a true maternity jegging

black top- autograph

cardi- bub2b kmart (both items worn friday lol)

maternity 3/4 jeggings- savers (label says kmart)

The usual sandals- kmart

I feel extreme dissatasfaction with my nose today- it looks really big!!





my weekend was very hot and draining but I did manage to pop into Savers while Geoff and the girls were getting us chips for lunch and I bought these jeans- they are actual maternity jeggings lol. They pull on, have no fly but they have bum pockets! They have a big old front pouch that feels kinda stiff when I sit down (like all day today lol) but when I stand is fine.. I am guessing its coz all I have worn for the past few months is leggings lol. I also bought another pair of "jeggings" but they are not maternity, just fat wear lol.





These are I guess what I mean by true "jeggings" not the printed of lycra legging bullshit. I still like my new kmart ones but I want more of these style ones. Although, I am not 100% sure on the kicky out leg.. u know how I feel about anything other than a skinny!!!

Three posts in row? How good am I? (puffed out chest)

So its Friday afternoon, 4:27pm. 33 minutes till hoooome time!!! YAY!!

this is what I am contemplating for the weekend;

• going to bed early tonight with my new body pillow. me + body pillow= love.


• getting up tomorrow and going to the shops quickly to have an eyebrow wax. I think i deserve it.


• then going with geoff and the kiddies to the beach.


• sunday- sleep in, work on the chest of drawers for the babies room (stripping it so we can repaint it white)

sounds good.. ohh and wating some hot salty chips on the beach!

Today I am wearing the new cardi and leggings I bought last night- want my review of the kmart plus size jeggings? Look they are ok. For $19 they are more than ok. High waist which I love.. nice colour and stitching. Bad things? They are extremely thin and not quite full length but not quite 3/4. I am quite tall though and I usually like the extra long leggings. I was going to buy another pair but i am not going to- I will wait and see who else brings these out in a plus size this winter. I am sure big w will.

Have a great weekend all!

I got a card reader- I got a big black shiny card reader

Black leggings + sandals- Kmart

grey and black stripey tee-shirt- Target maternity

Black cardi- Target

Yup. I got me a new card reader so I can still have my husband take the pics but I can now upload them again. Thank GOD! Its not that I look so god damn fabbo that I want to share myself with the world or that I have so much freakin fantastic wardbrobe-ish at the mo.. but I really wanna document my pregnancy. Aww.

So today the work aircon was on so I got a bit done till after lunch then I cruised a bit lol. I am getting on better with the boss which is good, we are pretty casual and jokey with each other at the moment and its woking out ok. Lotsa work dramas going on with people not happy in this department and complaints about someone here.. and I tend to be the ear most people go to! Not sure why! I don't think I am very trustworthy lol!

Mum picked me up at 5pm and we headed to baby bunting to wack $150ish on my layby but they closed at 5pm!! WFT Now I have to pop in saturday while husband and the step kiddies stay in the car, how annoying!! GRR!! I am quite excited but because I am picking the layby up next weekend! So next weekend I will not be leaving the house.. I will be setting up baby bobs room!! YAY! We then went to Spotlight as they obviously beleive in late night trading and I got a body pillow- I think it was time for one.

Then to target where I put $50 on my target baby layby (only $100 to go!) then to Kmart where I picked up a new bronzer.. and a maternity grey drapey cardigan for $19 and omg guess what else? a pair of plus size jeggings lol. They are not toally awesome but they were $19. They are not quite 3/4 and not quite full leg either I think. I did buy them in a biiiiig size so they would be a little longer. They are kinda thin too. Look for $19- they will rock.. but anything over $19, I would have been umming and ahhing. I will let you know how they go.. I am sure I will wear them tomorrow.

Doesn't my tum tum look kinda preggo now in this target maternity top?? hmm??

Week 23

god.. ok i know i look like shit.

grey jacket- millers (omfg yes) a million years ago

one of my new fave tops- city chic (like- $10, boxing day sales)

faded ug leggings- big w

sandals- kmart

god i need to go to the hairdresser. do i even look almost 6 months preggo? Pfft. Just fat. Where is my cute tum tum??

So I didn't realise that when I posted last week I was 22 weeks not 20. Therefore I am now 23 weeks :-)

The baby moves more each day I reckon. The other say I had this weird pulsation happening internally down below lol.. I think now it is just the baby jumping up and down. Feels funny!

By next weekend I hope to have the baby layby picked up so I can set up the room!! YAY!! VERY excited. Hurry UP next week. This weekend we have the girls and I just want to have a quiet one.. might take them to the beach saturday however and need to do birthday cake as it is Katherine's 8th birthday. I can't beleive she is 8. Farrrk.

Work is OK- a bit busy atm which is cool-ish. lol. So here is this weeks q and a!!

My brain is... unable to switch off but not terribly alert- ya know?

My body is... pissing me off as I look fat and not preggo and all I wanna do is eat. My tummy is bigger and harder but its not a cute package ya know.. but i guess i knew i wouldn't have that. My hair looks like it needs the roots done ASAP lol- next wednesday. My skin looks ok except I keep getting little witchy poo chin hairs lol!!

Dressing myself is.. Getting annoying!! Things I thought would fit don't!! Leggings are my best friends but I want some jeans!! Searched high and low last saturday afternoon for some jeans at fountain gate- pfft, nothing. Thankfully I remembered this lady on ebay who used to make skinny leg/pull on jeans and I contacted her and she is going to make me a pair! YAY! Wish I could sew

My emotional state is.. Not too bad actually! But I am kinda snappy with people lol and get frustrated easily.

Things I have noticed? I still have heartburn but its coz I eat shit. I crave things then forget what I am craving and nothing food wise seems to satisfy. Its like I want something but i don't know what it is!! Work has been more easy going and that makes me happy. I am too tired on the weekend to do stuff lol so I have one hald day-full day of doing things and then sunday I have to rest lol. I feel bad, like I am not seeing much of my friends but I am exhausted by end of the week!! I am not peeing quite so much of a night which is great but turning over in bed is killing me, i feel like a hippo lol. My pelvis cracks when I roll over and I need a maternity pillow severe!! I still love being pregnant but. So there.

Yeah?

Yeah ok i knowwww how long its been. Well aware.
I have so much to do. Like I really want to document my pregnancy but here we are, week bloody 22, over half way thru, no documentation lol.
My camera card ready shit thingy is farked and not reading the card which is pissing me off. Not that I have any photos for you realllly. Just one of me in a yellow gingham inappt short babydoll dress with a bikini under on the way to the beach. Mah. I will start soon. Bought a few little thingies at the Boxing Day Sales so will debut.
So what's been going on?
I'm tired. So tired. This is my new week plan.
monday to friday 6-6:30am. Wake. 8am- start work. 5pm- leave work. 5:30pm start dinner. eat dinner. do dishes. do washing. go on internet. watch tv. bed. Try to be in bed by 10pm ish
Saturday- my day out. Shopping etc. 10pm saturday night. Collapse.
Sunday- cannot leave house as too tired. Sleep really late, do a tiny bit of house cleaning and order in dinner.
work is draining. I don't have enough to do for a 9 hour day but hey- if they're paying. I hope they don't find out but they will when I go on leave and someone takes over and completes my work in 3 hours a day. Serious. ATM I am like- 30 mins of work.. 5 min google... all day long.
I am having such fun planning the baby nursery but can I please have everything for free? I am pretty lucky we have some ivf cashooli left over but I feel like that is now my security blanket and I can't spend it lol. I want to save and use some while on leave and I also want to save up about a grand before I go on leave for "stuff" (emergency hair and clothes stuff) I am planning on working to week 39 actually.. health permitting (all good so far) as my job is shit boring and piss easy. I doubt I will make it, I reckon i will go early but whatever. Better to be at work than bored shitless at home willing this little monster to exit the vjayjay.
So my nursery theme is Malawi. See below.

So far I have the quilted wall pics.
quilt, valance, cot bumper, sheets, pillow, pillowcases, rug (not seen) and lamp. All for under $250 which is pretty snazzy. I am having the mobile delivered tomorrow at work and I am done. I cannot seem to find the laundry hamper anywhere which sucks but i will keep an eye out.


I figured this was a good theme as its safari-ish which suits my house and I love and its unisex.. its kinda boyish but for a baby its ok. Like I'm sure if its a she, she will deal with it. I am pretty sure its a boy however. Why don't you find out you ask? Well we TRIED but the little bugger is floating around on her/his tummy in my tummy so its hard to see. First morphology scan said girl. Second said boy. Well. Hmmph. I guess we wait and see.

So just to record how I feel at 20 weeks...

My brain is... tired and disinterested.
My body is... fat but not huuuge.. yet. My tummy is still squishy but when I oush around and just above and below my belly button i can feel my uturus. Its awesome to feel it.. My hair looks nice and is growing. My skin looks prety good.. shiny but not too oiled up. No pimples atm.
Dressing myself is.. hard only because I am very hot and cold so I have to have layers.
My emotional state is.. hormonal. I balled when I watched australia last night.
Ny sex drive is.. there.. but too tired to act upon.
Things I have noticed?
I have heartburn and it sucks and I hate it, it burns and Mylanta makes me want to spew.
I can smell things. Like the toilet at work. the dishes at work. peoples breath. Cigarette smoke. The bin. Ew ew EWWWW
Bob ( the baby) moves up of a night. so that when I am trying to sleep it feels like I have just eaten a massive meal. Its uncomfortable.
Going to the toilet to pee 3-4 times a night is cruel.
Feeling the baby move (first time, last Monday 11th january) is frigging awesome. Like someone tickling you from the inside.

Really.. I am loving being pregnant. LOVING.
