Wow, it feels like a long time since I've updated my blog, and I guess it has been a month so I'm right!
The last month has been pretty busy and very soon I'll be officially half way through my pregnancy, so time really is flying. My energy is well and truly back, and I feel like I'm making the most of my 'nice' second trimester. It really is true that you should aim to do whatever big things in your life you need to do during the second trimester, as the first and third can be pretty hard going.
At 16 weeks Buzz and I had an extra 'reassurance' scan at a local private clinic. It was so lovely to see our little baby rolling around and kicking about on the screen. Thankfully everything still looks ok! We also found out we are expecting a little girl! It will be so nice for Posey to have a little sister :)
It was also Posey's birthday last week so we threw her a big Peppa Pig party with 25 of her friends and more soft play than you could imagine! She had a great time. I used to dream of being able to have big parties for my kids during those years when I wondered if it would ever happen. I feel very very fortunate to be able to hold those parties now.
My third business has also taken off well, which I'm really round of. I shall milk it as much as possible before taking a little time off in the new year as my due date approaches!
Another thing I've been doing is writing my list of baby purchases. We pretty much gave away or sold everything we used when Posey was a baby as I felt like I needed closure in case we were never lucky enough to have another child. So I'm getting pretty excited abut hitting John Lewis, JoJo Maman Bebe and Next to start buying for our baby. We're having her bedroom decorated when I'm around 22 weeks so after that we'll buy the furniture, blind, curtains and everything else she'll need. We're also having new carpets fitted when I'll be around 24 weeks so that will be nice! I kind of feel like 34 weeks is 'time up' for 2 reasons. Firstly, I'll be 34 wees at Christmas and it would be great to just focus on enjoying Christmas with Buzz and Posey rather than feel in a rush to get the baby's room ready. Secondly, Posey arrived at 35 weeks so I'm terrified the new baby will be earlier! So weeks 22-34 are going to be very busy with decorating, carpet fitting, baby buying and generally us getting ready!
Our next stop is my 20 week scan. That is on September 18, so is not far away at all. Fingers crossed everything with the baby will still look like it's developing well and we will get some more lovely pictures of our beautiful baby girl x
