emin belle
he arrived! cute eh? he ended up being 2 days late and was born on saturday 4 february at 20:02. i started having contractions at 18.00 and phoned the hospital an hour later to let them know. marv had gone to work and so i called him to come back home. half an hour later i phoned again to tell them i was pushing. they sent an ambulance (blue flashing lights being quicker than a midwife), and 2...

LOVE this dress…
…and this one too.
by the time i look decent enough in one (deadline june, my postponed birthday celebration), hopefully one will be sold out so i won’t have to spend an extortionate amount of money on both, hee

baby belle - 38 weeks
do i look ready to pop? i feel it. i went to town yesterday and picked up the last few baby bits that i need - changing mat, top and tail bowl, feeding cushion, sheets for the crib, muslins and the first thing that he’ll wear…
…how cute is that?! at least marv will be able to pretend that he’s a girl for a little bit, it looks like a massive dress but there’s a...

here you are then, you’re looking at someone who has just finished work and is extremely happy about it! i only work part time but it’s going to be so nice going home after the school run wednesday to friday and pottering about. i’ve been exhausted by the time i’ve got to work and really uncomfortable sitting at my desk, struggling to get up to go to the loo/get...

baby belle - 36 weeks
where has the time gone? i knew it would go fast after christmas but now i only have 3 days of work left before i go on leave and baby belle, in theory, could make an appearance any time after the end of this week.
my main concern is to get things ready around the house. the front room is decorated now and is the room that i plan to give birth in, although i also need to get the bathroom...

gallo now thinks that his baby bro is going to arrive in a star shaped space ball swaddled in blue and red #disappointed
i’ve said it once and i’ll say it again. i LOVE donald glover. seriously
my lovely ma and i have just spent 3 hours stripping woodchip and i’ve found most of down my bra
at home with a poorly boy. not feeling so good myself and have a ton of stuff to do before the arrival of many watfords tomorrow
yay, the ceiling which was re-plastered about 2 years ago is now whiter than white. this makes me happy. well done @marbelle

baby belle - 31 weeks
playing around with the camera zoom fx app. i like it. there’s nothing really to report this week. apart from last night when i got a weird cleaning thing on, i have mostly been lazy - thinking about all the things that i need to do but not actually getting around to doing any of them. i’m feeling ok but hoping for some inspiration and energy this week please. i have kind of bored...
i’ve just cleaned the toilet. at half past midnight. ridiculous

Not the easiest thing to write, but important …
AWAKE. @MarBelle’s fault for setting off smoke alarm about 2 hrs ago and snoring like a demon when he decides to come upstairs. not happy

baby belle - 30 weeks
there’s only 10 more weeks (in theory) until i get to meet the little guy in there!
i may be moving slowly but time is going so quickly. right now the focus is on christmas and doing bits around the house in prep, but as soon as the new year kicks in it’s going to be all about getting everything ready for the birth and arrival of this little one.
the thing i’m mostly...
this morning we hide a drum kit up in the loft ready for christmas and collect the new dinner table and chairs

today i have work, midwife, a little bit more work & then off to @DukeofYorks to see kevin, finally!
some park action before i tackle the bathroom ceiling

baby belle - 28 weeks
god, it’s been so long since i blogged about baby belle. we went away and i enjoyed wearing bikinis, not worrying about looking fat and getting the bump out in the sunshine. we came back and then it was half term and time just seems to have flown by since then.
i’m in the last trimester now - 12 more weeks to go until we meet our baby boy. i was feeling fine, tired but fine, until a...

epic lie in, cup of yorkshire in bed - now to fetch chicken for a roast and the papers. happy sunday everyone x
just upgraded my phone. no more iphone on @marbelle’s advice, scared - eek!!!
still ill but must do yoga this morn. not before dressing up the boys for a spot of halloween fun & ghostbusters @dukeofyorks however
still ill. bored of this now
i’m proper nesting. all baby clothes/toys/equipment are down from the loft & being washed…next on the agenda is painting & decorating
after a really productive yesterday i just can’t be arsed to do anything today
just about doable house lust: http://t.co/uOzBqwAX
the boys have given me their illness. only just crawled out of bed, no yoga for me this morning :-(
going back 2 wrk 2day has proved that baby belle has picked an ace time to make an appearance & i need to change career whilst there’s time!
just dismissed a film as overdoing the grit & violence. it’s a true story. australia is full of torturing psychopaths #justwatchedsnowtown
have been in a mood about going back to work 2moro but have just worked out that i only have 11 weeks of actually going to work left. result
