Pregnancy Update - #3- 33 Weeks

How far along? 33 Weeks

Maternity clothes? Oh yes. Had to purchase some new black jeans the other day. As we all know black is slimming and I really like black jeans anyway. Thank you H&M (£14.99). And I purchased some nice new tops from Topshop. One in a Khaki Green, which is a colour I am loving at the moment. Pretty disappointed that both the New Looks in Norwich has discontinued their maternity range. Very Annoying New Look! I can fit in a lot of my old tops still though just a nice tight bump showing fit!

Stretch Marks? Been pretty lucky that I have only just noticed the tiniest of little marks on my muffin top area :( I had some there when I was younger from a nice little growth spurt I must of had. And they didn't bother me much then. I have been given a nice load of cream to fight this (review coming soon)

Sleep? Honestly, pretty well. started having crazy dreams. I get up a couple of times a night to go to the toilet (thank you little bug pushing on my bladder)

Best Moment this week? Having lunch with my sister and dad and playing with my sisters new puppy. Also Brad is progressing at work still which always makes me happy. And at the weekend (so not this week really) we had the baby shower and got so many lovely gifts from family and friends and had a great time with everyone!

Miss Anything? Alcohol. So badly I could kill for a beer.

Movement? Pretty much constant but every time I lay down to nap or sleep, the kicking and wriggling starts, And the hiccups the other day

Food Cravings? Chocolate. I honestly cannot go a day without my fix. Also cold custard with whipped cream and sprinkles. a dessert I always used to eat at my grandmas when I was a kid.

Anything making you feel sick or queezy? Not really. been very lucky I have had absolutely no morning sickness at all. I used to be an avid coffee drinker, but I have gone off that somewhat.

Gender? A boy

Symptoms? not a lot. Bit of discomfort in my back. sometimes period type pains

Belly button in or out? Still in! I hope it stays that way!

Happy or moody? I was extremely moody yesterday as I had really bad toothache as well. generally very happy though. Pretty tired a lot of time though

Looking forward to? Strangely enough food shopping this evening! we are trying to be healthier so lots of vegetables to pick up! And in a few weeks we are planning on going to do the studio tour of harry potters wizarding world!

Only a few more weeks to go! Follow my other social media accounts (links below) to be the first to know everything

Harry Potter Baby Shower

As some of you may know I am pregnant, expecting a little boy and have a nursery that is harry potter themed. So the weekend just gone my sister decided to roll with this theme and do a harry potter themed baby shower! She did amazingly! There was so much thought and detail in everything!

The Cake my sister got for us was unbelievably amazing, if you are in the Norwich/ Norfolk area then I definitely highly recommend Haleys cake kitchen

We got so many gifts for our little boy, it was completely and utterly humbling, and wonderful to know how many people are so caring towards this little boy already! We cannot thank everyone enough! I know have so much to do to organise everything and actually try and fit the majority of it in the nursery!

It was such a lovely day with all our families gathered together for the first time really. Its is also pretty scary now that as it is September that our little fella will actually be here next month!!

Have you every been to a baby shower? what was your favourite thing about it?

Pregnancy Update #2

I am now 9 weeks away from B-day! (thats baby day or birthing day!) woah, pretty scary now. I'm getting huge! I headed to my midwife appointment on Wednesday and all again is well, the only concern being that my iron levels have dropped slightly, so now I am having to eat more red meats and spinach apparently! all high in iron. (I hate spinach though). I could opt for tablets but I have such a struggle swallowing them and I would rather try raise my iron levels naturally. It also gives some meaning behind to why I have been just so tired and out of breath recently.

Also say goodbye to the blonde hair, I have dyed it back to brown, for pure low maintenance issues, which means I do not have to worry about it, with the baby due so soon I do not want to worry about how it looks, I am also planning on going and getting it cut to about shoulder length in the coming weeks again, just to make life a bit easier. Not that I particularly worry about my beauty regime I do not want to be hassling with taking ages to straighten my hair or curl it. So be prepared for a post coming about my new hair colour!

Pregnancy Update

So I am not sure I have addressed my pregnancy in full to internet, I chose to not even upload my scan photo to my own Facebook. So well here it is. I am now 27 weeks and 3 Days Pregnant. I have about 88 more days till this little fella is born. We also found out the sex of the baby, as we felt finding out I was pregnant was a surprise enough, we wanted to be prepared on one aspect of this pregnancy. Despite the fact that this pregnancy was unplanned we are extremely excited about it, after the initial shock and getting our heads wrapped around it!

Bump progress at 27 weeks!

I haven't taken many pictures of my bump along the way, mainly cause i would say its only just become noticeable as me even being pregnant! (before I just looked a bit chubby). I have my next midwife appointment next Wednesday, which is all very exciting! 

I will just say the heat and being pregnant do not mix well, I am constantly exhausted at the moment. I have been very lucky with this pregnancy so far (touch wood) I have had absolutely no morning sickness. There was one time I thought I would throw up due to smelly whitebait! so far very good, and I am looking very much forward to meeting this little dude now! Will keep this updated as my bump grows bigger and more pictures will come, only 2 and a bit months to go now!!

Planning for a baby!

This is the hardest thing to do, like learning to read and write all over again. You have no idea what you will need for a baby. A cot is an obvious essential but what people don't tell you is other little things, which I have come across from a light spot of googling! i still have a list as long as my arm of bits and pieces i need!!  here are some pictures from the journey so far of the small things we have purchased and the cutest little polo shirt! As my fiancée mainly just wears polo shirts its a like father like son thing!

 Babys first picture!!

Can you imagine anything being small enough to bathe in this??

Beautiful storage options bought for us by my fiancées sister.

Straight from my auntie in Canada before we knew the gender!

Tiny polo shirt

If you would like to know where I got some of these please just leave me a comment or message me on one of my many social media's!!
