24 Week Pics

Here is my 24 week pic... don't seem to have changed much in size since the last one but I certainly feel bigger and the back is starting to hurt...

Baby Links

Thought I'd share some cool links with you that I like to look at to do with the baby..

First there is this one

Create Studio

Then this one

Prudent Baby

Then this one

Project Nursery

Mostly crafty but a wealth of good ideas of things to do!

Baby Buys so far

So, recently I have turned into a bit of an Ebayaholic... and this had resulted in some great buys. It has also meant a fair few trips to the post office to redeem my product with their little red 'you weren't in' vouchers! (Which on a totally different note, i'm convinced is a conspiracy...I've sat in the lounge before and still managed to get one of those through my door)

Anyhoo, these have been my purchases so far

Now, don't be getting excited... the only reason I got it in pink was because it was cheap! Let's say if a little boy Hills pops out he's either gonna have to be butch or I'm gonna have to get creative with the ol fabric :) It also came with a wooden rocking frame.

Now, this I think is pretty funky. Not only is it a sleeping bag but it is a travel sleeping bag.. meaning you can thread a 5 point harness through the middle.... meaning that you can get your baby out of car seat and put straight to bed already in it's jarmies....

Many thanks to this random lady who is modelling another of my buys... the Moby wrap in Indigo... I got to looking at these after Alice (Crumbs) started talking about baby carriers. They look really great and funnily enough I have to go and pick it up from the post office later (redeeming yet another red voucher!) (and yes... I was in the house!!! rrr)

Finally, from Ebay, I got this grobag swaddling fabric for 0-3 months...I still have mixed views about swaddling but again, for the price I thought it would probably be a go-er!

Anyhoo.... in total, these items should have RRP'd £114 and I paid the grand total of £59... I love Ebay :)

As a side note I also found in Boots the cutest little red gilet for 3-6 months...supposed to be £10, only £3. Barginous and just the cutest thing!

22 weeks

Ok, so I'm now 23 weeks but here is my 22 week picture. Starting to feel really fat.... and I'm guessing it'll get to atleast another third of this size.... yowza

My Pregnancy Essentials

My friend Alice over at Crumbs posted this week about her pregnancy essentials so I though I'd do mine so far!

So Alice, I agree, this has been a great pregnancy so far. It being my first it's all a bit new but I love it. I've had relatively little pain, the odd back and hip pain but I blame working in the NHS for that!

The scans have been the most amazing moments, how you can love something that quite frankly looks a little bit like an alien and is only in black and white is beyond me, truly a gift from God.

I've also loved feeling a little person kicking about (like a champion karate star already!) inside me, very special.

As for the essentials.....

Oh my, I love these. (Plus they are actually 2 for £2, bonus). One bowl for breakfast and one bowl before bed makes Sarah a happy mommy!

Possibly need this because of the afformentioned but I don't care...

It may taste like death but it really does do a very good job, I applaud you Glaxo Smith Klein!

Finally so far, I must include this....

My James. Giving into my midnight runs to Asda for chocosquares... getting me hot water bottles, rubbing my back and generally asking very sweet naive pregnancy questions..... often with such a mortified face, when I in great detail tell him the answer!

So there we go, my 22 week pregnancy essentials.....

GLEE

Ooohh... Glee is back....

Love it.....

Week 20

Had a lovely weeks holiday last week in Battle with all the inlaws, parents siblings etc as well as a quick visit to my mum.

Hit 20 weeks whilst there... so here's the pic...

Baby is getting really active now, definate movement and sometimes even quite cooperative!
