raising willow… and dexter!

All the sickness and pain is worth it when you can feel those determined little kicks. So, the good news is that I’ve been eating more.  The bad news is that taking either Zofran or Domperidone doesn’t really seem to work anymore, I’m still feeling a reasonable level of nausea, but my appetite is back. [...]

Willow and I went to the fish shop today and chose some more fish. I had to get another bristlenose catfish – it wasn’t until he died that I realised how much he cleaned the tank. The new little guy is having a feast at the moment. We also got a couple of neon tetra, [...]

I have been playing around with Firefox since A set up a new thingo (pregnancy=word finding issues) for me on his computer and I was given a clean slate. First link is Firefox add-ons.

I had a nice sleep-in, until about 10:30am. I had a metronome/heat-pack, aka, Rani our cat, in with me. Bit of a change to be sharing the bed with one feline occupant, rather than two human occupants! I ate a bowl of sultana bran, a tin of peaches, two eggs scrambled and a piece of [...]

I just want to say that I’m not normally obsessed with my weight, or food. Normally I eat what I want, when I want. I’ve never really thought about losing weight, it’s just not important to me. So please forgive me if this blog is reading like a proud anorexic’s, I just want to be [...]
