Pregnancy | Series | My favourite… Pregnancy books
Welcome to the “MY FAVOURITE” series. This series may become a weekly thing, monthly or I may just post sporadically as I share some of my favourite’s during this pregnancy. For the first part of this series I thought I’d focus on preparing for this baby. Not necessarily body wise but more knowledge is power wise. When it comes to pregnancy books there are a lot out there, you can easily be overwhelmed when entering a bookstore or going online by what is available. Now considering that this is my 3rd pregnancy I can assure you that I’ve read quite a few books over the last 10 years of this…

THE BUMP I’m yet to post another bump picture, well its actually a full blown pregnancy tummy – I feel like before I even saw a positive pregnancy test result my body knew.

How the third pregnancy is kicking my ass – but I’m still LOVING it
Hello Baby Yeah you read right, baby number 3 is set to arrive on 5 November 2018 (still holding thumbs our Doc keeps to this date and does not decide to do our caesarian birth at 39 weeks because then hello October baby). While we are very excited I must admit this pregnancy took me by surprise – actually it was more like shock and fear! If you’ve read my blog for a while you’ll know that falling pregnant with Josh wasn’t as easy as we thought. After a year of trying and failing I was diagnosed with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We had countless tests, scans, bloods being drawn…
