<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
:-•:*"*:•.-:¦:-•*
Greetings *•-:¦:-•:*'''*:•-:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
It’s been a long time since the last time I wrote on
here and there is no one reason to explain why. There are many and I don’t know
which are the main reasons that’s if there are any main ones. I feel that I’ve
been neglectful and disloyal (not sure how to explain that feeling!) so today,
I’ve decided to write this blog post with the reasons behind it all and I’m
hoping that it all makes sense. I’m writing for my own benefit more than anything
else as I’m very aware that I might be the only one that reads this but I still
have to do it as it feels obligatory.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Since my second son was born on the 22<sup>nd</sup>
of October last year, my life has been frantic. This is expected with the birth
of a child but to top it off a week after the birth, my first born, my wild
child started attending school for the very first. So, there I was recovering
from somewhat of a traumatic deliver of my second child, adjusting around the
new school routine with my wild child and mothering a newborn. I’m pretty sure
by now you understand what I mean by “frantic”. Now with all this going on I couldn’t
write, didn’t find the time to. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
However this is where things become confusing. After
some time when things calmed down, peace started to be restored and I started
to find some time to myself I wouldn’t write or I’d find reasons not to. I didn’t
understand why, all I know is my mind would just try avoid even thinking about this
blog and it upset me that I felt disconnected. To stop myself from becoming
upset I just found excuses to why I can’t write. And then slowly the reason
became obvious! I started this blog when I found out I was pregnant, although
my intentions where to write about many aspects of life, most of the times I
wrote it was in regards to the pregnancy and when my little one was born I
guess I felt that was it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I also have a very short attention span and I also
think that probably is one of the reasons as I know it affects me a lot. I don’t
know how to explain it, the word bored comes to mind but it’s not accurate to
describe it. A good example is, how ever much I like and enjoy a serial program
on the tele, how much I want to and try I can never make a habit of watching on
schedule. Does that make sense? It doesn’t to me to be honest but I really don’t
know how else to explain my attention span.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Another factor maybe my PTSD. Suffering from
Post-Traumatic Stress disorder means I have periods where I’m ecstatically
happy, or really low or even just “plain not-bothered” and unfortunately I’ve
been feeling the latter the last few months.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, there it is all the reasons. Now I’m not sure if this
is going to change, if I’m going to start writing on here again. I know there
many things that I could write about and honestly there are many things I would
love to write about like Motherhood but whether I am I really don’t know. I
guess time will tell. However, this doesn’t mean I’m going to stop writing
altogether as I really would like to chatter about my interests in cooking,
travel, fashion etc. but no on here as I have a separate blog for all that. It’s
going to be on my other blog <a href="http://splendoursoflife.blogspot.co.uk/">http://splendoursoflife.blogspot.co.uk/</a>.

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
TODAY IS MY WILD CHILD’S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! Yes,
my baby is going to school. As I’ve expressed in a previous post (Click HERE to
read it) I had planned to home-school my wild child until the age of five and
the reasons behind that where several but one of the main reasons where I couldn’t
find a Islamic primary school that had a nursery or reception class. All of
them only took on children from the age of five. But recently a new Islamic
school has opened that starts from the nursery stage, I and wild child’s father
decided it’s a good idea for him to attend the school so he can start learning
certain necessary skills that we aren’t able to teach him at home such as
learning the Arabic language etc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
However, as I had planned to home-school him from
when he turned two because I was certain that there aren’t any Islamic schools
that take on under-fives, I somewhat feel WEIRD now that the plan has changed! I don’t exactly know how I
feel or how to describe the emotions I’m feeling or have been feeling since we
made the decision of sending him to school. And I don’t know how long I will
feel like this. But I do know that this is the right decision for him as wild
child wants to be around children more and is very excited about going to
school.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, I’m off now to wake wild child up and get him
ready for his first day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">

10 Days ago, on the 22<sup>nd</sup> of October at
14.09 I finally had my second child and IT’S A BOY!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Allah has gifted me with a second beautiful, healthy
boy who weighed approximately 9.1 pounds (4120gms exactly) at birth. And since
his birth he has had no complications or health issues and I hope it stays that
way.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I know I’ve been absent for some time now but I’m
back so I shall give you an update on the last few weeks including a detailed
birth story very soon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, that’s the birth announcement of my second sprog
(no more use of the term “unborn sprog”!).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">

Greetings *•-:¦:-•:*'''*:•-:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I think I’M GOING INTO LABOUR! Yes, since six o clock
yesterday evening I started having contractions every hour and it stayed at
that frequency until a few hours ago where they have become a lot more frequent
and a lot more STRONGER!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
At the moment there about twenty minutes apart and I’m
really hoping this is the real deal because I don’t want to wait any longer.
Pain-wise I prefer these contractions than the pain I’ve been feeling throughout
this pregnancy. I know most of you reading this will be probably thinking “what
the hell, she prefers contractions over…” But yes, compared to the Sciatica, SPD,
Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, Musculoskeletal Pain and the other entire problem
I prefer labour contractions!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Anyway, I’m going to go as staying in one position is
not possible at the moment and typing is quite hard. So, hopefully the next
time you hear from me will be when my unborn sprog is born.<o:p></o:p></div>

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been trying to slowly

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
An Aqiqah is Islamic ceremony which celebrates the
birth of a child through sacrificing animal/animals. How many animals depend on
the sex of the child, its one animal for a girl and two for a boy. In countries
where Islam is the predominant religion, the sacrifice can be made by the
father himself or a member of the child’s family. However, as that is not
allowed in the UK, there are specialised halal butchers that can take care of
the sacrifice for a cost. The Aqiqah is recommended to take place on the
seventh day after the child is born, if it’s not possible to take place on the
seventh then it should take place on the 14<sup>th</sup> day and if the 14<sup>th</sup>
day is not suitable then the 21<sup>st</sup> day is recommended. What is done
with the meat from the animal is up to the parents/family of the child, for
instance it can be shared out amongst the poor, friends and family or it can be
used to have a celebratory dinner on the day of the Aqiqah.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I’m hoping to have the Aqiqah on the seventh day if
everything goes well with the birth and my plan is to have a small gathering
with close friends and family. For the gathering I’m planning on cooking a meal
using the meat from the sacrificed animal alongside with other food. I also intend
on shaving the baby’s head which is also a religious requirement but I would do
it anyway to promote new hair growth. <o:p></o:p></div>

I want to have a themed party depending on the sex of
my little monkey and planning for that has been very hard especially buying colour
decorations, tableware etc. But I’ve tried to find one neutral colour for both
of the sexes. Which is Blue, yes I know you’re probably thinking blue is
predominantly a boy’s colour but I feel blue goes very well pink and white
which is the theme if my unborn sprog is a girl and if it’s a boy then the
theme colours will be blue and brown.</div>

So for I haven’t been able to do much physical

out what food I’m going to prepare, I’ve made my party printables (banner,
dessert table labels). I have bought little bits and bobs (as you can see in
the picture above). I still need to make a guest list, plan the basic design of
the Aqiqah cake and after the sprog arrives need to send out invites and do the
SHOPPING!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I know my 37<sup>th</sup> Week Update is a few days
overdue, but I’ve been poorly as usual and I haven’t been able do much rather
than stay in bed over the last week. Anyway, here is a quick diary of my 37<sup>th</sup>
week which I’ve spent feeling very weak.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
As I’ve already posted, the beginning of my 37<sup>th</sup>
week started off with me leaving the hospital last Sunday. After a horrible
experience in the hospital I thought I might start feeling better once I got
home but as I hit the next few days things just got worse! Over the week I
started to feel really weak, I haven’t been able to sleep more than two-three
hours a day due to chronic pain and my tummy just feels really big and heavy. I
now also suffer from chronic, agonising, killing musculoskeletal pain (the list
of words can just go on! The pain is on upper right-side of my back and it’s
not constant but it attacks me a few times a day and when it does I feel no
relief, nothing helps, and I can’t stay in one position for more than a second!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
My 37<sup>th</sup> week has been very emotional as
well. Emotional due the pain I’ve been feeling. I’ve been finding it quite hard
to control my tears and control feeling depressed about how I can’t do much. I do
hope this doesn’t go on for any longer as I really don’t like feeling like
this. I really want to enjoy the last few remaining days of my pregnancy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
My unborn sprog has been very, very, very active and
at times so active that he/she has been causing me a lot of discomfort. My midwife
has told me that everything seems to be perfect in regards to my unborn sprog’s
heart-beat rate, the size of my tummy and the position of the little monkey!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, that’s my 37<sup>th</sup> week, how is/was your
37<sup>th</sup> week and what did you get up to?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
:-•:*"*:•.-:¦:-•*
Greetings *•-:¦:-•:*'''*:•-:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
With all that’s has gone on in last week, I actually
have just noticed that I’M FULL-TERM! Yes, FULL-TERM. And this means that my
unborn sprog could be making his/her entrance anytime now.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
When my midwife first told me that that the thirty-seventh
week is considered to be Full-Term pregnancy, I didn’t understand why my due
date is set three weeks later. But, now I do and I’m just going to tell you in
case you don’t know what is meant by full-term or are wondering the same thing
I did “why is the due date set three weeks later?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
When a pregnant woman reaches her thirty-seventh
week, her baby is considered Full-Term even though she has three weeks till her

adjust to life outside the womb but in some cases some babies need more time. <o:p></o:p></div>

So, yes I’m Full-Term and with all the physical difficulties

my unborn sprog all healthy.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I’m back! I got discharged from hospital yesterday and
I thought I’ll try to update you on my 36<sup>th</sup> Week as my update is
over-due. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Well, simply put I’ve spent my 36<sup>th</sup> week
in agony and that’s been from the start of the week. It was the start of the
week when I suddenly got a really painful, itchy, weird rash in the middle of
my left palm (if you would like to see what it looked like click <a href="http://trinketoftreasure.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/what-is-this.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>). The rash
itched really severely and made my hand dry and I couldn’t stretch or clench my
palm. I just felt like grating my hand with a cheese garter! That’s how bad it
felt. I saw my GP on Monday in regards to the rash and even she couldn’t tell
me what is was! I was given a tropical anti-biotic cream and told that if the
rash doesn’t disappear within seven days of using it then I need to go back and
see her again but luckily even though it hasn’t completely disappeared it has
healed and practically not there anymore!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Then it was Tuesday night which I spent tired,
sleepless and window shopping online. Window shopping for what? Click <a href="http://trinketoftreasure.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/online-window-shopping-belly-bandit.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to
find out. But after finishing window shopping a severe case of chest pain,
breathing difficulty landed me in A&E at six o clock in the morning on
which was by now Wednesday. I spent the next few days in hospital on the
Antenatal Ward which was a few of the most distressing, agonising days I’ve had
in a very long time! I’m not going tell you much about it now as I’m hoping to
do a separate post on my experience tomorrow or in the next few days.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Since coming home yesterday, I have been suffering a really
bad hangover from all the medication I’ve been on during my stay in the
hospital.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, that was my 36<sup>th</sup> Week which I spent in
agony. How was/is your 36<sup>th</sup> week? I hope it went well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Anyway, that’s all from me today my lovelies. So until
next time,<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
I've gone from early morning window shopping to being in THE LABOUR WARD!!!<br />
<br />
No, I'm not in labour. We'll I hope not!<br />
So, what am I doing in the labour ward? Well after some online window shopping, around five o clock in the morning I started dehydrating and eventually feeling pain in my chest when I took deep breaths. Twenty minutes into it I couldn't talk or breath with out feeling severe pain. So, wild child's father called NHS direct they called me an ambulance and I was on my way to the A&E. I arrived at the A&E for about six, got the routine checks done (blood test, blood pressure, chest scan) which all reasonably came back normal except for the chest scan. Then I was told that I need to be checked for any blood clots and for that I had to come here, the labour ward.<br />
<br />
Since coming here, I've been told that the ECG (baby monitor) is showing tightening in my tummy and that I'm going to be spending a few days here for all necessary investigations!<br />
<br />
I can't express what I feel right now except that I feel very light-headed! Staying in hospitals is something I hate do I'm trying not to think about that too much. To be honest I'm trying not to think about anything incase I work myself up in a frenzy!<br />
<br />
I'm sorry if none of this is making any sense as my head feels like a balloon and I don't even have the mind set to read back through what I've written. <br />
<br />
So that's all for now,<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
It’s another one of those nights where I can’t sleep!
I’ve actually made peace with the notion that I’m not going to sleep another
single night until my unborn child comes out. So, what else to do but window
shop online, when I can’t sleep and there’s nothing on tele? Yes, I’m having a
session of online window shopping and one product that’s caught my eye is the
Belly Bandit.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I’m actually surprised that tonight is the first time
I’ve come across the Belly Bandit. After reading a little about it on the Belly
Bandit website, I decided to look at some reviews and wow, am I intrigued?
Very.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
The Belly Bandit is tummy compression belt that fits
around the post-partum tummy, it’s to be worn round the clock except for in
showers or baths, for six to eight weeks after the delivery. And use of the
Belly bandit is to start within twenty-four to forty-eight hours of delivery. The
Belly Bandit works by constantly applying medical-grade pressure to your tummy
which can strengthen, tighten your muscles, reduce stretch –marks and improve posture.
Other claims the Belly Bandit has made is that it:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
“Helps shrink the belly, waist and hips<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Adds support to the upper body while breastfeeding<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Comforts the mid-section after a C-section<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Helps the body lose inches faster<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Helps minimize stretch marks<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Adds support to the back and legs<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Accelerates the healing process<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Streamlines the silhouette to look slimmer in
clothing<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Boosts self confidence<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Aids in decreased bloating and swelling<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Reminds you to utilize your core muscles<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Helps to gently persuade muscles back together”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
My post-partum tummy is something I’m worried about
as my tummy wasn’t in great shape before I became pregnant and I’m scared that’s
it’s going to be worse after the deliver. So, the idea of something helping me at
least get it back in to where it was before I got pregnant sounds great and
very ideal. But, where I’m unsure about the Belly Bandit is the price and that
I might need two Belly Bandits. I don’t mind spending the money if the product
is worth it but I’m a little wary about having to buy two. Buying two isn’t a requirement
but it’s often the case that the user shrinks out of the first one very
quickly! At £47.79 for the original and more for the bamboo version it’s quite
a pricey piece of kit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
The Belly Bandit website recommends the best time to
measure for the right Belly Bandit size is at eight and a half months but as I’m
already in my ninth month it’s recommended that I measure myself and subtract a
few inches (three to five inches). Also because it’s best used right after
delivery, I'm going to need to pack into my hospital bag if I’m going to use
it, thus I need to quickly decide whether I’m going to take the plunge or not!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, what do you think, worth it or not?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
As much as I know I won’t be able to sleep anytime
soon, my poor eyes can’t take the laptop light anymore so until next,<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Now, I actually don’t remember when my wild child
started playing on my and his father’s phones but I'm sure it was a long time
ago. His especially taken to my iPhone as its touch screen and has many apps on
it. So, recently I’ve been thinking of getting him his own touch thingy-ma-bob!
And here is where I’m stuck as I’ve got two choices and really don’t know what
one to choose. It’s either the VTech Innotab 2 or LeapFrog LeapPad 2.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I’ve been looking at the specs for both and reading
lots of reviews but still can’t make up my mind. So I need your help to decide
as I wasn’t to make the purchase as soon as possible, because it’s my wild
child’s present for when his sibling makes his/her entrance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I like both of them for different reasons so I’ll
tell what I like about each one and maybe you can help me decide.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
The features that stand out and differentiate the
both for me are:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I like that the Innotab has a SD Card Slot which
allows you to expand the memory from the built in 4 GB to a massive 32GB. The LeapPad
doesn’t have the feature of increasing the built-in memory.</li>
<li>You can download your movies, pictures onto the
Innotab whereas on the LeapPad you can only download Leapfrog Movies which you
have to purchase. Obviously the idea of not having to pay for one strikes out
more.</li>
<li>The feature that the Innotab’s appearance can be
personalised using your own media is very appealing and yes it’s another thing
that can’t be done on the LeapPad.</li>
<li>The LeapPad has more learning/game apps available for
download than the Innotab, which is a key factor as I want my child to be able
to learn more than just have fun. I want him to learn through fun.</li>
</ul>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, what do you think? Both of them are around the
same price tag with a difference of £5.00. The Innotab is selling at £84.95 and
the LeapPad is selling at £89.95 at John Lewis<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Here are links to both of their product pages. Please
have a look for more information and help me choose:<o:p></o:p></div>

Okay, Recently I’ve been trying to teach my wild

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Basically, it’s an online reading program for
children from the age of four up to the age of thirteen. It has been developed by educational teachers,
writers and developers. The Reading Eggs program focuses on the phonics and
sight words. It teaches children how to read through several different
activities. It’s a subscription based program priced at £29.95 for six months
or £39.95 for 12 months.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I’ve signed up for a fourteen day trial to see how my
wild child gets on. We had a try today and found it to be good fun, the program
has an easy interface to use that my wild child managed to get on well. He didn’t
want to end the session. My first impression of it is that it looks like a very
well designed program and I can see it the program benefit my wild child
greatly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I shall let you know my final thoughts once we get
through this trial. In the meantime if you have any experience of this program
or any other children’s reading program please do share your thoughts using the
comment box below.<o:p></o:p></div>

I have no idea what this is and it’s so painful that
it didn’t allow me to sleep the whole of last night. I have not scratched it at
all and I haven’t touched anything so I don’t know what this can and what could
have caused it.</div>

I’m going to go see my GP about it tomorrow. I really

THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF MY PREGNANCY EATING DIARY! I’ve
enjoyed sharing what I’ve eaten throughout this week but to be honest I don’t
think I could do it for any longer if I had to. My diet is so irregular and I don’t
have set times for eating just eat when I’m hungry. So, finding the camera everytime
I’ve decided to eat something has been quite frustrating at times, especially
when it’s early (five o clock) in the morning or just after I’ve woken up due
to feeling hungry.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Anyway, so here is what I ate today:<o:p></o:p></div>

This is what I ate for dinner, Boroi Tenga, now that’s
what this dish is called. It’s a watery broth made with a certain type of dried
berry called Boroi and small fish called Khakia which are both native to my
homeland, Bangladesh. We eat the broth with rice. I love this dish and it’s one
of my favourites since I’ve been a child so I’m really glad that my wild child
loves it too. However, wild child’s father doesn’t take to it much not because
it doesn’t taste nice but more because its water based!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
:-•:*"*:•.-:¦:-•*
Greetings *•-:¦:-•:*'''*:•-:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Annoying is the word that springs to my mind when I
try to describe my 35<sup>th</sup> week in one word. To describe it in several
words I’d use “annoying”, “disappointing”, “frustrating” and the list can go
on. Why, has my 35<sup>th</sup> week been so annoying? Well, where shall I
start….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Firstly, I’ve been feeling really unwell this week
and that’s limited what I’ve been able to accomplish. As I only had five weeks
left until my due date I planned out what I need to do each week in order to
have everything ready before my unborn sprog makes his/her entrance. But, due
to excruciating pain in my pelvis, severe fatigue and the occasional
subluxation I haven’t been able accomplish this week’s targets!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Secondly, one of the hobs on my cooker is not working
and that’s the hob that I use the most due to being the largest and being in
front. So, not being able to use it has been very annoying as it’s takes longer
to cook on the other hobs!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Then, there’s today. I thought my last bit of crucial
baby shopping will be done by wild child’s father but I just found out that it’s
not possible today. Worse bit is I wasn’t even given a reason so that’s really
annoyed me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Despite all the things that have been annoying this
week, I have managed to complete all my labour preparations (click <a href="http://trinketoftreasure.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/my-hospital-bag-is-packed_9.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to have
a look at my labour bag). <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
My unborn sprog is as active as usual, at times a bit
too active which have caused me quite a bit of discomfort. Other than that I think
we’ve all gone passed being excited and now we’re more anxious than anything.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
This was my annoying 35<sup>th</sup> week, how was/is
yours?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Now then my lovelies, as I’ve been really poorly
today, my food intake has been quite different. Well, not different because it’s
food that you’d eat because you’re feeling poorly. No, it’s different because
it’s food that I couldn’t make myself due to being poorly, Take-away!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I do like a good take-away but today’s reason for take-out
has been because I just didn’t want the hassle of having to cook or prepare
food. Just wanted someone else to do all the hard work so I could just relax
and eat!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, I won’t keep you waiting here is what I fed my
poorly self today:<o:p></o:p></div>

Not being able to sleep until six o clock in the
morning due to the horrendous pain in my pelvis meant I slept through the
traditional breakfast and lunch time. So, I tried to eat some Doner kebab at
three in the afternoon but my appetite had disappeared and I couldn’t each
much. On top the kebab was actually one of the worst kebabs I’ve come across,
very dry and tasteless!<o:p></o:p></div>

Managing to take another nap I decided I had no
energy to cook and I really felt like a PIZZA. So, we ordered in and this I thoroughly
enjoyed. It was a thin crust pizza with onion, green pepper, mushroom, jalapenos,
pepperoni and black olives. We had side orders of BBQ wings and garlic bread.
Oh do I feel stuffed after that meal or what.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Well, that’s all for me today. Tomorrows my last day
of My Pregnancy Eating Diary so I’m quite upset about how quickly this week has
gone by. But to be honest it’s been quite time consuming taking pictures of
everything I eat and I don’t think I could do it on a regular base.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Until tomorrow,<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Yes, it’s been another one of those days where I’ve
been in excruciating pain all day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
It all started about two AM this morning, when I started
feeling really light headed and experienced pain in my lower tummy. Initially I
put it down to the tuna mayo I had just gobbled down but then I realised it the
pain was more like cramps. I started praying that it wasn’t contractions and
that my baby was safe but the pain went on for about fifteen minutes and then
it just disappeared. However, by that time my head was so light that I felt
like I was floating in mid-air, I tried to work the feeling to my advantage by
trying to go to sleep. But, when I eventually thought I was about to fall
asleep I got pain shooting into my pelvis and hip and I couldn’t lie down. So, crouching
down on the floor beside the bed with a head that I couldn’t hold up still was
the only position I felt comfort in and eventually at six o clock in the
morning, I somehow fell asleep with my body on the floor and head resting on
the side of the bed!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, since six o clock in the morning up until now, I’ve
been in bed most of the time awake trying to sleep. Every time I’ve managed to
fall asleep some part of my body has signalled discomfort which has woken me
up!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
That’s my day, how has your day been?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Anyway, I’m going to quickly type up today’s entry
for my pregnancy eating diary then call it a day. So until tomorrow,<o:p></o:p></div>

For Breakfast, I ate a piece of French toast and with
that I had a cup of tea. French toast is a weird one for me as sometimes I like
it so much that I can two/three slices and at other times even the first bite
just tastes horrible. Today was a case of the former it tasted really good, but
I knew I’d feel bloated if I ate more than just one slice.<o:p></o:p></div>

For dinner, we had Chana Masala (chick peas cooked in
a spicy dry gravy) with rice, paratha and a cucumber & red onion salad.
This is one of our signature vegetarian dishes at our humble abode. I personally
find chickpeas to be so filling that once eating it, you realise that you don’t
always need meat/fish to feel like you ate A PROPER MEAL!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
:-•:*"*:•.-:¦:-•*
Greetings *•-:¦:-•:*'''*:•-:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
This question is for all mummies out there with two
or more children. How did you or would you answer “mummy, where did the baby
come from?” “Mummy, how did the baby get inside your tummy?” and the ultimate
one “how is the baby going to get out of your tummy mummy?” when asked by your
little one/ones?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
These are the questions my wild child has been asking
since he found out “there’s a baby inside mummy’s tummy”. I’ve tried to answer them correctly as much
as I can each time I ask, but my answers seem to always lead onto other
questions which I ultimately leads onto me thinking “what do I say, how do I explain
this one?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
For example let’s take the first question:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I’m asked “mummy,
where did the baby come from?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
my answer to that is “it came from abby (daddy)” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
but then I’m asked “did abby have it in his tummy?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
My answer is “no baby, it was somewhere else”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
My wild child insists on knowing where and asks “Somewhere
else where mummy?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I answer “it was in one of abby’s privart parts”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Then the one where I get stuck, “how did it get
inside you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Now my answer to that is “it’s something that adults
do and you will know when you’re older!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
The questions don’t stop there but I always manage to
change the subject or diver his attention somehow, but why do I feel guilty about
leaving him confused? Is there a proper way of explaining the human
reproductive system to a four year old?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, I want to know how you mummies out there
explained it to your child/children or did you avoid the subject on the whole?
Please share as it might help me explain this a bit better to my wild child as
right now I’m pretty sure he knows that there’s more to it then “mummy’s
telling him”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Anyway, I’m going to go and write up the last of
today’s post which is Day Five of My Pregnancy eating Diary. So stick around to
see what I fed my tummy today.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Good evening, how are you today? Since yesterday, I
haven’t been feeling too great. Nothing serious just tired, weak and a little
subtle than my usual self. I decided to spend most of my day in bed today
hoping I don’t over exhaust myself even more. Somehow that one decision led on
to a trip down nostalgia lane.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Watching tele while in bed with my wild child this
morning, well watching Fireman Sam took me back to small twitter conversation I
had yesterday. The conversation was on the topic of children’s programs from
our childhood, what we remembered, what were our favourites etc. And this whole
trip down nostalgia lane inspired me to share a tiny slice of my childhood with
my wild child.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, as you can probably assume by now, we have spent
most of today watching children’s programs on the internet. Most of which are
no longer broadcasted on tele. I was a 90’s child and I must say I had my fair
share of good children’s program especially when I compare it to most of what’s
on these days. However, I’m not going to go on about every program that became
a part of my childhood, I’m just going to share a special few:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Sooty & Co.</li>
<li>Wizadora</li>
<li>Fun House</li>
<li>Bernard’s Watch</li>
<li>The Queen’s Nose</li>
<li>Art Attack</li>
<li>Danger Mouse</li>
<li>Sabrina the Teenage Witch</li>
<li>The Demon Headmaster</li>
</ul>

yours and do you share them with your child/children?<o:p></o:p></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">:: The Ennis Fitness Gym Ball, My Relief for SPD, Sciatica & Back Pain ::</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The Ennis Fitness Gym Ball has
been vital in my management of the pain and agony. At times it’s the only thing
that’s helped. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without it. When I was
diagnosed a few months ago with SPD and Sciatica by my GP, She and my midwife
advised me to get a gym ball or birthing ball. I was told to sit on for at
least half an hour a day and also when I’m in pain, that it would help take the
pressure of my pelvis and back. And fiddlesticks, were so correct! Until I got
it and tried it I was cynical that “a gym ball” would help me with the pain and
my previous experience of joint pains has proved to me that most things don’t
help to take the pain away, they just distract me for a while or numb my nerves
so I don’t feel the pain. But, I still wanted to give it a go and I’d been
meaning to a get a gym ball for the last year to do some Pilates but never came
round to buying one so this time I had all the reasons to make myself go and
get one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
All the birthing balls that I looked
at where around the price of £15.00 to £20.00, I didn’t want to spend that much
money on something that I assumed wasn’t going to work or I wouldn’t make great
use of. So, I decided to buy a non-slip gym ball instead. My first choice was
the Davina Mccall Gym Ball but it was out of stock so I opted for this one, the
Ennis Fitness Gym Ball. The reason I opted for this one is because the reviews
where good and it was on sale for £9.74 (original price £12.99). And, am I glad
I got it, yes I am. I make sure I sit on it for at least half an hour a day and
I also sit on it when my pelvis plays up. And like my GP and midwife said it
literally takes all the pressure of my pelvis. After sitting on it my pelvis
and back actually feel stronger and not like they’re going to crack! It doesn’t
take the pain away for good but if you’ve suffered from SPD then you’ll
understand what I mean when I say that even the relief just when sitting on it
is a god-send!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
The Ennis Fitness Gym Ball is
all that it claims to be, 65cms height once pumped up, sturdy and of great
quality. It comes with a foot pump and the instructions to inflate and deflate
are very easy to follow. Personally, I can’t pump it up without my ankle
swelling but wild child’s father does it in a jiffy. Some of the reviews I read
claim that the ball can only be pumped to 55 cm not the specified 65cm but we
haven’t had that problem. I found it’s stays inflated for at least four to five
days with me, my wild child and his father using it daily (well myself using it
and them playing on it). It looks like a quality piece of gym equipment but I would
prefer brighter colours. However, that’s just my preference.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
So, if your suffering from SPD,
Sciatica, Back pain and don’t have one of these then do yourself a favour and
get one of these as soon as possible. Honestly, I can’t justify the relief the
Ennis Gym Ball provides in words. You just have to try it. Even, if you’re just
looking for a good gym ball or birthing ball then the Ennis Gym Ball is a great
choice. I got mine from Argos and currently Argos is selling it for £10.39. So
if you’re interested in the ball then click <a href="http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9367885/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CSports+and+leisure%7C14419152/Trail/searchtext%3EENNIS+FITNESS.htm#pdpProductReviews" target="_blank">HERE</a> or pop down to your nearest

Today’s coming to an end so it’s time to make the
entry for My Pregnancy Eating Diary. Would you like to know something weird? I
haven’t eaten as much as I usually do today or yesterday, it’s not intentional.
I actually have reasons to over eat (well I don’t really, nobody should have
reasons to over eat) but I’ve been quite stressed out the last few days and
food is my comfort. So, I don’t understand what’s happened to my appetite?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Anyway, I’m going to have to do some further
investigation on that matter but for now here is what I ate today:</div>

This is Some Lamb Mince curry which I ate with two
slices of bread at five o clock in the morning!!! Talk about crazy. For some
odd reason I woke up really hungry and it wasn’t peckish hungry, it was more
like “GIVE ME SOME FOOD NOWWWWWWWWW!” so this is what I ate. Very filling but I
think I fell asleep as soon as gobbled down the last bite as the memory is more
like a dream. But, it couldn’t have been if I took the picture!</div>

As I packed my Labour bag yesterday, I thought I’d carry
on and finish off all my labour preparations today (well, whatever I can do
before hand). Most of it has been packing but I did have to make care arrangements
for my wild child as well as do some last minute household shopping to make
sure everything is stocked up for after the birth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I didn’t go food shopping myself as it’s become too
much for me to handle so I sent wild child’s father with a long shopping list
(if only I could show his face when I handed him over the list, he looked like
he saw a ghost!). And, I’m not going to bore you with the long list but here
are a few of my cupboard essentials:<o:p></o:p><br />

I’ve chosen to pack two separate hospital bags, the
blue case is to take into labour with me (click <a href="http://trinketoftreasure.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/my-hospital-bag-is-packed_9.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to see what’s in this my
labour bag) but as I’ve only packed for one day (I hope I don’t have to even
stay that long!) I’ve packed another bag, the floral weekend bag with more
clothes and stuff that I’m going to leave at home and someone can pick it up/bring
it for me if I have to stay longer than a day. As it’s only a fifteen minute
drive from my home to the hospital I think it’s a practical plan, don’t you?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I’m hoping my wild child can stay at home with my
sister but in-case that’s not possible I’ve arranged for him to spend the time
at his grans and I’ve packed him an over-night bag with his essentials, his
blue rucksack.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Well, that’s all my preparations and oh do I hope I haven’t
missed anything. The only thing left which I can’t do until closer to my due
date or on the day I go into hospital is pack a bag full of food and drink for
me to take into labour with me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, that brings me to the end of this post, until
next time,<o:p></o:p></div>
