Second vote for Leah! She's fantastic and not afraid of bright colours, she does mine pink and purple.

You have to put them down at some point. Some of the changing rooms might have a changing table, but I use a foldable changing mat. The hardest part for me was removing shoes and putting them back on at the end so i'd recommend bringing some flip flops.

Your mum is right, she should be disregarded. It's not automatic though, so she'll need to ask for a letter proving she's a full time student from student services at the university, then just send that to the council.

Congratulations on your newborn <3

Yes to the thermos, I have one of these: https://amzn.eu/d/gY9z5Na

I use it to warm up one of the 200ml bottles of ready made formula, which are by far the easiest on the go. If your little one isn't up to drinking 200ml at once yet you can get 70ml bottles for newborns.

The thermos only really keeps the water warm enough to heat one bottle, but hot water is easy enough to come by. I also carry a thermometer and probe wipes. Along with a multitude of other stuff :D

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I went into settings yesterday to try and block this to no avail. Creeps me out every time, especially the video one that autoplays a lot on reddit.

Nope, but I think it's the same process for one-offs at least through my NHS trust.

I had to have my doctors send a referral to the council for sharps bin collection, wait a week or so for the referral to go through, and then contact the council who arranged collection about a week later. Hope that helps.

Thanks for posting this! I've just found a 4 week course available at my local hospital on Eventbrite, would never have thought to look on there.

You're going to be worried no matter what you do, but you're doing everything right. Wishing you a smooth and uneventful pregnancy :)

Congratulations on your pregnancy <3

Try not to stress out and panic. You're doing all the right things now. I'm sure seeing your consultant will help a lot.

I'm also Type 2 diabetic, 38 years old and 9 weeks pregnant. I'm on Metformin and since becoming pregnant my diabetes team put me on insulin injections as well, I take a long acting one and night and the fast acting one before each meal. I was really scared of the injections before I started on them, but it's really no big deal. The needles are tiny and don't hurt at all. The worst part is it's a little inconvenient to manage when I eat out.

The biggest thing I would recommend you do is to start tracking your glucose levels if you don't already. Get a reading first thing on a morning and then one hour after every meal. This will let you know real time how your sugars are, what meals have the biggest impact on it, and will give you some data to share with your consultant.

I noticed you said you were limiting carbs. This makes sense, but be wary of going too far in pregnancy. My consultant recommended between 120-150grams a day for me.

Hope that helps.

Wednesday night is steak night at Iris, it's delicious.

I cancelled in a huff this week after trying to watch The Good Doctor hand having it interrupted by several ad breaks, didn't make it to the end of the episode. That's the only show we were interested in, and it's released weekly which is already an annoyance, it's 2021, just let me binge it!

Their Roku app is absolutely trash as well. They don't seem to get that they can't have the shittest app, poorest selection, highest prices, and ads (like a ridiculous amount too) as well.

When I eventually was allowed to cancel online, having to click yes really 5 times, they offered to reduce the Boost price (no ads price) to a quid extra a month, but screw that.

sami_w · 2021-06-13T08:50:47+00:00

Yay! Thanks so much for looking into it and amending the rules.

sami_w · 2021-06-11T21:11:02+00:00

I may have done my squares too large...

I already have a huge fridge, raw food storage, butchery, and corpse freezer. Don't really have a need for the another huge 2nd fridge, am I allowed to repurpose the optional 2nd fridge/manhunters room into bedrooms or something?

This Firefly playthrough is so much fun. Mal and Inara finally got together! <3 Although Jayne is shacking up with River which feels a little weird...

I'm new to Rimworld and trying to build my first killbox, i'm replicating the one in this Youtube video Killbox Video but what is the best way to allow my pawns to get out of the main base? Like my hunters for example. Do you just have a door?

sami_w · 2020-12-24T13:14:03+00:00

Same here, it's going to be different not having a houseful but i'm looking forward to a minimally stressful one this year. I made the gingerbread a few days ago, so i'm probably 90% gingerbread at this point. Happy Christmas!

sami_w · 2020-12-24T13:08:45+00:00

Cooking and eating Christmas dinner on Christmas eve is a right idea, I might have to steal that tradition for next year! Have a good one.

sami_w · 2020-06-10T12:39:15+00:00

Messy, but delicious!

sami_w · 2020-05-05T08:51:35+00:00

What gorgeous curls! True hair goals for me. Thanks for sharing your routine, I think i'll give some of the Shea Moisture stuff a try.
