washing yesterday... can u believe i even have 5 loads of washing!! i HATE washing bleedin clothes... i hate it. and to make it worse... theres still, more. urgh... ive never known anyone to have so much washing.
i will be meeting my friends in romford later... hopefully all will be good today.
