Today I finally got the answer for my job interview. I didn't get it and even thought I had expected this answer (competition was fierce) it still bummed me out a bit... it was, professionally, the only thing going in a positive direction..
I am grateful that my husband could lend me his ear and shoulder to vent-off and also brought me this beautiful flowers:
Bo, thank you for all the support you give me!
Always grateful for thrifty finds!
Also grateful to whomever decided to make this donation to my favourite second-hand shop!
I plan to breastfeed and hopefully I will be able to. This bottle- and jar- warmer will make our life a bit easier (we don't have a microwave) when we have to warm-up expressed milk. Besides helping mums increase milk production, according to what I read, expressing milk will also allow the dad to occasionally take over feeding thus giving the mum some me-time but specially strengthening the dad-baby bond.
3 euros!! and yes, as the sticker says in order!!
I am very grateful for the kilos of rhubarb that my parents-in-law brought us a while back.
Besides the rhubarb curd I have also made rhubarb jam. I am quite happy with the final result, not too sweet with a hint of orange. It goes extremely well with goat cheese.
You can find the recipe I followed here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/86346/rhubarb-jam/print/?recipeType=Recipe&servings=32

The Mindful project day #323
Grateful that my baby is OK inside my tummy!
So I am past my due date (AHHHHHHHH) but I am still feeling well!
I've had some pre-labour signs such as belly-cramps and "butt-contractions"(where the baby presses very hard on the tailbone) but they are not rhythmic so they came for a while and then they are gone for a day or 2. The midwife says they will wait 10 more days and then I will probably have to be artificially induce. This is an option that I am not fond-off as I have read that with artificial induction labour is lengthened since its not something your body "choose" to go into.
To naturally induce labour I am walking a bit everyday and using the stairs more often, quite an achievement as we live in the 8th floor!!!!. Of course sex is also said to help... doesn't hurt to try right ;) plus we are considering Stripping the membranes. In this procedure, the midwife will try to gently separate the amniotic sac from the wall of the uterus which releases hormones that can trigger contractions.
Fingers crossed!!
That is it for now, wishing you all a great week!
