This is the first "baby and body update" I've done since my pregnancy announcement, and I'm trying to remember all of the things I wanted to say but couldn't. Like, on Angelica's One Year Update: Oh my God you won't BELIEVE this but I'm pregnant again! Or on the 14...
The Early Pregnancy Diaries: 10 Weeks
I'm feeling a bit better this week in that I'm not so nauseous, but I've still had two naps today so perhaps I shouldn't count my chickens, etc! My stomach is HUGE but I'm convinced that it's just a big layer of fat with some bloating underneath it. The main thing is...
The Early Pregnancy Diaries: 9 Weeks
I had an early scan. I'm feeling more confident about things now - I felt I just had to be quite brave and get it over with, it felt like a massive waste of time and energy just sitting around worrying all the time and not knowing what was going on. Watch the 9 Week...
Softest Bras: The Freya Fancies Bralette
Eternally on the hunt for the softest, most unstructured bras I can find, I was overjoyed when this one from Freya came through my postbox for me to try. It's the new(ish) Bralette from the Freya Fancies range and it makes a pretty and delicate change from the usual...
The Early Pregnancy Diaries: 8 Weeks
Yesterday and the day before, I felt so wiped out that I thought I had flu. I didn't even really have sickness all the time, just all of the other illness symptoms - to the point where I was convinced I actually was ill! I'm still checking the loo roll for blood every...
The Early Pregnancy Diaries: 7 Weeks
*note: at time of publishing I am actually 22 weeks along with this pregnancy. I recorded my early pregnancy diaries with the intention of writing them up later, so forgive the delay. "The sickness has been very bad, though I'm never sick. I have been so, so tired -...
The Early Pregnancy Diaries: 5 Weeks
I completely missed out the early weeks when I was writing about my first pregnancy and realised, in hindsight, that really they were the most important. I think that once you get past the first trimester, you settle into your pregnancy a bit (though I still worry a...
Top Three Comfiest Trousers for Pregnancy and Beyond…
Today I bring you the world's three most comfy pairs of trousers and also the offer of free chocolate*. The two things sort of go hand in hand, I feel - it's partly because of chocolate that I even need to have comfy trousers! Keep reading for the choc part... I have...
Sexy Stair Gate. (I Need To Get Out More.)
For those who can't abide a glaring big white metal stair gate in their home (perhaps you're a mid century modern enthusiast like myself, or just prefer warmer hues and dark woods in your interiors), I have the answer: the BabyDan Avantgarde in Cherry Wood and Black....
Two New Things
I warned you that it was all go until Christmas: two new things for you to get excited about. If you like babies. If you don't like babies and would rather prong your eyeballs out with a fork than look at pictures of them, videos of them or read any kind of chat about...
A Little Announcement…
I think that many of you might have guessed at this news already; trying to keep something like this a secret when you write about yourself on a regular basis (and appear in videos, in other people's videos and on Instagram!) is nearly impossible. Let's not beat...
Baby and Body: 15 Months Update
Every time I log in to write one of these updates I think to myself please let me have uploaded something since the LAST update post! Time just goes so fast. All my working hours seem to get sucked into A Model Recommends. But change is afoot, dear readers, for I am...
