OK, so it’s not very chronological, seeing as I’m now in the 27th week, but we had a bit of network problems in the home. (more on that later, chronologically ).
Here is a pic of me at 25 weeks, it’s not a very flattering picture, but I guess it’s sufficient for record-keeping.
As you can [...]
So here it is – the three month barrier. From now on, I can expect to expand rapidly, and start to worry about this: ofp.
A note about breast pads – ewwwwwwwwwww I hear you scream, but it’s important advice. I’d bought some disposable ones, just until I’d got over the horror, [...]
I’m not mad – it does actually exist!
I ate half a delicious apple last night, when suddenly, within 10 minutes, developed really sore gums, lips, and worst of all throat. My throat swelled like having a really bad throat infection – very uncomfortable. I have had this type of reaction to apples, nectarines, carrots, [...]
So, I had my 26-week midwife appointment today. She took some more blood, measured the bump (which was perfectly-sized) and listened to the heartbeat, and incidentally some hiccups.
In answer to our questions: there’s nothing wrong with an extremely active baby – means healthy and lots of energy (not a sign of epilepsy as I [...]
WOOHOO!
I have a new laptop! It’s great. Really fast (well compared to my old one). It also got here really quickly. We ordered it on Sunday and it was delivered at 8am Wednesday morning! Fantastic. Dell rock! It has a 1.3GHz processor and 512Mb of RAM. It’s [...]

Took it apart following these instructions: www.pbfixit.com/Guide/54.11.0.html They are very detailed and very good instructions – highly recommended.
When it was apart, I cleaned [...]I thought it best to write a bit about what sort of thing I’m eating at the moment. I’ve been eating quite a lot of strawberries, as they are in season, so affordable, and, unlike a lot of other fruit, they doesn’t hurt my mouth. I seem to have a problem with: raw [...]
So, I’m 24 weeks gone, and found some time to introduce beethoven the baby’s newly hardened ear bones. It’s just heard Symphonies 1-3. It was kicking madly this morning, so I seized the waking time to play the symphonies – the Eroica seemed to calm it down. It has now heard:
Bach’s French [...]
So, after being offline for a few weeks – moving home, I’m back on the blog.
The baby is really sticking out now, well it should be at 5 months, though it apparently only weighs 1lb. It has already been swimming in the med after a visit to doting grandparents-to-be in Vilanova.
It has also heard [...]
