<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It has been well over a month since I last blogged, I have missed it so much!! We have been so busy over the last month I don't even know where to start. As it's bank holiday and Edward is a bit under the weather we are having a stay at home chill out day whilst Anthony and his friend do some decorating. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Edward is nearly 5 months old! I can't believe how much he has changed, since our last update he has started to roll from his front onto his back, he's started babbling away which is so cute. We have mini conversations which obviously make no sense but I love it. He has also started weaning which I will be posting about in the future, so far I have loved weaning and it has been going smoothly finger crossed we carry on like this. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you follow me on instagram you will know that we have finally moved into our new house. We finally got our keys on the 24th of April, it seemed to take forever and after having one house fall through (which was a blessing really) it felt like it was never going to happen for us. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When we moved in the house was painted pink throughout and needed gutting, we ripped everything up and decorated throughout. Two weeks later we moved in and we can finally say we own a family home!! This week we are having the kitchen fitted and I am so excited as this will be the last room done and I can start to finish all the rooms off with a few bits and bobs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Before we moved in we had a family holiday to Cornwall, it was Edwards first holiday we went with my Mum, Dad and sisters. It was so nice to be back at my second home, we are planning on going again in September as we loved it that much. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In February I very kindly gifted some Forever Living products for myself and Edward to try out. I had heard about the products and had looked into the benefits of Aloe Vera before and I have to admit that I was a little sceptical, I had read that the products had many health benefits and could be used for many different things. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So when I was offered the chance to try out some products I couldn't turn it down. I have to say that I have been really impressed by the products and there many uses, especially for Edward. A big thank you to Olivia who gave me the opportunity to try the products!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8_fwa89hZ20kXcLSXR3UOAAPtixOr6neXV7I87X89Dxi3NLH2IwXfDdRMuLiQIzsWb25Cm5oSSnxKkYr3Vcz_sIFS-qgwsMf1_33xXB-izdgTk4UudcWswcIEUsjSM5SSM7AWHi6sGRCa/s1600/all+products.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8_fwa89hZ20kXcLSXR3UOAAPtixOr6neXV7I87X89Dxi3NLH2IwXfDdRMuLiQIzsWb25Cm5oSSnxKkYr3Vcz_sIFS-qgwsMf1_33xXB-izdgTk4UudcWswcIEUsjSM5SSM7AWHi6sGRCa/s1600/all+products.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These are the products that I was given to use: Eye cream, Face and Hand soap, Heat Lotion, Aloe Vera Gelly, Aloe Propolis Creme and the Relaxation Bath Salts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Heat Lotion, Bath Salts and Eye Creme are for adult use only, the heat lotion is brilliant and has been passed around the rest of my family as well. It has been used for aching shoulders, aching backs and period pains (tmi for some sorry). You only need to use the smallest amount of lotion, it soon heats up the area and relieves the pain from the muscles. Apparently it's brilliant for a gym bag (I can't vouch for this my self as I am not a big gym fan).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I tend to use the eye creme on days when I am leaving the house with a full face of make up. It is to brighten and relieve puffiness under the eyes. As soon as I apply the creme I can feel it tightening the skin, I usually then apply concealer and foundation on top. It definitely makes me feel less conscious about the broken sleep eye bags I have developed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have used the bath salts a couple of times, they have a very spa like smell to them which in a nice deep bath after a long day of changing nappies and entertaining a baby is amazing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The only downfall I personally found is that as they are salts there are no bubbles (nit picking I know but I do love bubbles) so I added a few pumps of the hand and face soap to create my bubbles. I definitely felt the difference on my skin it was so soft and smooth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Aloe Gelly can be used for anything and everything, Olivia mentioned that it can even be swallowed if you have a sore throat!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The three products which are suitable for baby's are the Face & Hand Soap, Aloe Gelly and the Propolis Creme. I have to admit that these three products have been my favourite to use both on my self and Edward. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used the Propolis and Aloe Gelly on Edwards cradle cap. I had previously used olive oil and special shampoos but nothing had been moving it. The propolis can be used to soothe irritation as well as the Aloe Gelly, I remebered that Olivia had told me the both work together really well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I applied the propolis first and then the gelly, left it on in the day (if we weren't heading out anywhere) or overnight if we had been busy. I then washed it off in the bath as usual. It worked really well and with a couple of days application the cradle cap had cleared up. I've also used the proplis and gelly on my skin when it has been going through a dry phase and it really helped to re hydrate my skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Hand and Face soap can be used from as early as 3 days, it is gentle on the skin as well as moisturising, it has a really subtle scent. I use this religiously for Edwards bath time and have found that after using this his skin is so soft and looks a lot clearer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All in all I have been loving the products and have already placed my order for some more! They can be ordered online through Olivia's page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.foreverolivia.co.uk%2F&h=kAQHkE0m_" target="_blank">here</a> there are so many other products as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have any questions about the products leave them in the comments and I'll try my best to answer them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed reading something a little different from me. </span><br />

<u style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You will need: </u></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Any brand of shredded wheat </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">400g of chocolate (200g for a small batch) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mini eggs </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fluffy chicks (optional) I picked mine up from hobby craft but you can get them just about anywhere </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hoppy bunny cadburys chocolate </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bun cases </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bun tray or plate</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><u>Prep:</u> place bun cases into the bun tray so they are ready to go. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Break up the shredded wheat until you are left with small nest like bits. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. Melt the chocolate, either over hot water or in the microwave. I started with water and then didn't have the patience so blasted it in the microwave. I did this for about 20 seconds a time so it didn't burn or go grainy. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Pour the shredded wheat into the chocolate a little at a time and stir. Continue doing this until most of the chocolate has covered the shredded wheat. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know not everyone reading this will have children or make these with children. But if you are I thought I would include <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> a quick side note on why I used this within my teaching. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When making these nest buns there were a lot of things that I could discuss with the children. These include melting and setting (science), eggs and chickens (science) and the story of Easter and why some people celebrate. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let me know if you have any other Easter bakes. I have another chocolate treat coming up soon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I haven't blogged in a while *hangs head in shame*. So I thought I would share with you a few moments from that past few days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> If you follow me on instagram you may have seen most of these pictures. Over the past few days I've had some lazy pyjama days I have been feeling a little under the weather. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Myself and Anthony have been doing some top secret hopefully soon to be revealed stuff and it has had it's ups and downs. It's been full on which is probably why I have been MIA. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On Valentines day Anthony surprised me with a beautiful bunch of roses and a card. The top right collage is a few photos of myself and Anthony from the past few years. I can't wait for many more to come. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Also once I have lost the baby weight I can finally get my ring resized and share with you how beautiful it is. (I think there's a sneak peek on my engagement post).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Edward has changed so much over the past few days/weeks, he has started to smile and coo. It's so amazing to watch him change, it's hard though to put him back in his moses basket at 2am when he's cooing and smiling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Johnson's baby bedtime bath is a bit of a random photo but I have been loving this stuff and not just for Edward, it's so relxing. I asked my mum to watch Edward the other day so I could go for a long(ish) soak in the bath. This could possibly be making it's way into my February favourites.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The Pret tea is from a caffeine filled day in Leeds, I met up with my friend from Uni whilst Anthony was working in the city. It was an early start setting off at half past 7, not easy with a baby so a lot of coffee and tea was needed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What have you all been up to whilst I have been away? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's a quick impromptu post this evening. Although I am trying to shift the baby weight I couldn't help but have a go at a spot of baking. I had seen the recipe for Cinnamon Twists on a few blogs, I also had a quick look on pinterest as well. I have become slightly obsessed with pinterest my user name is <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/Missbeth90/" target="_blank">Missbeth90</a> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">if you want to follow me (cheeky I know ). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I thought I would do my own quick twist on the recipes that I had seen (see what I did there hehe). To make it quicker I didn't make my own puff pastry I bought some in, didn't think that I would have the time to make it with having a new born. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here's a quick step by step for each recipe.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Preheat the oven at 200 degrees C for both recipes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: center;">The ingredients that I used are:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: center;">Jus-Rol low fat puff pastry </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: center;">Nutella </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: center;">Butter (around 100g)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: center;">Cinnamon (2 tablespoons ish)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: center;">Granulated Sugar (3 tablespoons ish)</span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span></li>
</ul>

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nutella twists: </span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cut off around 1/4 of the pastry which is already rolled</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Spread as much nutella as you want on 1/2 of the pastry leaving the other half plain </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fold pasty over so the nutella is sandwiched </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cut into 1" (ish) thick stripes </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then twist holding both the top and bottom of each strip </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bake in the oven for 10-15 mins or until golden brown </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cinnamon Twists:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Melt the butter either in a pan or a microwavable bowl in the microwave</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Brush the butter (leave a little for the top) over the remaining pastry</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mix sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the butter (again leaving some for the top)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cut pastry into strips and twist. I didn't fold it this time to make them longer. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Brush the tops of the twists with butter and sprinkle the remaining sugar and cinnamon.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until golden brown </span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have had this post half finished since Sunday and have only just found time to finish it off. I have been nominated by Jess over on <a href="http://mumsthenewname.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">mums the new name</a> for the Liebster Award which I have half finished as well so that will be up in the next couple of days. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Getting ready for a day out now takes at least a hour. So I rarely have time to apply a full face of make up. I have managed to whittle my daily make up down to just the essentials which I shove in a make up bag just in case I have to apply on the go.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Left to right: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Soap and Glory you wont believe your eyes has been featured previously here. I definitely need this now to reflect light from the lovely bags under my eyes. I find this really cooling and love the three ball applicator. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rimmel Wake me up foundation again another go to of mine, I always seem to come back to this foundation. It has a good coverage and can be built up on the skin, at the moment I have fairly dry dull skin. So the dewy look of this foundation really helps to brighten my complexion. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As you can see I am desperately in need of a new foundation, I'm scraping the edges of this one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Body Shop all in one BB cream, I've not had this for very long but it's great for days when I can't be bothered to put foundation on and just need a quick fix. I did notice a difference to my skin though it definitely felt more quenched. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Real techniques brushes, I use the contouring brush for my blusher and the expert face brush for blending my foundation. They're the perfect size for this make up bag. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Soap and Glory sexy mother pucker gloss stick in the shade Nudist, I have wanted this for so long and every time I went to my local Boots they were sold out. I finally found one and it was the last one on the shelf, it was fate. I love this it gives such a natural shade and stays glossy for ages. It's so easy to apply as well so good for on the go or a quick slick before rushing out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Collection lasting perfection concealer, not a lot needs to be said about this one it's that well known. But it has to be the BEST concealer I have used. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lancome Hypnose mascara, I used to use this way back when I was a teenager (feeling old sigh) my sister bought me this one for Christmas and I have rekindled my love for it. it just gives the best curl and length. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Vaseline is an essential item at the moment. Ever since I have been in hospital I've had ridiculously dry lips, it could just be the cold weather. This is one of their vintage tins, i love how they have gone back to the older designs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lancome blush, hands up I don't know what shade of blush this is (and it may be my sisters oopsie) but this is my go to blush as it is matte. A lot of the blushers that I own have shimmer in which I do like but for an everyday look I prefer a matte and this one is perfect it gives a light flushed look. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Last but not least is the Ted Baker make up bag/ pencil case. I was looking for a small make up bag as I recently purchased a Ted Baker hand bag that I didn't want to just throw my make up in in case it leaked. I picked this one up in Boots and it is just the perfect size for my bag. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What make up essentials do you have in your make up bag?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Having only been a Mummy for nearly five weeks I am most definitely not an expert I have however learnt a lot! I thought I would just take a few minutes to share 10 useful (hopefully) tips that got me through my pregnancy and the first few weeks of motherhood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">WARNING: this post turned into a big mamma. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>1. Accept help</b> - I am very lucky to have such a supportive family and fiancé who are willing to help me in any way that they can. In the last few months of my pregnancy it became so hard to do so many things like bending down and walking around shops, this wasn't helped by sciatica pain. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I remember getting so frustrated because I couldn't even put on my own shoes or socks, I would try and do this myself but would just end up making things worse. So as hard as it may seem at the time or as frustrating as it can be it is better most of the time to just say yes and accept the help. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>2. Feeding your baby how you feel comfortable </b>- this is a bit of a taboo subject but hey ho. The big breastfeeding debate has been going on for years and everyone has their own opinion on what is best. I felt so pressured by some specialists to breastfeed, I remember coming away from one meeting with a spinning head thinking that formula feeding was not even an option. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I did eventually decide to breastfeed because of my birth circumstances and breast feeding difficulties in hospital I ended up formula feeding whilst we were there. Then once we came home I expressed breast milk and topped up with formula if we needed to. I found that this worked really well for me. I am now feeding fully with formula and things are running smoothly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So in a nutshell; everyone is different, everyone has their own opinion and you need to do what is right for you and your baby. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>3. Have a back up plan</b> - This links to above as I said I had decided to breastfeed but a week before Edward was born I was reading up on techniques etc and I realized that it does not always work for everyone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I decided to buy just one box of formula just in case and thank god I did. So even if you are planning on breastfeeding I would really consider getting a box in even if you don't use it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>4. Clothes rotation</b> - Oh my goodness, I can't believe how quickly you go through vests and baby grows. Edward has already outgrown some of his. At least once a week I have tried to rotate his little outfits so that he wears everything he has, putting the smaller outfits at the top of the piles so that he gets a few more wears out of them before they are boxed away. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>5. Ready Meals </b>- Again I have been lucky as we are living with my family there are more than enough people to cook tea. On the rare occasion that I have been at home alone I have been so grateful for a stock of tinned soup and cuppa soups (e</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ven if they do go cold because I've been distracted). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>6. To Do Lists </b>- Keep them short, sweet and simple. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I like to give myself a short mental list of things to do in a day, usually of about 3 things. Just to keep on top of things, I usually get these done whilst Edward is asleep. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>7. Don't be hard on yourself </b>- This is something that I have to keep reminding myself. I'm new to this, there's no guidebook on how to be a perfect mum, I'm still learning. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So if I don't get all of my list done in that day, I do go for a nap whilst someone watches Edward or I don't manage to get dressed until late afternoon. IT DOESN'T MATTER! IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>8. More than enough </b>- Make sure you have more than enough of the essentials e.g. bottles. I originally had only 6 bottles after washing them and filling up the sterilizer one day it occurred to me that if Edward needed feeding in the time that the machine was on I had no bottles so I bought a couple more just in case. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>9. Pick and Choose </b>- Advice, whilst your pregnant and after <i>everyone </i>has an opinion and advice on what is best for you and your baby. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just like this list, this is just what I have found helpful it is my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> From the advice and opinions that people gave me I picked what I wanted to take on board. It is hard though especially when a stranger is giving you advice and you just want to tell them to go away. I found myself just nodding and agreeing (even if in my head I was waiting for Carl Pilkington to fly in and shout "bulls**t.")</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>10. Take a step back</b> - This is something that I didn't think I would struggle with but I found it so hard, especially when we came home. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I found myself wanting to jump in anytime that Edward was fussing or crying, even when he was with his Daddy. I had to take a step back and remind myself that it is not just me that is learning and that bringing up a baby is a joint effort.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A big virtual high five if you made it to the end of this one, it's a biggy. Let me know what you're top tips would be for a first time mum in the comments. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you all had a fab weekend. On Saturday Anthony, Edward and myself went to Bakewell in Derbyshire for the day.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Derbyshire isn't too far from where we live so we often like to venture out for country walks and a look around the villages. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was pretty cold so it's a good job that we all wrapped up. Edward slept almost all day, he only woke up once for a bottle but we still had a good time. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hadn't been to Bakewell for while (possibly over a year or so) and was so surprised that they had a love lock bridge. I also forgot how busy it gets at a weekend so would suggest if you are going to visit do it on a weekday if you can. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I couldn't help but add this picture in of Ozzy sat at the table watching me take photo's. (I didn't eat all of that chocolate although I may have helped hehe). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This year as our family has extended I have decided that I need to record more of our precious moments together. Over the years I have had loads of digital photos, however as I have had laptop disasters or software failures I have lost a lot of these images. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was going to do just a normal family album or attempt to scrapbook but after watching a few YouTube videos I decided that I would give Project Life a go. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">All of the above were purchased from Hobbycraft online.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To start my project I selected a D ring binder in Jade , project life mini kit - the baby boy edition, the 3x4 Jade edition insert cards and the big variety pack of inserts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This was enough to get me started. The pens that I began to use were the Sharpie fine point markers. After using these on a few pages I was not happy with the result especially when I had used them on the Baby Boy inserts, as the ink had ran through meaning that I could not use the other side to write on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some people may be fine with this as it is possible to put a different card on the other side, trying to be thrifty though I would rather write on both sides so that I can stretch the cards out further. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNxp0DH0jQ0l5dioFg-m2WdWsZINp1EssRz7ACxR1gN9klAq6HApxIIYHjlTcwAFOddcC3uekPrTK2AD69X8g7OZAq0zGv_yw6Um4YHIpD6ikSmKplGywAGDsBh_XKqwMcV1Pd_hDBapNx/s1600/pens.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNxp0DH0jQ0l5dioFg-m2WdWsZINp1EssRz7ACxR1gN9klAq6HApxIIYHjlTcwAFOddcC3uekPrTK2AD69X8g7OZAq0zGv_yw6Um4YHIpD6ikSmKplGywAGDsBh_XKqwMcV1Pd_hDBapNx/s1600/pens.jpg" height="290" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I decided to invest in some different pens from Paperchase, I prefer to write in black rather than blue but these are available in both colours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whilst in there I found the sticker stand and just couldn't resist buying a few packs to jazz up some pages in the future. I was surprised at the price as well, these packs were between £1 and £1.50, I thought that this was really reasonable. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> This is just a sneak peek at one of the pages I have done so far. I have been finding it so enjoyable looking through the photo's of Edwards first few weeks and putting them into the album. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I plan on posting more about Project Life, if there are any questions that you have about it feel free to leave me a question in the comments. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yesterday we had our appointment to register Edward, we had to wait 3 weeks as the register office is so busy at this time of year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We had to be at the appointment for 9am, we had to set off at 8am and only just managed to make it on time! I forgot how crazy the traffic can be in Sheffield on a week day. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This week we had our first walk in the village where we live. We are very lucky to be currently living in an area which is surrounded by countryside, I had been waiting for a day when the weather was not as wet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We all wrapped up warm in our woollies and Edward wore his winter friends Snow Suit in his pram to keep him extra snug. Anthony's parents had taken Ozzy for a walk so we have yet to go on a full family walk but I don't think it will be too long. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I got my selfie stick ready to take with us but then found out I had forgotten it. I think baby brain has continued from pregnancy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's a good job that Anthony is tall enough to get a decent picture of us. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It ended up being a pretty windy walk so I had to wrap my scarf around me more to keep myself warm. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">OOTD: My hat, scarf and coat are recent buys from New Look. Jeans are maternity Joni jeans from Topshop, these are by far the most comfortable maternity jeans that I have. The mittens are what My mum makes and sells they are upcycled from old woollen jumpers and lined with fleece, they are amazingly warm and cosy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was so nice to get out in the fresh air and have a gentle exercise. Edward slept for the whole walk.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year. This years Christmas for me was a little different, if you have been following my blog or instagram you will know that my due date was on the 26th of December. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">From Christmas day until around my Birthday on the 3rd of January all seems to be a bit of a Blur. We welcomed our bundle of joy on the 27th of December after my waters broke at midnight of the 26th. (It just so happens that this is the day that the deep snow decided to fall in Sheffield). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anthony dug the car out of the snow as soon as my waters had gone to prepare for the journey to the hospital. We went in at 4.30am and by 7.16pm on the 27th we had welcomed our little boy, Edward Anthony. I am so pleased that I did not have a birth plan as I think I would have been very disappointed. I may post about my labour at another time.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I can honestly say that I have never been so in love. Our lives have changed completely and we wouldn't change it for the world! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I will hopefully be blogging a lot more this year along with recording our family memories in different ways. Anthony very kindly bought me a new camera for Christmas with some accessories and for my birthday I also got a selfie stick and other accessories from my sister. </span></div>

I will list the recipe that we used and a recipe with measurements in grams as well. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To decorate the cupcakes we cheated and bough Dr. Oetker chocolate icing in a can.(I would highly recommend this if you are not to keen on having to wash a lot of dishes) I did find that the can only decorated around 8 cupcakes though. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For toppings we used Asda's own popping candy and chocolate toppings which included; white chocolate stars, white, dark and milk choc covered cereal, milk choc covered toffee pieces and brownie pieces. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We also had a bag of matchsticks, I found that I ate more of these than I used for decorating haha. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I can't believe that it is December already! Where has the time gone, not only is it nearly Christmas but it's also nearly my due date eeeekkk. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was going to start a YouTube channel but feeling huge, emotional and the fact that at any point I will be having a baby, I decided that maybe it's not the right time. So instead of filming vlogs etc. I opted for trying to blog more through Xmas. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have a list of blog posts that I want to do so hopefully I will be able to upload more, I'm not making any promises though, just in case haha. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So here is the first Blogmas post. Christmas nails. I have searched through my nail varnish collection for the most Christamassy/ Wintery colours that I have. I may have even purchased a couple more.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Before painting my nails I always use collections 2 in 1 Base Coat and Ridge Filler. I find that this gives me an even base to cover over. It also protects my nails from staining if using a darker colour.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I may post some combinations and nail art using the varnishes. Let me know in the comments if you would like to see this post. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Essie shades are; A List (Red) and Set in Stones. These were my cheeky purchases from the weekend when I was supposed to be Christmas shopping ooopsie.

Firstly want to say so sorry for the lack of blogging. It's something that I really enjoy doing and need to get back into again. </div><div><br></div><div>I am now 32 weeks and 2 days, so we have at least 8 weeks until we get to meet our baby boy. I'm so excited, I can honestly say that I am ready to start getting things a bit more organised.</div><div><br></div><div>On the agenda for this week is: packing hospital bags because realistically baby could decide to arrive at anytime now. Attending modwife and antenatal appointments and then some well needed rest. </div><div><br></div><div>I will be uploading a hospital bag post for both me and baby in the next week or so. I have a few of the necessary items that I need and I have to get some more. </div><div>Any suggestions of what I need to take or what you found useful? </div><div><br></div><div>Also through December I am thinking of doing vlogmas / lead up to baby vlogs on YouTube. It is something that I have thought about doing a lot but I'm a bit nervous about getting started. Actually picking up the camera and talking down the lense is a bit daunting. </div><div><br></div><div>Any advice? </div><div><br></div><div>Hope you've all had a fantastic weekend.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope up are all well. It's been such a long time since I last updated, I am now in my final trimester (29 weeks), time seems to have gone so fast. During the second trimester I seemed to have a lot more energy that the first and beginning of my third. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last week me and Anthony went to Cornwall for a week's holiday. I have been going to Cornwall for years with my family and friends. We used to go at least once a year, for the past couple of years I've not been and missed it so much. It's like home from home down there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was so nice to take some time off work and relax, including walking on the beaches, trips to St. Ives, Fish and Chips from Rick Stein's in Falmouth, surfing (for Anthony not me ha) and just generally spending time together. It was bliss. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Driving from place to place we stumbled across a tin mine with amazing views so we stopped for a short walk. </span>(<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Excuse my windswept/make up free/chipped nail varnish selfie). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are ever in Porthtowen you have to have a Moomaid ice cream, there's a small shop near the beach and they sell the most amazing ice cream. The one that I had here was a banoffee sundae. It was AMAZING! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Above are the views from a walk around at St Ives in the morning and Anthony off for his surf at Sennon Cove. He hired a board and wet suit, I didn't let him take his own boards because I wasn't too sure about surfing so soon after his accident, but because the weather was so nice and other people were surfing as well. I sat on the beach read some of my book and had a hot choc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We've been back in Sheffield now for a week and Autumn has made it's appearance. I'm not complaining I love Autumn it's my favourite season of the year. There's something about dark nights with pj's, films and hot choc that I just love. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you are all enjoying your weekend and bank holiday weekend (if you're lucky enough to have one). I have had a busy few weeks, moving from our house and back in with my parents for a while. Long story short the house was bad we hated and needed a nicer space and my lovely parents have made us a bedsit in their house. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So we have been moving between houses as well as myself working 8 - 9 hour shifts, busy, busy times. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the middle of all this Anthony decided to whisk me away for a romantic weekend to Harrogate and York. It was so refreshing to just have some relaxing time together. Mum and Dad kindly agreed to look after little Ozzy. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Our first stop was Harrogate. I myself had never been before so it was nice to experience somewhere new. it took a while to get there as the traffic on the way was really bad, a quick change of route and we were soon there. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Harrogate is such a lovely place and we spent all day wandering the centre looking in independent shops and high street shops. I realised half way around that I had forgotton to pack any Pjs for myself, so we popped into Primark and picked up some dispicable me pyjamas. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After lunch and a long stroll around we decided to have a rest in a little coffee shop called the <a href="http://www.beanandbud.co.uk/" target="_blank">Bean and Bud</a>, we were drawn in by all the artwork on the wall by Sheffield Artist Pete McKee. I love his prints and had to have a peek at the ones on the walls. The coffee they served was amazing and the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We then popped across the road to Mellow Melts, such a cute little shop selling all things delicious smelling from candles to bath bombs. Anthony treated me (us) to three bath bombs, they both look and smell amazing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anthony then turned to me and explained that he had bought me here for a reason. I had no idea what was going on. The next thing I knew he was down on one knee and asking for my hand in marriage. EEEEPPP! I was so shocked I even asked at one point if he was being serious haha. It turns out that he had been planning it and had the ring for a while. He of course asked my Dad first. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Obviously I said YES! I was then surprised further when a lady appeared from over the hill saying what a lovely moment it was and that her husband had a camera if we would like a picture. Her husband then came around with a huge camera and took a lovely picture which he emailed to us the next day. So a big thank you to the lovely couple. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After spending the night in a hotel we then headed for York early Sunday morning and had a quick walk around whilst it was still quiet. It was lovely that it wasn't to busy and that a lot of the shops were not yet open. It meant that we could have a walk around and just take in the lovely City. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just a quick update today. On Thursday we went for our 20 weeks scan, Anthony and I had both decided that we would like to find out the gender of our baby. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The 20 weeks scan is so detailed, the sonogropher spent ages looking at all sorts. He did say that we had a very active baby. I had to get up and wiggle a bit (pretty embarrassing wiggling my hips around) to get the baby to move so that we could see the heart better. After a thorough inspection we were told that everything is fine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nothing had been mentioned about the gender so I plucked up the courage to ask. The Sonographer had a good look and revealed we are having a .....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We are both so excited, I had a feeling from the beginning that we were. We didn't have a preference however now we know it all seems a bit more real. I have definitely bought more things since finding out. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you are all well. It's been a busy few weeks for me and Anthony, if you follow me on instagram you will know that I was a bridesmaid at Anthony's brothers wedding. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have also been back at work whilst Anthony is still off recovering. Although the reason that he is not at work is not nice I am enjoying having him around more, we have been able to visit a few places together when I have a day off. Separate post coming up about that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recently I have been trying to look after my skin. my everyday routine usually consists of the Garnier Micellar cleansing water and Lancome Hydra Zen Moisturizer. This evening as I had a bit more time to relax I decided to pamper my skin with a combination of my favourites at the moment. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first step of my routine was to take off any make up using the Garnier Micellar Water, I love this as it removes make up so easily and you hardy need any on the cotton pad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have been using these larger ones from the baby section in boots as I find that I can use just one to remove my make up .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The Fab Pore mask has been one of my go to masks for a while (I think I have mentioned it in a previous blog post). This was a fresh new pot ooo a part of me did not want to ruin the newness haha.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I took a big blob of this on my fingers and massaged onto my face, this mask has small beads in "Rice Microbeads" that exfoliate the skin and leave it feeling really smooth and soft so make sure that you massage these in really well for the full effect. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Another ingredient in the mask prevents spots and clears pores, I fell that my skin really needs this at them moment as I have a few hormonal breakouts. The mask also smells really refreshing with a minty fragrance. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anthony came upstairs to see what I was doing, safe to say he was a little surprised when I turned around looking like this!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I left the mask on for 15 minutes, I had to set a timer because otherwise I would have forgotten what time I put it on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After the 15 minutes I removed with a cotton pad and warm water. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is a sample size that I got from the counter when I bought my foundation and blusher. I think once I have used this up I will be purchasing a pot. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The cream smells lovely, I find it very relaxing to use on my skin at night time. The scents which are used are anti-stress and calming. There is more information about this <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Lancome-Hydra-Zen-Neurocalm-Moisturiser-Normal-Skin-50ml-For-All-Skin-Types-Even-Sensitive_36370/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

This eye cream has a roller ball applicator and is so soothing on tired eyes. I use it in the day as well as it has light reflecting particles to lighten my tired mummy to be eye bags, </span><br />

Obviously I don't use this on my face but it just finishes the skin care well. I'm not 100% sure that any stretch mark cream or oil works but it's worth a try I suppose. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I find this cooling especially with the hot nights we have been having in Britain recently. </span><br />

<div>
I had planned to do an update last week but unfortunately was too busy. </div>
<div>
I am now 17 weeks pregnant so have finished the first trimester. During the first trimester I read a few blogs and watched YouTube videos. I found that these helped me to understand what I could expect and what I was experiencing. </div>
<div>
For the first few weeks up to around 6 weeks I was unaware that I was pregnant. </div>
<div>
I didn't really notice any changes until I was around 6 or 7 weeks.<br>
<br></div>
<div>
The main symptom that I had during my first trimester was sickness and nausea. I know that it's different for everyone, some people don't experience sickness or nausea at all (lucky lucky people). </div>
<div>
My sickness mostly happened as I got out of bed first thing in the morning. I found that I couldn't even keep down a cup off tea. I went totally off tea and coffee altogether :(. </div>
<div>
After some research and family advice I tried eating ginger biscuits. These were really helpful and took away the nausea. However I still didn't have much of an appetite. Another favourite of mine whilst going through sickness was cream crackers. I found that because they are bland I could keep them down (urgh so gross). </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I have a few things that I would recommend for the first trimester. These are the items that really helped me and hopefully could help you. </div>
<div>

1. Pregnancy the beginner's guide by DK. This book was and is really helpful, it breaks each month down and has handy tips and facts about what is happening to your body. It also has a Dad's survival guide page for each month explaining how they can help and what their partner may be going through. Very helpful. This was £12.99 from waterstones. </div>

2. Ginger nuts/ Gin Gins. How funny is the little ginger man on the box. Ginger nuts, ginger biscuits can be found in any supermarket. The gin gins were from Anthony's mum she got these from Holland and Barratts I'm not too sure of the price but I think they will be on the website. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
3. Cream crackers. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
4. Cordial/dilute/squash. People have different names for this but basically because I had been put off tea and coffee I started to drink a lot of robin sons to make sure that I was taking in fluids as this is very important. </div>

Essential vitamins folic acid and vitamin D I started to take these before visiting my midwife, as my mum told me how important they were. These are around £3 from boots however once you have been to the midwife and sent off a form you can get them free on prescription. I still need to send my form ooops. </div>

6. Bubble bath. With my job I work shifts so sometimes don't get home until around 9pm. Having a nice relaxing bubble bath helped me to unwind. Make sure that you find a scent that you like though because you're senses will be stronger. I found I couldn't wear perfume in the first trimester as it set off my sickness. So find a scent that you like and can handle. </div>
<div>
At 12 weeks we went for our first scan. It was such a mixed feeling the night before I was scared that there wouldn't be anything there. I know it sounds silly but yeah. Anyway there was and we could see it's little heart beat sooo cute. We didn't manage to find out if we were having a boy or a girl but we will be on my next scan in a few weeks. So exciting. </div>
<div>
So apart from sickness, tiredness and a lack of energy there isn't really much more that I can say about the first trimester. </div>
<div>
As I said I am now into my 17th week the sickness, nausea and lack of appetite have began to disappear. I still have a few mornings when I'm sick but no where near as many as before ( every morning) and as for loss of appetite that has gone. I have found myself wanting to eat a lot more. I have also been eating extra fruit and veg for vitamins etc. </div><div>I will do more of an update on my 2nd trimester nearer the end as a summary but I'm also hoping to do weekly updates between then. </div>
<div>
Maybe even a mini haul when I have a few more things :). </div>
<div>
I hope you have found this helpful if you are in your first trimester<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">. I will be happy to answer any comments/questions :). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Happy Sunday. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Thanks </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know I've been pretty quiet on the blog front recently, hopefully this post will explain why. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It has been a very busy few months for me and my boyfriend Anthony. In October we decided to move in together after 7 years we thought it was about time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We moved in together, at this time I started working as a teacher after studying Early Years with Qualified Teacher status at university. I thought this would be my dream job and I would be doing this forever. I was wrong, after three months of trying my hardest but slowly being ground down and ending up feeling not too good I made the hard decision to leave my job. This was a very hard decision as Anthony was still working hard at uni studying Energy Engineering for Sustainability. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Over the Christmas holiday's I spent everyday filling in application forms and sending CV's, I was offered a job in a call center and took it as I needed to pay bills etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So that was the beginning of the year and now 6 months later Anthony has finished his degree and fingers crossed has passed with a 1st!! Not only this but he has accepted a job as a Trainee Manager in Energy and Controls. I'm so proud and excited for him as he has worked so hard. I am still working in the call center but feel so much more relaxed and better than I did before Christmas. I probably will go into teaching in the future again but for now that's all on hold because . . . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We are expecting a baby!!!! We are so excited I have been keeping this a secret for so long now and thought it was about time that I shared this news. We had our first scan 2 weeks ago where we were told that the baby was 12 weeks and 3 days old. The scan was amazing to see the little heart beat, it made it all so real. I had already told my family and Anthony had told his, everyone has been so supportive and excited. </span><br />
