Hump Day, Bump Day: Week 36 Edition

Thankfully I took outfit photos yesterday because today the cold I was hoping might have magically left my body has made its presence known even more. Boo to that. Hello lemon and hot water. 

I'm in my final week at work and Friday can't come soon enough. We're having a mini-staycation down at Mooloolaba for three nights and then I'm hoping the baby starts making his journey down the canal towards life. Wasn't that a lovely analogy? I've been telling him next Wednesday would be good. The husband thinks the following Wednesday is a definite no-no - for those in the know-know (ha, see what I did there?) it is the final Origin match for the year.

Hump Day, Bump Day: Week 35 Edition

I'm very much nearing the end of my pregnancy and the wardrobe choices are quickly decreasing. Not necessarily because things don't fit but because I want to be comfortable if I have to sit at work all day. Luckily, only seven more work days left and I can slouch around in my pj's all day long if I please.

I'm hoping Katy will agree to a lunch date or two before the baby arrives. It will give me a good excuse to doll myself up a bit instead of sitting around the house all day. 

Oh, and if you're interested, check out our nursery which I finally finished off last week over here.

Would love if you could show my facebook page some love too - so close to 100 likes! 

Bump Day: Week 34 Edition

I missed bump day yesterday - a combo of not loving any of the pics I took and just being too busy. I thought I would be able to cruise on out of work quite casually but no, I am flat strap. I have eleven and a half work days left and it couldn't come sooner. I'm telling baby he can come on or about the 18th July - I reckon that would be perfect.

Heading to an engagement party this weekend - will be fun but I think I'll be leaving the husband and heading home early. Nothing like a thirty-five-week pregnant lady at the pub.

As always, thanks for reading!

I wish I was this talented

Check out the awesome blog header Lauren from tastes like love created for my new blog trainee mama. Isn't is just awesome?!

This is the picture she drew inspiration from. Looks like me huh?

Great idea for gifts I reckon! Contact Lauren for your own personalised image/design.

Lauren has created two other images for me in the past. See them here and here. 

Hump Day, Bump Day: Week 33 Edition

I've had this jacket for yonks and just haven't found the right outfit to wear it with so today wore it as the basis of my outfit. Teamed with a simple Kookai tank I picked up at a garage sale for a dollar and good ol maternity jeans from jeanswest.

I somehow was lucky enough to score a free blow dry for tonight - man I need it - my hair is out of control. See my instagram feed - the proof is in the frizzing.

Oh, and I started a new blog - a side blog to this one for all things parenting and babies. Well all things for those that have no clue - me included. Please come join me at http://traineemama.blogspot.com or at the facebook page - www.facebook.com/trainee.mama

Hump Day, Bump Day: Week 32 Edition

My outfit today is rather indicative of the walking style my legs have adopted over the last couple of days = penguin. Yes my friends, the waddle has started. 

This morning I jumped out of bed (okay, I didn't jump I kind of rolled) to get ready for my Wednesday morning body combat class and in the dark of five thirty am minus contact lenses I was greeted by this: (look away now if you don't want to see a pregnant belly)

See those two big dimples/indents on either side of my bump at the top? Yea, strange huh? I woke the husband up to show him and see if he was concerned at all. He thought it was weird too but I think was too drowsy to really give his opinion. 

He followed up with an email at quarter to ten this morning with a subject of 'Is your belly still funny looking?' I replied letting him know that one of the ladies in my bubhub facebook group said it was normal and that the baby has probably moved down and out the front. His reply? 'That is good isn't it? Aren't they supposed to get lower before the birth??' - ahhh bless his cotton socks. 

Yea, ahem, we really need to go to the antenatal education class we are booked in for next Saturday that is fo show.

Note: Almost all of the things I've ordered from asos recently have been rather big. This dress is a size 10 and not from the maternity range and even though it's a swing style I believe would be better suited to at least a size 12. Has anyone else noticed this?

Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday.
