20 weeks!
August 10th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
20 weeks and my bump has become HUGE! Loving the squishy firmness of it and of course the squiggly baby girl inside.
This last week eating has been all kinds of disastrous for a few reasons but I’m still making an effort to eat clean and eat protein, but feeling so bloated from way overdoing it on the carbs. My water allergy has come back with a VENGEANCE and I’m now fearing the shower again 
Am going to brave a cold shower tomorrow morning and see if it helps any.
Short post sorry as I need to sleep! Super stoked that my parent’s in law are coming tomorrow along with some of the family and I’m so excited to see everyone! Night all xx
P.S – I did buy the Bugaboo! I stumbled across one brand new black and off white on eBay and got a bit carried away………. ahhh it is lovely. Assembled it in Reuben’s room and then attempted to put it back in the box and make it fit – epic fail! The quality is so much higher than our iCandy, they really are worlds apart. And it feels so light in comparison too! Although it is way, way more complicated to assemble but hey. x

Knitting! After lacking all motivation to pick up the needles for months I’ve made my first thing for the new baby, a wee pink and blue striped cardigan in Egyptian Cotton. A bit peeved that I did what I normally do which is to make a mistake, and instead of fixing it properley try and bodge it and as a result there’s a nice wee pucker on the right hand side by the buttons. Ah well hopefully you won’t be able to tell when it’s on, and it was pretty satisfying for the grand total of £2.50 in materials.
The motivation has been hard to come by even after my huge burst when I did the body in a weekend then dragged the sleeves out over a couple of Thursday night knit groups! I managed to sew in the ends yesterday and pick up a crochet hook to make a little matching headband (still need to finish this one off…). Excuse the shoddy photography it’s getting close to 2am here :/ The first photo is the most accurate colourings. The second photo makes me want to cry, stupid increase in the wrong place
Anyway I’ve already launched into the next project which is a bit of a mammoth undertaking but I’ll post some pics and an explanation when there is a bit more to see…. sneaky peak:
Cloth Diaper Reviews – Wonderoos V2
August 2nd, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
This is a timely review as we are potty train(ed – do I dare say it??) And completely out of nappies in the daytime minus one wonderoo for a nap!
We’ve tried a lot of different types and brands of cloth nappies in the 2.2 years since having Reuben and these Wonderoos are fantastic. Loads of pics and full review if you click on ‘more’…..
19 weeks!
August 1st, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
19 weeks has arrived and with it so has my bump! Woohoo! I’ve been waiting for this since the get go and already this week the lady at the post office asked if Reuben was getting a baby brother or sister (yes, she knows him by name!) and a stranger at the supermarket has congratulated me! Love getting these kind of comments.
Baby purchasing has so far been under control.. or so I thought.. I’ve been buying bits and pieces off eBay (baby capsule and base, and a bunch of girly baby clothes that were cheap). I had a bit of a stock-take today and realised some of the stuff I’ve bought has been way too warm for a NZ summer baby and some of it when it arrived I was slightly disappointed at the quality so that stuff’s going back on eBay! I’ve also totally blown the budget on something I’ve been coveting for a while… shouldn’t take much to guess if you’ve read my blog before!! I’ll do a reveal on that after the weekend when I hopefully pick it up!!
Here’s Reuben attempting to dress his “baba” clearly a boy haha in some definitely pink girly clothes. I’m so thrilled to have got to the 19 week mark and feel the baby having what only feels like a mad dance party in my stomach day and night. Reuben is still completely oblivious to the fact there is a baby in there although he does think my newly endowed chest is the.most.hilarious thing in the world!!
I’m still mildly freaking out about packing and shipping things home, while at the same time trying to make sure all I buy up all the cool UK things I want to have at home!!! I just hope we can find a proper house to live in as soon as possible when we get back and start to settle in. xx
