Fifty Shades........

I have joined the latest craze that involves the name Christian Grey, I'm not a huge book reader but because of all the hype around the fifty shades trilogy I was intrigued to see what all the fuss was about.

I wasn't all that impressed when I read the first couple of chapters but it did get interesting when I reached chapter five but I wasn't sure I'd continue onto the other books so it obviously hadn't gripped me at that point but OMG (in shouty capitals) it all happens in chapter eight.

I became hooked from that point trying to find a spare half hour here and there as I just wanted to carry on ( not so easy when a full time working mummy).

I'm very nearly at the end of Fifty Shades of Grey and wanting more so I have purchased the second book.

I'm not entirely sure what it is about the book, I know it's been labelled women's porn which yes it has a lot of steamy moments but I think it's the thought of a man making you feel the way Ana does....the butterflies, the intense pangs, the mystery, excitement and someone wanting to give you everything. It makes you feel or imagine what Ana must be feeling at certain moments of a slight touch or a stare from Mr Grey.

Well I know it's not just me but many women out there wanting a Mr Grey ( minus the red room....maybe) I think men should start reading it.

What does everyone think about turning the book into a movie?

I'm not so sure as I think we all probably have our own image of the characters so a visual may actually ruin it.

Party Dress

It was my mum's birthday last weekend so I needed a new outfit because nothing fits me at the moment with putting on baby weight already so I had a raid in Matalan. 
I didn't want to wear black and luckily found a colourful stripey dress as in the picture they do not seem to have it on the website maybe because it was in the sale for £15. It was longer at the back and shorter at the front. I think next time I wear this I will get a minimiser bra as they look huge :(

I teamed the dress with these fab Block colour wedges £20 they are fairly comfortable but I  wouldn't want to walk or stand for too long in them. They work really well with the dress.

Week 13

Week 13: (30/06 - 07/07)

I've still been incredibly emotional this week I've found it so easy to cry especially at the beginning of this week but maybe because I have been very very tired as well.

People are really annoying me like neighbours, people on the roads, work even a client who I called was so rude I just felt angry and didn't want to speak to anyone after that.

So I'm emotional, angry and tired when will this come to an end so I feel normal again. One good thing this week I haven't felt too sick.

This pregnancy is defiantly harder than my first and I thought the last one was bad. 

Maybe it's a girl :) 

183 days to go until due date.

Outfit No.12 Under £20

It has been a few weeks since my last outfit but truth is I am pregnant with my second child so I can't actually fit in anything.

The Outfit

• Strappy patterned top from Asda an unbelievable £1.50, it's in the latest sale originally £6 then £3.
• Brown leggings I think these are Primark but I have had them a long time so the label has worn so I'm guessing they were about £4.
• Brown sandals from Asda £2.50 again in a sale but last year they were originally £5.

Total Outfit Cost £8.....BARGAIN

 What do you think?

I Have Some News.........

12 WEEKS

OMG......I am Pregnant with baby number 2 and already showing.

I have recorded my thoughts over the last few weeks on my phone but now the first scan has been done I can publish the start of my pregnancy diary no.2, (5 - 12 weeks).

07.05.2012: Had a positive pregnancy test. I just knew I was as over the last couple of weeks I felt funny, weak, shaky, funny taste in my mouth, weeing a lot and dark patches around my eyes appeared. Also had nausea on / off plus tired which I always am anyway but a different tired, I also hear a heart beat in my ear which I got with Ollie (very odd symptom) I would estimate that I am 5 weeks gone (same time when found out about Ollie).

I have mixed emotions felt pretty shaky when I saw 2nd line appear and then showed hubby omg what will we do as we've just made life even harder for ourselves.

I feel a little embarrassed as we aren't good financially so it's not a good time and I've only been back at work a month but I am kinda excited as we are extending our family, but boy will it be hard work. I actually did have tears as I'm not sure I feel ready for a 2nd and to go through that pain again scares me and pregnancy at work again.

No turning back now uh oh! Can't tell anyone yet, I'll do a 2nd test in the morning to make sure .

Weirdly mum last night looked at my belly and said you aren't pregnant are you as looks hard not blubbery as I was complaining about being fat, looking at pics when pregnant with Ollie I already look 16 weeks.

08.05.2012: 2nd test positive. Kept feeling rather excited today.

10.05.2012: Feeling very sick throughout the day, at one point I had to get up and go the bathroom at work cos I was worried. Very tired. Felt very sick again in evening oh it's happening already.

12.05.2012: Told my mum, I think she was a little shocked.

14.05.2012: Paul told his family so at least out now just got to wait another 6 weeks until scan to tell everyone.

Week 6 - horrible week very emotional feeling very sick. So tired, feel fatter and keep feeling hungry.

Week 9 - been feeling ill last few days not sure if it's related to pregnancy (jubilee weekend) taken day off work as really can't function it, just feel so weak. Past few weeks I've been feeling very sick, emotional and tired. My tummy goes hard sometimes which I'm sure is too early - I'm feeling like I did in late pregnancy last time. Think I've put on another 3lb as well so up to 12st 3lb. I feel like I need to hide the belly especially at work.

08.06.12: First midwife appointment checked weight-which was lower than I thought. I had a blood sample well kinda asked her to as I wonder if I'm lacking in iron as I've been so weak, dizzy and low this week - called work and said I'd be back Monday.

10.06.2012: so emotional today cried before work cos I couldn't face it and fought hard all morning to keep it in then broke at lunch plus feeling sicky and have a cold. Not enjoying it at all but can't wait to get scan date through the post to actually see bubba on the screen.

16.06.2012: Evening feeling so big and uncomfortable.

17.06.2012: OMG what is going on with me Ollie is being naughty and I really can't cope today burst into tears - just feel so low and emotional.

Belly feels so heavy especially when walking feels like im further along.

19.06.2012: Heart burn, keep waking up, out of breath when walking and sure I feel flutters already. Loving strawberries, crisps can't drink tea especially at work (same happened with ollie)

23.06.2012: Am I having twins? I feel bigger, nausea is worse I think and so very tired....I keep thinking it now....find out Tuesday.

24.06.2012: Woke up feeling rough today I'm not sure if it's hayfever or a cold but want to be lazy. I'm so hungry today just want to keep eating.

12 week scan

26.06.2012: SCAN DAY. Not a good start to the morning Ollie up at 6am then started to get very naughty, I'm just too tired to deal with it.
Scan at 10.20am an all is great with one not two strong heart beat and very active little thing, he/she was on it's belly then spun round. I didn't get any feeling of what the sex could be like I did Ollie. Felt much more positive after seeing the little person on the screen.
