We have discovered that we are definitely moving this Summer and I started to wonder what I would miss about living here. Number one has to be the views from our windows…this photo was taken from my bedroom window this evening:

I am always blogging about how grown up Rosie is for her age (now 21 months). However, pictures like this remind me she is still my little girl really:

It was Poppy’s first day back at School yesterday…in fact she was only there for half a day and she caught head lice for the first time ever!
We treated it immediately. There were no eggs or nits just the lice…quite a few of them.
Despite not being happy about it she has been very patient and sat really well whilst having her hair done.

At 26 weeks my bump seems to be growing daily and there is no mistaking that I am pregnant. The girls are both fascinated with it too!

I am now 26 Weeks pregnant and starting to feel it.
This week my baby measures approximately 36cm top to toe and weighs around 760g (1.5 – 2.2 Ibs). She is also now apparently the size of a lettuce!
Around now her eyes may begin to open. Her eyes and her eyelashes have developed. Her immune system continues to develop and she is practising breathing.
As for me, well this is not my best week. In fact I am starting to suffer from some of the indignities associated with pregnancy.
My skin continues to itch and burn, I have discussed it with my midwife who tells me it is normal and associated with stretching of the skin. I’m not so sure as it is top to toe! She has however, arranged for me to have some blood tests in a few weeks time to rule out liver associated problems.
The baby is now resting on my bladder which is not good particularly when I have a nasty cold and cough! I constantly feel the need to pee and have to cross my legs or run to the bathroom when coughing or sneezing.
My bump is growing now and is quite uncomfortable at night time, meaning I am not sleeping as well as usual.
I am feeling a bit sorry for myself this week (can you tell?) – unwell, uncomfortable and emotional.
Hoping next week is a better one.

Its that time of year again ….The Mad Blog Awards where fantastic blogs get recognised and win prizes.
Well guess what? I have been nominated! Not just once either but twice for Best Baby and Best Pregnancy Blog! I am thrilled!
I have been watching all my friends and blogs I love get selected and didn’t realise until today that I had been nominated too. A huge thank you to whoever nominated me.
I started blogging back in January 2011 when my Husband was away. It was a way of recording family life but I had no idea what I was doing. Then I began a mission to make myself feel fit and yummy again and started reviewing beauty products.
One year on and my blog has changed direction massively as our little family of four are about to become five. These days it is all about our family life, my pregnancy and parenting. I am also in the process of making the move to become self hosted so watch this space.
I don’t expect to win an award as there are lots of other fantastic blogs out there. However, there is not much time left so I would love to get some more votes. If you haven’t already voted please feel free to add my name in, it would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
