being pregnant and about to get very big (early), i decided to treat myself to a gorgeous maxi dress from FashionJunkee! i originally wanted a blue one, but i think it was sold out of my size at the time so i opted for this lovely violet/purple one instead.
i received it about 10 days after ordering and tore open the package as soon as the mail man left 😛
the colour is gorgeous and it’s really comfortable, i wanted a jersey maxi dress because i knew it would be easy to wear. i added some elastic around the band (hidden of course) so that it had that extra stick, the back is very low and the size was a little big for me – but i know i’ll grow into it over then next 6 months.
i think next time i’ll get something with not such a low back – apparently i looked like i was going to a wedding (who goes to a wedding with a green coles shopping bag and in thongs? LOL) but i still love my maxi dress 🙂
no photos of me in it yet – will post as soon as i get one …
i’ve been very into cooking and baking and just being in the kitchen on my weekends, lately. i just can’t seem to find something that satisfies my taste at the moment, it’s frustrating! the food is good, but my mouth still tells me it’s too bland …
so far i’ve made – custard tarts, mashed potatoes, rice porridge, burgers, omelettes, bread, fish and chips, pasta with a creamy sauce, pasta with a red sauce and meatballs, chicken wraps, chicken sandwiches, tuna sandwiches (not too much tuna though), sushi, cakes and i’m sure there’s more that i’m forgetting because i didn’t take a photo .. lol. no wonder i’m sporting a belly already!
again, sorry for the lack of blogging lately. i think it’s like any stage of your life when something changes – being pregnant with a infant/toddler to look after is something new to me, and later on having 2 kids is going to be another challenge.
i think i’ll try to do nablopomo again this year – a full month (november) of blogging. i think i can do it! even if it’s totally boring to you, i’m sure i can say SOMETHING, lol.
i’m still feeling a bit blah – but some days i feel like the nausea is easing. the tiredness is crippling though – but there are still flashes of the ‘normal’ tracey in some parts of the day 🙂 my bump is getting bumpier – i think part of it is blubber, part of it is my stomach, part of it is bubba. but it’s definately there and getting bigger. (and i know this is going to sound crazy, but i’ve been feeling bubbles this past week – like movement bubbles. i’m almost 10 weeks now, i felt them at 11 weeks with Jasper, before he started kicking at 17 weeks… we’ll see, but i just wanted to make note!).
as Jasper’s 1st birthday gets closer, we’re realising that he’s just not a baby anymore!!! every day he’s more and more like a little boy. he’s cheeky, he’s independent (but wants his mummy cuddles) and he prefers to walk everywhere these days. it’s been a great year, i can’t believe my luck!
