Bump Update: Week 27

Sorry for the pajama bottoms but I'm wearing a dress, so it's that or my pants ;-) ha ha. Also sorry for the rubbish lighting, it's dark when I'm home from work now! Crazy shenanigans.

Some more apologies for you ha ha - I'm sorry I've been useless (again!) the last few days with my blogging, it's just SO exhausting being back at work that I haven't had the energy. I'm on a rubbish shift this week, doing 12:30 - 8:30, so in the mornings I'm having a small lie in and then doing boring things like chores, and by the time I've caught the bus home and had some dinner after work it's 10pm and I'm exhausted. But I promise I'll do my best to update this as much as possible!

And here's my favourite thing to blog about - my bump update! Woop woop. Also I realised today that for some reason I've missed out a few questions in the last few bump updates I've done, so there are a few new things in there this week :-)

How far along? 27 weeks and 1 day! 

Total weight gain: Oh my God I actually weighed myself the other day ha ha. It was when I was in England (I'm back home in Gibraltar now) and I was at my Nan's house. I was doing a wee (nice) and I noticed she had some scales in her bathroom and I couldn't resist! I just checked my first bump update where I'd written my starting weight, which was either 9 or 9 and a half stone at 12/ 13 weeks pregnant (I couldn't remember ha ha) and when I weighed myself the other day I was exactly 10 stone. So I'm pretty sure I must have weighed closer to 9 than 9 and a half pre-pregnancy, because I'm a big fatty boom boom now ha ha. So there ya go! I can actually answer this one for once :-) I've gained between half a stone to a stone since the start! I've got no idea what's normal though.

Maternity clothes? As I'm back in Gibraltar now and the weather is still hot here I haven't been wearing my maternity clothes, and instead I'm back in my floaty summer dresses that still sort of fit me ha ha. But as soon as it starts to cool down I'll be back in my maternity trousers and big jumpers :-)

Stretch marks? This is one of the new questions! And no I don't have any yet (touch wood). To start with I was using Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula For Stretch Marks every day to try and keep them at bay, but then I got lazy ha ha, and for ages I stopped using anything on my tum. However at the moment I'm putting on The Body Shop's Beautifying Oil (the coconut one, yum yum) when I get out the shower just because it smells so delicious and I love rubbing bumpy (it does nothing for stretch marks ha ha). But my Mum never got stretch marks so I'm hoping it's in the gene pool, or I'm just not fat enough yet!

Sleep: Mixed reviews! I've got a cough and a cold at the moment so that's kept me up a bit lately, but last night I slept sooo good. I only work up to wee once (which is good for me ha ha) and the only other time I was disturbed from my dreaming of cream eggs (fatty) was when I woke myself up scratching my mozzie bites - the evil things!

Best moment this week: Ermmmm I don't know to be honest. I had to stay goodbye to both mine and Sam's families which was really sad, and I'm back at work after two lovely weeks off so that's all pretty negative ha ha. But I have had a nice time being back in Gibraltar with Sam :-) I love our little home together!

Miss anything? Another new question, and the answer is - no nothing! I don't miss drinking alcohol AT ALL which I thought I would. I guess the only thing I miss is a strong bladder ha ha.

Movement: Another new one - yay. And yes, lots and lots and lots of movement! I LOVE feeling her kick as it's like having a secret friend trying to communicate with me ha ha. She's so active in the mornings and evenings and quieter during the day, although she still kicks quite a lot throughout the day too. Especially when I'm eating chocolate ha ha! She's got a sweet tooth like me :-)

Food cravings: Anything sweet I can (and sometimes will) eat aaaaall day long! I could easily have five puddings instead of a main meal in the evening ha ha. But no real big cravings! Nothing mad like coal or rubber yet ha ha.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really, no. I still haven't attempted eating chicken without breadcrumbs though :-)

Gender: Girly girly!

Labor signs: Noooo. BUT I have been having Braxton Hicks contraction things... I think! My belly goes rock hard and feels tight and strange for about 30 seconds, and I've been having that randomly for a few weeks now. However at first I just thought it was growing pains, but I just happened to read somewhere about Braxton Hicks the other day and it sounded exactly the same as what I've been getting ha ha! But they're nothing to do with real labour :-)

Symptoms: Urgh, lots of rubbish symptoms this week. I already suffered from excess acid in my stomach pre-pregnancy (I have this thing called Non-Ulcer Dyspepsia, which is where my stomach is overactive and produces too much acid) so since I've been pregnant it's been getting worse and worse, but this week it's been a killer. Rennie is the only thing that seems to help, or if it's not too bad then a glass of milk does help, but it's so horrible and painful! I've also been getting the WORST shoulder pain ever, especially when I've been sat at work all day. And bleeding gums, constant wees and a lot more tiredness the last few days. It's all fun and games this pregnancy malarkey ;-)

Belly button in or out? IT'S NOW A PROPER OUTTY. Yep, the day has come at long last and it finally popped out properly! I'm not sure how I feel about it to be honest ha ha, it looks mental. But I've been told it will go back in after I've given birth ha ha.

Happy or moody most of the time: I was anticipating being a miserable thing this week after leaving my family, but I've been having such a nice time with Sam that I'm super duper happy!

Looking forward to: Two days off work on Thursday and Friday ;-) I'm so excited to be a bum and do nothing and I don't even care how lazy that makes me :-D

I hope you enjoyed the extra questions in there, I'm not sure what happened with me missing them out the last few weeks! Being blonde AND pregnant is a lethal combination ;-)

See you soon!!

My Must-Have Autumn Beauty Buys

As I'm back in England for two weeks I've properly got the autumn feeling and I'm loving it. I love summer and I'm always excited for it to come around, but if I'm being honest it's got nothing on autumn and winter.

The fashion is better - I love chunky things, layers and boots - and I love feeling all cosy and getting excited for Christmas. I'm still a big kid even if I am pregnant ha ha.

So at the first opportunity I had to stock up on my autumn beauty essentials (Gibraltar isn't the best for make-up) I went a bit crazy, but I've narrowed down my massive Boots raid to these four products. These are the kind that if I can't find them I to start to mildly have a panic attack at the thought of using anything else! Ha ha.

Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer 

If you're a regular reader of my blog then you'll know how much I love this product, and I had to feature it even if I'm getting boring raving on about this one ha ha.

Coming from a girl with a huge complex about her eye-bags, this concealer is the best one I've ever tried. And I've tried them all! It's a great texture, covers almost ANYTHING you don't want to be seen and lasts for ages, and I honestly can't rate it enough.

Without a tan to brighten up my skin during autumn I put more of an effort into my skin make-up (if that makes sense ha ha) and on those dark, early mornings Benefiit's Boi-ing helps make me look more awake, even if I don't feel it :-)

Soap and Glory's Peach Party Blusher

This blusher is literally amazing and I'm OBSESSED with it at the moment! I never normally carry blusher around with me in my handbag but I've made an exception for this one, as it's just so beautiful.

It's got a noticeable shimmer to it which is so illuminating, and I prefer wearing peach coloured blusher to pink in the autumn as it stops me looking so pasty.

It has a mix of peach, gold and copper colours which look great together and I love, love, love looking a bit glittery and shimmery - I'm a magpie! :-)

Max Factor's False Lash Effect Fusion Mascara

I've been a HUGE fan of this mascara since I was about 16 (six long years ago - boo hoo, I'm so old) and after trying many, many others I always return to this one.

I recently purchased Benefit's They're Real Mascara after reading so many great reviews and I did really love it, but I honestly don't think it's any better than this one and it's double the price.

Max Factor's False Lash Fusion mascara makes SUCH a difference to my eyelashes, and really does make them look so long ha ha. And the only time I get compliments on my eyelashes is when I'm wearing this! Despite being quick thick it doesn't make my lashes clumpy at all, and it's so easy to apply. I LOVE IT TOO MUCH ha ha.

As well as paying more attention to my making my skin look nice in autumn I also prefer a darker eye, and don't go for as natural a look as I do in summer. So this mascara is a must, must, must-have!

Soap and Glory's Supercat Eyeliner Pen

I love a cat-eye during autumn and I rarely do anything else to my eyes ha ha, I'm a creature of habit! And this eyeliner is by far the best one I've tried.

I always go for a thick 'felt-tip' nib rather than a thin liquid brush when I buy eyeliner as they're so much easier to apply and control ha ha, and this one is amazing. It's great for fine lines as well as thick, fuller ones and it's a really nice, dark shade.

It lasts for ages and tends to flake off rather than smudge, which might sound bad but it's definitely better than a panda-eye look ha ha. I'd recommend this to both first time triers of the cat-eye look as well as experts as it's so easy to use but also a great quality product.

If I had to narrow it down to a few products these would be my top four, but I have so many other favourites as well ha ha so I might do an England beauty haul soon, to show you everything I purchased in these two weeks :-)

Let me know what your must-have autumn beauty buys are and what you think of these products.

See you soon!!

My Surprise Baby Shower

 On Tuesday me and Sam went shopping in Southampton to get bubba some bits and were then planning on going to the cinema. Or so I thought ha ha. When we came back from shopping my friends were all hiding in my conservatory to throw me a surprise baby shower! It was amazing!

I literally had NO idea it was going to happen and can't believe that Sam, my Mum, Dad and brother were all in on it too ha ha. It was such a nice surprise and I'm so happy I got to have a baby shower, as I was worried I wouldn't as I was only home for a short time.

The girls planned it sooo well and got me such lovely presents.

They were so generous and there was a lot to open, including lots of lovely baby clothes, some cute baby booties, a very handy bag of goodies (mainly nipple pads and cream ha ha - sexy) to take to the hospital with me, an amazing little bracelet for baby to wear, a clay mould to imprint baby's handprints and footprints which is so cool, a book of messages to baby from all the girls, a babygrow that the girls all signed with messages which is so lovely, and a cake made out of nappies and scratch mittens which is so impressive!

Everyone put so much thought and effort into the gifts and I can't thank them enough :-) love my babes!

They also got me a lovely necklace and some socks that say "Bestest Mummy Ever" ha ha, love it! So I didn't feel left out he he.

We played the BEST party games - pass the parcel, guess the baby (where everyone brought a baby photo and we had to guess who was who), a celebrity baby name quiz and my favourite - pin the sperm on the egg! Ha ha. And I'm pleased to say I lost them all - standard! I'm no wiser in almost motherhood ha ha.

It was SUCH a good evening and I feel so lucky to have such lovely friends :-) and I'll make sure bubba knows what amazing aunties she has when she pops out!

See you soon!!

Bump Update: Week 26

As promised here is my second post of the day! Please forgive me for my rubbish-ness the last few days now? :-) ha ha.

It's a few days late but here is my Bump Update! My Mum said this morning she thinks my bump has grown the last week, what do you reckon? I haven't noticed as much as some weeks, but I have had some growing pains so maybe it has :-)

How far along? 26 weeks and 3 days! 

Total weight gain: Well according to my Mum bump has gained weight this week, but I don't think it's been as noticeable as some weeks. And I was so chuffed the other day because me and Sam went shopping and I fitted into an XS coat! Ha ha oooh yeah. It doesn't matter that it was quite a baggy coat ;-)

Maternity clothes? I've been loving my maternity clothes this week. I did a post on my Must Have Maternity Trousers  the other day and I've basically been living in them, along with a few maternity tops and jumpers (I'll do a post on them soon) and some non-maternity, but very baggy, tops and jumpers. Maternity clothes are sooo comfy! Love them.

    Sleep: I'm back in my childhood/teenagehood bed for the week while I'm back in Bournemouth on holiday, so usually this would mean some great nights sleeps... but sadly it's not meant to be ha ha. For some reason my bedroom has been attracting wildlife and I feel like I'm sleeping in a jungle - me and Sam have been fighting so many flies and moths at 1am! I've also been a bit poorly the last few days so I've had a couple of broken nights sleeps, but I'm off work at the moment (praise the Lord) so I'm making up for it with massive lie-ins :-)

Best moment this week: Oohhh this is an easy one! My bestest friends in the world threw me a surprise baby shower Tuesday evening and it was amazing! It was SUCH a fun night and I didn't expect it at all. I'll definitely do a post on it soon to show you all my goodies and the hilarious games we played :-)

Food cravings: Oh my God I've got a crazy one for you. I've gone from gagging at the smell of coffee to actually REALLY wanting to drink it now! What the hell is that about?! I have to have it one third milk ha ha and with three sugars, but still. Mmmm loving it! Apart from that it's still the same old zero cravings and hating chicken.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Chicken! Although I did eat a KFC the other day which was amaaaaazing. But it's more chicken breast without breadcrumbs (in other words real chicken) that makes me sick. Bleugh.

Gender: Little girly!

Labour signs: No.

Symptoms: My energy has disappeared the last few days but I think that's down to having a cold, and the other day I had really bad sickness. I thought I was going to faint and had to go sit down outside with a sick bucket (grose - sorry ha ha). It was so cute though because my dog got all worried about me and came and sat with me, whining and shaking! Bless her. She's so cute.

Belly button in or out? The belly button saga continues this week, and it's now gone from a levelly to a half-outty-half-levelly! Ha ha. The top half is now a definite outty, but the bottom half is still level. Did anyone else have this freakishness?! It's so strange! Ha ha.

Happy or moody most of the time: Apart from being moody when I'm tired I've been very happy this week! Mainly because I'm LOVING being home and having time off work with Sam :-) I'm going to be so sad to leave Bournemouth tomorrow though :( :( :(

Looking forward to: As much as I don't want to leave Bournemouth I am looking forward to going back to London to stay with Sam's Mum for a few days tomorrow, but I'm sooooo dreading going back to work on Monday. I'm trying not to think about it too much though. But it's going to be horrendous. Wahhhhh. Hopefully time goes slowly for me the next few days :-)

Sorry again for the Bump Update not being on a Tuesday like it normally is, I'll get my act together now! And at least it's only a few days to go until the next update now ha ha. I love writing these so that makes me happy!

See you soon!!

Throw Back Thursday: My First Christmas

I'm so sorry I haven't done a post for a few days, I've been soooo busy. I'll fill you in on everything I've been up to (and might do a double post today - crazzzzzy) but first it's time for Throw Back Thursday!

If you're a regular reader (thank you ever so muchly) you'll know that I'm back in my hometown of Bournemouth at the moment for a cheeky holiday, and when I came back my Mum had put up a huge board full of baby photos. So I'm planning on using lots of them for future Throw Back Thursdays, stating with this one.

Spot the baby! Ha ha.

It might sound crazy because I know it's only September but I am soooo excited for Christmas!

This photo is of me on my first Christmas and I can't WAIT for bubba to have her first Christmas this year (if she comes on time ha ha - my due date is December 16th! Eeeeek). I'm already planning the festive outfits I want to put her in and what presents to get her. But really... what do you get for a week old baby?! 

Christmas is such a homely and magical time and it's still my favourite day of the year, even if I am 22! But it's even better when you're younger, and the smaller you are the bigger your presents are. Like everyone else I'm sure, me and my younger brother would both be desperate to have the biggest present ha ha and even if one of us was given an empty box, but the BIGGEST box, I think we still would have used it as bragging rights!

I'm definitely planning on using my first few weeks of maternity leave on festive fun - getting the Christmas tree and decorations up (if I can wait until then anyway, I'll probably have them up on November 1st ha ha) and getting bubba's stocking ready as well as all the tree presents. And when I say decorations I mean DECORATIONS. I think I might go a bit nuts ha ha.

My Mum, Dad and brother are all coming out over Christmas and hopefully bubba's birth, so it will be proper family time this year and I just CAN NOT WAIT.

And FYI if you're as excited as I am... there's only 103 days, 9 hours, 32 minutes and 54 seconds to go :-D

I promise I won't be so rubbish at blogging ever again, and keep your eyes peeled for another post later on today :-)

See you (very) soon!!

My Must-Have Maternity Trousers

(This is me, Sam and my dog, Bonnie at a dog show ha ha - it's the only photo I have of me in these trousers!)

When I found out I was pregnant my aim was to buy as little maternity clothing as possible so that I wasn't wasting money on clothes I would only use for a few months. Buying tops, dresses and jumpers in a bigger size than normal has worked really well for me so far, and as I'm a fan of the baggy-look I know I'll still be able to get use out of most of them after I've birthed my bubba ha ha. The jumper I'm wearing in the photo above is from Asos and isn't maternity, just a size L ha ha, and it fits me and bump fine.

However buying maternity trousers and leggings seems unavoidable, so it's key to invest in some good 'uns!

I have two pairs of maternity jeans that I've mentioned in previous posts, both from Asos, which I would highly recommend, and owning maternity trousers that are versatile and can be worn with a variety of tops and jackets is very useful. However I'm a fan of mixing things up a bit, so my 'must have' maternity trousers are neither of those ha ha.

The ones in the photo above are amazing! They're not your average trousers, and if you've read my blog before you'll know how much of a fan I am of tartan and check. So it's no wonder these are up there for me.

They're from Topshop and cost £28, so not the cheapest. But they're so comfortable and a really nice material!

I plan on wearing these with a variety of knitted jumpers and baggy t-shirts, and they'll look great with boots, t-bar shoes, sandals or loafers. I paired them with these shoes from Asos when I wore them the other day, and I love how they look together. So they're easier to work with than you might think. And I just think they make me feel less frumpy and written off as a baby-carrying machine, and more young, fashionable and still worthy of good clothes ha ha!

My other favourite maternity trousers are these Wet Look leggings from New Look, although you can't tell they're Wet Look in this picture - sorry about that!

Again I've worn a non-maternity jumper, this time from Primarni. Otherwise known as Primark :-) and I'm really loving it. I bought it in a size 12 (I'm an 8-10 pre-pregnancy) and it fits like a dream - it covers my bump nicely and the sleeves aren't too long. Can you tell I like check? Ha ha.

But back to the leggings ;-)

These are great because being black, they go with almost everything. But the Wet Look spruces them up a bit and again makes me feel like I'm still worthy of nice clothes :-)

On New Look's website they describe these as Leather Look but personally I would say they're Wet Look. They're not as thick or matte as some pre-pregnancy Leather Look trousers I own, so don't expect something leathery if that's what you're hoping for with these, but I still love them.

I can already tell I'm going to get loads of use out of them, and although they're not AS comfy as the check trousers they're still really comfortable as well as being tight and flattering :-)

So if you're after some maternity trousers that are less run-of-the-mill than your average ones but still comfortable and wearable, I would highly recommend these two! And I'm going to try and resist the urge to buy any more and just wear these, along with my maternity jeans, until bubba arrives. But I'll let you know how that works out for me ha ha. I seem to have a bit of a spending addiction!

See you soon!!

Baby Haul!

As promised here is my first ever BABY HAUL post :-)

I came back to sooo much stuff from my Mum, so I've just chosen a selection of clothes to feature on here so that I don't bore you with hundreds of things ha ha. 

These are my personal faves, but they're all immense and soooo cute!

This babygrow from Mamas & Papas could well be my number one favourite. The matching pattern on the sleeves and feet is so cute, and this picture doesn't do it enough justice. It's so adorable :-)

It's in size 0-3 months so I don't have to wait to use it which makes me happy ha ha, and I'm already thinking it could be bubba's Coming Home outfit!

This babygrow is also from Mamas & Papas and makes me crease so much! Love it! It came in a set of five (or my Mum bought loads of similar ones ha ha) including this spotty one...

...and I love them all. But the '50% mama 50% papa' one is too good :-D

These are also in size 0-3 months so no waiting to use them either! Woop woop.

Another AMAZING set of babygrows! Who knew Converse did baby clothes?! Genius!

This one came in a set of five as well, all with a different design and in a different colour, from Very. She's literally going to be the coolest baby ever! 

These ones are in size 3-6 months which is perfect because Gibraltar should be quite hot in March - June when she's 3-6 months old, so I won't have to cover up the coolness!

This babygrow also came from Very and in a set, with another babygrow and a hat, and I love it so much because I just love elephants ha ha! And the "I Love My Mum" doesn't hurt either :-D

I can just imagine how cute bubba will look in it. This is in size 0-3 months and they'll be perfect for the winter months when she's first born (she's due December 16th).

This one didn't actually come from my Mum, but I did come home to it ha ha.

I ordered a few things in the Zara sale and this is my absolute favourite! It's too amazing for words :-D

A LITTLE SHIRT BABYGROW! 

How cute will this be paired with some funky trousers or a little skirt? She's going to be the most fashionable baby ever. Ahhh it's too much! Ha ha.

I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll definitely do a lot more like this if you did. This is the first of many HUGE baby shops I'm sure!

See you soon!!

Country Bumpkins!

Sorry I didn't do a post yesterday! I'm really gutted because I came back home to Bournemouth yesterday for a week (woop woop!) and my Mum has put up a huge picture board with loads of baby photos of me and my brother on, so it would have been perfect for a Throw Back Thursday post! But I just literally didn't have the time. Me and Sam's train was delayed because of a broken track or something (I clearly listen ha ha) so it took us sooo long to get back! And then we had some family time, some din dins and a bit of a chill and then it was midnight! But I'll definitely be using some of the pics next week :-)

I thought I'd do a quick update on what I've been up to the last few days back in my hometown! Because I've been a bit of a Country Bumpkin ha ha.

Yesterday when me and Sam finally got home we decided to go for a walk in the New Forest with my Mum, Dad and brother and it was so lovely! We got up close and personal with some horses and it was so nice to see fields and green stuff after being in Gibraltar for the whole summer ha ha.

Then today me and Sam decided to carry on with the whole walking thing and took my dog, Bonnie for a walk to the beach.

She's such a babe and I miss her sooo much when I'm in Gibraltar. She's just such a cutie!

 (jumper: Asos, dress: Asos, bag: Topshop, boots: Topshop - really old ha ha)

I love this outfit for the start of Autumn, and its great with a bump as well :-) 

The black of the jumper stops you looking too whale-like ha ha and I love a bit of layering! And if you've read my blog posts before you'll know how much I'm loving tartan at the moment. I just can't get enough!

This is Sam's first time in Bournemouth and I'm definitely giving him the proper country experience so far! We discovered the most pointless gate in the world ha ha and saw this lovely chap enjoying a casual bike ride...

Love this guy too much ha ha!

I hope you guys have had a good couple of days too! I think tomorrow I'm going to do a baby haul post because I've come back to so many PINKKKK baby clothes from my Mum :-D lovely jubbly! So keep an eye out for that tomorrow!

See you soon!!

Shopping In Landan Town... Pregnant!

Me and Sam went shopping in LANDAN TOWN today, and oh my God it killed me!

Shopping in London is usually my absolute fave! I could troop around for hours and hours going all over the place, from tube station to tube station without a care in the world. But now I'm pregnant I literally couldn't handle life ha ha.

We started off in Covent Gardens where we met my cousin for lunch, and it was so nice! I was all full of energy, looking forward to the day ahead ha ha. I treated myself to a new phone cover from Urban Outfitters because the one I had before was literally falling to pieces, and then we headed to Camden! One of my favourite places ever.

It was all going swimmingly at this point, and I LOVE the coolness of Camden so much :-) 

However I didn't really have my shopping cap on and nothing seemed to catch my eye, apart from these trainers:

I kept seeing them everywhere, but at an eye-popping £94.99 (here from Office) I couldn't decide if they were worth the money or not! I've wanted some Nike Air Max trainers for a good few months now so I knew it wasn't an impulse buy, and these ones are just sooooo amazing! I keep picturing all the outfits I could wear them with ha ha. But I decided to hold out for the time being and off we went to Oxford Street.

(cardigan: Primark, dress and necklace: Topshop, trainers: Ebay, bag: Oasis)

(that guy behind me is giving me a real evil-eye because I apparently bumped into him ha ha, I didn't even notice! Look at him staring at me!! Caught on camera evil man)

And in Oxford Street is where the nightmare began! By this point my feet had started to tingle but I thought I could handle it and keep on trooping. But it turns out I could not.

I've never felt pain like it! I don't know whether it's because of the extra weight from a human baby, placenta and general fat-ness in my belly, but oh my Goooood my feet hate me now. The feet pain spread all the way up though my legs to my tummy until I felt like I was going to pass out ha ha ha (good luck to me in labour), but all this happened just as I decided I definitely wanted the trainers. Classic me! Always difficult :-)

So me and Sam kept on going to try and find them in Oxford Street, which was so much more difficult than in Camden! We eventually found them and I ran over, to find that they'd sold out in my size ha ha. 

We were forced to give up and retreat home, and now I can't make up my mind whether this is the trainer God telling me not to spend that much money, or if I should definitely, 100% order them online right this second?

Please help me and let me know what you think!

But overall I have discovered I seriously can't handle more than two hours shopping at a time - how devastating! The only positive is that it might help to curb my spending addiction :-) but then there is always online... 

See you soon!!

Bump Update: Week 25

I'm sorry for my disgusting face ha ha, it's 10pm at night and I can't be pooped to do my make up properly, so here is my hideousness on the internet for everyone to see ha ha!

I'm also sorry for the mess surrounding me ha ha! Me and Sam are living out of suitcases while we're back in England :-) we flew to London from Gibraltar last night and I'm sooo happy to be back! This is in Sam's sister's room where we're crashing for the next couple of nights, before we go to Bournemouth - my hometown! Wahoooo.

How far along? 25 weeks and 1 day! 

Total weight gain: I'm pretty sure my bump's grown since last week!! I'm starting to feel like a beach whale, and huffing and puffing when I bend down ha ha! And I feel like it's about to grow more as well - it feels all tight like it's about to pop!

Maternity clothes? I'm wearing maternity jeans here! I've worn them all of today and they're soooo amazing! They look like normal jeans and they're mega comfy :-) I think I'll wear them even when I'm not pregnant ha ha. I got them from Asos a few months ago and I can't find them on their website anymore, but I also got these ones (if you're interested) which are now in the sale! God dammit ha ha.

    Sleep: OH MY GOD I SLEPT SO GOOD LAST NIGHT! I can't explain how amazing it was not to wake up to an alarm. It was the first time in over a month! As we're back in England now (WAHOOOO) I got to sleep with a proper duvet which I love more than anything! It's so cosy and lovely :-) I can't wait to go back to bed again tonight ha ha.

Best moment this week: Touching down in London town! I've missed England sooo much and I'm so, so, so happy to be back! Even if it is only for two weeks :-)

Food cravings: Still zero! Apart from loving ice-cream (even here, so I can't use the heat as an excuse ha ha). But it's not like I NEED to have it, I just wouldn't turn it down ha ha. And I could easily eat 10 in a row... :-D

Anything making you queasy or sick? Same old really! Tea and coffee is still a big no. And chicken, as per! They're the main ones that I can't stand the thought of!

Gender: Girllyyyyy. It better be anyway after the amount of pink me and Sam bought in Primark today ha ha! I think we left the baby girl section empty!

Labour signs: No.

Symptoms: My sickness has come back this week :-( which sucks! Yesterday it was one of the worst it's been the whole pregnancy, and I was sick on the plane which was horrible! 

Belly button in or out? I'm pretty sure it's about to pop to become an outy any day now! But for now it's still a weird levelly, and I think you can see it a bit in the pictures ha ha. Freaaaaaky!

Happy or moody most of the time: HAPPY CHAPPY :-) I'm just so glad to be back home and having two weeks off work with Sam! What's there to be moody about? :-)

Looking forward to: SO MUCH! Me and Sam are going to London shopping tomorrow which is my favourite thing ever! And we're also having lunch with my cousin and his wife and I can't wait to see them :-) and then Thursday seeing my family and friends back in Bournemouth - eeeeee it's gonna be a great few days!

Sorry this bump update's going up a bit late in the day, but it's been a hectic one! I'll be more punctual next week ha ha I promise :-)

See you soon!!
