35 Weeks Pregnant ...

So, i am now 35 weeks pregnant and i can safely say i am getting to the point of having enough!

I feel huge and gaining what feels like a stone a week at the moment, granted your meant to gain about a pound a week but this week already im 3lb up and i have no idea why! ive not over eaten or indulged... i actually did have a domnios last night because i just felt like giving up. whats the point of trying to loose weight when your pregnant when your going to keep gaining.

I have also got an incredibly sore side which hurts after a general day of living life so when it comes to the evening i am in pain because no stretches will reach it.

I shouldnt complain about being pregnant but i am just feeling so big and unattractive and like ive let myself go. the scales dont know your pregnant so when your weighting 13 and a half stone its enough to make you want to cry when youve never weighed that much before and you try so hard to keep it off and is now feeling like your going to be frumpy forever and you have a wedding dress to loose weight for...

also my job is getting my down.. i dont know what to do about that!!

And my laptop is running so slowly i have had enough and want to throw it out the window but i cant because i cant afford a new one...


anyone else get so frustrated with life that it all feels too much.

I dont mean to rant.

we actually picked up babies cot yesterday ... i say we, my other half did along with my dad because i am a bit useless!
so thats now up in the bedroom just needing to be all kitted out and for my little man to arrive.

can i just say i cant wait for him to be here... im not frustrated with him... its just my body and the way i see myself!

i have even started a proper skin care routine which i never bothered with before to see if that helps and it hasnt.

Sorry.... but this is life.

Boots - My Baby Bundle




So a month or so ago Boots had a baby event which included spending £20 and getting a free 'Baby Bundle' which i only opened the other night (excuse the poor quality photos) and i couldnt believe how much was included!! 

First item is one i could try out straight away and that was the Boots Botanics Refreshing Eye Bright Roll-On for MUMS! 
This type of product is something i have always used on and off and never really stuck with it but already from using this for about a week i see real results.
Using it once in the morning and again at night has completed my morning and night routines and my eyes dont feel as tired as they normally do and when your pregnant thats ALOT of the time. 
To buy on its own wold cost you £8.75 so to get this as a free gift is just brilliant.

Also for Mums you get the Sanctuary Spa mini body wash and a salt scrub which i will be using after baby comes to really pamper myself!


The other items i will be trying out when Baby arrives but you get 
  1. Pampers baby wipes
  2. Boots own baby wipes
  3. Boots own nappies x3 
  4. Boots own cotton pads
  5. Boots own baby bubble and bath wash
  6. Boots own Baby teethers
To be honest i thought this was incredible and i will be taking the smaller sample packs to hospital with me!



Thanks for reading!

Braxton Hicks? ; Diary #11

'When you have a contraction, your womb (uterus) tightens and then relaxes, like a stronger version of period pains. You may have had contractions throughout your pregnancy, particularly towards the end. During pregnancy, these painless tightenings are called Braxton Hicks contractions.' 

Ive not been very active recently on my blog... sorry! but not alot has gone on if i am honest with you, until today!
I think i am getting braxton hicks! ive been getting tummy tightness and it feels really uncomfortable but not painful! i havent googled the symptoms of it aside from putting in what is on the top of the blog entry! Could these be braxton hicks! How exciting!

Exciting? Really? Why?
Well thats because it means my body is getting itself ready to have the baby! YAY! I cannot wait!

Luckily i am going into the final few days of work before my maternity leave starts so i can start relaxing a bit and not having to worry about going into work (always a nice thought)

Anyway I do have a few exciting posts i want to write over the next few weeks before baby comes so keep coming back!

Thanks

Diary; Paranoia & Pregnancy #10

Do you ever get that feeling that everyone's just that much closer and you can't breathe and you want to close your eyes and hide from the world? Me too!

The past two weeks have been an absolute rollercoaster for me mainly because I have had a huge growth spurt when it comes to the baby area so I think my emotions are going up and down causing me too have what I call panic attacks, something that I am used to from having anxiety at such a young age.
It also doesn't help that I am now 33 weeks pregnant and the thought of B-Day is getting that much closer and I don't feel prepared at all.... going on maternity leave and then having those financial worries which is human but you cant help but think your the only one going through it.

Another worry that comes to mind is babies arrival... am i going to be a good mum? Do i have everything i need? will my baby even like me because the kid i saw earlier jut gave me evils... I don't know if thats just me but i get so worried that I'm not going to be  good mum.

My latest thing is being paranoid when i go out and about, i hate it! i mean really hate going out when i am alone because i worry someone is going to ram there trolly into me or some teenager is going to run into me because they don't care!

I can honestly say the next 7 weeks cannot come quick enough! I want my little man here now!
