I'm pregnant again!

Happy new year!

So we are pregnant again! 13 weeks + 2 days precisely. Baby is due on the 8th July 2016 and is growing well. 

My symptoms so far this pregnancy have definitely not been as bad as my first trimester with Mia. I have had morning sickness but only for 2 weeks (well physical vommiting for 2 weeks but I have felt sick since about week 6 until recently) with Mia I was sick every single day from week 6 up until she was born! So this is an improvement! 

We don't know the babies gender yet, we won't find out until the 20 week scan which is scheduled for the end of February. We have considered not finding out but I have kept so many clothes of Mia's that I really want to organise myself if this baby isn't a girl I can donate a lot of Mia's clothes as this baby will probably be our last, plus I just have no room to store the amount of clothes I've kept! Obviously I will keep the real sentimental stuff like her first outfit at the hospital and my favourite dresses. 

Other than morning sickness I have been quite tired this pregnancy although that could be because I also have a very active 3 year old to look after! My boobs have been really sore which is the same as the last time and I have been finding it really hard to get comfortable at night and waking a lot in the night to pee! 

We had our first ultrasound and everything looks good. Baby was not cooperating though and just had their back to use the whole time! Haha!

Mia turns 3!

So this is well overdue! If I'm being honest I haven't been a particularly active  blogger recently. I could blame Christmas and Mia's birthday but the truth is I have just been lazy recently! Haha! 

Anyway here we go. Mia turned 3 on 23rd November. I can't believe it's been over 3 years since she came into our lives and also over 3 years since I started this little blog on the Internet. 

She is a chatter box and has started nursery now. She loves it and is really gaining a lot from it. She has become quite fussy with food recently which is really hard work. She has started to try more things though (mostly because I use blackmail 'your hair will grow long like rapunzels if you eat your meat or veggies') 

She is obsessed with Disney princesses at the moment! Sleeping beauty especially. For Christmas she asked for dressing up outfits as that's her favourite thing to do. If Mia had it her way she would never wear normal clothes and would just walk around in her princess costumes haha! 

We threw her a Disney princess party with rapunzel, Flynn rider and belle. She loved it and still talks about it now. 

Here's a few photos from her princess birthday party.

Around this town

I am very fortunate to live somewhere with so much greenery yet still be close enough to London to enjoy life in the capital! 

Yesterday we found this field close up our house which just goes on and on and would be lovely for a picnic! Mia enjoyed just running around in the fresh air!

Heat wave

It's been a heat wave this week in the UK! We are so not equipt for his type of heat! (then again we are also not equipt for snow or a huge amount of rain......what are we equipt for?!) 

Anyway we spent a lot of our time this week at the sandpit in the park or outside in the paddling pool (in between work of course!) 

Here are some snaps of our week!
