PREGNANCY: AUTUMN STROLLS IN THE PARK


 Dress: New Look Maternity 
Bag: Accessorize 
Necklace: Lovisa 
Boots: Primark 


We decided to go for a little stroll in the park today, I really wanted to get some photos of the bump now shes getting bigger. We only have about 4 weeks left so it won't be around for much longer. 
We picked some conkers and had a nice slow walk around the park. My mom got me this dress from the New Look maternity range, I think it was actually in the sale. It's such a comfy dress but you could easily dress it up or down. I think it looks so cute with my leopard print bag from Accessorize. 

I spent this week getting bubba's clothes washed and ready for her arrival. Clint has put the Next To Me up so thats ready and my bags are pretty much all packed and ready to go. We have transferred our care to a different hospital this week. We live pretty much in the middle of two hospitals and because we were having alot of scans and appointment it was easier to just leave it at the one thats slightly closer even though I wanted to have her at the other hospital. Our growth scans have been going really well and she's now above the line ( she was hovering on the line previously) we have one more growth scan so we managed to get all swapped over. They were also talking about us possibly having a C-section but I don't think this is the case now, I think we are going to be left to go into labour naturally which i'm so happy about.

The back pain is real and i've been struggling over the last few weeks. I'm so glad I finished work when I did, I've had a couple of weeks holiday and last week was my first week of maternity leave. It's been nice to relax and not worry about getting everything done because I know I have time. I've been watching Gossip Girl on Netflix and watching lots of youtube videos. I haven't blogged as much as i'd liked but my motivation hasn't been great. I've been feeling really hungry and exhausted over the past few days. The heartburn is still here and very uncomfortable. I've also been having some braxton hicks and lightning pains so I think shes getting ready for her arrival. So i've found the last few weeks hard as i'm struggling to get comfy. I'm still sleeping pretty well, a good 8-9 hours a night and just get up about 3/4 times for the toilet. 

We are both very excited for her arrival, i'm so excited to have Clint at home with me for a few weeks. We are just making the most of the next few weeks together. We've just been out for some food and we plan to go the cinema later in the week and I want to go on a few more walks together. 








FASHION: BRITISH SUMMER WISHLIST


Today's post is a British summer wishlist, we've been having some rubbish weather the past few days so I thought i'd pop a few warmer pieces on my wishlist and share them with you. As you may or may not know i'm pregnant so some of these bits are maternity wear however some bits are not and just normal sizing.

I'm loving this blush pink colour right now and I love this pink skater maternity dress from Topshop. It's just a pretty colour and would be very easy to wear, you could even wear it with tights and a cardigan in the Autumn months.
I've included this Tiba and Marl changing bag/ weekend bag as I really like it and have been looking for a nice changing bag, I like that it's black and would go well with everything. It's a really good size so would easily fit all my bits and pieces for baby inside and would be a great hospital bag. 
Next is this really cute top from New Look, this isn't a maternity style but it would go over my bump and this top is a steal! It's only £7.99 so if you like it go and order it because it won't be around for long. 
I need some new maternity jeans so i've picked out these ones from Topshop as I don't have any blue maternity jeans and I like the ripped knee and distressed look of these and they are in the sale. 
How cute are these little sandals from New Look, the look so easy to wear, maybe not weather appropriate for all the rain we've had but so cute for those warmer days. 
Another blush pink item I know!! This cardigan from Asos is so cute though, I love the colour and it looks so snug and comfy perfect for those colder days, it would be easy to throw on over some jeans and a cute t-shirt. 
Finally, it's coming up to my birthday and I usually ask for a new watch, I haven't been wearing my watches much recently but this Olivia Burton one is so cute, I love the little bee's and the grey strap is very versatile and easy to wear. 

So that's my wishlist for this month, I will be putting together another wishlist next month for my birthday month! Let me know what you think of these bits and send over links to your wishlists.
