Week 27 I was feeling really good this week (well, during the day at least – more on that later!), and I was so happy to start to see a few of the big things get ticked off our list. Our double glazing went in, which is so ridiculously exciting as it means we said goodbye to…
Ever since I became pregnant and started Googling all things pregnancy and babies, my ad results on both the internet and social media have changed DRAMATICALLY. I’m getting ads for all sorts of things popping up now, from diapers to breast pumps. One ad that I noticed kept popping up on my Facebook was an advert for…
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s got me thinking of unique and special ways I can treat Mum this year. I feel so blessed to have such a close relationship with my mum, and we literally talk about everything! I always look forward to my trips to Dunedin to see her, and always miss her…
Over the last few months, I’ve been doing so much research and reading about pregnancy and babies. While I always knew the basics of all this stuff, it’s amazing just how much you don’t know until you have a good reason to learn! Here’s 6 things I didn’t know about being pregnant…. until now! Just how tired…
Ah the Kmart Milk Frother. A genius little appliance that not only froths, but heats your milk, allowing you to make hot drinks almost as good as you’d get in a coffee shop. I purchased my Milk Frother about six months ago when they were fairly new out. Now they seem to be super popular, with many…
At the end of every week, I sit down to update this post and I can’t believe how fast time is going! It feels like it wasn’t that long ago I was excited about the first trimester nearly being over, and here we are heading towards the start of the third! I can officially say I’m six…
I’ve mentioned this before, but before being pregnant, I kind of assumed that all maternity wear was ugly and unflattering. I had expectations of living in leggings and baggy tshirts for the entire pregnancy, and as someone who loves her fashion, this killed me a little inside. It wasn’t until I started looking at maternity clothes that…
Ever since we found out I was pregnant, I’ve been dying to know what flavour baby will be. I’m probably the most impatient person, and while I do like surprises, there was no way I could hold off until July to find out. So last month at our 20 week anatomy scan, we found out if baby…
When I found out I was pregnant, I knew straight away I would be investing in a pair of maternity jeans. I’m totally a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal, and since I’d be spending a good chunk of being pregnant in winter, I knew I’d need some sort of jeans or pants to keep me warm.…
Week 18 The week of no sleep. I sort of thought now was the time when I was supposed to be sleeping heaps, as people are always like “better get it while you can”, but this week my sleep was terrible. I’d be lucky to get 3-4 hours a night, which was definitely not enough as I…
