Mothers Day

Well Mother's Day falls on my birthday this year, a good or bad thing I am not sure. I decided to buy myself a Mother's Day present early so as not to get it mixed up with my birthday purchase, can't be missing out on presents now can we!

I brought this set of candle holders from Living Light and an aromatherapy burner and oils.

I have really enjoyed having nice smells in the house especially at night. I thought I could have oils burning during my labour but with my face buried in the gas mask they will be of little use.

I also splashed out today and brought a tunic and tights from JK for myself. With six weeks to go, I am literally wearing the same pants everyday and starting to feel a little sick to death of them. I do have others and I put them on sometimes but within an hour I am back in my old faithfulls. I justified the purchase, remembering that I will probably be wearing them for at least two months after the birth as well. So nieve I was first time around I thought that my tummy would be flat by the next day. Well shock horror I was still looking five months pregnant for the first two weeks afterwards, that little bit of information my midwife obviously forgot to tell me!

This time I am aware of the tummy pouch and of the hair feeling like crap for a month or so, I dont feel that bothered by it because I know its just temporary, but there is nothing wrong with making sure I have all the lotions potions and tummy tucking knickers to help me through the trauma. It is also the perfect time to make such purchases, as if I get the raised eyebrow from Chris over the Visa bill I can just say I NEEDED them they were essentials and of course he wouldn't understand bacause he wasn't the one that was PREGNANT was he! that usually puts a stop to any further questions, there needs to be some perks to being an incubator for 9 months (10 months actually).
