Good Morning Everyone

So it’s been a couple of weeks since I last did a pregnancy update, so thought I’d give you a new update this morning for those of you who are wanting to follow.

After seeing my midwife last week, we found out that our little girl is already a monkey and is exactly like her sister. This is because she’s lying in breech position just like Olivia was when we had her. Let’s just say, I was absolutely gutted to be told this, but after having some time to think, I feel a lot better knowing and finding out sooner rather than later, as we didn’t find out Olivia was breech until it was too late and I was in labour with her, resulting in an emergency section.

So what next? … we still have 3 weeks to see if our monkey will turn the correct way or not. 🤞🏻
Getting sent for an extra scan, where we will be 36 weeks to see if she’s still in breech position and then discussing further options but more than likely another c-section for us.

Other than that and the horrendous heartburn (which is apparently worse when carrying a breech baby - typical) and endless spoonful amounts of gaviscon, I’m doing absolutely fine & with everything all ready for monkey to make her appearance, I’m finally relaxing with my feet up. 😊

7 weeks and counting 💗

Hiya everyone

We’ve had a week at our favourite place & our last holiday as a family of 3.👨‍👩‍👧

And how fast have these 6 weeks holidays gone? I got asked by the cashier at Tesco if I was ready for Olivia to go back to school and my answer surprised him as I said No. Apparently many other parents can’t wait for their kids to go back but despite the sassiness and attitude we’ve had these past 6 weeks 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve loved spending every minute with our big girl. They do grow up so quick so I’ve not been wishing any time away but made the most of every minute together.
Olivia will always be the one who made me a mummy and the person I am today. She’s growing up so fast and it’s always been a pleasure to watch her grow.👩‍👧

As for our baby girl, the bump is still growing 🤰🏻& I’m bigger than ever. Not much room in there for her now but she’s a very active little girl in there. On countdown now for her arrival. 8 weeks & counting. 💕

The only photos I took this week 😫😂

So question

Do you decorate for autumn/halloween?
If so when are you getting those decs out? X

22/08/2024

Good Afternoon Everyone.

Just checking in.
Hope we’re all ok.
I’m now 30 weeks and bump has come out of nowhere 🤦🏻‍♀️
Starting to feel a bit like a whale 🐳 as Olivia has clearly Illustrated on her picture 😂

Olivias on holiday with her Nannan and Grandad this week and the quietness has been deafening. Missing her loads, meanwhile Nannan and Grandad are ready for another holiday on their own 😂

This week we’ve got the nursery done, all blankets and her clothes have been washed, just need to iron them and put them in her wardrobe and drawers and eagerly awaiting her arrival - 9 weeks on Monday 💕

A very sad day but happy to see what the future holds. 5 years of my floristry career has come to an end & what an absolute journey it’s been.

Thankyou to you all for joining me on my journey and been there for me when going on my own. I couldn’t have done it without you.

More importantly, I want to dedicate this post to my mum Joanne. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for you. Like everyone has said, I definitely learnt from the best. You’ve gave me my own career, & helped to support me and our family and I’ll be forever grateful.
Here’s to spending time together at Christmas and occassions without work been involved 😂 - Love you 🥰

While I’m getting all sentimental, I’d also like to say a massive Thankyou to my Dad David for doing my deliveries these past 2 years & Thankyou to Joe Boulter for always supporting me and having my back, for making the endless cups of tea & helping out when needed. Love you both ❤️ xx
