ktpie huge sympathies on the stitches. I cant remember if I posted it last week, but my stitches were so butchered that they ended up infected so had to get them taken out. I was then left to heal au natural. The midwife had to check out my bits every day for about two weeks and I remember her bringing a medical student along for a look because it was so rare. Very dignified it was, with me hanging off the end of the bed as the both peered and prodded up my fanjo
Anyway, I hope you're not too uncomfortable. I found baths in either tea tree oil or lavender were very helpful.
Poppy glad you found a nanny. There's a lot of horrible bugs doing the rounds just now so hope you feel better soon.
Thanks all for food suggestions a while back. Who recommended those frozen coley portions? Found them in the freezer at Tesco's today and they seem perfect. Can you remind me how many mins you do them in the microwave? The package instructions are for two or three pieces.
Neenz I also tried my hand at home-made 'baked beans' and S loved them. My sauce was tin of tomatoes, grated carrot, onion, wholegrain mustard and some dried herbs and mixed the haricot beans. S just had a bowl for lunch mixed with toast soldiers and he wolfed it down. I was also searching for new snack ideas in Tesco and brought home some organix cereal bars and some kids smoothie pouches. I spent forever looking at the ingredients of loads of different fruit pot/jelly pots/fruit in jelly/yoghurts etc looking for things that didn't have added sugar. Couldn't find anything apart from these smoothie things. Now, I'm not actually massively anal about sugar, but why oh why do they need to add it to things full of fruit (naturally sweet) that are marketed at kids?
I must go and crack on with some study. DH has just taken S to the park so I can study and its just started raining so I suspect it wont be long before they're home!
