Welcome home, hope you had a lovely Holiday Mum2one?

Have had a bit of a spendy weekend

Today as we bought Pip (and I guess Pea in the long run too!) a sand/water table thats got a racing track on the lid and he's spent all day playing with it. At minute its filled with play sand but you can also put water and other stuff in it, I like to do sensory tubs for him to play with did Jelly the other week and also coloured rice so can use it for that too. Did the fatal "nip" to Mr Ts and came out quite a few ££££s lighter :eek:

Yesterday we went to surprise Bestie in Birmingham, had a really lovely day. He was VERY surprised to see us which was lovely Used 2 vouchers I had for 2for1 entry to the Sealife centre so all 4 of us got in for £35, no way was it worth the full whack though as it would have been just under £70 :eek:

For tea we've got homemade bread rolls made from Approved Foods cheapy breadmix and also a beef stew with dumplings, not the sort of food we should be having in August is it!!!!

Went for growth scan yesterday (ironically to check pea wasnt too big) and baby is measuring 4 weeks smaller than it should and hasnt grown since last appointment. She checked fluids and blood flow and all looked ok. Got to go back in 2 weeks and if not grown they will deliver early. Bit anxious to say least

Maybe pea heard about all the gluose tests and decided not to put any weight on, hope everything goes ok, you take care, xxxxxxxxxxxxx

pipsmum I wanted to say your an inspiration I have been reading your blog recently from the start and I think you have done amazing. Good luck with the impending pregnancy and well done to mr pips on the job.

Pips_Mum

Mum2one - Ha ha thats probably what happened!

Monkey - I am 32 weeks and 3 days now but Pea is only measuring 28-29.

Lucielle - Defo easier said than done but you all know me by now I dont really stress too much over stuff I can't change. Checked with consultant that there was nothing different I could do and apart from laying on my left not right there wasnt, so all down to Pea now!!

Lavinia - Thankyou, you make me blush!

Not much to report really, Mr Pips job is going ok but he is really tired when he gets home now. Ironic I stopped my job due to the long commute only for him to end up doing one
They've switched me over from JSA now to Maternity Allowance which will be paid until end of April so thats nice to know.

Received a cheque for £1000 from the sale of the shares I had from old job, going to stash it for Emergencys rather than pay anything off with it.Pip can go back to Nursery for his free hours week after next so I will get some rest time back! Its been lovely having him about all day but man does he wear me out!!! :eek:
