New Forest! Amazing!!!

Check out that view eh! This is just one of the scenic walks we took whilst in the New Forest for a couple of nights. We had such an amazing time. We did'nt realise we needed that break as much as we did until we left London behind and breathed out a sigh of relief!

We decided to switch off our mobiles, watched no tv, did'nt access the internet and we talked loads! You don't realise how much you don't Really talk when life is so so busy. But we really did catch up, held hands all the time, went for long walks in gorgeous surroundings (as you can see in the pic above) and ate really yummy food. Oh and we played Scrabble which was amusing, especially as English is my husbands 3rd language! lol

The cottage we stayed in was 300 years old and was well maintained. The people running the B&B were so friendly and they could'nt do enough to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. Would i stay there again? Definately! Infact, we are hoping to go back for a couple of days before the baby is born. This trip truly did me the world of good and it showed. Hubby said i looked totally relaxed and there was a twinkle in my eye within hours of us being there.

Everyone should go to New Forest just once and see how spectacular our country can really be. I was surprised in every way, and in all the good ways surprised for a change lol.

I'm going to upload a pic of the cottage and the grounds it sits in, but bet it goes to the top of the page, when i want it at the bottom really! Maybe someone can advise what i am doing wrong?

New Forest here we come!

It is Friday afternoon, i'm sitting at work with a pounding headache, i'm exhausted, pregnant and can't focus on anything for long! But hubby and i are off to New Forest for a couple of days on Sunday and i just can't wait and neither can he. We have been so busy with work, my tiredness has returned and i'm finding it difficult at times. I'm only 16 weeks pregnant, yet struggling again these past few days.
My boss said i can leave work at 4.30pm today, but i'll have to make up the hour next week :(
I feel so yuk that i am not going to Sainsburys after work, but going straight home to run a nice bath and just relax to ease the stress a bit and my headache.

I'm not sure if anyone even reads this blog anymore, may stop writing here.

Problems at work!

I have never had any problems at work, until now. It is all very complicated and would take far too long to explain.
I feel i have also been stabbed in the back by the opposites team, which i am now dealing with and thankfully have a very good boss who is standing by me.
My report on the whole incident was long, detailed and direct. In no uncertain terms i have explained that they will not be getting away with this and that i will take this to the Human Resources dept if necessary!
It has stressed me a bit and hubby is very angry with a couple of the girls here at work who have caused this. But i am just trying to relax and get on with my life, i have a baby to think about now.
But on the upside, i booked a week in Egypt for hubby and i to go in October, so i'm excited about that! :)

My 1st Baby Scan!

No amount of words can describe how i felt when i was watching my baby on the screen, it was amazing in every sense of the word! My hubby was dazed and his eyes would'nt leave the screen, he just kept saying Subhallah. It was a real joy to see his face, now the pregnancy is more real to him :)

I was stunned at how developed the baby really was, at how you could already count his/her little toes and fingers, the heartbeat, nose, mouth and eyes!
The baby was pretty chilled at the begining, probably having a nap and had it's right hand on it's cheek, just how hubby sleeps!!!! Was so cute. But after a while baby got fed up and kept giving us it's back and bum, was amusing to watch.

Hamdulillah everything with the baby appears fine and all is well so far.
Unfortunately i am still feeling sick, not at all feeling great today, but at least i can picture my baby now and oh yeah.... the shopping can begin!!!! LOL....

Clothes feeling a little tight now, so i have the perfect excuse to get some new trousers, especially for work. Must be sensible though, as alot of clothes will only be used for a while.

Have been feeling a little fed up this week, not helped by feeling tired alot. I'm exhausted, i would really love a break. Unfortunately we will not be going on a 'just me and hubby' holiday this summer, but we're off to Algeria in September. But would love a peaceful few days just me and him, away from everything, so we are hoping to go away end of August somewhere in the beautiful English countryside or to St Ives in Cornwall which looks stunning. Its just a matter of finding a cheap b&b that is still quite nice.

Roll on 5.30pm when it's home time eh! :)
