Latest baby purchase:


Latest Bump picture at 22+5 wks:

Also managed to finally get a cheap winter coat from Matalan. Not maternity one as they seem hardto come by but one that only does up at the chest so bump will have room to grow! Also finally indulged in some bigger bras, could probably still go a bigger size! Jesus! And got some new pants and maternity leggings. A productive shopping weekend.

Also got my free 2nd bounty pack with samples and magazines in, my free Emma's Diary pack with samples and vouchers in, a free changing bag and mat from boots. I have already had a free huggies starter kit with nappies, hat and wipes in from Asda. And I've had a free bottle, got another 2 on the way. A free cuddly cow, a free cuddly polar bear on the way. And I've yet to collect a free pack of nappies from Tesco and a mum and baby bundle from sainsburys which includes nappies etc....SO MANY FREEBIES! :)

Heartburn is back again with a vengeance. I have a bottle of aniseed gaviscon liquid and it's vile.

Also had flu jab on Friday at my 22wk GP and nurse appt. They ever so kindly fretted over whether the one I had injected was safe for pregnant ladies AFTER they'd done it. THANKS! Heard baby's heartbeat, measured my bump and all seems well. May have a UTI so sample has been sent off and need to remember to call for results this week incase I need antibiotics.

Have been selling stuff on ebay too, very happy that I'm recouping some of the money I've spent on bloody maternity stuff. It's so damn expensive!!

Right, now to go for my swig of gaviscon and have some chocolate and milk. It might help heartburn, if not, I want chocolate and milk anyway, it's a good enough excuse.

Well we swapped our Graco travel system for a smaller, lightweight pram the Quinny Zapp Xtra, as my back and hips are sore and weak, there's no way I'd have been able to carry the Graco one up and down the stairs with bags and baby too...so it just made sense. It also made sense as Kenny's sister had given us a practically brand new Graco car seat and base so we can use that now as the Graco travel system came with one so the free one was going to waste! And they don't sell on very well unfortunately. I am so exciting about "pimping my pram" as there's places that made custom footmuffs and accessories for the Quinny Zapp Xtra. Thinking black footmuff with a funky purple skull ;) lol Here it is :)
And here's my latest little purchases for baby :) couldn't resist the tigger stuff!
Trying to get a video of baby kicking as I can see my belly popping right up, but she's camera shy....
