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 wondering about this week is whether baby belle will look more like marbelle or me. the general consensus is that caleb looks more like his dad and gallo like me, so it’s going to be really interesting how this version of us turns out! i’m also still really hoping for a ginger afro - caleb has hints of red in his hair so perhaps this time? i wonder if he will look like the boys when they were babies - in some photos they look so similar that i can only tell who’s who by what they’re wearing, and there are a couple where i honestly can’t tell if it’s caleb or gallo.
so excited!

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 couple of weeks ago, but have had to s-l-o-w things right down now. i feel ok as soon as i wake up but by the time the school run is done i’m walking like i’m 80. i probably felt this way when i was 2 weeks away from giving birth to caleb and gallo. seriously. i hurt and it is not good.
one thing that i have been looking forward to (and i am at last having stirrings of) is nesting. i’m in the process of decorating the bathroom (albeit slowly), before going on to giving the boys room and ours a fresh lick of paint. the living room is going to be done in time for our first brighton christmas (tres exciting), and the kitchen and hallway will be done when i’m on leave and can spend hours on end sanding.
i’ve also been making lists of things that baby belle will need and buying bits here and there - my best bargain so far being the concord bouncer. i had spied one in the baby shop opposite ours and fallen in love…so stylish and comfy, but £90. steep for a bouncer.
guess how much i got one in amazing condition off ebay for? 10 whole pounds. brilliant. marv went to collect it for me and had a horrendous trip home from london but i was so grateful and it is so worth it - baby belle’s going to love it. caleb and gallo have been trying it out for him already. i’ve also won a sterilizer for 99p and close baby carrier for £20. ebay rocks.
that’s about it really. my old pregnancy cravings are back - i love crunching ice with a passion and sucking water out of sponges. it’s good to be able to do water again after it making me feel ill for such a long time.
until next week x
