Bump at 17 weeks + 3 and baby movement!


These pictures were taken this morning, but from slightly different angles. The one on the right is more representative of  how I look now!
Maternity jeans or no jeans, that's how I roll these days ;-) Today I'm wearing my fave skinny ones from Topshop


I might look grumpy, but I'm really not!  In fact, yesterday I was feeling plenty of wriggles and kicks, and that alone brings me immense joy!

Grandpa Laurie visiting

This weekend we had the pleasure of a visit from Bear's Dad, (and Sean's Grandpa) - Laurie. Sean refers to him as 'The giant' as he is 198cm(!) tall and just loved spening time with his farfar :-) 


We spent the weekend eating out at various restaurants such as Ishtar and Summerhouse  and after a traditional Swedish breakfast that I prepared at home. Bear also took his Dad and Sean for a lovely al freso lunch on the lawn at Stoke Park.

It was lovely for us to have the three generations together and we agreed that we must do it more often.. 

Oh, and here is my favourite pic that was simply too good to shrink for the collage:


Father and son, with the envious genes..
Pretty unbelievable to think that these two handsome men are 48 and 73 years old! Now that, you wouldn't have guessed, right?!

Pepperoni pizza & Pinot Grigio

Mummy - I'm not sure I like spicy pepperoni!

Friday night at Sandy's- weekend pizza and Pinot Grigio Blush in the evening sunshine - bliss..!

iPhone images - weekend recap

I "pimped" the sofa with some new black and white cushions

Hubby and I combined dinner and a play date at Anna & Petros'  - parents to Sean's good mate, Nicholas.

We had a delivery of this stunning piece furniture - a Yamaha U4 piano, as my brother no longer has space for it in his new flat. So far I've already taught Sean to play "Twinkle twinkle little star" :-)

 
Cocktail time at a local hostelry! Served in this beautiful crystal glass (must remember to buy a set for our home) as vodka, fresh lime juice, cucumber and ice 
Mummy's little helper, who always tags along to assist me in buying groceries at Waitrose
Food for thought: A beautiful message on a random shop window in Marylebone
"You're only here for a short visit.  Don't hurry, don't worry.  And be sure to smell the flowers along the way"

Tea time after school


On our way home from school, we stopped at Cocomaya for some tea and chocolate brownies.  Bear (who took the pics) worked from home today, so we surprised Sean by picking him up together, which he of course really likes! Family quality time at it's best

Snowy Sunday







Last time we had settling white powder in the capital was around the beginning of last year, so guess if lil man (well.. mummy and daddy too!) were excited when we woke up yesterday morning, peaked out the window and saw thick snow?! 
Its a very rare sight in central London! 

We wrapped up warm, put on Sean his ski suit and and packed him off into the snow... and boy what a delightfully fun afternoon we had :-) Oh, see if you can spot the vintage classic Jaguar covered in snow - stunning isn't' it?!

A family affair

Despite today's  harsh (cold and windy!) weather, we headed out for a mission to find Sean a pair of trainers and to grab some lunch

Sean starts junior football on Monday with a coach from Little Kickers, hence the need to get him the right footwear. 

New and noteworthy handbag - hurray for grey :-)

My morning so far

A kiss good bye at the school gate
- Today it was finally cold enough (-1) to wear my cable knit fur pom pom hat I got for xmas,  for the school run :-)

My favourite low carb brekkie
- Once back after dropping Sean, I did 75 x 12kg kettle bell swings followed by a cheese and mushroom omelette.  Lunch in Chipotle with Andrea later :-)
