9. MY 1ST WEEK IN THE NEW PLACE, GOING ON MATERNITY LEAVE, PACKED MY HOSPITAL BAG, HELLO BIG GUY!

MY LIFE

I KNOW IVE SAID IT BEFORE BUT THE WEEKS ARE FLYING IN, IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A WEEK EVERY TIME I GO TO WRITE A NEW BLOG POST. THE QUICKER THE WEEKS GO THE QUICKER I GET TO MEET MY BABY BUT I REALLY DO WANT TIME TO SLOW DONE FOR NOW. SO I CAN GET A WEE REST BEFORE HE COMES AS THIS RATE IM GOING TO GET ABOUT 2 DAYS HAHA!! I MOVED ALL MY FURNITURE INTO MY NEW PLACE ON THURSDAY WITH HELP FROM FAMILY, IVE MENTIONED BEFORE THAT I AM A HOARDER AND KEEP EVERYTHING BUT YOU JUST WONDER WHERE ALL YOUR STUFF COMES FROM WHEN YOU START PUTTING IT INTO BAGS AND BOXES. I DID HOWEVER THROW LOADS OUT AND DONATED 4 BAGS OF CLOTHES TO CHARITY ALTHOUGH I REALLY SHOULD HAVE GAVE MORE WITH THE AMOUNT I DON’T WEAR OF MY STUFF BUT I CAN’T PART WITH IT. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN NON STOP MY WHOLE PREGNANCY AND ESPECIALLY NOW TRYING TO MAKE A HOME, BUT I MUST ADMIT I AM LOVING IT BEING ALL CREATIVE AND ORGANISING THINGS INTO PLACE. YOU CAN JUST TELL THIS HOUSE IS ME SO FAR WITH ALL THE PINKS AND GREENS. I AM SO GRATEFUL ALSO WITH THE HELP FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS THE PAST WEEK TOO. IM FEELING REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF TOO FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE AND DOING FOR MY BOY COMING ALONG IN 2 WEEKS TIME. I REALLY DO FEEL I WILL BE IN THIS PLACE A GOOD WHILE, IT FEELS LIKE HOME ALREADY AND THATS A BIG STATEMENT FROM ME CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE MOVED. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF HOUSE I LIVED IN UNTIL I WAS 4 UNTIL MY MUM AND DAD SPLIT UP AND FOR SOME REASON IT JUST FEELS RIGHT.

PREGNANCY - ONLY 2 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!

ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN MEGA BUSY THIS PAST WEEK HAS ACTUALLY BEEN THE WORST FOR MY SWOLLEN FEET AND HANDS AND STILL HAVE THE SWOLLEN GLANDS IN MY NECK WITH A COUGH, THAT I HOPE CLEARS SOON. IVE FELT LIKE ITS MUCH SORER TO WALK AND REALLY STRUGGLING TO GET MY TRAINERS ON MOST DAYS LOL WHICH DOESN’T HELP WHEN YOUR STANDING IN QUEUES AT THE SHOPS , I FEEL LIKE SHOUTING SOMETIMES HURRY UP I NEED TO SIT DOWN, MY FEET ARE ABOUT TO BURST OUT MY SHOES HAHAHA!! I KEEP CALLING MYSELF FAT TOES! IVE NOT FELT THE TIRED EPISODE I WAS EXPECTING TO FEEL IN THE 3RD TRIMESTER LIKE THE SPELLS I HAD IN THE 1ST. MAYBE BECAUSE IM JUST NOT ALLOWING MYSELF TO FEEL THAT WAY. SHIT HAS GOT TO GET DONE. I ADDED SOME WEE TOUCHES TO CONORS NURSEY LIKE HALF CIRLES BETWEEN THE 2 COLOURS, I USED A WEE SAUCER AND MASKING TAPE AND DIDN’T TAKE LONG AT ALL. I WANT TO PAINT LEAVES AND SOME OTHER STUFF BUT ILL SEE IT ALL GOES AS IT WILL BE A WHILE BEFORE HE SLEEPS IN THERE ANYWAY. I WILL BE STAYING WITH MY MUM FOR AROUND A MONTH AFTER MY SECTION AS IM REALLY GOING TO NEED HELP WITH EVERYTHING. IT WILL BE REALLY NICE TO SHARE SUCH A SPECIAL TIME TOGETHER. I HAVE MY SNUZPOD AND MOSES BASKET SET UP THERE ALREADY AND JUST TO ADD IN CONORS CLOTHES AND MINE. MY MUM IS MY BIRTHING PARTNER. IN 2 WEEKS TIME ILL BE HOLDING CONOR IN MY ARMS I ACTUALLY CAN’T BELIEVE IT.

I REPACKED MY HOSPITAL BAG WITH EILISH MY BROTHERS GIRLFRIEND, WHO IS GOING TO BE ONE OF CONORS GODMOTHERS ALONG WITH MY SISTER. IT WAS GREAT TO GET ALL THE ADVICE AND TIPS AS I REALLY NEED LOADS ON EVERY MATTER. IVE JUST GOT MY BITS TO PUT IN JAMMIES, MY OUTFIT FOR GOING HOME AND TOILETRIES, IVE MADE SURE IVE PUT MY SNACKS IN ALREADY MIND YOU, CANT BE FORGETTING MY CHOCOLATE HAHA! COME TO THINK ABOUT TO I FORGOT ABOUT THAT BAG IM GOING TO STEAL A WEE WISPA OUT IT THE NOW LOL! WE ALSO PRACTISED USING THE CAR SEAT WITH A TEDDY MY NEPHEW ANTHONY PICKED FOR CONOR WHILST HE WAS IN FLORIDA THIS YEAR. HOW CUTE!

HAVING THE PRAM CENTRE BUILD THE NURSERY FURNITURE WAS SUCH A GREAT IDEA OTHERWISE IT WOULD STILL BE SITTING IN BOXES. IVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO HANG ALL HIS CLOTHES UP YET BUT HOPEFULLY WILL BY THE WEEKEND. JOANNE HELPED ME PUT THE PRAM TOGETHER WHICH WAS SO NICE AS WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE THE WOMB, OUR PARENTS WERE BEST FRIENDS AND THERE IS ONLY 2 MONTHS BETWEEN US 2 SO FRIENDS STRAIGHT FROM THE WOMB!

CONOR’S BIG GIRAFFE HAS ARRIVED ALSO I SO HOPE IT DOESN’T SCARE HIM HEHE!

MATERNITY LEAVE

THE AMOUNT OF NEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE CONTACTED ME IN THE PAST WEEK HAS BEEN CRAZY AND IVE FELT SO BAD TURNING PEOPLE AWAY BUT I HAD TO SAY NO. OTHERWISE MY HOUSE WOULD NEVER BE READY IN TIME. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR EVERY MESSAGE AND CALL THAT COMES THROUGH AND SO HOPE IT CONTINUES WHEN I AM BACK. I JUST CAN’T AT THIS STAGE GIVE A DATE WHEN I WILL BE BACK, AS I AM GOING TO JUST ENJOY THIS TIME BEING THE BEST MUM I CAN BE TO CONOR AND GIVE HIM ALL MY TIME AND IN DUE COURSE GIVE NOTICE AS TO WHEN I WILL OPEN MY BOOKS BACK UP. I AM MISSING DOING HAIR ALREADY I AM NOT GOING TO LIE AND SEEING ALL YOUR LOVELY FACES AND GOSSIP SO PLEASE COME VISIT FOR CONOR CUDDLES IN THE MEAN TIME.

HEY BLONDIE

AS THE PICTURES I HAVE INCLUDED IN THE MY BLOGS SO FAR HAVE BEEN DARK HAIR I THOUGHT I WOULD BRIGHTEN UP THE POST WITH THIS BLONDE BOMBSHELL. JUST LOOK AT HOW FRESH IT LOOKS AND THICK! A BEAUTIFUL COLOUR FOR THE WINTER, MY CLIENT JUST LOVES IT WHICH MAKES ME SO HAPPY. IT IS HER 1ST TIME WITH THE WEAVE METHOD HAVING GONE FOR BONDS PREVIOUSLY WITH SOMEONE ELSE. SHE IS NOW HOOKED ON THIS METHOD AND HAS FOUND THE METHOD FOR HER NOW. I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE PUT THEIR TRUST IN ME TO TRY THE WEAVE METHOD AS IT REALLY IS THE BEST AND SURPRISINGLY LIGHT ON YOUR HAIR.

THIS IS 180G 20 INCH NAKED WEAVE WITH THE PERFECT COLOUR BLEND

I HAVE STILL TO ARRANGE FOR MY NEW FITTING AS WELL . WHICH I WILL NEXT WEEK ALONG WITH MY NAILS AND DERMAPLANE FACIAL.
