28 Week Photo

Feeling good!




Front on:
Believe it or not I wasn't posing like this! I was in the middle of telling Phil something (probably how to take the photo!) and he snapped it.

26 week photo

This was taken a week ago - I'm now 27 weeks which according to some websites is the beginning of the third trimester!
I've been getting a lot of comments from workmates, strangers, acquaintances etc about how big I am for only being 6ish months pregnant. This is making me feel a bit self conscious about my bump, and I feel embarrassed telling people I'm not due until May. Here's hoping that now I'm supposedly in my 3rd trimester I'm 'allowed' to look big, and some of these comments will stop!

A few photo's from the wedding..

..Especially for you Helen! I don't have access to the official photo's but have seen them - they are stunning! These are just a few that my Dad took on the day.
Doesn't my Mum look young in this one?? she could easily pass for 10 years younger than her actual age, would would mean she had me as a teenager - how scandalous!

And this is the happy couple with their gorgeous daughter (who is our God-daughter)

Reality Check, and the arrival of Suzie

Wow - only 15 ish weeks to go and this baby will no longer be in my belly, but out there in the big wide world. That doesn't really seem like much time to me, and its made me all frenzied to get everything ready (is this nesting??).

This wee reality check was possibly bought on by visiting our friends Cendrine and Ben and their new (less than 24hrs old when we visited!) baby Suzie. Congratulations - she's a gorgeous wee girl, so contented and calm looking.

It was strange holding her and realising I'd be doing the same in a few months except the baby girl will be mine!

24 week belly pic.

This weekend I am the most exhausted I have ever been in my life. Being a bridesmaid at a wedding yesterday with lots of standing, not enough food or drink and a naughty baby in my belly (lots of BH contractions), all on only 4hrs sleep was not much fun. My emotional preggy hormones didn't help matters either and I lost my nut several times over the weekend. I feel like its going to take a full week to recover although I have the task of babysitting the brides energetic preschooler daughter for the whole week, so unfortunately there won't be much time for that.
On the upside, I do have an amazing husband and family have been/are being very helpful, and I got lots of compliments for the wedding cake (which I made).
You can see my sad, tired face in the picture!
