A Bump in the Road

Hello 24 Weeks! Now officially 6months sober, have exactly two pairs of pants that fit and have to avoid laughing too hard incase a little pee comes out (really wish that last one was a joke 🙈). #ohthejoys #24weekspregnant

Well it’s taken a while but I’m learning everything when you’re pregnant takes longer than normal (You should see me try to put my shoes on!). I’ve recapped in my first trimester, from one novice mother-to-be 👉🏻 On the blog now, link in bio.

We were seeing each other for 6 months before we made it “official”, together 5 years before we got married and married 9 years before our deciding to have our first child... do you think we rushed things @john__ill? 😆
Celebrating our 9th year of marriage and 14 years of savouring every moment with you. Next year we become three! #happyanniversary

Pregnant Perk #1 (there’s only like 5 🙈)... No need to suck your tummy in when you’re poolside (or any other time) 😆
PS: how incredible is it that I get to share this experience with my sister @allinwonderland87. Our due dates are exactly two month apart.

Werk perks... don’t worry, I only consumed the gnocchi 🤤☺️ Who better than a Preggo with a big appetite to sample the menu, what’s next Chef? 😝 @thestablesbar

Am I done yet? 🤦🏼‍♀️
Feeling pretty frustrated with my body this week. For my first 20 weeks I was able to maintain a pretty normal and active lifestyle and I was pretty determined to continue exercising til popping time. I was even able to continue doing my regular F45 workouts with a few small changes to jumping and ab exercises. After severe round ligament pain landed me 3 days in hospital last week though, my body has had other plans. I’ve tried to keep active with walking but that has resulted in extra pressure and pain on my poor pelvis. The dreaded fluid retention has also reared its head (and started filling my legs) causing stiffness in my calves.... I now have spongey tree trunks for legs (@John__ill affectionately tells me it’s just creating a more sturdy platform for our little man to sit on... you’re cute but I’ll kill you 😒😆 jk, he’s actually incredibly supportive)
Lately this is where you’ll find me... half naked, because my clothes are all uncomfortable and propped up with pillows (thank god for my @dentonspillows pregnancy pillow or I’d never sleep 🙏🏻). Let’s be honest... pregnancy sux #22weekspregnant

This weeks homework... breastfeeding!
Thankfully I don’t have to worry about the final exam for a few more months but I have a feeling these ice packs from @ice_ice_booby (could that name be any cuter 😆) are gonna come in handy.
My mum swears by the cabbage leaf trick but Mummas, what are your breastfeeding tricks? Was there something you wish you’d know when you started?

Lola is about to learn what happens when you try to steal food (or drink) from a pregnant lady 😝 #21weekspregnant #lolatheaussiebulldog

Sunday kicking back with a beer (non-alcoholic of course) and learning #whattoexpectwhenyoureexpecting while hubby mows the lawn and washes the dogs. Pregnancy has certainly been good for getting out of chores 😝 Thanks @john__ill for being the best husband ever (he never complains) 🥰😘

No chance of me drowning in the pool this year... I brought my own built in floatation device. Wishing everyone the happiest of Australia Days from me and the bump 🇦🇺 #20weekspregnant #lilaussie

Getting my obsession with summer whites out of my system now before my little man arrives in June. I’m guessing nothing is going to stay very white after that 😆
Thanks to all the mums who offered their advice on the best clothes to buy during pregnancy. Your tips were very helpful and I love hearing from you.

Can’t wait to get these new summer colours from @lovemissfrankie on my nails this week. Since falling pregnant and having the well-being of my little man to consider (and not just myself) I’ve become a lot more aware of the things I’m putting in and on my body. @lovemissfrankie’s polishes are breathable, vegan, cruelty free and contain no toxic ingredients like formaldehyde and camphor which can trigger, nausea, headaches and allergic reactions. All the things I definitely don’t need (more of) while pregnant.
