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
