The toe nail saga

Tried to give my toe nails some tlc today but discovered that from here on in, keeping them in shape is going to be a more difficult task then I ever imagined!   Other than opting for a pedicure every few weeks, I'm hoping there are some cunning ways around clipping (and painting) to perfection with a growing bump...

From frump to fabulous

It's official.  I am feeling seriously frumpy! 

But how can you go from frump to fabulous during pregnancy?  All yummy mummies out there please post your suggestions and I shall compile in a top 10 list.

All that I can think of at the mo is to invest in a good bra, a sensible set of heels, a good hair cut and flawless make up (although I'm guessing the latter is a little ambitious, especially if you already have children.)

Hope to hear from you soon...

A bit about me

Hi everyone

After a long and highly emotional journey of trying to become pregnant, I'm now ready to share the highs and lows of expecting twins (I'm hoping there are more highs!)

After two rounds of IVF using donor eggs, I'm currently five months pregnant and thrilled to bits.  Long gone is the sickness and sadly my beloved heels and it's hello to slippers, baggy clothes and easy-to-put on shoes, hmm, sexy! 

I've welcomed in Christmas with orange juice, lemonade and water (yawn) and I'm once again eating spicy food (have learned to tolerate the heart burn), so I'm now waiting for the next stage in pregnancy; keeping energy levels up, learning how to put on my essential winter boots gracefully and sleeping as soundly as my dearest husband is at the moment.

Today (27 December) I have officially turned into my Mother and have bought Christmas wrapping paper (yes, I know it's hugely sad) and birthday cards for my family for next year!  In my defence, it's the new...organised me, as I doubt that I'll have neither the energy or enthusiasm next year.
