Happy Easter! (almost!)

Me and Ant had a lot of fun this afternoon painting our bumps as Easter eggs! What do you think? I painted Ant's and she did mine as of course we can't see our own lower tummys any more!!!! I think they look amazing (especially the one I painted!)


Mum - who's bump looks bigger now???? Clearly Ant's! :-)




Rosie has been busy painting too, she has to decorate an egg for her Easter competition at nursery, she is starting with painting then she is going to draw on top and maybe I will stick a photo on too of her smiling!




Tim and I went 1/2 and 1/2 with all of Rosie's baby friends on a slide for her 2nd birthday. I know it is in a few weeks but we couldn't resist putting it together now and getting the most out of it, she LOVES IT! I think it will bring a lot of happiness to her time in the garden!

Looking as gorgeous as ever...

Rosie enjoying her melon...

well I am now on holiday at last. This week I am hoping to get all my work done so that I can relax the rest of the hols... we'll see how it goes and how motivated I can get myself!

Fun in the sun!

Rosie and I have had such a great afternoon, we went to twisting tots from 1.30 - 2.30 then went to the park for a bit and met Siobhan and Phoebe for a quick play. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon playing in our garden, it has been so so warm! We had the suncream out and just in t-shirts and bare feet, was heavenly! Fingers crossed the weekend will be the same!





Rosie saw loads of ladybirds today, she let one crawl up her arm and all over her hands, she was so gentle and watched it fly away. She has been a cery happy girl and is now still outside playing with tim and watering their plants.
Only 7 more days of teaching time left till the easter hols. Thank goodness!!!!

lovely weekend yet again, I love weekends!

Me and Ant, finally we have an up to date bump photo taken by Gareth. We met them at the park, Rosie had just woken up so was a little grumpy to say the least, she finally warmed up and wanted to stay and play just as we had decided to go home. Menace! She has however had a lovely afternoon playing with her daddy (I had a nap - first one in months!!! was lovely!!!!!)

We took Rosie swimming this morning too and I asked permission to take a photo or two as I just want the memory on record. She loves swimming so so much.

Yesterday was another crazy day, we went down to leam to see Katie and Phoebe which was so nice, great to catch up with them. Becky and Lou popped in to say hi aswell, I do miss that Milverton lot.

After spending the morning with them, we went to a 90th birthday party! It was the birthday of the lady who lived upstairs from us in our old flat. We used to go upstairs and drink wine and sherry with her, she is lovely. Was very sweet of her family to ask us to come along. Rosie dressed up in her party outfit and looked lovely. We didn't quite realise how formal it all was so we weren't dressed in our best... oh well. she loved seeing us so I am sure she didn't mind one bit. By the end of the day Rosie was shattered, she kept lying down on the bench outside, she was asleep within minutes of setting off back home.




Pheobe and Rosie, she was a super star looking after rosie so Tim and I could sit down at Katie's and have a good old gossip with Katie and her Tim.

Me at 27 weeks, time is whizzing!

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!!
