Same due date!

My really good friend Anna who is also pregnant and miraculously have the same due date as I!

We regularly meet up for play dates with Sean and Nick, but now we also share pregnancy tips and experiences which is extra nice :-)

First we went to the hospital where Anna had an antenatal appointment, we then treated our boys to a happy meal and ice cream in McDonalds (which btw had a very funky wall paper, don't you think?!) 

Country bumpkin or city slicker?

For weeks Andrea and I have been looking online at properties in Beaconsfield, and last week we arranged an appointment with the estate agent who's been assisting us.

So yesterday Sean and I got on the train from Marylebone to Beaconsfield where Andrea picked us up in her car. First we had brunch at Beech House, which was recommended to us, and then the viewings began.

The train journey itself only took an incredible 22(!) minutes from the west end of London to leafy Buckinghamshire,  and for the same price as the Marylebone Village mews house that we've been to see several times recently, this is what we would get:

Well the big question remains; do we pack up and leave central London for more space, with another baby on the way?! Country bumpkin or city slicker? Only time will tell.... ;-)

First ever pink shopping!

After our news on Friday, I just couldn't resist doing a tiny bit of shopping for our baby girl  :-)

Pub lunch & house viewing

Popped out locally to grab a bite to eat before viewing a town house for sale here in Marylebone, that has a self contained flat in the basement, with its own entrance (ideal for my Mum in other words! 😊)

Cecconi's

Andrea and I had a girly afternoon yesterday with shopping and giggles around Bond Street, then a celebratory lunch in one of our favourite Mayfair hang out spots, Cecconi's,

We're having a baby.....

At 9am this morning we went for my 18 week scan at the Lindo Wing, and the thankfully the baby was in a very good position where we got a clear view of the private parts!

 It was the most beautiful little bambino to ever grace an ultra sound monitor..... Oh yeah btw... we're having a BABY GIRL!!!!

I am over the moon excited! Now, time to celebrate with a pit stop in the baby section in Selfridges to shop pink, then lunch at Cecconi's with Andrea.

What a fabulous start to the weekend,
and a fabulous Friday indeed :-)

Tummy tip, lunch & craving

Being pregnant, dry itchy skin comes with the territory.  Belly is obviously stretching to accommodate the growing baby, and our skin then pays the price... 
Im rehydrating my skin and smother myself in Bio Oil at night (on bump, hips and boobs). 

I discovered it in my last pregnancy and I luckily I escaped any stretch marks (although that might very well have to do with hereditary).  I've also been using it religiously when not pregnant, on any uneven marks on face, dry knuckles, cleavage and on sun burn. Highly recommended!


Now something completely unrelated, today's lunch was a healthy tuna egg salad:

followed by an afternoon treat to fulfil my current craving; Maltesers ice cream:
