baby weight loss 8 months | Pregnancy Blog Week 37

baby weight loss 8 months

Good morning! And hello to the end of week 37!!! First of all, I feel I should apologise for the heavily edited photograph.  I took it on my way out to meet friends last night, and all I can say is that in colour, my face resembles that of an orange.  I tried a new foundation just before leaving, and either I looked quite frankly luminous last night, or the foundation does not photograph well, Im hoping its the latter.  Either way, the only way the photograph was getting on this post was in black and white, and I thought that was better than no photograph at all!!!!

Weirdly, when soooo many people kept saying how huge I looked earlier in my pregnancy, now people are saying how neat of a bump I have!! This week one woman even asked me if my dates were right as my bump was too small!!!!  I think that really shows not to listen to a single comment about your bump size during pregnancy.  Maybe the bump is like an optical illusion and some people see an elephant and some people see a mouse.  Or something like that.  Anyway, the moral of this blog is dont listen to a word, unless its complimentary of course!  

On the whole Ive felt really well this last week, but Im definitely feeling more tired and I like to be in bed by the very late hour of 9pm. Lie-ins and naps in the day are out of the question with my three year old daughter, so Im getting my sleep in wherever I can.  

I do have some days where I know I have done way too much, and by the time my husband gets home in the evening, I will be exhausted. I then, on occasion, have burst into tears wailing that if I go into labour at that precise moment there is no way I can push the baby out!!! Im not quite sure what the right answer is for my husband to say at this point, but he smiles sympathetically and tells me to take it easy, probably whilst thinking where has the sane girl gone whom he married!

As well as wailing about being too tired, Ive also felt a little bit emotional that my pregnancy is coming to an end.  I actually like being pregnant, which, when I told my friend this, she spat her drink out.  I know, I know.  I probably spent the first 20 or so weeks crying into the toilet, but even at my worst worst moments, somewhere in my head, I knew this was our little miracle. 

I know the pain of not knowing if you will ever hold your own baby in your arms.  I have sat and cried with friends who have gone through IVF and fertility treatments.  I have consoled friends who have lost babies.  To carry and give birth to a healthy baby is truly a miracle.  And now my time is nearly up.  Obviously I know that once baby is born I get to experience that amazing first cry, that first cuddle, those first heady days of utter exhaustion and utter love.   

But as I feel baby wiggle and kick, part of me thinks, is this the last time I will ever feel this?  For me, the end of pregnancy is almost bitter-sweet.  And whilst I cannot wait to meet baby, I am in no rush for this pregnancy to end.  I plan on savouring every second of my last two weeks.

baby weight loss 3 months | Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tisse DAutomne Review

baby weight loss 3 months

I have been wanting this gorgeous Chanel Autumn eye palette for a few months now and earlier last week, I couldnt resist any longer! To be truthful, Ive never actually bought anything from Chanel before for myself.  Ive had items bought for me, but Ive never gone to buy myself a product.  The main reason for that is because Chanel is so expensive.  I really see Chanel as a top-end luxury brand.  But, there was something about the colours in this eyeshadow quad that I really liked, and I may blame it on the pregnancy hormones, but this little quad somehow ended up in my shopping bag!

There is something very luxurious about Chanel products.  This little quad came in a little black suede bag in the box, which made me giggle, as its almost like it is so precious that it needs its only little pouch!  Whats even funnier (or sadder) is that I keep on putting it back in its little black pouch like Im tucking it up every time Ive used it!!!!!

But, onto the eye-shadows.  There are four gorgeous shadows which to me, are perfect for Autumn.   There are two shades classed as ombre shades.  One is a shimmery green colour (top left) and the other is a shimmery brown colour (bottom left).  Whilst both colours are shimmery, they arent too shimmery so they resemble the make-up you used to wear when you were 15.  Its a very subtle shimmer with little fall-out on application.  

The other two shades are a highlight peachy pink (top right) and a intensifying green (bottom right).  Again, the colour pay-off is good, and these shades just work and blend so well together.   

The shadows can easily be used for a day look and then with use of the darker green, really smoked up for a night-time look.  Im really pleased with the palette and Ive worn these colours alot recently.

Of course, there are way cheaper eye-shadows out there, and using this palette will unfortunately not turn you into the epitome of Parisian chic, but, if you want a gorgeous quad palette and fancy giving Chanel a go, then I would highly recommend. 

The Tisse DAutomne Chanel palette is still available to buy here.

baby weight loss 7 months | Re discovering The Body Shop

baby weight loss 7 months

I havent stepped foot inside a Body Shop store for a very, very long time.  In fact, I think it may have been about 10 years ago. The truth be told is that I actually used to work in a Body Shop whilst I was at college.  I really enjoyed working there as I used to get lots of free samples to try the products so I could (hopefully) be knowledgeable about them and recommend them to customers.  Every week I had a new hair mask or cream to try.   

Whilst I liked the job, it unfortunately coincided with me just discovering nights out and alcohol.  I had many a hangover on a Saturday morning, and I can vaguely remember the store manger marching me into the back when I had attempted to do a gift basket for someone that looked like my dog had done it.  No, it looked far far worse than that.  I was never very good with cellophane and bows.  

Anyway, I completely digress.  Last week, I thought I would have a wander in and see what was new and if any products caught my eye.  I left half an hour later with a bag full of goodies and lots of freebies which always signifies a good shopping trip to me!!!

The first thing I picked up was two mini tubs of the coconut body scrub and body butter. These are the original body butters in my opinion, and they smelt as good as ever.  I thought the small body butter would be a perfect size for my labour bag. 

The next thing that caught my eye was the Spa of the World section, which looked like a new range from the Body Shop aimed at being luxurious and bringing spa treatments to home. I picked up this Polynesian Monoi Radiance Oil which you apply to clean skin and you can also apply to hair too. 

This oil feels really luxurious and smells delicious.  It sinks into the skin really quickly and after using, my skin felt really soft and actually looks healthy with a glow.  I havent applied it to my hair yet, but I would say a little goes a long way as after applying to my body, some of my hair rubbed into it and then became quite greasy looking, so just make sure you tie your hair up!!! 

I also really loved the smell of the Hawaiian Kukui Cream, which unfortunately they had sold out of.  It smelt absolutely delicious and was a really thick whipped moisturising cream. I will definitely be going back to pick that up. 

Whilst these products are a bit more expensive than my usual brands, I think they feel really luxurious and are a really nice treat to use.  Ive really enjoyed using them during some me time before baby comes.  

Whilst I was in store, I also signed up to the free Love Your Body Club, which is a reward-points scheme, similar to other in-store points cards.  As I had spent over £25, I automatically got a voucher for £5 off my next purchase and I got a full sized honey body butter and bath melt! 

I have tried both of these products and they smell delicious and probably all the nicer as they were free!!! 

If you fancy a few special body treats, then I would definitely recommend popping into your local Body Shop and its also worth asking about what offers are currently on if you sign up for their points card too!!! 

Now not to say the C word, but I now have my eye on the Body Shops advent calendar and I shall be emailing the link to my husband! I am a sucker for beauty advent calendars, and I was so impressed with these products, I think a little Body Shop treat every day in December would be perfect!
