So I’m trying to turn Wednesday into a kind of show and tell picture day, showcasing some of my favourite pics (taken by me).
These are this week’s pics, a continuation of the stuff I did with Kirsten (my cousin, Che-lynn’s baby) – I’ve included a mom&me spread too.
So the other day a friend commented on the fact that my dressing style has not been up to “my usual standard” recently. In other words I’m looking like a frumpy mess these days. Not fun to hear but it made me realise that I really needed to up my game, despite feeling and looking like I have been over inflated (I’m starting to waddle already) – besides at 23 weeks Im only getting bigger from here. I have already picked up 10kgs people!!! and at 5.1 ft IT SHOWS, haha
Anywho the point was, Rob visited for the weekend and I dragged him along for a 3 hour ordeal (I say ordeal because buying clothes is not as much fun when you are restricted to mu mu’s and tights) and I ended up coming home with like 4 items (well it’s a start) and it’s made me confident (delusional maybe) enough to do outfit posts again, here is this week’s outfit:
Worn on Sunday
Wearing:
Black tunic (Edgars’ due date range)
Mustard tights (Mr Price)
Black lace-up pumps (Mr Price)
Sunglasses (YDE)
Necklace (Fashion week free bee)

OMW!!!! When did I get this big, seriously Im currently walking into things and I’m convinced it is because half the body parts were not that size last time I checked also It has come to my attention that I’m mad as a hatter, I have always been an emotional sort but I swear I’m mentally loosing it, it doesn’t help that I’m suddenly humongous, I went maternity wear shopping and it was an ordeal!!!! worse than buying a bikini and you are PMSing!!!! but I got a few things and will be putting up some maternity outfit posts in the near future… BABY ZONE SAYS: |
Twenty-three weeks marks an important point for your unborn baby. Your baby-to-be is far enough along in his development that he could have a chance at survival outside the womb.
According to the March of Dimes, of all babies born at 23 weeks, 25 to 35 percent survive. This number goes up considerably when you add just a couple weeks: roughly 50 to 70 percent of all babies born at 24 to 25 weeks survive. And 90 percent of all babies born at 26 to 27 weeks survive.
Soooo I like fashion and I like kids (in a non Michael Jackson way-yes it’s wrong to make fun of the dead) so it’s to be expected that the two loves would cross at some point.
Growing up I always expected I’d have a little girl to dress up in little dresses, with lavish bows in her hair and a rediculous amount of ballet pumps, but life seems to be going in a completely different direction with all signs predicting IT’S A BOY!
My family knows that growing up the only reason I had dolls was so I could dress them up (non of that tea party and putting to bed nonsense, more like dress up and stand up) So they seem ever so slightly concerned that I have plans of turning Logan into a mini Diva. I don’t have any such plans don’t worry!
I do have plans of getting him cute outfits though, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t!
But nothing outrageous, I’m not one of those moms on Toddlers and Tiaras who try to turn their 3-year-olds into fabulous little adults with fake tans, fake hair, fake teeth, NO SIR
In any case I will prob end up with a son who is like my husband – who would rather not brush his hair or get dressed up without being bribed.
But for now I just like clothes and the pregnancy means every second thort is baby baby baby, That being said. here are some toddler boy’s outfit ideas from around the interweb.

I have not blogged much lately, things have just been crazy in Elle land; work, renovation, a baby that refuses to lay where it’s physically acceptable, exhaustion, plain laziness . . . which hasn’t left me with much time with my laptop.
I did somehow manage to take a few pics recently and have decided to share my faves. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words: here is this week’s pic, my brother with my guitar:
I woke up sad, that’s never a good thing, like i have no control over my emotions, I’d ball my eyes out at a tyre ad 🙁 ahhhh the swollen everything and nausia was obviously not enough, well enough feeling sorry for myself atleast the little one is doing great
Your baby’s brain is growing daily. Her senses are also starting develop. She can hear the sound of your heart along with your breathing. As she wiggles her fingers, she may touch her face or even suck her thumb. Her lungs are becoming more mature, and she even goes through the motions of breathing. She can also swallow, although she won’t have her first real meal until delivery day.
