I guess I have become all enthused with these guidelines here. Yes I am bored to tears, Bruce has not come home, and Ben is sound asleep. A real angel! I do want to watch the olympic finals soon, so I'll make this quick. :-) I have gone through the NZ food safety guidelines Emma gave me, and to my dismay, I have to limit my caffeine intake. I do lurve my coffee....oh well, as long as I have 2 cups per day, perhaps.
Another thing - interesting! That these guideleines suggest taking an 800mcg supplement! Not 400mcgs, as the "NICE" guidelines state. Hhhmm...I'll go with the 800mcgs. I should check with Emma on that one :-)
Another thing is mercury in fish! I guess I have to steer clear from those big fish, particularly from geothermal waters, like shark, swordfish and marlin. I can't eat too many oysters and "queen scallops" due to cadmium concentrations...Yeah right.....I really have that sort of lifestyle :-) Well I have my 3 page list of what to eat and what not to eat courtesy of the NZ food safety guidelines.
Well, I guess I've got to get rid of the cat :-(. The guidelines say cats carry toxoplasmosis in their poo. I suppose if I get Bruce to empty the cat litter and do the gardening, we could keep "Banjo".....Bruce will be happy......I'm sure....
Gotta go, Mahe drysdale's racing!!!

Hi there, Bruce here.
Well, it was great to meet the midwife last week. She is a wealth of information. I know we are in safe hands. I’m so pleased we went out for a fantastic dinner BEFORE I read all the literature she gave us!
Those NZ food safety guidelines are so scary. I know they are guidelines but it is so scary to think you could kill your baby with a dodgy Prawn or even a Ham sandwich! I have read them cover to cover. Emma has even given me a link to view these online. That way if Shannon isn’t sure, she can call me!
My big project this weekend was to toilet train Banjo! He is such a gorgeous cat – but no more litter tray for us! I have brought a box of kitty treats – he is such a fast learner!
Thankfully the garden isn’t a concern as the weather has been too wet to attempt any weeding etc. we have always had a man to mow the lawns and do the edges, so I feel outside is under control. When the weather is better I will get Ben to help!
The duck feeding was a great success! I took Ben again this weekend, twice! We then had a fluffy at the local café for a treat. He is such a neat kid! I am loving our special time together. At first I felt guilty that I wasn’t spending time with Shannon, but she seems so happy that I am spending time with Ben.
Bruce,
Glad to hear that you are enjoying special time with Ben. Shannon must appreciate the timeout. A chance to rest!
That smart-cat Banjo!
