I can not believe it's the last day of April! Where has this month gone? It really has flown by. We've had some lovely family days out this month and we've all loved it! On the last Me and Mine, in March I said I wanted to try and get a family photo every month from now on as we will only be a family 4 for another 2 months. It's really mad to think that in July's Me and Mine our first little boy will be joining us.

My beautiful girls... Mammy's sorry for not being able to do some things for you both, Mammy just feels tired and not herself  But I can promise you that Mammy is trying her very best, her very best to keep you both happy.
There may be times where Mammy just wants some peace and quiet, So I don…

HOW I AM FEELING
Can not believe this is my LAST week in the second trimester. I have been waiting and waiting to reach the 3rd trimester and now I just want to hit that 30 week mark. It's starting to go quite slow now considering the second trimester has gone pretty fast for me up until the past week. Baby boy has been making me feel quite uncomfortable this week. I will happily leave something on the floor if it meant I had to bend down and pick it up! 

I have had a rough week with everything. I have come to that stage where I feel like I just need a break from everything but yet again, there's still so much to do and I hope I get the energy to do it very soon so I can just relax in the last few weeks before baby boy arrives. I recently wrote a post about how I am currently coping with pregnancy and two children. It's hard but I am getting there {I have too!}

Finding out you are pregnant is a wonderful thing. Something you will always look back at. For the first time it is really special and scary going through the pregnancy alone. When you are pregnant for the second, third or even fourth {or more} time then you have other little people to think about too. It can be pretty scary expecting another baby when you already have children because you don't know how your other children are going to react. The last thing you want is for them to feel left out. There are many ways you can involve your children in your pregnancy and by involving them, it can help them understand a bit more about the new arrival and also bond with their unborn baby brother or sister.

If you are a regular reader you may have seen that I did a similair post a good few weeks ago before heading into my second trimester. If not, you can read my growing bump 12-17 weeks post here. I am really glad I have taken a few photos every single week through out my pregnancy and I can't wa…

Seeing as I now have just under 3 months to go until Baby boy arrives, I have been thinking about the last few things we need to buy. I don't think I have ever been so laid back about buying the 'main' things. We've been really lucky to be given a lot of boys clothes, so we aren't too bad on baby clothes right now. I still want to buy a few more colourful and monochrome baby-grows.

I am not going to lie this pregnancy has by far been the hardest pregnancy compared to my first and second. I do wake up most mornings and think how am I going to last and cope all day? How am I going to do the school runs in the morning and afternoon? How am I going to cope with getting all the housework done. As I am getting bigger and further along in the pregnancy, I have worried more about how am I going to cope in the later stages. It would help if I did drive instead of having to rely on others and having to walk but I guess the walking part is good as any kind of exercise is good in pregnancy, isn't it?

Baby boy is growing more and more each week now, which means my bump is growing bigger. A few clothes I've had to stop wearing because bump is too big and the clothes are just getting to uncomfortable. I am always on the look out for new maternity wear or any other clothing I think that will be comfortable. If you follow my blog and pregnant posts you may notice that I live in my maternity leggings. So, when I go shopping for maternity clothing I always try and find something I can team up with leggings.

Last week my partner decided for us all to go to the cinema to watch The Jungle Book. The girls got super excited and we did use the cinema excuse nearly all week for them to behave! Mia watched The Jungle Book trailer on YouTube a few times and got so excited everytime she watched it. Coming up t…

On Saturday Elliw and I went out for the day with a friend and her two children. Seeing as the sun was out I thought it would be perfect to have a walk on Bangor Pier. Bangor Pier is just one of the great places you can visit in North Wales. If you are walking from town to the pier you would never think there is a pier at the end of the road but once you get to the pier, it is beautiful. Especially if the sun is out and the skies are blue.

When going to hospital Mums are advised to bring some cotton wool to clean baby's bottom and parts when they need a nappy change. However, this time I will be bringing some Water Wipes with me. Water Wipes are the world's purest baby wipes ever. They are perfect for a newborn's sensiti…

I had Obstetric Cholestasis in my first and second pregnancy so it was no surprise that I was going to have it again in this third and last pregnancy. I started to feel a very mild itch from very early on, roughly 12 odd weeks. When I was 20 weeks + 5 days pregnant I phoned the pregnancy unit at h…

The past week has been hard. I am not going to lie. There is no point hiding it really is there? Sometimes it's better when you just let everything out. You could say it's my pregnancy hormones that are all over the place and yes it's probably true but the things I have found hard this week aren't silly things. They are day-to-day struggles.

Week 52! ONE YEAR! 

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Justanotherlinky! It's week #52 which means this little ol' linky is now 1 years old. You can check out the first ever week here. Doesn't feel like a year already. It really is mad. I just want to thank everyone who has linked up the past…

HOW I AM FEELING
Ah! How on earth am I 26 weeks already?! These weeks are flying by now but I can see the next few weeks are going to drag as I can't wait to reach the 30 weeks point. I have struggled with bending down and walking a fair distance this week. I have also suffered with leg cramps when I stretch! I really want to do a BIG stretch but after having a huge cramp on my right leg Monday morning I haven't had a good ol' stretch since! Boo! 

I am now 26 weeks and I must admitt I am feeling so uncomfrtoable. I am struggling to get up from my bed or chair, struggling to bend down and also struggling to find something comfortable to wear. It's so important to feel as comfortable as you can during pregnancy and clothing can be a huge help with this. Choosing the right clothing is important, you shouldn't wear something that is too tight for you around your growing bump. It is always best to wear something loose and comfortable (my opinion).

If you are a regular reader of my blog then you may have noticed that I have been on a reollercoaster ride on my weight loss journey. Roughly February time last year I had lost 3 and a half stone, I went to visit Thailand for three weeks and gained at least 7lbs if I remember and ever since I have just been gaining. I am not 26 weeks pregnant and I have my current weight is my starting weight when I first ever joined Slimming World, which I am really dissapointed about. I am trying my best not to go over board in this pregnancy. So far I haven't gained as much as I thought I would in the pregnancy, which is good I guess! However, after baby is born I really want to get my act together and do something about it.

I think back to when I had lost 3 and a half stone and I was happy. I was fitting back into clothes that hadn't fitted me since before I had Elliw. I was fitting into clothes that I loved, not clothes that I had to buy because I had to hide my fat on my stomach, back, hips and legs. I was buying them and wearing them because I could.

One of the most exciting times of the year for parent and child is a child's birthday. It's a time where a parent can look back at the years and think how fast it has gone. For a child, they are more than likely to be more excited that they are a year older, a new age number and most impor…

Mia is my first born. My eldest and still my baby girl. She is a big sister to two little girls, Elliw and her sister on her Dad's side. She will now be a big sister to a little boy in July and she is starting to be very excited about meeting him. She loves asking about him and asking when will he arrive and so on. She is so interested in knowing about him.

" Life is only a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see "

I love how different my girls are. They dress different, they act different, they are just oh so different. Mia is at that age where she loves choosing her own clothes. She has been like that for about a year. She hardly ever wears jeans as she feels uncomfortable in them and only now and then wears tights. She loves her leggings too much, just like me! Some of Mia's outfits are totally mix-match but that's what makes her Mia! She has recently asked me to help her choose her outfit which can be stress at times because she does say no to a lot of things. But it can also be fun going through different outfits.

If you have read this post before then you may know that I don't really have a relationship with my Mother. Well, about 10 or so weeks ago I stupidly made an effort to get her number from my aunty (her sister). My aunty gave her my number but Mother didn't contact me and about a week later I ended up contacting her. She told she wasn't well and that was the reason she couldn't contact me. She probably was ill but when the excuse of being 'unwell' has been the excuse for the past 20+ years, It's kind of hard to believe.
