Pregnancy Diary // 14 Weeks

14 weeks along, and not much has changed. We got to hear our babies heart beat which was really exciting, Charlie (my 2 year old) loved it.

14 Weeks

Feeling: still vomiting, nauseous and been really tired
Exercise: 3 walks, 1 pool walk
Pregnancy Weight to date: 2kg gained
Body Change: a little bump (and slightly bumpier thighs also he he)

I've had a really busy couple of weeks, and I'm thinking that because I'm tired at the moment morning sickness has been worse. So I'll be spending this week resting up and getting plenty of fresh air.

Fashion at 14 Weeks

Last week I was slightly unenthused in the fashion department. I spent alot of time in comfortable, plainer looking outfits.

A touch of Leopard

This is one of my favorite shirts. It's a vintage piece I picked up awhile ago. I love hints of leopard and bold print with all black. It gives an otherwise plain outfit some spark.

Leopard Top: Vintage for $6
Skinny jeans and Agent99 singlet.
Clogs: Sportsgirl for $80

Pregnancy Diary // 13 Weeks

Hi lovely ladies I'm 13 weeks along and this will be my first pregnancy update. So I hope you enjoy.

13 Weeks
Feeling: still vomiting and nauseous (with afew days break about 2 weeks ago, so health can only be around the corner)
Exercise: 4 walks
Pregnancy Weight to date: 2kg gained
Baby Movement: non at this early stage

So here is the summary. Still not feeling that great but to be honest getting out and going for a walk has been the only way I've gotten my energy back (thank goodness). But don't think I'm complaining ladies, having a baby is a miracle so I'm still very excited.

Fashion at 13 weeks
Because I've only got a small bump I've been making the most of my normal wardrobe. I've uploaded a couple of photos from my past week (and one from around week 8). I'm not particularly keen getting in front of the camera, but as you have requested personal pics I'm giving it a go. So enjoy it ladies and feel free to give me feedback (plus be forgiving if its abit cheesy).

Oversized Shirt: I'm enjoying oversized shirts with short shorts. This is my favorite at the moment. It hides my little bump and while I still fit my shorts I'm making the most of it.
Red Shirt: Vintage $6
Denim Ripped Shorts: $50 on sale

Bold Prints: I love this comfy outfit which consists of my little black fitted tshirt dress. Team it up with this cute black and white print dress (print reminds me of Sass and Bides summer line).
Black fitted dress: Supre $30
Black n White print dress: Cotton On $15 on sale

Something Summery: This is my newest purchase. This gorgeous red flowy dress was the best buy at $8 from a vintage store. I had the hemline taken up on an angle to give it an even more personalised look. I love finding one-off pieces like this dress.

The Simple Life

This will be one of my new additions. I've been reading this amazing little book on Amish Proverbs, Words of Wisdom from the Simple Life by Suzanne Woods Fisher.

I hope that the little proverbs I post weekly will uplift, inspire and help you to see life for what it really is.

Enjoy your week oxo

So get yourselves excited and start to save, it wont be long and Ill be inspiring you weekly on what fashion has to offer you this winter.

Every Intention

Oh dear... I'm so sorry ladies for leaving my blog so long. I promise you that I had every intention of getting back into it. I had a very distracted last couple of weeks.

So enough with excuses... actually no.... the real reason Ive been so slack with my blog...

I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!! 12 weeks pregnant in fact. That's why Ive been so slack. This is my second pregnancy and Ive been so sick (unlike with my first). Nausea and vomiting. So you can imagine why sitting in front of my computer was not really my priority ha ha. But I am back and feeling better by the day which is such a blessing.

So girls my plan throughout this pregnancy is to bring you a weekly update of my tummy's growth, what I'm wearing, and how I'm going with healthy eating and exercising (and possibly a weekly update on my weight). A bit of a nosy view into the life of a pregnant women (I know I love the details so I hope you'll enjoy what you read).

Enjoy the read and feel free to add your own little comments too. oxo
