There’s no fool like a young, beautiful, pregnant fool!

Last night Jamie said one of the first things she wants to do as soon as she is no longer pregnant is lay on her belly, she described the experience as “here take the baby then in slow motion dive onto the bed and flop down” she did the slow motion sound also but I wasn’t sure how to type it?
Played an April fools joke on Jamie first thing this morning, it was very easy because she has loved the great weather over last few days and is looking forward to me being off for four days after today so we can try and walk the baby out of her. So when I said it had snowed over night and there was 3″ of snow on the ground she believed me, and I could tell her plans were disappointingly having to change in her head. I left her in bed with those thoughts and left for work, half way there I got the following message “It didn’t bloody snow you Douche! Jeez I was already planning a snow day!” lol
 
Today at work we were offered Gadget Show Live trade passes, but we can’t have the time off to attend F&%K I would love to go to that show even on trade day ahhh well maybe next year?
 
The garden is beginning to look like the Khmer Rouge Killing Fields every morning thanks to Sasha…! The following photo highlights this mornings “gifts” which I was told specifically not to photograph close up due to the horrific injuries and to spare those with a nervous disposition. We are aware that she likes to kill and usually leaves one body dump per night but this was a killing “spree”
 
 
 
Left work for four days at 5:30 and Jamie was waiting by the canal with Jack so we walked home together, when we got there she sat on the sofa and her belly began visibly moving so I put my hand on her and sat feeling Reagan move…ALOT! It’s amazing to think she’s in there and doesn’t know just how much we want to meet her.
 
Just had tea…CHEESE on TOAST I did mine the proper way using bread, cheese, HP sauce & (a new special little ingredient I have just discovered compliments the dish perfectly) tabasco sauce.
Cooked using, maybe surprising to some, a grill? until the cheese melts and begins to toast then allow it to bubble away for just the right amount of time until its time to season the dish with HP and Tabasco. A simple recipe I think and stood the test of time…a stalwart of English fair for generations….
 
 
 
Now Jamie has the same tea but couldn’t have been more different…wasn’t like anything I’d ever seen done? Cheese on toast done in a frying pan using Kraft Velveeta cheese, flown in from the states special for the meal

Piled on the wafer thin turkey ham, then cracked open the homemade pickles also flown in from America and thought it was the bestest tea she’d had for soooooooooo long! No HP sauce…you couldn’t make it up? Pam will read this and know she made her little daughter so very happy, a little taste of home put such a smile on her face! They always do, its like Christmas when one arrives, she glows the whole day after getting one. It’s just a shame you’ve never jumped out of one to surprise her. Anyway I digress…

 
Votes please English Cheese on Toast or ‘merican… you choose!
 
More drivel tomorrow

The calm before the storm…

For weeks Jamie has been saying she would like a bump photo, although we regularly take a photo of her she wanted one to be proud of and last night we got it! Thankfully she has given me permission to add it to my new blog, because it really does her and her bump justice so here it is:

I think you’ll agree that we nailed “The Bump” photo with that one? We took literally hundreds to get it but it was worth it! I decided last night was the night to get the shot because since last week Jamie has been having ‘Braxton Hicks’ contractions or as I like to call them ‘Branston Pickle’ contractions and it is in my opinion that we won’t have many more opportunities before they become proper full on labour. We went for a walk on Saturday afternoon and Jamie started feeling pain down low…so we called at the Kings Arms (obviously) where I had a pint or two and timed the pains at 35 minute gaps, later they stopped but they have continued daily since!
 
Talking of Saturday I installed our new BEER fridge in the garage! A magnificent idea of Jamie’s and kindly donated to us by me mum. Now we just have to fill it and enjoy…
 
I suppose if this is going to be “My Life Changing” I’d better tell you what my life is like now, and may not have much chance later. My working day is pretty much the same I always get up at 7am (I don’t need an alarm clock) and switch the PC on and look at BBC to get the news then I take Jack our dog and let our cat sasha in (more about them later) eat breakfast and take a shower, before I leave for work Jamie and me have a little cuddle time. I work 9 till 5:30 but come home for lunch. When get home at night we spend an hour chatting and doing not a lot then I walk Jack before showering and then we make tea, I always wash up while Jamie does her thing and the rest of the night is spent together in front of the telly. The only change from that would be Wednesdays when I play pool (more of that later too)
 
Weekends are great we tend to sleep in a little although for me that’s 8:30 because I hate lying in bed when I could be up doing something. The filter or drip coffee is a tradition for breakfast and the morning paper while we sit and eat. Pottering is my favourite thing to do and I get so much done when I potter but weekends are together time until 4 o’clock on a Sunday when I go to the pub which sounds sounds horrible to write but up until later pregnancy we did that together also. Sunday night is about watching telly on the sofa and then bed to start it all over again.
 
There’s a lot more to our life than those two paragraphs but generally the framework is right there. My future blogs may not be as long as this one but the blog ball is rolling and along the way I hope to tell you how my and our life changes over the next year.
