Pregnancy Update: 34 weeks and lots of complications

I seriously wasn't expecting this, but... things got a bit complicated and I have been in and out of hospital for the past week or so. Oh... Where do I even begin? I am sooo upset and exhausted, I feel like I can't cope with this pregnancy anymore, but hey... fingers crossed it all goes well despite complications.

Pregnancy update (32 weeks) & Baby Girl Haul

I am 32 weeks pregnant and I am soooo ready to have this baby! Seriously... My bump is out of control and it is making me super uncomfortable, especially at night time. The only thing I can do to feel more human is to take a mid-day nap, but it's not always possible. It's not all bad though :)

Some of my pregnancy essentials

Pregnancy is usually a really lovely and magical time, but at some point everyone becomes a bit uncomfortable with their growing bump or experiences typical pregnancy symptoms. Here are some items that are making the final weeks a little bit easier for me.

Pregnancy update: 30 weeks

There was nothing interesting happening for the past couple of weeks, so I waited till my recent growth scan to update you on the pregnancy. I am actually surprised that I didn't get any extra scans in my 1st pregnancy, because I was measuring huge for dates and my private scan predicted a 9lb+ baby. Anyway... At least I know what to expect this time. 

Pregnancy update: 26 weeks

I wasn't going to write an update for this week, but I had a midwife appointment and an unplanned scan, so there is a lot to talk about and I like rambling about my pregnancy, haha :)  It's a long one, so grab a cuppa.

Pregnancy update: 25 weeks

Oh wow, only 15 weeks left till my due date. I am not sure, if I am ready, haha :) Having a cheeky little toddler who loves crawling into our bed in the middle of the night isn't ideal when you have a newborn and it's something I am really worried about. I am also worried that I won't have enough milk for the baby, like the last time. Scared that I will end up having a c-section, scared of the pain etc.

Pregnancy update: 24 weeks

This week was a bit of a roller coaster and if you are up to date with my posts, you probably know why. If not, you can read all about it here. I almost passed out when I was out on my own and it was really scary. I mentioned that I made an appointment with my GP to make sure everything is fine. 

Pregnancy is a scary time!

I wasn't planning to write this post, but after experiencing something super scary today, I just had to share my experience. I mentioned in my last update, that when I went for a walk to the shop with Zachary, I experienced really bad back pain and started getting contractions... Well... today was a totally different story and I have been in tears all day.

Pregnancy Update: 19-23 weeks

I am 23 weeks pregnant today and my bump is huge :) Which is great, as there is no confusion anymore. Still fat, but definitely visibly pregnant. I love having a round, firm bump and I love the way it looks in tight tops. We just came back from Poland and I am exhausted. Flying with a toddler while pregnant is hard work. He was well behaved on the plane, but the waiting and queues were a bit stressful. We met our beautiful niece and Zachary fell in love with her. He kept touching her little hands and kissing her face. Soooo cute!

Pregnancy update: It's a girl!

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know that when we went for our 20 weeks scan, we found ot the gender of our baby and... we are having a little girl. I am soooo excited! I have always wanted a boy and a girl, so I couldn't be happier with the news. Zachary will be an awesome big brother :)

Pregnancy Update: 17-19 weeks

I will probably start every update with the words 'I can't believe I am ... weeks', haha. Honestly... It feels like I just had my dating scan, but I am 19 weeks pregnant today! Whaaaat? My bump is growing and I can feel the baby move properly at least once/twice a day. It's just amazing and just as magical as the first time, although I have less time to think about it. Also... I am absolutely terrified of labour, because I now know what to expect. I don't think it can be worse than the last time though.... 

Pregnancy Update: 13-15 weeks

I can't believe I am almost 4 months pregnant! Just when I thought I was going to feel great for the next 6 months, me & Zachary got the flu (AGAIN!) and it was worse than ever! Apparently there are 4 different strains of flu around at the moment. Fab... I had fever for a couple of days, a bad cough, blocked sinuses and... wait for it.... conjunctivitis! Again, I caught it from Zachary, who brought it from nursery. I am sick of all the nursery germs! Grrrrrrrrrrr!!! He is going back on tomorrow, so I am worried that he will bring another disease home! It's hell! 

Pregnancy Update: 13 weeks (bye, bye 1st trimester!)

I am now officially in my 2nd trimester and I can honestly feel a massive difference in the way I feel. My nausea is gone, I am not exhausted anymore, I am not ill and I am actually feeling great! Fingers crossed it continues to go smoothly for the next 6 months. 

I am pregnant with baby No.2 :)

I couldn't be happier to finally share the news with you! I am 11 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and keeping the secret since finding out right before Christmas was torture :) haha. 

Life #1

Every time I try to focus on writing more beauty posts, I end up adding the most random content :) haha

Well... This time I am sharing some photos I took in April and May. You might know that I moved house recently, so my life has been pretty hectic. The full process was really exhausting, but it is finally over and I love our new house :) I still have some unpacking to do, but it can wait.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE ANGEL!

Hi everyone! :)

I mentioned my sons 1st birthday in my last post and I promised to add some pictures :) I can't believe he is one already! I made a cake for him and if you follow me on instagram you might have seen a very colorful one :) It didn't look very appetizing  so I took the icing off and covered it with a creamy frosting. Yummy!

I also made some cute cupcakes and some finger food. We had a lovely day and Zachary enjoyed himself. We got nearly a hundred balloons for him and he absolutely loved it.
