27 & 28 Weeks Pregnant!

Hi guys,

Welcome to week 27 & 28! Time is flying by so quickly! I know I say that all the time but I just can't believe in only 12 weeks is our baby's due date!

I have entered the 3rd trimester this week which is really exciting! The home stretch!

Symptoms

Fatigue - I have definitely been a lot more tired recently. I have even found myself napping in the afternoon which is very unusual for me!

Sickness - my morning sickness has returned! Noooooo! It isn't as bad as my sickness earlier in pregnancy but it has definitely returned. It's started to be really random and sometimes I can wake up feel fine and get all the way to lunch time and suddenly vomit :(

Emotional - I have been so emotional lately! I cry randomly during films or if I can't find anything to wear! haha!

Cravings

Cereal is a real craving this week! I have been craving eating cereal late at night before bed! I especially like Frosties at the moment!

Stretch Marks

None yet :)

Movement

The baby has been so active lately! Especially at night when I'm trying to sleep!

Baby Buys

We have bought a thermometer for baby, nappy sacks and a few small toys. We have also had the pram delivered this week! We chose the Oyster travel system It comes with the pushchair seat. We also had to purchase the carry cot, car seat and adapters for the pram as well as an isofix bar for the car. It's a great pram which folds down really small and is extremely lightweight! We bought the Maxi Cosi Cabriofix car seat and the Easyfix isofix bar. Below are some images of the pram.

This is the carry cot part suitable for a newborn.

This is the pushchair seat.

This week we also went for a 4D scan. It was amazing! It cost £99 on a special offer. This is the link to the company I used: http://www.babypremier.co.uk/

Included in the price we got 8 black and white photos, a CD with colour photos, a teddy bear, a DVD recording of the scan, a photo frame and a growth report.

From the photos our baby looks just like her daddy :)

I also had my blood tests this week and my anti-D injection which is for people who have RH- blood type. 

I have not got a bump shot for this week :( but I will make sure I upload one for next week.

26 Weeks Pregnant!

Hey Guys!

So this is my week 26 bump update!

Cravings: None this week

Symptoms: Fatigue, morning sickness - this has returned :( It's definitely not as bad as prior to me turning 16 weeks pregnant but it has come back and I do find myself throwing up every now and again :( I have also been getting a stitch-like pain when I have been walking around I believe it is to do with where the baby is positioned and the doctor told me it is also to do with my ligaments stretching!

Stretch Marks: None so far! I am using cocoa butter every morning and bio-oil each evening!

Maternity Buys: I have bought a sports bra from Tesco which I am using as a sleep bra. It was only £5 so definitely worth it!

I also recommend buying a pregnancy journal is you haven't already. The one below I bought from Amazon and it is a place to record how your feeling each month, to put a bump picture in each month and to store your ultrasound photographs. It is a lovely keepsake!

The book below I also bought from Amazon it's got lots of information regarding your babies progress, pregnancy diet tips, labour information etc.

Baby Buys: I have bought a ton of stuff! I am going to do a separate blog and vlog on this.

So this is the bump at 26 weeks!

I will upload another blog next week! Please check out my pregnancy vlogs on youtube: http://youtu.be/A_XtHqDjrZg

25 Weeks Pregnant!

Hi guys!

So I am now 25 weeks pregnant! I never thought pregnancy would be this hard! I've had terrible morning sickness since week 8 and just when I thought it was over its come back with a vengeance!

Apart from the sickness this week I have been baby shopping! I bought the baby a cot! We also bought two cute outfits (sailor style) in a sale. I will do a blog where I show all the outfits we have bought so far.

My best friend is planning my baby shower for me which I will have in October. It's also my little sisters 18th in October! I have no idea what to buy for her, what do 18 year olds like now?? I was thinking some kind of makeup (my sister loves makeup and she wears really expensive brands so it seems like a good idea for a present.

Pregnancy Information for week 25

Stretch mark: so far I have no stretch marks! I have been using cocoa butter every morning and bio oil every night so fingers crossed the stretch marks stay away!

Cravings: OK so I'm a little disappointed as I haven't really had any cravings this pregnancy as such. I mean I can eat a jar of pickled onions but I don't feel like I have to eat them I just want to if that makes sense!

Movements: movements are really strong now! Adam can feel the baby from the outside too! You can also see my tummy moving when baby kicks but you can't see hands or feet or anything yet!

Bump shot: Ok so here is the bump at 25 weeks!

Next week we will be going to a 4D scan! I will do a gender reveal and upload some of the outfits we have bought :)
