Chit Chat – Second Trimester

Well here we are at 14+2 firmly on the other side of that wild first trimester. To say it was an emotional roller coaster would be an understatement, you can read more about that in my post No Sickness, No Problem?

My initial symptoms from early pregnancy (first 8 weeks) were sore boobs and a lot of burping. Those both passed and were replaced with exhaustion and tearfullness. I seem to be finding my stride more now though and have very few symptoms other than a growing belly! I’m still ‘craving’ dairy, cheese in particular.

Meal Plan Monday

So last weeks meal plan couldn’t have been more of a failure. We had the Mac & Cheese on Monday but Matt got an awful bug which Luisa then caught so I had my hands full (mostly of vomit) The only other meal that went as expected was our Sunday dinner of roast beef. YUM I used a Jamie Oliver recipe, it was great.

I mostly ate by myself this past week & had to shop in the local co-op as I don’t drive so my meal plan went out the window. Here’s a look at what I had.

Now that the patients are almost back to normal I’m hoping this week will go a bit smoother. We have Matts parents coming from Belfast on Wednesday so I’m not planning a full weeks meals as I’m not sure when we’ll be in the flat. Also they aren’t too fussed on our semi veggie state so this is how it looks so far…
