I'm Pregnant!!!

Hey Hey!

I know I know, I have been seriously slacking, but I have a very good reason!

After losing our baby back in April, we decided to take full advantage of the Drs advice, that we would be much more fertile during the 3-6 months following our loss, and I am now 19 weeks and 2 days pregnant!!!

I have been incredibly anxious, and still am if i'm honest. Two lots of early bleeding didn't help, but each time my local Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic scanned me, and each time our little bean had a strong heart beat.

At 13 weeks we had our official dating scan, which is when I began to let myself believe I may actually have a baby in my arms at the end of this journey. The scan was amazing, our little munchkin was kicking and squirming all over the place, and so earned themselves the name 'Wiggle Bum'.

Along with our boys we were incredibly excited, we couldn't wait to share the news. Obviously with our history we had kept our little one a secret, except from immediate family, and I shared with my closest friends. When we were given the all clear at our scan we decided to let Evan and Harry share with everyone! 

So, now you know, how has my pregnancy been so far? In one word, sick!
With my boys I had a little nausea in the afternoons and evenings, other than that, I sailed through early pregnancy. This time round, it has been ohh soo different!
Until 16 weeks, everything made me sick, I was able to eat very little and most of what I did made a reappearance. I have been exhausted despite doing very little with my time, and hyper emotional, all very new things for me, as my husband says I have a heart of stone! The only plus is that I have gained very little weight, something that is important to me considering I am already a plus size mum to be. I plan on swimming to keep myself active during the second half of my pregnancy and hopefully keep my weight gain at a reasonable level.

I plan on doing weekly pregnancy updates, these will begin with a gender announcement! 

I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with you!

Take care lovelies!

Much Love,

Mummy Monday! A Little Look At My Family!

Hey Hey!

 

Welcome back to my blog.

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend and a great start to the new week.
 

It's half term here for us, so I thought i would do a little post about my boys! I thought it might be fun to share a little bit about my family with you lovely people.

 

Steve and I have been together for very nearly 13 years, and married for almost 10. By the time we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary we were almost 6 months pregnant with our first little munchkin! Evan came into the world in 2006 and changed us forever!

 

 

 

He's a handsome chap isn't he! 

He is so incredibly kind and thoughtful, and totally laid back, just like his daddy! He's unbelievably intelligent too, the boy can do maths that baffles me! His love's in life are his scooter, video games, his best friends...AKA 'The Crazy Bulldog Gang' and anything non vegetable!

When Evan was one we got a little surprise, we discovered we were expecting again! Totally not planned so soon but we were in love instantly.

In 2008 our little firecracker came screaming into the world. Meet Harry!

 

As you can see from the little selection of pictures, Harry is completely individual! He has a fiery personality and keeps us on our toes, he also keeps us laughing too, he's a tiny little comic!

His loves in life are video games, dressing up and pizza......oh, and chocolate cake! 

 

My boys, are quite frankly, my world, so will no doubt feature highly as this blog grows, I hope you'll enjoy the little snippets of them as they grow.

I've never really known what I wanted from life, but as soon as I became a mummy I knew, it's probably the most rewarding job in the world, although they drive me batcrap crazy at times I wouldn't be without them!

 

 

So that's it for today, I hope you enjoyed this little snippet!

I'll be back later in the week so watch out for more ramblings, don't forget you can also follow me on my other social network outlets!

 

Have a great evening!

Much Love,
