Hear Me Roar! - Maternity Edition

Today I am 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant - just 2 days away from my due date! How time has flown!

The pressure is now on to get everything ready for the new arrival!

I must admit that I am looking forward to getting back in shape and having more options on what to wear from my closet! In the meantime, I am staying cool in the sunshine in maxi dresses like this one by Next. It isn't a maternity dress but it is floaty enough to embrace the bump!

I have resorted to wearing my wedding and engagement rings around my neck as my fingers swell up in the heat - hopefully I will be able to wear them on my finger again after baby girl makes an appearance!

Pregnancy Update Weeks 37 - 38





My pregnancy update for weeks 37 - 38 is now live on YouTube!



Look out for my 39 weeks + video in the next couple of weeks. Today (28th June) I am 39 weeks + 3 days. I can't believe we will be meeting baby girl any day now! Exciting (and also rather terrifying)!



This weekend we are busy getting the nursery ready so look out for a nursery tour video in the next few weeks once we have it all finished!

Pregnancy Update Weeks 35 - 36





My 35 - 36 week pregnancy update is now on YouTube!

This video logs my experiences and symptoms in weeks 35 and 36 of pregnancy.

I had another growth scan and two midwife/ consultant appointments as well as my first 3 hour long ante natal class!



37 - 38 week update to follow shortly!



Apologies for the delay in uploading this video - the nesting instinct has kicked in and I can't stop tidying the house and preparing the nursery for baby girl!

Wedding Guesting - Maternity Edition

I love a good family wedding and travelling down to St. Albans at over 37 weeks pregnant was actually a lot less uncomfortable than I thought it would be! Well worth it to see my younger cousin walk down the isle looking stunning! It was a 'tale of three bumps' because two of my cousins are also expecting and it was so fun to compare bumps and see all of us together!
Dressing for a wedding when you are heavily pregnant isn't the easiest of challenges but I loved this dress by New Look which I picked up in their maternity sale. I did feel that it had gotten mysteriously shorter than when I had tried it on the week before - clearly baby girl had had a growth spurt! - but it was still super comfortable. I teamed the dress with my Zara blazer and a rose headband from Accessorize and I was wedding guest ready!
I wore a pair of Zara nude heels to finish the outfit off but much to my dismay the heel started to come away from the shoe by the end of the day which is not particularly safe for a heavily pregnant lady so they will be going back! :(
All round a fantastic day and a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Amy and Kegan on their marriage - I wish you all the best in your future together!
