I'm going to have a moan!

I've never really noticed this before, because I've obviously never had any need to. What is it with maternity clothing for women? (Obviously, durr). I went into my local shopping centre today with the intentions of buying pretty summery things for when I've developed a bump come june/july/august because I'll have a tummy by then. However for the first time, I came home from a shopping trip with absoultey nothing. Whoever designs maternity clothing must be imagining a saggy 60 year old grandma. They're dull,
they're not at all attractive, they hang off you like sheets, admittidly I'm just carrying around extra fat right now but I've done my research and they're super overpriced. Here are just a few of my picks which I might consider buying if my bank balance and student 'loan' allows it. I'm 22, not 60! We don't suddenly lose the need to look attractive just because we want to be comfortable, I'm comfortable with what I wear now and my clothes don't look like bin liners.....


 Dorothy Perkins    £18.00


 Asos Maternity  £32.00



Again, I'd like advice on places to buy pretty things! At this rate I'm just going to shop in the places I usually do but buy things as I grow or two sizes too big!

Sorry for the shopping/girly/boring/clothes post, on wednesday I'm having my very first scan so I'll be able to show you my little baby Coco, very nervous but excited!


Lots of love

13 weeks and one day


On Friday, I hit 13 weeks!

My baby is meant to look like this.... :/

Anyone else think it looks like an alien?

Baby Coco is meant to be looking more like a baby now, instead of a bundle of cells! Coco can swallow, yawn and hiccup. How cute! If anyone also touches my tum, baby might squirm because its developing reflexes and can curl fingers and toes.
I still don't really feel pregnant, I just feel like a chubster to be honest. You wouldn't know I was pregnant, it looks like fat


Not much sign of anything yet!

I want to get a sign that says 'I'm pregnant, spoil me!' I might start randomly rubbing my back on the tube whilst giving those people sitting down EVILS.
My diet isn't going well either, I've been advised to take Pregnacare vitabiotics supplement which contains all the essential vitamins and folic acid but they're really making me burp and I wont even start on their  omega 3 tablets too. My sense of smell is still really strong (not sure how to describe it to be honest!)
This week I've had ups and downs, its extremely hard being away from my Mum especially right now but I'm thankful for all the support I'm getting on twitter! You guys are awesome, especially you Mr musiccontrolsus ;) I'm going to Wales next weekend to spend Easter with my family, and of course break the news because only my Mum knows right now! Very nervous for that.
I'm not sure if I should do a pregnancy update every week, you guys might get really bored of it. I'm not sure, if you have anything to say on that please let me know!
Oh and any tips, I'm open to them!

As most of you who follow me on twitter know, I recently announced some big unexpected news. I'm 12 weeks and 4 days pregnant! I took some time away from twitter to get used to the news and deal with the horribe dreaded....morning sickness! Now I'm past the three month mark,I'm rather happy because the last three months have been ROUGH. I've had terrible morning sickness and have felt like utter crap! I didn't have any motivation to do anything (Something I'm still dealing with) and didn't feel like getting out of bed every morning, which is a horrible feeling!
Although Baby Coco came at quite a surprise to us, I'm a very happy girly who is ready for what the next 9 months brings me!

I haven't had my first scan yet, but after next week I'm sure you'll get to see my little alien on twitter or on here so look out for that!

Body wise, I haven't really noticed any change. I'm quite a skinny minny as it is meaning I feel like it's going to be quite a struggle. One thing I have noticed however is that I've put on quite a bit of weight in my face!....


                                         I'm wearing only mascara here so please be kind! thank you :)

My cheeks are about the only thing growing right now! I've also noticed a bit of a change in the boobie area but we wont go into that too much yet!
One thing that is getting to me is my sense of smell, it now appears that I have the strength of smell that a  dog has and I'm addicted to the smell of petrol! Very bad. One thing that is really getting to me is the smell of fish, you're probably thinking 'well just don't eat it then'...but my  housemate keeps cooking the damn stuff and it's really turning my stomach! :(

Anyway lovely people, look out for my scan next week on twitter, but I'll probably do a blog here too.
Thank you for all your lovely messages! ♥
