Spoilt :))

After a morning at the hospital, to try and get baby JJ to play ball (and failing miserably) we got some more photos :)) better than the ones before.

JJ is officially 14 weeks & 1 day old! Baby's due date is now 28/01/14 :)) lets hope it doesn't snow, or be too cold :(( anyways moving it on the new scan photo 

:)) every time I see JJ I love it a little bit more!! My heart feels like it wants to explode! I'm impatient and I seriously can not wait the 183 day till JJ is due ❤ 

So on route back from the hospital, we stopped off for more baby shopping! I will have almost everything I need before long x

Today was the mother in laws turn to spend a wee bit!

So her hail today was:

Steriliser :)

Bottles :))

Dummies

Feeling the love right now x after an eventful couple if days and other stuff this is just what I need to cheer me up x so a massive thank you to the MIL <3 <3 <3 

Eeeeeeeeek super excited now, feels real :)) ❤❤❤❤❤

Baby Shopping Weekend.

Following my announcement last week that I'm going to be a mummy again, Thought I would just give a little update on what I've been up to and where I have been etc......

So I've been mainly on the sofa, catching up on television, much needed me time :)) 

Well the weekend after a really bad day on Friday, hubby suggested we went out to have a butchers at some baby stuff, after weeks and weeks of having to keep quiet and seeing stuff that we wanted, it finally meant we could go check out the baby shops. Now we didn't intend to actually buy anything, but when I was in the shop I just couldn't say no to the deal I had found. Thanks to hubby and the Mother In Law, and after some online browsing. I think I had seen the most amazing, most suitable pram and car seat set. Initially I had seen a few I liked, but with prices ranging from £300-£1000 I thought I would like to see durability, ease of use etc.

So armed with my 22% off babies are us coupon, thanks to the royal baby birth earlier in the week. I knew there could be a potentially very good savings to be had. 

So in we went, and I looked at the few I had seen online, but it appeared that the prices in store were higher than any other websites I looked at and this was on all of the prams I had looked at. After finding a sales rep, I asked if they price compared to other shops, because I had seen the goods elsewhere for cheaper and some offering free gifts etc. the lady confirmed with her manager that they would price compare to any store or website so long as I could show them the difference. So loaded up the John Lewis website and they price matched the pram, and instant saving of £60.00 :) I was happy, I then found that somewhere else was giving a free car seat with the pram, which they also matched. Another saving of £130.00 (very happy me) then I asked if I could use my 22% off voucher and they agreed that too. 

So I actually saved with the discount a whopping £300 :) my pram and car seat all in all cost me £210 :)) very happy Nikki :)) so here's what I got:

Photos obtained from google. One would say a massive bargain :)) hubby likes it too, I was simply too much of a good deal to not buy. But the most important thing has been purchased.

I also managed to get a baby gym, 20% off in asda for the royal birth too and some vests. 

Once again a massive bargain :))

So all in all a very productive weekend of shopping, can honestly say if I carry on finding bargains I think bubba will have everything it needs and more before long. The Mother In Law and Father In Law have even got a baby fund going, they have agreed to buy some bits for us, like steriliser and bottles, other bits and pieces and I know the MIL will be busy shopping because she is just too excited. She has already told us that she will have the kids for us once a month so me and hubby can have time together, it's so lovely to have genuine support and people around us who care very much.

I must not forget that my girlies Rebecca, Victoria, Danielle and Julie have been absolute stars, they have been there for me when I am down, supporting me through all the crap I've got going on at work and more.

I'm very excited about things to come. Life is good apart from work, but then all in all, I just have to remember I won't be there for long before I go off on maternity leave for 6 months :))

Roll on 2014 x

A Little Announcement :)

Wednesday 24th July 2013.

I made a little announcement, friends and family had been told, so updated Facebook and Twitter to make it completely official. I'm having another baby.

My son (now almost 12) is going to be a big brother, me and hubby are going to be parents again.

After 2 days at the hospital, trying to obtain decent scan photos (baby was not playing ball) and trying to get measurements I finally had a photo to show off, no measurements because its clearly a little camera shy! I finally could call the world and tell them. 

As I revealed I was expecting to certain friends and family first as I just couldn't wait to share my good news, whom were sworn to secrecy, I could finally shout it from the roof tops :) 

One friend (becky) bought me a mummy pamper goodie bag, filled up with some treats for me <3 love it, I'm not one for gifts of making a fuss, because I hate simply being centre of attention. Hence why I don't do birthday parties or things that will attract any attention my way! However being pregnant, I actually don't mind! I want to lap up the congratulations and I want people to ask me questions about my pregnancy I am loving the talk of shopping, finding out the sex of child etc etc. I will warn tho, I am not okay with (later on when I get a bump) people touching me! It's a no no! The mother in law (lucky she knows me) clearly wanted to give me a big hug, but she didn't! So you've been warned.

My first gift bag. What is inside :))

All these goodies just for me <3 <3 <3

A closer look.

This is going to be my barrier from stretch marks :)) love cocoa butter, this will be in my bag, so I can apply to bump as often as possible. 

Soap and glory, is simply my favourite, clean on me I think is their best shower gel ever, I use this product all the time, it's fabulous! 

Again soap and glory righteous butter is amazing, smells lush and useful little container, so I can carry it with me and use on the go <3

More soap and glory <3 and my tube has just run out, daily use small to fit in my bag. Use this lots after washing my hands, more frequently now as I need to pee more often x

Estée Lauder (how very posh) mascara, when you need a little pick me up, you can't go wrong with mascara <3 and I think I may need this lots x

Another Estée Lauder goodie (how spoilt am I) nail varnish, this will remind me that after a certain time I simply won't be able to pain my toe nails, I should give hubby lessons now x 

Am going to be using this lots, right now I feel like a zombie, I had a weepy evening last night (hormones) and this morning my poor eyes are puffy and unhappy so this bad boy, will definitely help <3

And finally:

Sanctuary spa, mum to be pack. Comes in a lovely reusable make up bag (handy for my hospital bag, hand bag etc. it has 2 in 1 moisturising shower cream, collagen boosting body butter & tummy soothing bath soak. I just want to submerge. I shall be using this but not yet. I shall wait till a little later. Loving the thought of the tummy soak. <3 . Simply spoilt princess thank you Rebecca x I love love love it x hand hugs x 

So amid my news, my brother kindly called me two days after I went public to tell me his girlfriend is pregnant also, his first words were, I am going to piss on your fire........ Hmmmmmm well Congrats guys (due 29th December 2013) slightly before me me being 04th Feb 2014. Although I think they could have waited a few more days before stealing my thunder (oh well) 

So all in all a pretty amazing gift right. I shall so remember this and do something similar for future expecting friends/family. 

Clearly I am excited about all the things to come, the shopping, the getting larger, the amount of food I can eat <3 I shall keep you all updated on my journey however I promise to still rant, bitch and moan & this blog will still be about everything & not just pregnancy! That I promise <3
