Okay so yesterday was a good day. I’m not really doing much now as its time to wait for baby to come and I’m a bit too bumpular to move far. My uni pal Vicky had arranged to come and visit yesterday and I had arranged for a delivery from Donald Russell. Both of these were lovely things I was looking forward to - Vicky as she is great company and the meat as I’m really missing blue/rare steaks and Bryan has promised me one when I get out of hospital with baby. Donald Russell does lovely, lovely meat so this will be the perfect reward for that whole labour/birth thing I apparently have to go through! You aren’t supposed to eat pink meat whilst pregnant you see, so I have had to have meat cooked on which is a travesty to me!
So the meat arrived and about 5 minutes later Vicky did too. As my delivery was here we were then free to go out for lunch so after “morning coffee” and a lovely homemade rock bun that Vicky had brought with her we wandered down to Raspberry Cheesecake for lunch out - and a wee cake…!
When we got back there was a card from UPS saying I missed a delivery but it was at a neighbour’s so once Vicky left I wandered over and collected my parcel - another pressie for baby bump! This time it was a baby listening monitor which I had ordered from a website that I do surveys for and get points in return. Points make prizes and hence we now have a lovely Tomy baby monitor that cost us nothing, hurrah!
I then had a lovely evening with my hubby on the sofa, chatting and eating lovely dinner and watching tv. He had been offered a job during the day so we were discussing that and I was all proud at him impressing someone enough that they would try and poach him from his current firm - and yes, he has told his boss, and this post won’t get him in trouble - cause he’s a good and loyal employee and likes to be honest with folk.
At about 9.40pm we were watching an episode of Two and A Half Men that featured waffles and I expressed a desire for waffles. We don’t have a waffle iron so that was out but Bryan offered to make me pancakes as the next best thing. I exclaimed that I couldn’t possibly after the lovely lentils and lamb dinner he’d given me so he suggested I asked the good people of Twitter. There was unanimous support for this motion so he was sent to the kitchen forthwith! I had been told early on in pregnancy that I would get away with one irrational request for naughty food item at whatever time of the day and night and Bryan reminded me that I hadn’t used it yet and as it was only 4 days till baby was due I was running out of time!
Some time later (well the mixture needs to rest before cooking) I was served gorgeous pancakes, 1 at a time so they were each nice and hot, with banana and honey from the Isle of Man. Yummy! Spoilt little girl ahoy!
So that was - lovely visit from Vicky and home made rock buns; promise of gorgeous steaks; lunch out and choccie cake; free baby monitor; nice dinner and quality time with hubby; proud feeling of hubby being offered a job; AND pancakes!! Now that’s what I call a good day of being spoilt! Anyone would think it had been my birthday rather than my Mum’s yesterday!!
