30/31 Week Pregnancy Update ¦ Baby Number 2 ¦ MOMMY MONDAY

Well guys here's another update for you!! Where do the weeks keep doing? I can't believe we are already half way through the month of August!?

Quick update on the moving situations and going under a new midwife. The good news is that I will be having the same midwife as I had when pregnant with my first son Tyler, so I am over the moon with that news. Second news is that I will be having a booking / my 33 week check up this coming Friday. So I will hopefully have a pregnancy Vlog update for you again sooner than normal so I can keep you all up to date with what is going on! As I won't want to forget anything that I am told, although It may have to be a brief video due to that Friday also be moving day!! Aghh crazy!

So on with other updates for you!

Babies movements: Considering by now this little Mr should be running out of space in their, he seems more active than ever! He is mainly active in the afternoon around lunch time and then again from around 8 o clock going on to 10-11 o clock in the evenings. He just wriggles, kicks, moves, punches everywhere!! Feeling like he's doing somersaults, quite literally.

Wedding/Engagement rings: Still back on. I don't really wear it at all in the night any more due to slight swelling if I get a bit too warm. But other than that with this wonderful ... yes you heard me wonderful, delightful cooler autumn weather starting to take over the last of the summer I have had less episodes of swelling fingers, ankles and the rest!!

NEW Braxton Hicks: Since filming I have noticed that I am getting quite a few Braxton Hicks - Also known as practice contractions. Your bodies way of preparing you for the labour. They are not uncomfortable or painful. They are quite "intense" for practices, which I will be mentioning to my midwife, as with Tyler I'm sure they weren't quite as strong as they can be at the moment.

That's that then I guess, as I mentioned at the beginning I will be having a midwife appointment this coming Friday so I will be sure to try give you another update next week, providing I get the chance to film due to moving that Friday as well! Enjoy my Pregnancy Vlog.

28 - 30 Week Pregnancy Update ¦Baby Number 2¦

Hey everyone welcome back!! Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for the new week that's already begun!! I can't believe I'm now 31 weeks -- always a week behind with blog/vlog updates. -- This pregnancy just seems to be flying by! 9 weeks till we meet our second precious little boy!

In this weeks vlog I talk a lot about my recent appointments, as I have had to have routine bloods done and I also had to have the GTT which stands for Glucose Tolerance Test done. This is a test carried out to check for diabetes in pregnancy. Some of you will be wondering why on earth is she getting checked? As most people associate diabetes with obesity - Where I find that completely not to be true and quite a horrible assumption that people make. I however have to have the test due to family history. 

Babies Movements: Lots! My partner even felt his foot for the first time as the baby kicked into my ribs! He also pushes his feet against my left side, when doing it he pushes himself which makes his back and bum stick out!! As if he's stretching his legs, it's quite strange when he does it! 

Wedding/Engagement Ring: Back on!! Thank goodness. Due to all the hot weather I had resorted to not wearing my engagement ring. Then came the wonderful cooler weather! 

I think this is all I have to update you on really, my next maternity appointment is at the 34 week point, but I hope to give you guys another update before that. Although due to us moving again I could end up with a appointment even sooner, in case they need to check everything and book me in properly?! I'm not 100% sure. 

How is your pregnancy going? Comment below :) 

  

Sweets & Treats ¦ Quick & Easy ¦ Toddler/Kid Snacks

Hey everyone! Hope your all enjoying the sunshine -- for me the heat is a bit too much but the sunshine is certainly doing my laundry basket the world of good! Tell me I'm not alone here mama's and papa's?

So we had a little experiment a few weekends ago now and made a nice yummy treat for Tyler rather than being out in the sun we opted for mess in the kitchen!

So we had ago at making these amazing little treats that took 10 minutes, and a little ... whole lot of mess! But hey whats the fun in not making a mess in the kitchen with your toddler?

All you need to create these fun bite size snacks, is some melting chocolate, decorations of your choice. We chose to use some dinosaur ones we found in Morrisons - Tyler loves dinosaurs and then just a packet of marshmellows and some cocktail sticks. We used an apple to pop them into however it wasn't the most stable thing to use! So I guess theirs were more creative thinking comes into play!

Simply melt the chocolate, dip your marshmellow into the melted chocolate and then let your toddler go wild with the sprinkles!! And of course be prepared for lots to be eaten in the process! 

I hope you enjoyed this blog post everyone, something I hope to do a bit more of on this blog along with other cooking videos or blog posts in the future! :) Comment below with any ideas!
