<div style="text-align: center;">
I had my baby!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been almost 3 weeks since I gave birth and now I finally feel like myself. It's been such a blur but I'm completely in love with my perfect little boy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So without further ado, here is<br />

It was such a perfect and wonderful birth. According to the midwife I "hypno-birthed" which is where you go into kind of a trance and just get the job done. I used the birth pool and powered through without the aid of any pain relief. I feel very "earth mother" about the whole thing and I honestly know I wouldn't have been able to do it if it wasn't for the support of JS and the wonderful midwives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So as a wonderful surprise, a lovely package arrived on my doorstep from the wonderful humans of <a href="http://skullandbonesboysclub.com/" target="_blank">SABBC</a>.</div>

I love the length and fit of the <a href="http://www.skullandbonesboysclub.com/product/smoke-cristal-raglan/">smoke cristal raglan</a> as it helps hide my mummy tummy really well. The quality of the material is outstanding and it's buttery soft which is perfect for my sensitive skin. It makes it super comfy to wear as well. The colour of the <a href="http://www.skullandbonesboysclub.com/product/vimto-violet/">vimto violet beanie</a> is delicious!
<BR><BR><BR>
Hopefully I should be able to do more blogging now that I've started to get into a routine and as I lose more of my baby weight I'll feel more and more comfortable doing outfit posts so watch this space!<BR>
As always, peace and love

D-day is fast approaching! Today is officially 1 month until he is due to arrive and to be honest, I'm terrified.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm terrified of the pain, I'm terrified of not being able to cope and I'm terrified that I'm not going to be a good mum. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had a lot of practice over the last 4 years, helping JS to raise Rdogg and all the challenges that comes with raising a child with "extra needs." However, I've never had to do this from the very beginning. I'm worried about how this is going to affect my relationship, I'm worried about becoming post-natal as depression is something that I've dealt with throughout my adult life and overall I'm feeling incredibly guilty for how this could affect Rdogg. He finds it increasingly difficult to cope with even the smallest changes to his routine and even tho we have a lot of strategies in place to help him, I worry about how well he will deal with not being the centre of our little world any more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the day gets closer and closer, my worries are increasing as rapidly as my bump and that makes me feel even more guilty as I know that stressing isn't very good for the baby. Team that with the physical pains of sciatica, pelvic girdle (imagine having an iron rod metaphorically pushed through your hips) lace of sleep and braxton hicks contractions I'm surprised I'm not in tears 24/7. I know I should be floating around in a haze of pregnancy glow and don't get me wrong, I am incredibly excited and I can't wait to have that first cuddle with my little boy, but with every day that passes, I feel less and less prepared for the challenges I'm about to face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said, I have been using my time off whilst on maternity leave to do as much research as possible, to do as much decorating as possible and to get on top of all the housework.I think if I sit and give myself time to actually think about everything, I may have a meltdown :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now onto today's outfit:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
maxi dress - H&M</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this dress so much, with the birth of the little man coming closer, I have to be aware of things that I buy to make sure they will be suitable for when my bump has gone. This dress is perfect as it is fitted on my top with more of an empire waistline. I love the side slits and the semi-sheer skirt.What was even better was that I got this for half price as there was a rip in one of the side slits which I have managed to sew up easily!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also keep joking that JS needs to learn how to do my make up so that he can put my face on before any photos of me and baby are taken. Nice challenge for him there.</div>

Bonjour!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Landed back in the UK after a week in the French Alps with JS and Rdogg. The sun shone, the snow fell and we all generally had a good time. Rdogg has learnt how to ski for the first time and I finally got to see JS on a snowboard after years of hearing about his prowess but never having a chance to witness it with my own eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I spoke to people about flying at 33 weeks pregnant, a look of pure horror would spread across their faces</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"but what if you go into labour on the plane??!?" they cried. The truth is, the flight was so short that I probably would have still been in labour when we landed so I would have had a Swiss baby (we flew to Geneva) instead of a baby born in Huddersfield. Plus, I had my amazing mother law/midwife with me so I knew she'd keep me safe :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish I had paid more attention to the weather forecast as I packed many layers and jumpers and tights thinking it was gonna be freezing, only to be overheating most days in 20 degree heat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a couple of my fave snapshots from the week:</div>

Now I'm back on non snowy land and officially on maternity leave (hoooray) I'm concentrating on planning my birth and getting all the final bits together for arrival of baby RS. Leaving the house is getting more and more difficult as the list of clothes I own that I can actually fit into is drastically getting smaller and smaller with each passing day. To add to this, I have a wedding to attend on Saturday and it's my birthday on Friday. I think that will be spent making myself depressed, dragging my egg-like self around the shops to find something suitable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's outfit is one of my only dresses that actually fits without me having to wear tights under it, which, now the sunshine has returned, is a good thing really.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am now 32 weeks pregnant. 32 weeks!!! Where has the time gone?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to be honest, as much as I have loved being pregnant, I can't wait for it to be over now. It's been physically one of the worst things to ever happen to my poor broken body.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am now well and truly into my final trimester (or the third stage of pregnancy) and it's given me a chance to reflect on how everything has gone so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>First trimester</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was undoubtedly the worst of the three. Apart from having to keep my mouth shut about the fact I was pregnant, which I was rubbish at because I can't keep good news to myself, I was incredibly ill. I had to be signed off work for like 4-6 weeks with what was basically intense morning sickness, exhaustion and dehydration. If I wasn't asleep, I was being sick. I couldn't keep anything down apart from tiny mouse sized gulps of water. I spent more time with my head inside the toilet than I did with JS or R-dogg and our relationships suffered as we didn't want to tell R-dogg too early in case something went wrong. To top this all off, I had a pretty intense kidney infection, which was loads of fun. Going back to work and trying to do normal shifts and work until 2/3am was almost impossible but somehow I dragged my sorry bum through it and finally reached the...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Second trimester</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one was loads of fun. I was actually looking pregnant, we got to find out who was in there, my morning sickness dissipated and I was gifted with a whole bunch of energy. Not to mention my skin cleared up, my hair got thicker and I started to feel those awesome first movements. I was in love with my new, rounder shape and we could actually celebrate the upcoming arrival with our friends and family. It wasn't without it's downsides. I developed sciatica and pelvic girdle, which has made standing for long periods of time, rolling over in the night and generally being putting any pressure on my lower back/hips so terribly painful. My appetite went into overdrive and the cravings for chocolate kicked in big style. I was sending JS out to the shops for emergency cream eggs every night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Third trimester</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything is going well so far. My energy is slowly disappearing, but I think that's more to do with how much effort it is to actually move my huge frame around now. I'm getting more and more panicky about the actual giving birth and I'm adamant I do not want to be in a hospital. All going well I should be able to pop him out either at home or in our local birth centre, which has water birth facilities and is more of a home away from home. Trying to not have a melt down about the fact that the baby doesn't have a decorated room yet and keep having dreams about my waters breaking in work. BUT MATERNITY LEAVE STARTS IN 8 DAYS!!!! So I'm super looking forward to being able to nap throughout the day. Hooray for time off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm also finding it harder to find clothes which are actually comfortable in this trimester, my maternity jeans are getting a little too tight as they are "over the bump" ones and they squeeze me a little too much now, so stretchy pencil skirts have been the way forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shout out to my amazing sister for "lending" me the one I currently have on today. You're the best Em <3</div>

I'm getting more and more round and I LOVE IT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bigger my belly gets, the happier I get which as someone who has worked hard their entire adult life to be "thin" I can't believe this has happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The past few weeks seem to have flown by and I can't believe there's only 5 weeks left until I go on maternity leave from work. (woohoo)</div>

Cropped jumper // motel</div>

Snakeskin vinyl skirt // Topshop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like the world is really trying to be in Springtime but it's still so chilly so the tights have stayed on and the fluffy, snuggly goodness that is this jumper made yet another appearance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know what the etiquette is for wearing cropped tops/jumpers when you're as whale-ish as I am but I've done it anyway and I love the contrast in texture between the jumper and the skirt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm also a bit of a green head at the moment as I have done a wash of Alpine Green dye through my hair to give it a green shine. Forever wishing I was a comic book villain obviously.<br />
<br />
As always, much love<br />

<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First off I'd like to apologise for the complete lack of blogging over the last couple of weeks. Things have been manic over here at Costa Del Sav with our lodgers moving out and me working 6 days a week and trying to re decorate two bedrooms. As a result of this, I am on bed rest today (and possibly tomorrow) under orders from the doctor as I am massively run down and have broken out in hives. Yeeeey!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ANYWAY, onto nicer topics. Valentines day! It's literally a week away and even tho we don't really celebrate it here (me and JS are loved up enough the rest of the year) I did see a cute idea making its way around the blogs which I thought I would try out yesterday..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My challenge, if I chose to accept it, was to create 3 looks for valentines day occasions;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Dinner Date</li>
<li>Meeting the parents</li>
<li>Casual coffee Date</li>
</ul>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my offering:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Dinner Date</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/1653283_599049963498280_1257864630_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/1653283_599049963498280_1257864630_n.jpg" width="530"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Iridescent lace Dress//Primark</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heels//Nasty Gal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know what you're thinking. Where is the red? The pink? The love hearts? Well you won't find any of that nonsense here unfortunately. I may be many things but colourful I am not. I love this dress so much and if I was being taken out for dinner this valentines day, this is exactly what I would wear. I love the iridescent shine the lace has and the scalloped edge on the bottom of the dress gives the whole thing a lovely finish. Plus, with it's cut out back, you can flash some flesh without flashing too much. I teamed them with my Nasty Gal heels, which I definitely shouldn't be wearing yet as one tumble in these bad boys and it's game over.<br>
What I really like about this outfit is that it's understated and sexy and leaves lots of room for playing with make up/hair/accessories. As I was dashing about yesterday, I didn't have too much time to do extravagant make up so this is really the basic's of this choice.<br>
<br>
<br>
<u>Meeting the parents</u><br>
<u><br></u>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t1/1604768_599049960164947_130639232_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t1/1604768_599049960164947_130639232_n.jpg" width="530"></a></div>
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
White lace collar blouse//Vintage<br>
Polka dot tshirt//Vintage<br>
Leather studded skirt//H&M<br>
<br>
I have a confession. This skirt does not zip up, like, at all. My 24 week pregnant baby bump just is having none of it so I had to disguise the open zip with some clever folding and tucking et voilà! I thought this was a fun and flirty but not too over the top sexy outfit for meeting parentals. It's been a long time since I've had to do any of that stuff (meet/impress parents) but this would be my choice. I layered the two vintage tops to create a more formal but girly look and the leather studded skirt adds a bit of an edge. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br>
<br>
<u>Casual Coffee Date</u><br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/264585_599049973498279_1941650324_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/264585_599049973498279_1941650324_n.jpg" width="530"></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black eyelash jumper//H&M</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dungarees//Ark</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my favourite outfit of the three. Mostly because it took me all of about 5 minutes to put together. I think that's the best type of outfit tho, don't you? One where you don't over think it too much and just go with your instinct. I would literally wear these dungarees all day every day if I could. I spent hours and hours trawling the internet for a pair that weren't denim/boring and Ark finally answered my prayers. With the freezing temperatures/rain we've been having, my beanie has been my go to headwear and would help to keep you looking and feeling hot. I'm actually wearing this right now because it makes me feel so good, even when I'm a poorly girl.</div>
<u><br></u>
<u>24 week update</u><br>
So as you can see from the above pictures, my baby bump has EXPLODED outwards. JS keeps looking at me and going "you're so pregnant." He's definitely not wrong.Heartburn has started coming back with a vengeance and the sleepless nights have begun. It's so hard to be comfortable when you have another person karate chopping you in the bladder every few hours. Hence the awful bags under my eyes.<br>
I am in love with my new body shape however. This is honestly the most confident I have felt about my body ever and I'm pretty sad that in a matter of 16 weeks, I'll probably go back to trying to hide my belly instead of wanting to show it off.<br>
<br>
Measurements:<br>
tummy: 100cm /39"<br>
waist: 84cm /33"<br>
<br>
No sign of stretch marks either. HOORAY!<br>
<br>
What is everyone else wearing for valentines? Have you taken the 3 outfit challenge? Post in the comments below :)<br>

It arrived!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be honest I was shocked when I answered the door to the postman this morning in my lion pyjamas and he handed me a bundle of packages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeing as I only ordered this jumper on Wednesday, I am literally over the moon with how fast the delivery was!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1544316_588617031208240_2013317086_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1544316_588617031208240_2013317086_n.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1607120_588617017874908_1811822444_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1607120_588617017874908_1811822444_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, onto the jumper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is literally the softest thing I have ever felt. As soon as I took it out of the packaging, all I wanted to do was bury my face in there and I immediately threw off said lion pyjamas and threw on the jumper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It fits just like a dream, although I'm glad I went for the medium rather than the small as I feel it would have been too short (even for a cropped jumper.) The neck, although it is a high turtleneck style isn't too tight and makes me feel like I'm having a soft furry cuddle. The quality of this jumper is superb as to be expected from Motel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so so over the moon with it and I know I will be able to carry this right through even until after my pregnancy. Bravo Motel, bravo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what I styled it with:<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mysterious beanie that appeared in my house//Motel Daisy Jumper//Zara sheer maxi skirt//Grey Plaid shirt (stolen from Will at work - I will give it back one day!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also received a gorgeous faux fur stole which I purchased from ebay what feels like a million years ago, which unfortunately, didn't survive the school run today and must have been unknowingly ripped from my shoulders as I collected R-dogg.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who's ever stepped foot in a primary school at collection time knows just how much of a circus it is, so even though I am absolutely gutted it's gone, I'm not totally surprised either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of ebay, I am selling a few bits and bobs that either don't fit anymore or I just can't wear now that I am expanding at the speed of light.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're interested, go and have a gander <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/lv-cat/m.html?_nkw&_armrs=1&_ipg&_from" target="_blank">HERE</a>, and maybe pick up a bargain!<br />
<br />
Peace and love<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two blog posts in one day (aren't I spoiling you)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The big day finally arrived!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After much waiting and bitten nails and trips to and from the hospital, we finally got to see our new baby for the second time. We had been saying from the beginning that we didn't want to know the sex of the baby but pretty much as soon as the midwife asked, we agreed to find out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I am very happy to reveal that:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/1544975_587643964638880_434934395_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="521" src="https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1/1601356_587727037963906_1050504517_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span id="goog_540105595"></span>I can't begin to explain how happy I am. It's such a nice feeling to know who's in there wiggling away every day. He didn't stay still for the scan and the midwife struggled to take all of his measurements. Looks like he's got his fathers aptitude for kicking/punching. (JS trains MMA)<br />
There were many smiles, lots of tears and lots of phonecalls to relevant grandparents.<br />
Now the fun can begin, I can start shopping for tiny boy clothes and decorations for the nursery as well as drawing up a list of names!<br />
R-dogg suggested "River" as his favourite baby name so far and we really like it too. I think we will stick with the "R" theme we have going for our growing man cubs. It's so nice to be able to call him a "he" instead of an "it." It makes it much more real.<br />
<br />
Off to trawl ebay for cute boy stuff!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being the sale snooper that I am, I bought the daisy cropped jumper. Although I seem to have a plethora of fluffy black jumpers, I kind of feel that when you live in the UK, there's no such things as "too much" when it comes to knitwear. I can't wait for it to arrive! </div>

I've become slightly obsessed with PVC and faux fur/leather recently. I think it's because pre-pregnancy I would have avoided them for fear of accidentally showing off lumps and bumps whereas now that's exactly what I do what to show off! Also, they're kind of tacky and I LOVE IT. I've seen some people style the PVC midi skirt really well over the last couple of weeks and that's also made me want one of my own. I think it will be next payday/Thursday's purchase :) The two dresses I have picked are just divine! The first has all the simple elegance I've come to expect from Zara and I think it would see me through till summer as it is perfect for layering over my mesh top, a turtle neck or a plain white t-shirt while its cold and then when the warmer weather hits, it can fly solo with some chunky platform sandals and cute socks. The Minnie dress from Monki also reminds me of this great crochet dress I had from American Apparel last year which I wore to death during the summer except it has a handy slip underneath! I love the sportswear feel it has and everyone needs a t-shirt dress in their wardrobe. Simple, fast and easy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I was also meant to have my 20 week scan today at the hospital. For those of you who are completely baby un-aware, as I was, the 20 week scan is when you find out if you're having a boy or a girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So me and JS trotted up to the hospital on his lunch break to go get scanned and see our little bean again just to find out that due to my horrific pregnancy brain (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) I had got the dates wrong and we were originally booked in to go on the 9th. Thus resulting in tears and me apologising profusely to JS and being mad at myself ect ect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a happy ending however! The amazing nurse managed to re-book me to go get my scan on Wednesday, so we only have to wait two more days. Which, will give me two more days to try and convince JS to let us find out who exactly is in there.</div>

Welcome to the first post of 2014!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for the silence over the festive period, but as anyone who has small children will know (I have a 6 year old) Christmas time is a whirlwind which leaves very little time of anything other than seeing family and making sure everyone manages to get, at least, some sleep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But regardless, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me, JS, R-dogg and the bump got incredibly spoilt this year and I was again left feeling overwhelmed by peoples love and generosity. Here's a few photo highlights:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/1604565_583818705021406_1836924077_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/1604565_583818705021406_1836924077_n.jpg" width="570" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.Hung out with my niece for a few days - 2.Got a new toy - 3.R-dogg surrounded by gifts in the car</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4.Wore my iridescent pine/black lace dress - 5.Instax of me and JS on boxing day - 6.Reds date</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7.Bit of light new years reading - 8.Gorgeous cats eye glasses from JS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So January is all about one thing - SALES! I had a wonderful day yesterday waddling around the sales in Leeds with my Sister and niece, trying things on whilst trying to entertain an 18 month old. Which was no easy task.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I managed to get a couple of gorgeous finds in the Topshop sale which hopefully I will be able to wear right through my pregnancy and afterwards as well :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favourite find was this amazing velvet and lace midi dress which I got for an outstanding £15!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It fits so well and has these lovely lace cut out bits in my rib area and up the sides as well. Just the right amount of sexy which means I can dress this up or down. I've really fallen in love with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this look I've teamed it with my red and blue velvet tasselled kimono, my black lace socks and chunky black boots.</div>

Something very exciting happened over Christmas, we started to feel the baby kicking! It's got such a vicious kick and has taken to booting me in the bladder in the middle of the night. What a rascal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so at 19 weeks:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My tummy measures: 90 cm / 35.5"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My waist is: 80 cm / 31.5"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have lots of energy and just want to eat and eat and eat, which after chirstmas is a bit of a problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The baby seems to kick more when I'm listening to music. Me and JS went to see Alcoa last night and the baby kicked and squirmed all the way through. It was wonderful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you had an amazing festive time! has anyone else found any good sale bargains?</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I received a gorrrrrgeous necklace in the post from the lovely humans over at Balance. Amongst the plethora of delicious jewellery sat this bloodstone and as soon as I saw it, I had to have it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's got such a rich depth to the colour and I've not quite managed to quite capture it fully in a photo yet and at £8 it's literally a steal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Unfortunately I'm on bed rest for the next few days as I fell down the stairs at work last night so I thought I'd do a last minute Christmas wishlist, mostly to stop me from impulse buying EVERYTHING.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realize it's a bit last minute but hey, ho.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
1.<a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/128858364/belonging-to-the-darkness-rose-gold?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Belong to the darkness ring</a> - Blood Milk £106.83 // I realise I would have had to be a veeeeeeery good girl this year to get this as the price is way out of my budget but I couldn't help but fall in love with this ring. Rose gold is so versatile and the whole things has this "evil eye" feel to it. I adore everything Blood Milk sell, it's all gorgeous handmade jewellery with the right about of creep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://osaccessories.bigcartel.com/product/incisor-bra-harness" target="_blank">Incisor bra harness</a> - OS accessories $145 // Again, another item I'm just going to have to lust after. I LOVE harnesses, there's something about adding a harness to a really pretty, floaty dress that just adds a little harder edge. This one caught my eye because of the teeth, which are PU bone reproductions and just make me do a little swoon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3.<a href="http://www.shopwithasianstereotypes.com/2013/04/we-lived-our-lives-in-black-grey-print.html" target="_blank">We lived our lived in black t-shir</a>t - SWAS $22 // I'm such a fan of shopwithasianstereotypes and already own their "It's okay to decay" t-shirt (see below). As I'm slowly expanding I feel t-shirts are going to become more and more of a staple every day thing and this one pretty much sums up my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4.<a href="http://emptycasket.bigcartel.com/product/sun-moon-layered-necklace" target="_blank">Sun & Moon layered necklace</a> - Empty Casket £10 // Empty Casket are my go-to for pretty jewellery with a twist and this sun and moon layered necklace is just what my trinket box is missing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <a href="http://www.galatashoes.bigcartel.com/product/the-dolce-boot" target="_blank">The Dolce Boot</a> - Galata shoes £36 // With so many platform boots out there it's hard to choose which ones to buy, but the Dolce Boot from Galata shoes stood out as an affordable, practical every day boot with a lovely brass buckle at the top. Plus the heel isn't too high so I reckon I could get a lot of wear out of these before I end up the size of a house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. <a href="http://www.romwe.com/romwe-cutout-crochet-short-sleeves-black-dress-p-77136.html" target="_blank">Cut out crochet dress</a> - Romwe £14.76 // This Gorgeous dress is something I've been after for a while. At under £15 it's a steal and perfect for layering for this cold weather. Plus the shape of it allows me room for expansion!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. <a href="http://www.lifeisbalance.co.uk/shop/ornaments/kitty-cat-russian-dolls/" target="_blank">Kitty Cat russian dolls</a> - Balance £8 // Everyone needs something cute at Christmas and these kitty Russian dolls are just gorgeous. They're all hand painted and adorable! Balance also stock everything from lovely jewellery to smoking essentials to clothing so they really are a shop for everyone</div>

<span id="goog_1427155460"></span><span id="goog_1427155461"></span>So here is my first post on the new blog!<br />
Silly old me forgot my password/e-mail address/everything about the last one so I'm doing a fresh start.<br />
<br />
Since my last post a couple of things have changed.<br />
1. I'm not a redhead any more.<br />
2.My lovely fiancé put a baby in me!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Basically I decided that the best way to document my expanding bump and how its affecting me/life/clothes choices would be to start up a blog again.<br />

I'm trying really hard not to buy maternity wear and just wear the things I already have. I feel like over the last 3 weeks however, my bump has exploded outwards so trying to wear jeans/pants in general is super hard. Although I am excited to go shopping for a great christmas outfit that will show off my newly developed boobs - Thank you pregnancy!</div>
