The upside to GD
I'm hungry all the time, I can't eat what I want when I want it and my diet is restricted to about 5 different meals, but there is an upside to the diabetes! So the doctors can keep an eye on the Bean we have to have extra scans and on Friday we watched our wee Bean frolic in my belly, cheeky wee thing even stuck their tongue out at us!
The hubster had been extra fabulous this week, he gave me a pedi and has generally stepped up the pampering of El Pregidente and made me feel divine. What can I say, he is even giving up snacks for the moment so I don't feel like I am missing out!
We got a new car this week! Our old car was a bit too small to cope with the onset of baby gear so we (and by we, I mean TBM) decided we had to get a new car. Enter stage left, 'The Beast'. To help put some miles on the clock we did a road trip up to the Blue Mountains yesterday. A wander round Leura looking at the cute little shops, oohin and ahing at the autumn colours coming in, a spot of lunch and a jaunt up the the Three Sisters. What's not to love about that?
I have a big brooch collection which I love to wear and yesterday added a new one to it. Isn't this the cutest thing you have ever seen?! I got it on our road trip to the Blue Mountains in a shop called Mrs Peel, which was choc full of cool vintage finds. I could have moved in to the shop there were so many goodies, but I restrained myself to this one little treat. It's by an Aussie company called Made By White and they have the cutest things, next purchase will be this capybara brooch.
Today I met up with my friends who form our El Pregidente club, three of them have had their bubs already and 3 more of us are still to pop! It's good to have the support of these fantastic women, and be able to swap our experiences with each other. Pretty soon all our little Beans will be hanging out together too.
A wee extra this week... some goals for me to try and stick to!
Next week I will...
Go for a walk or a swim every day
Eat better snacks that I have this week
Make an effort with my outfits (I have been pretty lazy recently!)
