Feel like a bit of a walking cliche, but got myself some maternity dungas! Next thing you know I’ll posing on a step ladder while painting the nursery 😂 In all seriousness though, I LOVE them, and they were just the ticket for a morning at soft play! Now on the lookout for some black ones…
DOUBLE JABBED! And feeling good, other than a sore arm, of course! Just another one of those little things that helps to ease my anxiety about the babies. Not that I’ll be throwing caution to the wind or anything, I’m not ready for huge gatherings just yet! But it definitely helps to put my mind at rest a little. And every little helps! Now, I need to go and wrangle a toddler into a car seat as we’re off to soft play! Hope you have fun plans whatever you’re up to!
Bit of an emosh day. Lack of sleep is like a special kind of torture. I was already feeling fragile after this mornings post, then I arrived for my second jab and realised the queue went all the way around the car park and knowing I was going to have to stand in the blazing sun for a long while nearly brought on the tears again, but thankfully it wasn’t too bad and the main thing is, I’m finally double jabbed! Though that isn’t helping the general aches and pains and lethargy! I did save another pair of shoes though, so there’s that…! 127/183 saved now!
Had a little cry today. I didn’t feel up to Bailey’s swimming class after a bad nights sleep and lots of aches and pains. It’s his last one before the summer holidays and I’m almost certain I’ll be too big come September, if the twins haven’t already made their arrival, so I’m feeling the guilts pretty bad. Watching him now in the pool with his dad is breaking my heart a tiny bit, even though he’s smiling and happy and I know he doesn’t know any different. I know we will have plenty more special times together, but it’s just reminding me that our cosy little threesome doesn’t have much time left. I know the first couple of months with the twins are going to be intense and the likelihood of me having to be in hospital, away from him, is high and I’m dreading it. I know we’ll be fine. Just sometimes I wish I could freeze time just a little and soak up a bit more of my first baby ❤️
I got too embarrassed to swish my frock outside my parents house this morning so you’re getting a hair swish instead! It is a lovely swishy frock though and did a great job of keeping me (mostly) cool today! Today’s outfit also features some naughty new shoes, which obviously takes my total to save up by one, but since I’ve worn them already I’m not feeling too bad - I can see these becoming a real staple for the summer months! 126/183 down!
Totally influenced by #fridayfeet - I saw @perlacocodesigns in lovely nude studded sandals by Linzi Shoes and fell in love. Got straight onto Vinted, found myself a similar pair and one week later here we are! Might have started a new studded shoe obsession though, feel like I need some block heels now too 🙈
