photos as promised for mum

Rosie and I went to play at ant's house today. Gareth was out so we struggled to get a photo of our bumps together. This one was taken in the mirror and came out all fuzzy... will try harder next time mum!

Rosie is a bit off colour today, she is fighting a cold I think, runny eyes and bit of a cough. She enjoyed snuggling on ant and having her back scratched.

Rosie using my bump as an arm rest, I think she quite likes it!
do you like her gorgeous new skirt I got from the NCT sale yesterday for £1? I love it!



And here you go Tony - see the 'I am being photographed' smile has not disappeared yet!
I am so gutted it is Sunday. We've had yet another wonderful weekend, I LOVE MY WEEKENDS! Monday's are such hard work. Next weekend is another good one as we are off down to Leamington for Dorethy's 90th birthday party and to see The Gane's! Can't wait to catch up with my lovely Katie, I miss her so much! Now what shall Rosie wear to this party???? (I do love dressing her up!)

BYE xxxxx

26 weeks and party time!

So above is me now at 26 weeks pregnant, below was last week. I have already started to get the whole'you're so big' comments from people... I don't think I am ridiculously huge, I carried big with Rosie too so I think it is just how my body carries babies!
So today Ant and I went to an NCT sale in Matlock. We picked up some great bargains! Ant got a play mat with the arches and a blow up ring thing for babies for really cheap. Good as new! And I got Rosie a few clothes and lots of baby boy clothes for so little money. I could have spent so much more, if I had of been a bit more organised I could have planned ahead a bit more and got some older boy clothes, although these sales are quite often I will just go to the next ones too!

Later on this afternoon we took Rosie to Baxter, William and Grace's 2nd birthday party, enjoy the photos - she looked gorgeous in her tutu!






I've been cleaning the baby stuff too so that Rosie has a chance to get used to it all before the baby arrives, we're hoping by then she may be a bit bored of it all.

Well I had better scoot as my dinner is now ready, chat again soon xxxxx

Rosie playing peek a boo, this game went on for ages! She really thought that if she couldn't see me then I couldn't possible see her!

Sweet!!

Rosie's new bedroom!

Hello,
sorry it has been a while. I've had a busy few weeks with parents evenings etc.
We've also been getting lots of sorting done ready for Rosie to move into her new bedroom with her new big girls bed. We took our shelves and corner desk out and gave them to Ant and Gareth (who have just moved into their gorgeous new house! congrats you two!) then put a new bed and Rosie's chest of drawers into the little bedroom. It is now all safe with a stair gate on her doorway and only soft toys so that if she does get out of bed in the night there is nothing dangerous for her in the room at all.
Last night was the first night we tried it out, she was amazing. It did take a good 40 mins or so to settle her and I did have to go up a few times and put her back in her bed. After a while it went quiet and I sneaked up to look, she'd fallen asleep in her bed, with her duvet on, soundo! She then slept through the night (only waking once breifly and settled down again within minutes) till 7am! GO ROSIE!



Here are just a few more cute photos I liked, Rosie enjoying her choclate custard, she tried licking the pot out and ended up with a big circle all round her face!
Look at that concentration...


Well she is currently playing the garden with Tim, off for a walk this pm. We had a lovely walk last weekend with a few of tim's climbing friends from uni. They then all came back to ours for fish and chips, it was great. One of the couples has a 7 month old, another couple are expecting twins in June so there was a lot of baby chit chat!

Chat again soon, Mum I will try and update more often so you can see Rosie now you're in France.

Big hugs to everyone reading this xxxxxx
