My last update was at 32 weeks here, and blimey time flies! I’ve now finished work and although the next two weeks are actually annual leave rather than maternity leave it means that if everything goes to plan I have around 4 weeks until this baby appears! Appointments I had my 34 week midwife appointment… Read More
Hands down the most comfortable dress I’ve worn this pregnancy is this gorgeous dress from Frugi. Not only is it comfy now but it has discreet nursing panels so that I can continue wearing it once the bump has become a baby! I love the pattern, bright bold florals on a navy background. I… Read More

I went to Egypt on our honeymoon at 13 weeks pregnant, then to the Czech Republic at 22 weeks pregnant, and during this pregnancy went to Morocco at 18 weeks. Prague at 22 weeks, so many layers that the bump’s not visible! Both Egypt and… Read More
