More spoilings!

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!

My one irrational request for food item in pregnancy

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!!
