Been a pretty busy week or so it has felt... Felt like Friday on Wednesday.
The weekend just gone was one of my very best friends hen do and it was lots of fun. Not as painful as I thought it was going to be either seeing as being sober on a hen do is pretty hard going! But the fact I was staying with my best friends and all the girls were so lovely it was quite easy to manage. And no hangover for me!
The theme was Katy Perry and because I wasn't going out OUT I didn't take my outfit too far but I did rock a pink wig... Check out everyone's amazing outfits below...

Other than all that excitement everything else has been fairly quiet. Had a little Wagamama with my dad and brothers one night and just been chilling out in the evenings otherwise, catching up on t'telly.
My back has been causing me a few problems, I think I had a trapped nerve or something because sitting at my desk has been causing me agony in the afternoons. It has felt a little better today so I'm hoping its not going to be a permanent fixture :( it's everywhere as well, my tailbone and lower back and now the middle. Not a lot you can do, I have been given a special back support cushion which should help and Sam has been giving me little massages before bed bless him. As horrible as it was spending a whole weekend without him it does make you appreciate each other so much when you are back together <3
Baby has been doing lots of big kicks now. Last night there was most definitely something very hard on both the top and side of my belly (!) clearly maybe a head and foot combo. It's funny to think of her stretching out in there! I had my 25 week midwife appointment this week as well and all is good. I am measuring 25.5 inches which is exactly what I am in weeks so am exactly where I am meant to be. Heard her heartbeat again and it all sounded perfect. She gave the Doppler a little kick as well just to show off. Will be seeing the midwife every 3 weeks now which will be good.
I have ante-natal classes booked in for January which I am really looking forward to! Will be nice to learn some more stuff not just from books, and also meet some couples in a similar situation to us. Am really starting to look forward to Christmas. Maybe because I have two whole weeks off but am definitely keen to allow some Christmas cheer into my life as soon as December hits. First year in our new place too so it'll be lovely to have it all decorated nicely and have a real Christmas feel. And smell, am OBSESSED with the Glade Christmas candles!
I made Sam take a picture of me this week with bump because I have been rubbish at documenting my progress but I am trying to get better... I have also added another page to this site in which I am writing little extended pieces on each trimester. Will be writing the second one in the next few weeks when I am officially in the final one. Please enjoy :)
