Okay bloggers I need some help. I am not your most creative person (I owe whatever creativity I do posses solely down to Pinterest) so I need some ideas to reveal we are pregnant with baby number two to the family. It is my mother in laws birthday next week and we want to do something special to announce the pregnancy on her birthday. I’ve had a quick look on Pinterest but nothing has really stood out to us yet. Does anyone have any fun ideas?
Happy valentines day everyone! Valentines day is a very different celebration when you are married with a 16 month year old and another one on the way. There wasn’t a bunch of roses or a soft cuddly toy carrying a heart in it’s arms for me when I woke up this morning, not even a card. I’m not getting taken to a fancy hotel or out for a meal or to the cinema this year either.
But even so, this has been one of the best valentines day I’ve ever had. Because really after 9 years together none of that stuff really matters. The roses I received all of the other years died after a couple of days and the teddies are in a black bag in the attic.
But what you can’t throw put is memories and we made lots of good ones today. We spent a lovely family day having fun, making home made valentines day cards for all the family and watching disney movies. And as I currently write this the hubby is preparing a 3 course dinner consisting of stuffed potato skins, sirloin steaks and apple pie and ice cream for dessert (my favourites) washed down with my favourite fruit cider (non alcoholic for me of course). Who says romance is completely dead?
Enjoy your day everyone x
Okay world, I’m letting you all into a little secret… I’m pregnant! Only my husband and my mum know at the moment. We have still to tell the in laws and the rest of my family. I am only 4 weeks along so we want to wait till a little further along before we start sharing the good news. But I’m so excited I could burst and I feel like I really need to tell someone… So who better to tell than the whole internet (LOL)???
This is my second pregnancy as we have a little girl who is 16 months old. If I have worked it all out right (with a little help from google) my due date should be in October. My little girl, Grace will be 2 in the September so I think I will have just missed out on being able to say ‘I have two under two’ (unless this one is early).
I know it’s going to be quite difficult having two little ones quite close together but I’m ready to take on the challenge. I’ve always wanted to have kids quite close together in age. I myself am an only child and had no cousins or relatives of similar age to me growing up and i often felt quite lonely. Also, my husband and his brother are only two years apart in age and they have always been really close so we always wanted quite a small age gap between our kids. So, 2 years was the perfect age gap for us!
I’m only 4 weeks pregnant at the moment which is really early, but I’ve been feeling some symptoms so far. I’ve been feeling a little nausea and need to pee all the time (sorry if that’s TMI) but apart from that I’m feeling good. Is anyone else at this stage of pregnancy? How are you feeling?
