This weekend we had some friends around on Saturday that I haven’t seen since we found out. It was lovely to see them and the twins were loving playing outside with them…when cars arrived and out jumped my entire family for a surprise mini baby shower. Another of my good friends from my last antenatal …

Keep Calm – I’m having a baby THIS MONTH!
I’ve made it to September!!!!! This is the month the baby will come! I can’t believe how quickly it has happened. With all the stress taking up the majority of our pregnancy I don’t really feel like I have been able to enjoy it and it has all gone too quickly. I was at my …

Bank Holiday Whirlwind
This bank holiday weekend has been a bit of a chaotic one, but actually felt like we had some normality which was amazing. Firstly on Friday I had a chat with work, turns out nothing has been done for my maternity leave preparation, and an interim HR manager is now slightly panicked at sorting it! …
Worrying about the unkown
Friday morning was pretty emotional. I woke up pretty exhausted and just a bit teary. My husband came back into the room and found me just lying on the bed in tears. I’m just worried for our baby, that I’m doing the wrong thing. I know it’s horrible to think like that as I am …
A day of scans at UCLH
So today is a big day of scans! I’m at the UCLH all day with a booking in appointment at 10 and then onto an MRI before the scan with FMU. A long day but definitely worth it! I had the midwives round again yesterday. They were checking up on me and how I was …

Nursery complete!
So so soooooo proud of the husband for getting this done so quickly! He literally started the tree Friday and had it all painted by last night. He then set the cot up last night too after dinner, super human. We didn’t want to do the nursery or buy any of the bits until we …
Date night
So Mum sent us out for dinner today. Tbh when she suggested it I really didn’t want to go. My stomach is hurting, I’m tired and I feel a little over done today. But I’m so glad we did. We had gone to Aldi this afternoon to get bits for Sunday lunch tomorrow. My husband …
Feeling hot!
It is so hot today! This week is seeing temperatures of 37!!!!! I live in England. We are not built for this, no air con so lots of fans. Plus pregnancy and not being good in the heat anyway is not a good combination. My dress feels like it is stuck to me! But I …
