Salmon Dish

Did a yummy salmon the other day and it turned out really well. Simply diced an onion, sprinkled most of it at the bottom of a pirex dish, along with some garlic, then sliced some lemon and rested a few slices on top of the onion. Placed a couple of salmon fillets on top of this, added salt and pepper, some dill, a little more garlic and the remaining onion and placed a few slices of lemon on top of all this. Had a few mushrooms and spring onions that needed to be used, so sliced those and sprinkled over the top of everything. I put it in the oven on 200 for about 30-40 minutes (depending on thickness of salmon). I made my own sauce to go with this: heat some single cream in a saucepan (be careful not to overheat, as it will curdle), added a little milk, some freshly squessed lemon juice (about half a lemon as was only cooking for 2), some saly/pepper and a sprinkle of dill. Then made some mash and i either do salad with this, broccoli or green beans. We thoroughly enjoyed this meal Above is a picture of it before it went in the oven.

Last week was awful!

As many of you already know, i was in hospital last week for 4 days, it was awful! Blood clot on my lung, which has now gone due to many blood thinning injections! I'm still on the injections, just waiting to hear when i can stop having them.
Had the baby's growth developement scan on Friday and he is just fine, his tummy is back on track with the rest of him. Although he has a wide head! lol. His brain and everything measures just fine, but the sonographer looked at me and my husband and said the baby has his daddy's head, not mine, as mine is more rounded LOL. Due to this and my blood problems, i MAY have to have a C Section birth, but i am having another scan at 36 weeks and we will know more then. I am not sure which is worse, a C section or trying to push out a big baby with a big head! lol. But i would definately prefer a natural birth where possible, as the recovery time is soooo much quicker. Pray for me ladies.....
I have just gotten back from the doctors and she has signed me off from work until next Thursday, which is great. I am really enjoying having some time at home and relaxing. I am just taking everything in my stride and it is doing me the world of good. My feet and legs are'nt as swollen, my feet are'nt burning like before.... just wish the heartburn would go, but Gaviscon definately helps with that!!!! :)
I'm off to read some of your blogs now..... XxX

Today is my Friday.

Today is my Friday, even though it is Thursday really. That is because i have a much needed day off tomorrow. I am meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow and for the evening i am cooking a yummy Thai Soup. This will be my first attempt, so hopefully it will go well! I shall let you now.

I then have the usual Saturday but have the added bonus of my hubby having the day off, so he is taking me for lunch AND for dinner Saturday. Lucky me.... Since we finally got our new car a week ago (i have been without a car for 2.5 months) he has been making up for all the times we have missed out on going out. He is being very sweet really, i even got flowers last night and when i asked what i had done to deserve them, he simply said that i was carrying his baby and he knew how hard a time i have been having with it. . . And that he just wanted to make me smile :) which he definately did.

Sunday we are picking up the baby's pram and taking it to store at my nans. We'll have a cuppa with her and then off to visit one of hubby's friends. Then we are going swimming. We went last weekend and i really enjoyed it! I can't wait to go again, it did me a world of good.
