Cute for a heffer

At the start of this pregnancy I though I would be the cutest pregnant dresser ever I had so many ideas or what I was gonna wear and how cute I would look but somewhere along the way I mixed up my words and cute....became...comfy!
Now I don't care what I look like its all about how comfy I feel, especially with the wonderful weather we are having here in Denver, Colorado - the idea now is - how comfy can I get and not show sweat marks!!!
Also have you seen some of the prices of maternity stuff? luckily my friend gave 3 boxes of maternity stuff which I have quickly out grown most - so the occasional cuteness is due to her x

Today I'm having a BAD day I have just looked in the mirror and my lovely legs, have been replaced by tree truck 'nan' legs with hugely swollen trotters sticking out from rather unflattering shorts (which my friend plans to burn when I'm no longer pregnant as she hates them so much - I'm having to agree with her lately!) and my t-shirt feels a tad too small as my fat arms bulge out from it, the boobs are contained but again make the t-shirt tight the only thing thats makes me smile is my nice fat round belly with baby kicking and moving around in it.
Today I'm not hitting either cute or comfy - its time to have this baby!!!

Do you hear that baby g, were ready hurry up!

R x  mmm this post has a grey feel!

about me....

It's strange but this...shall we say 'journey' that I'm on, oh that's so American, well what I'm going through at the moment has actually made me realise a lot of things about myself that I perhaps didn't know or weren't that obvious to me before....

• I love colour - let me repeat that I LOVE COLOUR and not soft pastels - bright fun in your face colour, esp reds, yellows.
• I love anything with stripes on it thin thick, they make me happy. stripes, stripes the more the merrier.
• I use to love black clothes - now I can barely where black, maybe its the sun out her or the fact its summer but I really struggle with black now (My friend Alison always use to say that she could tell if I was in a  good place by what I was wearing fun colours = good mood/ black = unhappy) so obviously I'm happy. Yeah! 

• I'm a worrier, oh yeah I thought Steve was the worrier in our relationship, but apparently I'm crack pot! 

• I love a little research the problem is now I have too much info and don't know what to do with it all! I think I could now be a researcher for a living - I'm THAT good!

• I HATE stuffed toys, really really hate stuffed toys! OH DEAR ITS A PROBLEM! 

• I'm a great project manager, seriously if this was my job I would rock it! I mean I am rocking it! Steve says its like a military operation! Well its is shopping what did he think I'd be like! 

• I don't need anymore clothes and I don't want to shop for me! Well bar the odd bra (which seems to be weekly at the moment as the girls are on a serious take over the world bid! ) my friend gave me 3 boxes of maternity clothes yippee, means I don't have to shop for a very long time, and I don't really want to either, too busy buying for baby! oh and old navy maternity jeans are the best! 

• I'm become an eco/ organic warrior! we recycle, we have an organic veggie box delivered, and I'm buying a lot my nursery stuff organic/ eco, I've always been a pareben free cosmetic girl but its become extreme - nothing goes into this body that's bad oh except frazzles and I have limited supplies of those as you can't get them in the US, oh and ice cream!

• Oh and I may be a breastfeeding warrior too though I'll wait to decide and see when I've tried it! I use to hate the thought of it, it freaked me out, now I'm all for it? am I changing? am I turning hippy??? 

• I need to go on can't cook wont cook - I seriously have lost my mojo on this one, poor Steve comes home from work and says whats for dinner and I say (really enthusiastically) well I thought we could have a BBQ - in other words your cooking!!! oh I need to have a word with myself I mean its not like I don't have all day to do it! poor poor Steve x

•  I am already a BM - Steves words ( boring Mummy) awhhhh - must try harder! who cares!

Well thats it for home truths
