23-24 weeks

Good response on facebook for this one...

Youngest Guests at Wedding

Hungry

10.30 am and just had my lunch. Still hungry though. Suppose it's too early for dinner..?

Yet this hunger is nothing compared to the first 14 weeks, as have mentioned. Where is the hunger coming from? And what are we craving?

Mainly: pasta, bread, corn, rich tomato casseroles on mash... and apples.

Had really strange dream last night that I was drinking whipped up raw eggs, this was referred to as eggnog. Clearly I have no idea how to make eggnog, there has to be more to it than raw eggs. Anyway - point was I didn't know it was raw eggs. Then woke up in panic for having done something to harm the baby. (If you didn't know, raw eggs are to be avoided in pregnancy)

Guess am feeling anxious about the holidays - we are going to a couple of parties and staying with friends and family - which means a lot of other peoples cooking. Watch out Beanie!

Week 20

... and feeling good.

Going to my yoga where we discuss possible acrobatic birthing positions - assuming of course one does not opt for an epidural. Do not think epidural is the done thing amongst Byron mothers...
Am undecided. Before turning life around and becoming a bit of a hippy - my dream-birth involved a team of doctors, a drip, and some abdominal surgery. Now... Would like for it to be natural. But also know self, and know I cope extremely badly with pain. Anyway is too early to start thinking about that...

Wardrobe Tidy

Clothes that no longer fit:

Clothes that do:

Farmwork...

Yeah. Just to the right of the gate.

Best friends.

My only job: paint the beehives! And watch other people work...

Garlic

Many months ago hubby planted some garlic. Supposed to be really easy to grow (heard that one before).

Anyway, time of harvest has arrived. Behold:

Here is our garlic in comparison with garlic from farmers markets:

Cute little thing.

Harvest Festival, Brisbane

Maximum street-cred with Wacken poncho.

Evacuated for a brief storm just after dark - view from the hotelroom. Then back to festival - weather was actually good most of the day. Rain was warm, had some sun - and no wind at all.

Highlights; Mondo Cane, Cake, Beck.

What's the deal with Sigur Ros..? Bit too pretentious for me... Made some hilarious comments to hubby during their set (strangely he didn't find them funny). What's not funny about naming a song "the mosquito" if the singing solo goes for 5 minutes like this "zzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"? (very hard to illustrate mozzie-sound in writing, but you know)

Vegan Icecream

Found recipe on Boels blogg: Vegan Glass.

Vegan Icecream.

Decided had to try it. Kind of doubled the recipe though. Actually kind of quadrupled it... (pregnant = hungry, etcetera)

Used one can of coconut cream, three large bananas, 4-5 tablespoons of cocoa powder and one passionfruit (could have easily used two though!). Mixed together with mixing stick and froze for a few hours - and... delicious...
