Your baby now weighs almost 430g, measures about 28cm long from crown to heel and is about the size of an Aubergine. Your baby's legs aren't curled up so tightly to her tummy now.

For the past two months I've felt like I've really been stuck in an enormous rut, clothing and style wise. I've not ventured too far from my home and getting changed out of my pyjamas has felt like an awful lot of fuss. Obviously, I've not felt particularly great so that's been a huge factor in my new lethargic attempt at 'fashion', which...

Working full-time whilst growing a tiny baby inside you is pretty hard stuff, and I don't seem to be having the most straightforward of pregnancies either. So far I've been hospitalised twice, experienced debilitating pelvic cramps, severe migraines, developed a heart murmur (for which I'm currently waiting for an echocardiogram and a 24hour...

So, I've not really been updating this blog as much as I had previously hoped I would. A full time job with nearly 3 hours of commuting each day had left me with what felt like only a tiny window in which to; spend time with the boyfriend, see family, have a social life and look after myself.

We'd now reached the final leg of our European journey. Passing through Zagreb, Croatia's capital city and travelling down to Split and it's surrounding islands.
