<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>How far along? </b></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">The
end of week 33, not long now until I have a full term baby! </span><br />
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Total weight gain? </b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #999999;">2 stone last time I was weighed. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Maternity clothes? </b></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Nothing this week, although I am getting ready fed up of my outfit choices, maternity jeans on rotation constantly isn't much fun!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm also looking for something nice to wear for Christmas day, that I can somehow get away with wearing afterwards too. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I did get a gym ball though, so I've had a few bouncing sessions on that, it's so comfy! </span><br />
<br />
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Stretch marks?</b></span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #999999;">None
yet. I'm still using my <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.elemis.com/skincare/productdetails.aspx?pid=40" target="_blank">Elemis oil</a></span>, and LOVE it. Definitely my personal favourite out of all the oils I've tried so far. It's about to run out and I have another on the way. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Sleep? </b></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Sleep
is still really difficult as I just get so uncomfortable and feel
pretty heavy. I'm getting up even more times a night now to go to the bathroom, waaaa. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Best moment this week?</b></span><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Not baby related, but passing my driving theory test, I was so nervous that I would fail, even after tons of revision. It's going to be a very close call as to weather I can pass my driving test before little Jeffy comes along though...</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I re-joined the gym too, I've only been twice but am feeling much better for it. </span><br />
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Worst moment this week?</b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Again, not a worst moment as such, but I literally HATE supermarket shopping right now. Bumpy really gets in the way and I feel like I'm saying 'excuse me' every two bloody seconds! Also, I can't squat low enough to get to the bottom shelf.... kinda embarrassing! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Miss anything? </b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Still missing my apatite, poached eggs, and gin. I know I shouldn't say it, but I'm really missing my old flat tummy now! </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Movement?</b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #999999;">He's calmed down a little bit, but still some big movements going on. He also tends to get the hiccups at least a couple of times a day now too, rather violently I must say!</span><br />
<div style="color: #434343;">

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white;">

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Food cravings? </b></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Arimo;">Still chai tea lattes. Do I even need to mention chocolate?! I think it's just a given now...</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Anything making you feel sick or queezy? </b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">

<span style="color: #999999;">Period pains. I'm getting these kind of regularly now, I'd say about every other night. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Tiredness, it gets to about 5.00pm in my working day, and honestly I'm ready to settle down and go to bed!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Belly button in or out? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Outy.</span></div>
<br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Generally really happy. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b4a7d6; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;"><b>Looking forward to?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">Going on maternity leave! I've decided to go a little earlier than I originally planned, and I'm feeling like I need it no. Only 2 weeks left... scary.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">I've planned lots of things to do like yoga, the gym, swimming and some hypnobirth classes (more on that in another post). Oh, and of course there will be Christmas to organize for too, so I'm sure i can keep myself occupied while I wait.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="background-color: white;">Firstly I must apologize for the state of my strange looking hair in the second part of this weeks update, I'd just woken up from a nap and was so exhausted <span style="color: #b4a7d6;">I</span> literally didn't care about looking in the mirror before filming!</span></span><b> </b></span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>How far along? </b></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">The
end of week 32, seriously guys, where is the time going?! </span><br />
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">

<span style="color: #999999;">2 stone.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Maternity clothes? </b></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">It doesn't really count, but I bought a support bump band, to help lighten the load and hopefully ease my backache!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Also going over bumps on the Vespa (yes I'm still managing to cling on to my Vespa rides with Stefan) is getting more uncomfortable so I'm hoping it helps with this.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Our last scan, we found out the little one already has hair :) I'm very happy about this indeed! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Playing the torch game with jeffy, I think the light must have freaked him out though because everytime we shined it on my belly he went really still. </span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">This sounds ridiculous but I had a bit of a hormonal 10 minutes where I cried because my feet have gone all puffy and fat...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Good morning everyone! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">So, after a few of you have asked me about my make-up and skin over on <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/alittlebeautyvlog" target="_blank">my Youtube Channel</a></span>, I decided to film my everyday natural make-up routine for you all. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I haven't done one of these beauty videos in a very long time, so do let me know if you like it and if it's something you'd like to see more of on my channel! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />I'll be back on Youtube at the weekend with my pregnancy update for you :) </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Hello there lovies,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;">another week has come and gone, can you believe it? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I can't help but think it'll be Christmas before we know it, and more to the point, my little baby will be here before we know it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I've certainly been feeling festive this week, which I'll admit, is unusual for me so early on. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Perhaps it's all the lights up in London? Oh and the fact that I seem to have developed a <b><i>serious</i></b> peppermint mocha
addiction. I'm telling you, it tastes like a delicious sober Christmas. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">This week has involved a burger and movie </span><span style="color: #999999;">date in Chelsea, a wintery walk home, and a spot of serious beauty and make-up organization. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="color: #999999;">Oh, and not forgetting that <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klCc5hUcAjQ" target="_blank">Draw My Life</a></span> went live last Friday night. It was such a <u>huge</u> project, so that was a big part of my week. As I said in <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://alittlebeautyspot.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/week-30-pregnancy-update.html" target="_blank">my last post</a></span>, I am so overwhelmed at the response, I was literally bombarded with gorgeous comments and emails all week. I have the best viewers ever. Seriously, thank you. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I think perhaps my favourite part of this week, was our impromptu Battersea firework outing, as we happened to be driving past at the time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I always feel so nostalgic come firework night. I think it's because I've always had such good memories of it, and strangely I feel like it's always a real time of reflection for me. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">This year was no exception, Stefan and I snuggled up with a cup of tea on the big windy London Bridge, and our little baby Jeffy was wiggling around inside me. It was an awesome moment of complete happiness and contentment. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">My beauty pick for this week, is without a doubt <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001GKBBRO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B001GKBBRO&linkCode=as2&tag=wwwivoipcouk-21" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Chanel Inimitable waterproof mascara</span></a>. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I never go too crazy with mascara as I love a natural make-up look, so my mascaras always tend to last a good few months. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">With this in mind, as scary as it sounds, I thought this could very well be the mascara I wear the day I go into labour, hence why I picked water-proof... </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I realize that may sound completely INSANE to some of you, but I <i>know</i> I'll want to wear make up, no matter how much pain I'm in!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">I ended up purchasing this for a tastey £13, as I had an unexpected voucher on my account. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Don't you just love it when that happens?! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Especially as I got to the till feeling a little bit guilty about spending so much on a mascara... </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">With or without the voucher though, I'd definitely recommend it, such an intense black, and really lengthening. You can never go wrong with Chanel.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwRqE-4OK67rS-o_x5rLOkrOzfGaVcNKDeVNPh7Rf_lF876Ta9H_6kB4-BCOy5NawmEnM6j3ihn2GM5M_UjZOjfv0rfd983fVJWZq-1z-Q6aPsJ-4U8c7ReVfGgAt-enQtknCd7wfzfkw/s1600/final2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwRqE-4OK67rS-o_x5rLOkrOzfGaVcNKDeVNPh7Rf_lF876Ta9H_6kB4-BCOy5NawmEnM6j3ihn2GM5M_UjZOjfv0rfd983fVJWZq-1z-Q6aPsJ-4U8c7ReVfGgAt-enQtknCd7wfzfkw/s640/final2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-small;">I'm not sure you can tell so much in this photo but it really lengthens and intensifies the lashes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Another beauty product I've been actively cooing over this week is the <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.charlottetilbury.com/Bronzer_and_Highlighter/bar-of-gold.html" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Gold Bar</a></span> highlighter. I can't stop thinking about it. This is very sad, I do realize that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm just waiting for my current highlighter to run out so I can justify the purchase. Is it okay to buy <i>myself</i> a Christmas present? Or perhaps a present for getting through pregnancy?!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">What have you been up to this week? Have you tried the Gold Bar or Inimitable?</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I hope you all had a lovely week.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;">I know most Youtubers filmed the famous 'Draw My Life' ages ago now, but I've only just got around to it... I thought it would be a fun thing to do for those of you who have just stumbled across my channel or follow my pregnancy vlogs but don't know very much about me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;">I posted it on Friday night and I honestly <i><b>cannot believe</b></i> the response it's had so far, I'm so overwhelmed you guys are seriously amazing for all the lovely things you've said.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">I've had countless emails, tweets and messages, you've even got me teary eyed myself!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;">So I just want to say a little thank you to everyone who has watched and commented so far, it really does mean a lot to me. </span><span style="color: #cccccc;">I think I'll need to dedicate a whole evening to reply to you all!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Oh, and I think we should all say a massive thank you to the hubby too, who also spent <b><i>loads</i></b> of time editing this video for me, and put up with countless strops of an over-tired preggo!</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Hey there everyone, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I hope you don't mind, I wont be doing a Youtube update this week because </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klCc5hUcAjQ" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Draw My Life</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> was such a big project that I felt so exhausted and needed a little break from filming. I <i>have</i> filmed a beauty video this week instead instead though. </span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>How far along? </b></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">The end of week 30 now, time seems to be flying by. </span><br />

<div style="font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #999999;">Nothing new this week, I did buy a winter coat from Zara, it makes me look like a whale but literally every single coat I've tried has the same effect. I just had to admit defeat in a bid to be warm. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">

<span style="color: #999999;">Nothing so far, fingers crossed. My Mama Mio Tummy oil made it through another week, I'm so impressed as I thought it was pretty much ran out. I've very generous with my applications too!</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 18px;">

<span style="color: #999999;">The whole weekend was very serene really, hubby and I had lots of cuddly moments and we're feeling really excited about little Jeffy now. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Oh also, I have to say the response I've had to draw my life has been nothing short of incredible. The Youtube and blogging community are so supportive and caring, I love you guys. </span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Maternity clothes? </b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arimo; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Yes, although nothing overly exciting. I purchased some pretty <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/467741111270248790/" target="_blank">preggo-panties</a></span> and some <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/467741111270193504/" target="_blank">polka dot maternity/nursing pjs</a></span> from Topshop. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I thought they were really cute and I can use them when breast-feeding because they have buttons for easy boob-access. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm on the look out for a bump support band too, I think it might help my skin recover if it's weighed down less?</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Oh, can I also just mention that there don't seem to be any kind of coats which flatter a pregnancy shape, I've tried on SO many, and in the end I've just had to accept that they will all make me look massive. Boo. </span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Nothing so far, fingers crossed!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I'm still using <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://nspa.co.uk/products/nourishing-stretch-mark-oil/" target="_blank">NSPA oil</a></span>, but this time in the shower. I find it really sinks into my skin nicely that way and i like it much more. It gives a really nice soft finish. I've just finished up using my <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.mamamio.com/uk/tummy-rub-stretch-mark-oil.html" target="_blank">Mama Mio Tummy rub oil</a></span>, which I've really enjoyed, particularly the smell.</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Sleep is varied, and some nights are better than others. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">We got a new memory foam mattress this week, and you literally sink into it. It's SO comfortable but I'm finding it quite hard to get out of once I've sank into the middle... I even woke myself up sleep-talking last night saying 'I wish I could pay someone to help push me out of this bed at night'.... strange lady aren't I? </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">It's got to be having some lovely cozy nights in with my husband, and just watching Jeffy move around in my tummy together, I really am such a home bunny right now. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">I spent all weekend working on my 'Draw My Life' video, I had no idea what a huge project it was, and it made me so exhausted, so I was terribly grumpy! I have to admit I'm dreading how grumpy the lack of sleep will make me when little Jeffy arrives...</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arimo; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">

<span style="color: #999999;">Being able to cuddle properly! i do miss having a proper squeeze, I'm such a cuddler. Still missing not being able to drink, I'm pretending Halloween doesn't exist this week, it's just no fun preggo! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Oh, and getting out of bed not being a huge mission. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Little Jeffy-bump really is massive mover and I love it. He's constantly squirming around, I do wonder if he ever sleeps? I know lots of people say their babies have a pattern, he doesn't really seem to have one, he just moves constantly. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">He's still loving my right rib area, particularly when I am walking along or lying down. He kicked me so hard in the ribs the other night that it actually woke me up! Oh, he gets hiccups now too which I love :) </span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">When i filmed my update I couldn't really think of any, but now I've remembered a whole bunch of them...</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Stretching pains in my lower abdomen, being tired,</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I also had really bad heartburn at the beginning of the week, before I discovered the cold glass of milk</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">The title of today's post seems appropriate, 'Pure Zen' epitomizes how I've been feeling all week long. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Calm, content and
serene. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I'd even go as far as saying this is the best I've felt throughout my pregnancy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">It's also paying a little homage to my new lipstick l<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: #999999;">ove</span></span>,<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: #999999;"> </span><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/search/esearch.tmpl?search=pure+zen&search_submit.x=0&search_submit.y=0" target="_blank">Pure Zen by MAC</a></span></span>. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I find nude-toned lipsticks particularly suit my complexion, and as I've always favored a natural make-up look, they are a safe choice for me. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">It may sound ridiculous, but I honestly think I was <i>meant</i> to own this. I popped into MAC one lunchtime specifically for this shade, and out of the thousands
of lipsticks all perfectly lined up, this was the first one I reached for. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">If there was such a thing as 'lipstick destiny', I think this was it! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Pure Zen is sightlier peachy toned version of my usual go-to, <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/products/spp/shaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT168&PRODUCT_ID=PROD310&SKU_ID=SKU2246" target="_blank">Hue</a>. Cream Sheen formulas are my favorite offerings
from MACs lipstick collection; I find them creamy upon application, long lasting and they don't tend to cause dry lips. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I think I'll always <i>love</i> my nudes. I know they aren't particularly adventurous or Autumnal as such, but anything
pinky or peachy-nude and I find it terribly hard to resist. I can certainly say with confidence that this one wont be leaving my daily-make-up bag for the foreseeable future.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">I know <a href="http://alittlebeautyspot.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/vixen-autumn-chat.html" target="_blank">last week</a>, I ranted about how I was loving my autumnal nail polishes, but as you may have guessed from the above, I'm never one to shy away from a gorgeous classic nude shade and nails are certainly no exception.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><a href="http://www.essie.com/search.aspx?q=ballet%20shoes" target="_blank">Ballet Shoes by Essie</a> being my current preference. You can't beat an autumn
pastel shade, and I thought it went rather well with my coat and lipstick of choice. Although you definitely need to apply two coats to get a good color pay off, I think it's worth it, what a beautiful shade. </span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">This week has seen me mainly tucked away in a cozy corner with a cuppa, writing the script for my 'Draw my Life' video for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/alittlebeautyvlog?feature=watch" target="_blank">my youtube channel</a>. Oh boy, has it been <u>hard work</u>!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">It turns our condensing almost 25 years into a 10 minute into a narrative script is a terribly difficult task, which has ended up taking hours. I <i>wish</i> I was exaggerating, but unfortunately, I'm not.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">So, I <i>exhausted</i> myself with that this weekend, drafting the cartoons until the early hours, and filming the final thing. I couldn't have done it without the husbands help and encouragement, he put up with a alot of preggo tantrums this weekend (you can even see a mini one at the end of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ecnKu5-eVo&list=PLxl4ohTkRtOal47AgOrRrzCxbI4Zfmkg_" target="_blank">my latest pregnancy update video</a>)... Bless him, he deserves a medal. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Finally, I suppose there's no need to say really that I have been ferociously 'pinning'. Seriously, my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/hannahmaggs/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> addiction has grown, I'm not quite sure how I'm ever getting any kind of real work done! This week I've been obsessing over my <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/hannahmaggs/autumn-is-my-favourite/" target="_blank">Autumn board</a></span>, and have created a <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/hannahmaggs/currently-coveting/" target="_blank">Wish list</a></span>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/hannahmaggs/inspiration-for-the-home/" target="_blank">Home</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/hannahmaggs/hair-and-make-up/" target="_blank">Beauty</a> board too. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">How have your weeks been? Have you tried Pure Zen before? Are you excited about my 'Draw my Life' video?</span><br />

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>How far along? </b></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">End of week 28</span><br />
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Total weight gain? </b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">I haven't weighed since last week when I was 56.4kg.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">My midwife has started measuring bump now too, she said bumpy is on the small side of normal. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">I think they like you to measure 2cms over or under, and jeffy-bump is in the 2cm under bracket. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm not sure if that's just because I'm quite small, she wasn't worried though, so neither am I. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Maternity clothes? </b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">No new maternity clothes, I don't really like any of them so I'd rather save money for some 'new mummy' treats when I am skinny again. Although, I desperately need to go and pick up some preggo-pants, sadly my bum has grown and so has bump. Normal pants just aren't acceptable right now! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I did get my hospital gown though, ahhh! I can't believe getting to that time when I need to start thinking about packing the hospital bags. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm also really struggling to find a winter coat. I don't want to buy a maternity one, but everything I've tried is so unflattering for bumpy and I. Any suggestions are very welcome.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Not yet, I'm using NSPA oil now and I don't really like it, I miss my </span><a href="http://www.mamamio.com/uk/tummy-rub-stretch-mark-butter.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Mama Mio Tummy Rub Butter</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> but it's a little pricey. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm on the search for a more purse friendly one that I liked the smell of. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Rolling over in the night has become <i>really</i> painful, sometimes it even makes me yelp.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I wake up to go to the bathroom a lot still. So not too wonderful, but okay. </span></div>

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">All Jeffy's movement, he sure is a feisty little thing. I'm wondering if he's going to be such a wiggly worm on the outside world?! I think I'm going to have trouble on my hands when he arrives! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">The comments I received on my latest Youtube channel were so lovely and overwhelming I feel so lucky to have such supportive followers, massive thank you so much to each and every one of you. I've loved sharing this journey with you so far. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Stef and I went out for dinner and drinks on Saturday night, it was so nice to have a little snippet of our 'old life' hehe. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Oh, this might sound strange, but other people's babies arriving, </span><span style="color: #999999;">Sofia from </span><a href="http://www.sofiasjournal.com/2013/10/hello-again-and-some-news.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Sofia's Journal</span></a><br />

I</span><span style="color: #999999;">t's made me feel so happy and excited for them, and I felt a little emotional too! </span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">One of my favourite pregnant blogging ladies </span><a href="http://lucieandthebump.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Lucie</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">, was also told her baby is very likely to arrive in the next couple of weeks, I'm ridiculously excited for her!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Frankie from the Saturdays finally had her little boy too, she announced her pregnancy the day I found out I was pregnant, so I've always been interested in her pregnancy. I </span><span style="color: #999999;">can't wait to see a photo of her little chap! </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Movement has been insane!! He's managed to find his way to my right rib now, and he feels really strong. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">He's also been getting hiccups and has had them about 5 or 6 times now. It was such a strange sensation the first time it happened, and when I realised what it was, it made me smile :) I do feel sorry for him though because they go on for a good 15-20 minutes sometimes.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Bad heart burn, </span><span style="color: #999999;">sometimes it completely kills my appetite, which is strange because I'm still hungry when I actually eat, I just don't feel hungry. </span><br />
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
</div>
<span style="color: #999999;">And as I mentioned before , the pelvic pain at night, I think this is due to the pressure on my hips and pelvis. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Hot chocolate, chunky knits, and the earthy smell of fallen leaves in the park.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Autumn has finally arrived, and is <i>without a doubt</i> my favourite time of year. For some reason it just makes me feel really nostalgic, and seems to be the season for reflection. As Mr. Fitzgerald beautifully phrases it, 'life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall'.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Autumn certainly is a time to get cosy, I think that's probably why it's my favourite season.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I've been such a home-bunny recently, and that's probably a lot to do with being pregnant. I honestly think it's the perfect season to be pregnant!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm really enjoying evenings in, accompanied by a cup of tea, a few scented candles, and a cuddles with the husband. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Stefan and I have gradually been getting more and more prepared for Mr.jeffy-bumps' arrival too. We've ordered a </span><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/467741111270193961/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">gorgeous little baby bouncer</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> and have agreed it's almost time to order and pick up his pushchair. I've been going completely crazy over on </span><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/hannahmaggs/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">my Pinterest</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">, on Friday I spent about 6 hours obsessively pinning baby related photos. It's getting a little out of hand, I may need an intervention soon!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">In terms of beauty, Autumn also means I can start wearing all my favourite nail shades again. I have always preferred darker polishes, particularly of the deep berry colour (although I am always partial to a nude/french manicure shade too). In fact, I'm sure my nail varnish collection is pretty much all sorts of variations of the same colour!</span><br />
<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-Nail-Enamel_33582/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Vixen</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">, a dark vampy plum shade by Revlon, has made a welcome appearance on my nails over the last couple of weeks. It's very similar to OPI 'Vampire State Building', which I think they discontinued. You'll be happy to know it's rather purse friendly too, at just under £5. You'll definitely need a base coat, and a couple of coats of Vixen to get a lovely opaque look. The consistency is quite watery, but as I said, a couple of coats and you're good to go! Instant Autumnal-ness (is that a word?!)</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I've been such a happy little preggo this weekend (it makes a change!), so we've managed to pack a few activities in. Trust me when I say, I am most definitely appreciating having the time and energy to do all these things now, from grabbing a hot chocolate on a walk, (you'll see a little more of that in </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ees_qQNxR9w&feature=c4-overview&list=UU2Ex6mz9I0DS92uVoW6pfSg" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">my most recent pregnancy vlog</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">), to going out out for dinner, or finding a spare couple of hours to do a spot of </span><a href="http://instagram.com/p/fsfPpvwqlQ/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">home baking</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I'll admit, </span><span style="color: #999999;">I'm rather exhausted now, but it's was worth it! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">People keep telling me how much things will change when little Jeffy comes along, so I almost feel like these last couple of months are a strange in-between limbo-type stage. We know how different our lifestyle is going to be soon, and we're just waiting for it to happen.</span></div>

We really enjoyed our little date, it was such an artsy, eclectic atmosphere.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">In fact, we liked it there so much, that we've decided it should be our first proper date alone together after Jeffy is born. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I must say I'm looking forward to being able to drink and making my way through the cocktail menu!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">On Friday night, the ladies and I agreed it was about time for a little catch up. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">After deciding that our evening should consist of a dinner, wine & cake combo (wine for the girls, cake for me), we ended up in a lovely little place called <a href="http://murielskitchen.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Muriel's Kitchen</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">We were gladly welcomed in from the rain and seated our soggy selves in a rather unusual spot, with pastel coloured chairs that hung from the ceiling and resembled swings. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Perfect for preggo little me, very comfortable indeed. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">The inside of Muriel's is honestly every girls heaven as far as home interior goes. It's shabby chic all the way, it looks like something straight out of Pinterest. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Lovely little bird-cage lampshades hung above us, scented candles on our
table, homemade cakes and a kitchen clock in the shape of a dog, that
wagged it's tail with each tic!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I know I wish my kitchen looked like this (I'm sure I'd be a better cook if it did...). I don't think we could have picked a more perfect place for a cosey (sober) girls night. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Now, although I wouldn't particularly recommend the food (although please bear in mind that perhaps I am a little fussy at the moment), it was a lovely girly hang out. We ended up staying for a good few hours chatting men, babies and life, over giant pieces of red velvet and fresh berry cakes. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">I'd definitely say it's worth nipping in for a coffee & slice of home made cake, or a glass of wine. </span><br />

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">I've gained another 6 pounds since the last time I got weighed, wow! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">So I'm on track, I've gained just over a stone so far. It sounds like so much, I feel so big. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Nothing new, although we have got a few bits for the little one this week, I'll do an updated haul soon :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I forgot to mention </span><a href="http://www.littleblackdress.co.uk/boutique/rock-a-bye-rosie-maternity-leah-dress-in-cream/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">the lace dress</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> I'm wearing in my video (which was very kindly gifted to me) is from </span><a href="http://www.littleblackdress.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Little Black Dress</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> maternity section. The great thing about it is that it's designed to be maternity as well as pre and post baby, so basically it's for everyone. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">It's honestly the <i>most comfortable</i> maternity item I own and I'm going to dedicate a whole post to it soon, now I have a visible bump to show. Thanks little Black Dress :)</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Not yet, I'm definitely pushing it now, aren't I?! My Mama Mio Tummy rub butter ran out :( So I'm now using the </span><a href="http://nspa.co.uk/products/nourishing-stretch-mark-oil/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Nspa Oil</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> instead. I really like the smell of it. I'm now using it on my thighs and bum too (glamourous, eh?) as they continue to get bigger.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm dreading stretch marks. I know they are pretty much inevitable, and perhaps I wont mind what my tummy looks like after, as I will know it grew my baby.</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">I'm still waking up in pain cos of my legs/ thighs feeling numb, and now back ache too :/ </span><br />

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Definitely getting our little cot and a few more practical items, like a bottle warmer. This definitely makes everything feel much more real, and the time seem like it's gone SO fast!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span><span style="color: #999999;">Oh also, one evening, I'm not sure what Jeffy was up to in there but the top of my tummy went flat and my now outy returned to its former inny state for about 10 minutes, it was so funny! </span><br />

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Feeling sad and hormonal the morning of week 24 and being scared that all my hormones and feelings from earlier in the pregnancy were rearing their ugly little heads. But luckily I felt better by lunchtime, I guess I would describe it as feeling more gloomy than anything else!</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">The beginning of the week started off lazy for my little boy, he had a very active couple of days at the end of week 23, so I think he had just worn his little self out. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">The movements now seem to be more dramatic, lots of big rolls and things being dragged across my tummy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Every so often I'll see a big hard round patch sticking out, I think it might be his little head, but of course I really have no clue so I can't be sure.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Period pains, I'm not sure if these are to do with ligament stretching or if they might be the beginnings of the famous Braxton Hicks (although I'm pretty sure I would know about those!).</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Back ache has finally appeared and is no fun. I'm going to join a new yoga class next weekend though so hopefully that will help. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Oh, I've also had a few leg cramps too, ouchee. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">It's actually a little <i>sad</i> how much I enjoy my new little make-up bag. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Mint, floral, and <b>super</b> organised, tell me what's not to love, ladies?!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">After spying it over on </span><a href="http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Vivianna Does Make-up</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> a few weeks back, and feeling utterly ashamed of my somewhat revolting old excuse for a make-up bag, I decided to hunt this beautiful </span><a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Categories/Shop-Make-up-colour/Make-up-bags/Floral-make-up-bag_277-3002836-APIBOM/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Paul & Joe make-up bag</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> down while we were in the beauty hall at Selfridges. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Somehow, a shopping trip intended for baby hat purchasing ended up in the beauty hall... don't judge me!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Although finding the Paul & Joe counter proved to be a somewhat stressful experience on a packed Saturday afternoon, let me tell you it was well worth it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">You know when you're a kid, and at the beginning of each term at school you get all excited about getting a new pencil case and filling it up with new stationary? (Someone please tell me I'm not the only one?!) Well, this is like the 'grown-up' version of that feeling, Vivianna definitely got it right when she described this as the 'filofax' of make-up bags. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I've been looking for a new make-up bag for SO long now, and I'm just the pickiest lady in the world so have been putting up with my old one until I found the perfect replacement. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I love this SO much I actually cleaned up all my make-up and brushes before putting them all in... haha</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">The best thing about this gorgeous little bag, apart from it's pretty-ness is the organisation. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">It has two removable pouches inside, one of which is see-through for quick access to those items you use most. I love the little pockets at the back for your brushes so they don't get damaged, a super important feature in my eyes, and rare to find in a make up bag. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">I can't believe I've managed to blab on for so long about this...</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Have you ever shopped in </span><a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Brand-rooms/Brands/PAUL-JOE/?brandname=PAUL+%26+JOE&departmentId=358751" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Paul and Joe</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">? What's your make-up bag of choice? </span><br />
<br />

this</span><span style="color: #ea9999;"> <a href="http://www.clarins.co.uk/Beauty-Flash-Balm/C010405004,en_GB,pd.html" target="_blank">'Beauty Flash Balm' by Clarins</a></span><span style="color: #999999;">. To be honest, I wasn't totally sure what it actually
was... apparently it has been Clarins best selling 'radiance booster' for years
now, and is supposed to help you achieve 'a more beautiful appearance in a
flash'.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
You can use it as a primer or a facemask, which initially seemed a little odd
to me, but let's just go with it?!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"> Anyway I've been using it as a primer. I'm
not normally one to bother too much with a primer on myself (I know, bad beauty
blogger & make up artist!) but you guys all know I'm very into products
with a gentle comforting smell, and this is the real selling point for me with
this one. It smells <b><u>beautiful</u></b>. For some reason it reminds me of
being on the beach with my mum when I was little, and I love how after I apply
it, I can still smell it on my own face for a couple of hours afterwards. I
sound like such a freak...</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br />
Okay, so you have to apply a thin layer and don't rub it in, followed immediately
by your normal make-up routine. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">As you can see from the photo, this is ever so
slightly tinted, but not enough to show up. It has this gorgeous lightweight
texture that sinks into the skin instantly, it's almost like you can feel you
skin drinking up the goodness. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">As a make-up base, it leaves my skin with very
satin finish and it definitely does do a good job of keeping my make up in
place all day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I've found this <i>so</i> good for perking up my
dull skin, and has definitely been great to use whilst being preggo and trying
to fake the 'glow'. It manages to get that delicate balance just right, keeping
oily shine at bay, whilst still letting me achieve that dewy glow most of us strive
for with our skin these days. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Over all, a winner for me and a welcome addition
to my routine every morning.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Have you ever tried Beauty Flash Balm? What are
your favorite primers?</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Stefan very kindly bought me another 2 pairs of maternity jeans from Topshop, as I've been living in my black ones and I tend to wear jeans throughout most of the winter too.

<span style="color: #999999;">Sleep hasn't been great. I'm getting some hip pain this week and waking up early in the morning having to wedge a sizeable cushion in between my legs to help re-align my spine. I've also been getting pains in my lower spine that makes sleep uncomfortable. Also as I'm sleeping with 3 variously placed cushions, it's kind of a pain when I roll over I have to move them all!</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118);">
<span style="color: #999999;">The worst moment this week by FAR has definitely got to be freaking out because he wasn't moving like normal. Ever since he started moving he's been such an active baby and then on Thursday and Friday last week he just went quiet. When I did get kicked it was very faint. I panicked and went to hospital, the midwife took about 15 minutes to find his heartbeat. It was honestly the most terrifying 15 minutes of my life, I was so scared. She eventually found out, way down low near my pubic bone, and said that he must be curled up tight down there which is why I haven't been able to feel much. You can imagine my relief! </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">On Sunday he seemed to have moved back up to where he was lying before and was much more active like usual. I did NOT enjoy his quiet time and felt so much better when he moved back to his normal spot. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Nothing for a couple of days and then back to normal by Sunday, fewf. I've had some really big movements again the past couple of days which I've been loving. Movement has been more like big rolls and rippling feelings with a few big punches thrown in there too!</span></div>

If I'm honest I think the full price tag of £40 is a little too much to pay for a self tan, but I found mine on </span><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xen-Tan-Dark-Lotion-Absolute-LUXE/dp/B003EHOLAQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1379358794&sr=8-4&keywords=xen+tan" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Amazon at a much friendlier price of £25</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">I've been using this about twice a week for just over a month now, so I think that's a good amount of testing time. As you can see this tube has been well loved, so it's about time I shared my thoughts with you. </span></div>

<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">I'll start with the positives... </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Firstly, my favourite thing about this tan has got to be the colour. I've had so many compliments on it and really prefer the colour of this tan to any other I've tried, including my beloved St Tropez mousse. That's really saying something too!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">It's the closest I've ever found to the colour that I would actually get if I had a real tan from sunbathing. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Next, the smell. I know that smell isn't normally a positive thing when reviewing a self tanning product, most of them are really strong and offensive! But I feel like Xen tan is an exception, they've managed to mask the 'tanning smell' with a nice gentle vanilla scent. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Obviously it does still have a hint of tan smell, but mostly it's rather pleasant. This is a huge plus for me, I apply my tan at night before I go to bed and it's do much nicer going to sleep on a gentler smell (and I'm sure hubby would agree too!). </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">Although initially I wasn't crazy about the cream form (more on that later) it did make my skin feel moisturised afterwards, which I don't think is something I've ever got from a tan before, I usually like to moisturise first. With Xen tan I don't feel the need to do so, (with the exception of elbows and knees). I actually like putting this on my face as it has a nice texture. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">The staying power is very good, I tan once or sometimes twice a week. But, bear in mind that I also shower every single night so that affects the staying power. I'm sure if this wasn't the case, I need only apply it the once! </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Okay, now for the things I'm not so keen on...</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">The formula of this tan is cream. Now, I've never ever used a cream tan before. I've always been a mousse or spray lady. So, the first couple of times I used this, I found the application a little tricky. I used a mitt, just for the practical reason that I wanted to avoid stained hands. Although I'm 100% positive that it would look better if I could apply it with my hands, very annoying. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Anyway, on application it gives a little instant colour but not a huge amount, so it can be quite tricky to see which areas you've covered. The first time I applied, I was NOT good at this. I woke up so patchy the next day that I wouldn't have normally given this tan another try if I hadn't liked the colour so much. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">As you get used to it though, it becomes easier to apply and eventually you find the knack. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I also found as I neared the end of the tube that the packaging hindered my tanning. I am aware this sounds ridiculous, but knowing you have product in there that you can't get too is so frustrating! This really would work better if it was in a pump bottle, and I think that's the case for all self-tans. It's just easier and less messy. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">The last thing I didn't like about this tan is that it's tough to exfoliate off, in order to get the next application looking even. You can get there, but it's more effort than it should be! </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">So all in all, despite the bad points, I ended up really liking this tan. I wouldn't pay the full price for it, but as long as I can find it discounted it will be my tan of choice this winter. Gotta keep a bit of colour on us haven't we ladies? </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">
<span style="color: #999999;">What are your thoughts on Xen Tan? Whats your current tan of choice? </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">The end of week 22, eeep! Time certainly seems to be flying by. I'm hoping it will carry on because I just can't wait for cuddles with this little chap. </span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">We all know by now that I never weigh myself... last time I got checked though it was 8.9lbs up.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">My bra size has gone up a whole cup size again too... eeep. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Measurements...</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">This week, bras (again!). My boobs hurt so much one morning when I was at work, I had to de-bra myself (I know, kind of gross at work), and nip out on my lunch break to buy 2 rather depressing looking non-wired t-shirt bras from M&S. The joys of being pregnant haha. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Thank you so much to all of you who have since tweeted and messaged me about slightly more attractive maternity and nursing bras, I think I need a whole shopping trip to tackle this! </span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Best moment this week?</b></span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">My blogging friend Lucy (</span><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?blog=7469761&group=0&frame_type=b&link=aHR0cDovL2x1Y2llYW5kdGhlYnVtcC5ibG9nc3BvdC5jby51ay8&frame=1&click=0&user=0" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">her preggo blog</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> is one of my favs by the way!) recommended a programme programme called </span><span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b039tzk8/The_Midwives_Series_2_A_Natural_Choice/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">The Midwives</span></a> </span><span style="color: #999999;">which I absolutely loved watching and found really interesting. Stefan even watched the end half of it voluntarily! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Oh also, we went to our friends house for dinner on Saturday night, and she made the most incredible chocolate pie. You guys know how much I adore chocolate at the moment, I could have actually cried with happiness when she told me! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Worst moment this week? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I haven't really had one this week to be honest, yipee!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Miss anything? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Nothing this week really.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Movement?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Heaps of movement! I certainly have one extremely active little fella in there, I feel movement throughout most of the day now. There are times when he's quieter or less aggressive with his kicking, but generally lot's of activity from him, which I absolutely love so far. The kicks aren't really hurting yet, sometimes they make me jump though!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Movement has also changed, it's not just kicks and punches anymore, I get this weird rippling feeling which I <i>think</i> is him rolling over. You can see this from the outside of my tummy too, it's very strange but wonderful :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Food cravings? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm trying to eat healthier but honestly I still want to stuff my face with chocolate. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Not really a craving as such, but I am particularly enjoying veggie curry at the moment without the rice, yum! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Anything making you feel sick or queezy? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">nope :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Gender? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I have a little chap in there :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Symptoms? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I've had bad back ache on a few occasions this week, which isn't the best. It's at it's worst in the evening and sometimes I just can't face the little things like emptying the dishwasher etc. i suppose sitting at a desk all day at work doesn't help very much but there's not a lot a can do about that really. I'd KILL for a preggo massage, but they are just SO expensive!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span><span style="color: #999999;">Ridiculously sore boobies, so much so that i have to cover them up when I shower because the water hitting them actually hurts!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span><span style="color: #999999;">I've also felt pretty tired, nothing on the first trimester of course but I had an afternoon nap both days last weekend.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span><span style="color: #999999;">Growing pains in my tummy, sometimes they feel like sharp stabbing pains and other times like period pains . </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Belly button in or out? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Out! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Looking forward to? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">This sounds silly but a couple of the pregnant ladies who's blogs I follow and who I sometimes chat to, are due pretty soon, and I'm so excited for them to have their little ones and hear all about it! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>How far along? </b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">The end end of week 21, aaaah! I feel like this weeks update isn't overly interesting as I've had a really good week preggo wise, so sorry in advance. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Total weight gain? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">I haven't weighed myself since last week, I definitely look bigger now though, bum and thighs are taking the hit. Which I'm not massively happy about I'll admit, but I know it's just to support the tummy weight I'm gaining.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Maternity clothes? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">Nothing new this week but I need new bras, again!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Stretch marks?</b></span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">None yet. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Sleep? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">Sleeps been rubbish this week, I constantly need to pee in the night, and then the little one seems to think it's fun to kick me while I'm trying to fall back to sleep...</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Best moment this week?</b></span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">I've been in such a great mood (minus one half of a day) this week, it feels so good to finally enjoy being pregnant and feel like myself again. Doing a spot of baby shopping was probably my highlight. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Worst moment this week? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">I had my first counselling sesh this week (finally), and although I've felt pretty good since finding out we were expecting a boy, I woke up on that day feeling really down again. I guess it was good timing almost, but I was just so scared that the horrible feeling was coming back and that I'd only just started genuinely enjoying it. Luckily it passed after the first half of the day, fewf. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Miss anything? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">I love having my little bump now, but I do kind of miss being able to fit into any of my clothes, it's so hard to dress these days! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Movement?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">Crazy amount of movement </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Food cravings? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">I still just want to stuff my face with chocolate. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Anything making you feel sick or queezy? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">Nope, finally! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Gender? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">A little boy, for those of you asking, we have 2 names we like and are going to see what he looks like when he is born, until then, it's going to be a little secret :) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Symptoms? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">Backache, definitely worse in the evenings. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>Very</i> sore boobies. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Belly button in or out? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666;">Definitely an outy now!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Looking forward to? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Ordering our pushchair, I can't believe we are over halfway now, it's going so fast! </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span><span style="color: #666666;">Oh, I'm also totally addicted to making baby boards on Pinterest now, (late bloomer as always) </span><a href="http://pinterest.com/hannahmaggs/boards/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">come and say hi :) </span></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #666666;">hey guys, it's FRIDAAAAAY!! Yeah!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I don't know about you but I am a little excited about the weekend. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I'll try and go back to doing some photo diaries now I'm feeling perkier, I know </span><span style="color: #666666;">I'm a little bit hopeless at keeping up with my blog at the moment, and some of you are missing my older style beauty posts. </span><span style="color: #666666;">I guess preggo/baby themed posts are great for those who re interested, but I know a lot of you initially</span><span style="color: #666666;"> followed me for beauty so I'll try and get those back on here too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Anyway here is my first ever gender based clothing haul. Seriously, who knew shopping for teeny tiny clothes was so much fun?! It's totally one of my favourite parts of being pregnant so far. let me know if you like the clothes, and if you know anywhere else I might like to shop for the little squirt. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Oh, if you missed my week 20 video update on my youtube channel, you can watch it</span> <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdi1mH_BLy4&feature=c4-overview&list=UU2Ex6mz9I0DS92uVoW6pfSg" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">here</span></a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I hope you all have a great weekend, and if you've got a pregnancy/mummy blog, please do leave me the link!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>How far along? </b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">20 weeks 6 days </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Total weight gain? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">8.9lbs!! Wow!! My midwife said it's completely normal so we are on track, yay! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Bump is now 31.5 inches, even in the morning! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Maternity clothes? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Nothing new yet, I don't want to buy loads of maternity clothes as I go off things so easily so I doubt ill re-use anything for my next pregnancy.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I did get sent a lovely </span><a href="http://www.littleblackdress.co.uk/boutique/rock-a-bye-rosie-maternity-leah-dress-in-cream/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">lace dress from 'littleblackdress.co.uk'</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">, it's still a little big for bump though! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Stretch marks?</b></span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Nothing yet, fewf! I finished my Nspa bump butter though, sad times. I'm now using the famous Mama Mio tummy rub and really loving that too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Sleep? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Sleep is the same really, my special pillows are a god send, I don't know how I'd get comfy without them! I wake up quite a lot to roll over because my legs and hips go numb, and also to pee a lot, obviously haha the little one has started waking up and fidgeting when I get up now! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Best moment this week?</b></span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Definitely finding out the sex, I've been waiting for weeks!! I loved how I was right the whole time, I was so adamant we were having a little boy! If you haven't seen out gender reveal video you can watch it </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVCf69D1A3k" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">here</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">. I'm so glad we filmed that day, we'll all be able to look back on it :) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Also my best buddy Laura felt our little boy kicking for the first time, that was really cool.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Worst moment this week? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">This week has been so good I don't really have a worst moment believe it or not, I've loved being preggo this week! If I had to pick, I suppose it would be on Saturday I was particularly tired, I cried after a 10 hour sleep because I was still tired and stayed in bed until 1 in the afternoon! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Miss anything? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I am starting to miss my figure a bit now, nothing in my wardrobe fits me or looks right. My thighs and bum are definitely taking the hit with my weight gain! I've always been very small so I'll admit it's hard to get used to my new 'mummy body' </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Movement?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">This little guy is super active! When we went for our gender scan he was playing with the cord, and had his little hand pressed up behind my belly button. He sleeps in the morning, moves around for a lot of the day, and seems to be particularly active around 8-9 at night. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Food cravings? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Anything making you feel sick or queezy? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">No nothing really, I still don't love the smell of fish or chicken cooking, but that's about it, thank god. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Gender? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">A little boy. I'm having so much fun getting all his little outfits together :) I can't wait to show you all.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">My symptoms this week have really died down, fewf! As I said I've been tired, but otherwise it's been a great week. Emotions in tact and everything. Oh, I do have the little line down my tummy now too. </span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Belly button in or out? </b></span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Yesterday, I decided to treat myself for getting through the first 5 months of preggo-ness, and have a private sober-celebration after finding out if baby Michalak is a he or she. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I visited the </span><a href="http://www.cowshedonline.com/spa_shoreditch_house.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Cowshed Spa</span></a><span style="color: #999999;"> for the first time, and the whole experience was perfection. You're not supposed to take photos, but in true beauty blogger style I snuck a couple for you... shhh!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Firstly I must say, I absolutely <i>loved</i> the super stylish decor in there. Jars of lavender & little wooden boxes of moss sit on the worktops to display Cowsheds' latest offerings, crisp white towels are rolled up perfectly next to vintage TV sets with headphones that you can use if you fancy watching a bit of TV while you have your treatment done. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">You sit in a big squishy white leather armchairs & have a v shaped pillow propped on your lap, so you don't need to move at all. Honestly I was so comfortable could have fallen asleep in there!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">To top it all off the Cowshed Candles make the whole spa smell simply divine. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">I had a</span><a href="http://www.cowshedonline.com/spatreatments.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;"> 'speedy manicure' </span></a><span style="color: #999999;">(30 minutes) and opted for a French manicure style (not to everyones taste I know). A lovely lady named Katie did my nails, and man, she did a perfect job! 30 minutes for a frenchie is pretty impressive, don't you think ladies?! If anyone is interested the colours I chose were both Essie, 'marshmallow' for the off-white and 'mademoiselle' for the natural pink. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Out of the handful of Cowshed products she used on me, I particularly like their hand cream and cuticle oil.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I've definitely got my eye on a few of the spa treatments, they even do special selection of treatments for preggos like me, 'Udderly Gorgeous Maternity Treatments'. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">I also couldn't help but notice they also have a range for the little one when he/she arrives too. I melted when I saw the little cow towel and bottom balm, I'm pretty sure our little one is going to have to have those. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">The whole Spa experience was perfect, from the service to the outcome, a lovely quiet and relaxing atmosphere with tasteful music. I definitely want to book in another treatment soon for another treat :)</span></div>
