Flashback Friday - Birthday boy!

-
This time 2 years ago I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of our little man, he was already late but finally made his appearance on Friday 29th May at 11am.


I had been told to call the hospital at 9pm on the Thursday evening to see if they had a bed for me to go and be induced. I had been having some pains on and off all day so they told me to go in at 10.30pm.

I'm not going to write my 'birth story' for a couple of reasons, one it's all a bit hazy now and two I don't wish to traumatise Aaron again by making him read it!  Compared to many it was a problem free birth (assisted with ventouse and I had a few stitches but nothing to get all dramatic about) but Aaron bless him had really not wanted to be present at the birth and he was pretty much forced into it by his rather emotional/hormonal pregnant wife!

I'm so glad and so proud that he did against all his wishes stay with me for the whole thing, I don't think I could have done it without him.  (well I assume I would have done but you know what I mean!)

    Happy birthday Leo - what a cutie he was as a baby :)
    I had the ventouse with Burton and my OH didn't want to be there either, but he did and did with Jenson too. I didn't force him just made him feel guilty lol
    Lovely flashback xx

I've never written this blog as if no-one was reading it, although of course when I first started no-one was reading it as no-one knew about it.  I was trying to remember the exact reasons I started it, and I think the number one was to document our move to Cyprus,   I can't imagine that I would have thought anything else would have been worth reading but that would have been interesting,  I'd have certainly enjoyed reading someone else's story, and have done many times.  I also thought it would be something to do, and a great thing to look back on,  I realised it was an important point in my life,  new Mum and moving abroad.  I was right, I do enjoy occasionally looking back over old posts,  some I hate but overall I'm pretty proud of my blog.  I do miss it, and considered many times stopping and taking it offline.  I never wanted to officially end it though and so always left it here just in case.  Back in November 2022 I wro...

My best Slimming World recipe EVER! - Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake

Since going back to Slimming World at the start of January I've been making an effort to try some new recipes and keep varying my food every day. Although there is an endless choice when it comes to what you 'can' eat with Slimming World, like anything it's all too easy to fall into a habit of eating the same things day in and day out.  I have many SW cookbooks as well as a folder with lots of recipes that I've collected from the magazine over the years, I've actually made very few though! Last week I decided to try a new one out, and I wish I'd made it sooner! Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake was a massive hit with the whole family and possibly one of the best main Slimming World meals I've ever made! You need... For the meatballs - 500g extra lean pork mince 6 finely chopped spring onions Dried herbs ( I used about a teaspoon each of basil and oregano) 1tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp tomato puree For the sauce - 1 finely chop...
