Pregnancy and Life Update...

Howdy!

I thought I would do a mini update with what has happened since my last post and where we are up to with everything.

First of all, I am very excitedly 38 weeks pregnant this week and I am huuuuggee! I was sure that my bump is much bigger with this pregnancy than DS's but comparing these two pics at exactly 37 weeks with pregnancy with DS on the left and current pregnancy on the right, I think I was bigger the first time round.
So I am now full term which means that baby can make his/her arrival into the world anytime now :)

Christmas events are now well underway. We have been to a few children's Christmas parties with DS and last weekend, we went on a Santa steam train in Llangollen complete with dancing and singing elves up and down the carriages and of course a visit from Father Christmas with a present.
It was a great afternoon and we all enjoyed it :)

Christmas is all sorted as I have made a conscious effort to be extra organised this year with not knowing when baby is going to make their entrance :) so Christmas cake is made, presents all wrapped and Christmas Eve boxes packed and wrapped!

I have been enjoying a vegan friendly homemade Cacao hot chocolate in the evening - I think I may be a little bit addicted to it as it's soooo yummy!


I'm running out of room in the car so hoping that baby doesn't keep us waiting too long :D
This week is DS's last week in school and possibly my last week as a Mum of 1! So after a very busy year, I have planned some nice treats for myself before I embark on those sleepless nights.

I have booked a pregnancy pamper spa day with 'Yummy Mummy' treatments and massages and a healthy lunch - I can't wait!

I have also booked a hair appointment as well as a manicure and pedicure this week :)
I am looking forward to slowing down a bit and relaxing before baby arrives.
Also it will be good to show my body and skin some love after the amazing things it has done this year with growing a healthy baby - it will be like a little thank you :)

I'll always be amazed at just how super dupa women's bodies are!

I also had a maternity photoshoot a few weeks ago and am really pleased with the pictures.
I wanted some nice shots of my baby bump to look back on in years to come and I certainly got them :)
