The sun seems to have gone for now..
As much as warm weather doe's make me feel like a wilting flower it was really nice to have some nice weather in Sheffield after so many days being all gloomy. Today it is all back to grey sky's. I think next time there is a bout of sunny days I will do a bit more photography to capture just how nice it doe's make everything look here. Today I am of out with Clark some of our friends to a chairty event one of our friends has put on for enabled,a chairty that trys to give ill childern their wishes. It is inside I think at a community hall so the bad weather hopeufly won't effect the turn out. I think I will try n get some photos n be snap happy today so I can show the day of online.
An update on yesterdays adventures: Aquanatal class with charlotte was so much fun. The exercise really helped my achey body feel much better aswell :). After we went to eat..I couldv'e easily have skipped desert though as felt so odd n full after. We then popped to mothercare after as well we are to broody pregnant ladies who need things n like to look at cute baby things ;p! I learnt I had to think about this whole pram buying a bit more than what looked nice n that what I thought was ok to take on the bus may actually be to big...I had a really nice day with charlotte it is really nice to be able to talk all this baby talk to someone who it is relavant to!
After I went to my friends flat n CLark came round to. We had a nice time and my friend Natalie,who we were visiting want's to throw me a baby shower! She has been super amazing and so excited for us about our baby n has even bought us things for them like a keepsake box n baby name book. I feel really lucky to have such good friends :).
Anywho I really should get ready to go out now. Bye x

I sure am busy this week!
Normally I don't have to much to do and spend alot of time bored at home watching tv..this week I have spent very little time doing that!
On Monday as I posted me n Clark went to a local park called Weston park n wandered around its museum,and then went to eat a local pub called The harley.
On Tuesday I visited my family for a few hours and then went to meet Clark and our mates at a pub n then we went to another pub to meet some more of our mates. It was nice to see everyone but it doe's feel odd bein the sober n getting tired one.
On Wednesday I had a dentist appointment at a dentist school called Charles clifford,the students learn do their 2 years of training and studying and then get hands on experience by taking on paiteints n doing the work for free. They are all supovised so it is completly fine really. I like going there though as I see it as helping the students learn more, I am the first paiteint of my trainee dentist and she is lovely. I have to go back next friday to have some work done I think I need a few fillings and something done to remove hardcore plaque :( I haven't been to awesome with looking after my teeth over the years to be honest.Over the past two years I have had two teeth takin out,thankfuly they are in places that you can't see very well but I do still feel a bit embarresed as well I am only 22 n feel like I shouldn't have lost my teeth so early!
After the dentist I popped to town to do some errands n then met Clark at the Odeon cinema to take advantage of orange wednesdays. Allthough I have been on orange for a good while now this was a first. We went to see Rango n it was funny. I like doing things like going to the cinema with Clark as it feels like were having little dates as a couple, he agrees n likes it to so hopefuly we will still be able to do things like that once the baby arrives!
Yesterday I had my b12 injection ( I am b12 deficeint) and had some bloods taken again :/ honestly bein pregnant turns you into a pin cushion! I had planned to study for most of the day but randomly felt n was sick so that didn't really help! I did manage to do a few pages n learn a few things though before so it wasn't to bad. I then spent the rest of the day watching tv n napping. I randomly got a craving for those strawberry pencil n laces sweets so asked Clark to bring some home from his trip to town. I love how I can do that :).
Today I erm went to the doctors thinking I had an appointment with the midwife but misread it and it is next friday. I am glad I stayed up though normally I wouldve gone back to bed for a bit longer but today it is simply to warm to and plus I need to meet a mate in an hour and 10 mins! We are going to an aquanatal class together it is our first time so hopefuly it will be nice :). I like having a few pregnant friends I don't think I would be enjoying the experience as much without them as if I have a concern or anything I can talk to one of them about it. My other pregnant friend who is 3 months ahead of me is really happy that I am pregnant at the same time as her n I think she likes havin someone who understands what she is going through as well. As much as we can explain to others how weird we feel n stuff only another pregnant lady or one that has had childern herself will understand what on earth we are going on about lol! I'm also of to see another friend when she had finished work to go to her's n have another go at crocheting with her. I am very keen to get good at it so I can make the baby arugumi style toys.
Tomorrow me n Clark are going to a fundraiser event our friend has put on for local disabilty chairties which sounds like fun...To be honest I read that there was cake n was up for going lol! I'm not sure what we will do after maybe all hang out somewhere hopefuly.
And fingers crossed Sunday will be a quite one n I will feel well enough to study the last 9 pages of the chapter I need to finish this week!!
SO yes this week has and will be very busy. But I am enjoying it so very much!

Things I do n don't like about bein pregnant..
Things I don't like are :
1) stretchmarks are allready happening..n I don’t like rubbing in lotions..I actually have to get my boyfriend to do it for me so it get’s done.
2) The crappy tshirt bras I have to wear as underwire ones aren’t any good for when ya pregnant.
3) Being out n about n feeling really dizzy and weird..am gettin more used to that though.
4) Needing to wee in the night..n then not bein able to sleep for a while after.
5) The anixty of giving birth in about 22 weeks or less..
6) Allready feeling like I am not doing good enough…trust me parents feel like they never do good enough I have learnt this.
7) Not being allowed to eat dippy eggs really even though if the white part is cooked it should be fine but noo all the pregnancy websites say no to anything but a hard boiled egg :(
8) Not bein able to get repierced even though I’m not to sure about if I want to properlly yet anyway…
Things I do are:
1) My friends seem to like me more now and how I have changed. I got to admit I am more cherpy these days and more calm n less negative :).
2) It has brought me n my boyfriend much closer and we are majorly smitten with each other :)
3) All the cute things we get to buy them and treat them with.
4) How I take much better care of myself now I have to care about what I eat n do.
5) Having a lil cute bump that makes people happy when they touch it :)
6) Bumping said bump into clark n saying hello daddy :)
7) How I seem to care more about things now,there is a downside to that to as things are a bit depressing in the world aren’t they n I feel a bit sad about things sometimes but hopefuly trying to show them the good things in the world n life will also let me n clark experience them hands on to!
8) It has made me stop fuckin around. I now stick to things and am keen to do well with my studyin whereas before I really didn’t care. Now I wanna do well so I can provide for the family maybe someday.
9) But then I have this yearn to be a housewife mummy and look after the baby and clark n clean the house n cook n bake us lovely things..
10) Making them a nest. I love going into their room and how sunny it seems with the yellow walls.
11) Making them things is really nice. I have been knitting them a cardi, a pair of booties, a patchwork blanket that my aunt is helpin me make aswell, and a toy tidy away that is also a curtain to the lil cupboard in their room. I keep thinking of more things to make them to…I’m one crafty mama :)
12) Lookin forward to doing all these lil things like feed ducks with them n clark.
13) And the first time we hold them n see them
14) And all those other amazing firsts that babys do!
15) Teaching them about cool things like geeky games and how to bake cookies
16) Making a lil family is incredible it really is…N to be honest allthough a few things are a lil annoying about being pregnant I have no regrets about it happening n goin ahead with it. I can’t friggin wait to be a mummy <3

My opinion on rango and the 2 for 1 orange deal and the rest of my day.
Today was the first time I took advantage of being on orange n bein able to get the 2 for the price of one cinema ticket deal. So instead of it costing about £14 it only cost £7 which was really good, but then we bought popcorn n drinks n for some reason nachos and dips..that was clarks choice. All that cost £13! I think that next time we go we may be cheeky and sneak in some of our own shop bought popcorn lol! The film rango wasn't what I expected from the advert,it was much better and had me and clark laughing which is always good. It was a nice film about a lizard going to a odd town after something odd happens and he ends up being their hero. It didn't really hit home the positive moto that standing out is a good thing like I thought it would when I saw the ads on the bus n tv but it was still good. Even though we have been together four months now it is really nice when we do things like this it felt like a little date :).
Apart from going to the cinema today I went to the dentist that is actually a dentist school and am a students first paiteint,she says I need a few fillings :/..I also set up a savings account for my coppers I really didn't think that there was £6.04 in my lil change tube n purse! I like the idea of saving all the spare 2's n 1's n 5's I get as change n watching them alll grow into big money. And once our child is older I will put the money into an account for them and their future. Wonder how much it could all add up to within a year! I then went to primark..I keep popping in n buying a few bits. I refuse to buy their ballet pumps though as they just fall apart but I really need some as it is really warm in my trainers now. And that was my day it was pretty nice and warm and fun.

I want to move..
I have lived in Sheffield all my life and to be honest have been wanting to leave for a good few years. But with not much money to help the move or anyone in any other place to know I have just had to stay. Now I am expecting a child I really don't want to stay here and bring them up in a place that I just don't like anymore. Yes there are plenty of nice parks and I know alot of nice people and all of my family lives here...But it's just the crappy schools and how area gangs seem to be becoming more common and more violent. The only nice area that me and clark would love to live in has lovely houses but expensive rents meaning it's just not an option while we rely on houseing benefits to help us pay our rent. Clark is from Harrogate I have never been there,but it could be an option if it needed to be as all his family are there. He only moved to Sheffield two years ago with a friend also from Harrogate. I have no idea why they came here of all places but I am damn pleased they did as I more or less met him thorugh a mutual friend straight away and we knew each other as friends ever since sept 2009. Somtimes I like Sheffield I think well it has nice things and unique areas with nice little shops n lovely parks n most of the people are nice. But I never had to think about it from a parent point of view and it is kind of worrying that I don't think any of the secondry schools here are that good. My brothers and sister went/go to a school that I thought was really good...is it heck! There are constant fights and bullying the teachers sound awful as well and didn't really help one of my brothers with his anger problem or the fact he was actually getting bullied instead they expelled him and sent him to a place where you could finish studying for gcse's if that happened.. I just don't feel to comftable staying here bringing up my child for some reason but maybe the nurserys and schools will change by the time they have to go to them? I gusse I would miss everyone as well and Clark seems keen to settle in one place after a while of travelling around. I just hope I won't be stuck in Sheffield for the rest of my little life. I would love to go and explore other citys and countrys!

Our day in photos
Today as it was sunny me and my boyfriend went to a nearby park called weston park. Here is what we got up to.
On the way to the busstop we bumped into one of the cats that are really friendly to us on our new street,he is soo cute!
When we got to the park we got icecreams from the van parked outside and went to the duck pond..we forgot bread to feed them but it was cute to see them anyway.
Me with my zapp lolly.
The lovely view from a bench we sat on in the park next to the park I just mentioned...
We then went back to the other park lol..They have a museum these were the bikes in the sport section they had. I thought they were really cool,but I can't imagine everyone on those bikes with one huge wheel anymore!
As part of the sport exhibition there was this dance game so me n my boyfriend had a go which was pretty fun. A lady n her lil toddler son joined in to. my boyfriend won.
Thats my awesome lovely boyfriend.by the way his name is clark.. He was watching this thing spin around..
Why the single by the Arctic monkeys is in the museum I dunno but it is part of sheffields history..personally I think bands like pulp n def leppard deserve to be there instead!
The above pics are of things that were part of the coal mine strike I love the loo roll with maggie thatcher on! Damn she was a bitch...
I really like the part of the history exhibition that has all these old toys in. Things like this just don't get made anymore :(
These pics are from the arctic exhibition and the one that has lots of different animals..we kinda had to leave when we got to that part..
After going to the park n the museum we went to a local pub called The harley for an american diner style lunch. I had a beef burger with bacon n onion rings on..it had some kinda spicey sauce on that ruined it n to be honest I didn't really enjoy the beef, the bacon n onion rings n chips were nice though. And then me n clark shared a plate of pancakes with syrup and icecream,n I had a cream soda float. Clark had a few guiness's which made him taste funny when I went to kiss him lol. Unfourtunately they didn't play diner 1950s style music which I think wouldv'e made it really cool instead for a few hours we listerend to music like norah jones that just made me sleepy! We then came home n watched tv n I am watching glee while clark plays vid games. N then it is time for south park..I kinda missed it at the weekend! Anywho we had a really nice day out together :)

What a difference a quick hairdye makes..
So after a while of feeling "not myself" without havin pink hair I realised just how costly it is to keep naturally dark brown hair pink! And what with a baby on the way I thought hmm well I can't really be spending that much just on my hair anymore. So as I liked how I used to look with black hair I decided to go for it and dye it back dark. In my confused state of not knowing weither to choose black after all..which was a good while of me n my also pregnant friend just going hmm well Friend: "ya did look nice with red hair" me: "yeah I gusse but I do have a reddish complextion,black makes me look paler" n then going "but it is a bit hard to get rid of" I choose what I thought was a black anyway. Turns out midnight oasis is like cosmis blue. But I kinda like the dark blue tint it makes it a bit more brighter n not so dull. SO I feel like I have gone through a mini makeover with just my hair now. I have gone from this:
Carnation pink directions hair that made me look quite bright in the cheerful way n cute I gusse..what other people said not me
To this:
Dark n looking a bit more my age I gusse. To be honest I feel much better with darker hair. It complements my both pale but gets red complextion much more and doesn't make such a loud statement so is easy to wear with any style of clothes which is good for me as I like to wear a different style of clothes from day to day.
I know dyeing hair is a quite a basic thing to do but personally it has been something I have been quite emotionally attached to since I was about 14 going on 15. I have changed my hair colour and style so many times though since then I am quite honestly fed up with it all. Now my plan is to just dye it black or maybe even a black blue if it really grows on me and grow it so it goe's past my shoulders and have quite a full fringe so I can play around with styles like these:
It will take a while to grow my hair to be that lon though. At the moment as I freaked out when it started to fall out due to hormornes when I was early on with bein pregnant and I got it cut quite short,it is erm still kinda short but grew about an inch n a half since late January soo hopefuly it will be long n lovely soon enough! Atleast now I won't need to bleach my roots my hair won't be getting as damaged as it was!

The past few days have been weird...
On wednesday I felt a lil odd n faint,but managed to go out shopping with my friend who was visiting sheffield. I hadnt' seen her since january as her n her partner moved to a area outside of manchester as he could have a better paid job there n jen fancied a change to. She is also pregnant and it was really sweet when we both went to touch each others grown bumps! We spent the day chatting n oooin n awwing at cute things for babies n it was just really nice. I was meant to go to my knitting group in the eve but after dying my hair a blacky blue,by accident I mistook midnight oasis to be black :/..n havin a shower I just felt like I wanted to rest n out my feet up instead of trecking on the bus in the cold n gettin back home late.
On thursday my boyfriend was out for the day and I really didn't know what to do with myself as I was feeling not to good. At about 4 I was just sat down waiting for deal or no deal to come on when out of the blue I felt dizzy even though I had been sat down for ages n had recentlly eaten. I looked up my symptoms online to see what could be wrong n once I noticed allthough dizziness is common in pregnancy but to be weary of severe headaches n pains I rang the midwifes at the local hospital as I haven't got a new one at my gp's yet. She said to have paracetamol for my headache n a bath for my pains. So my boyfriend came back bringing paracetamol and a twix n maltesers with him..I thought he was going to stop in but as he thought I was ok n his friend he hadn't seen for abot 2 years had jsut rung him he said he was going to meet him for a bit n then come back n if I needed him he would come home. Obviously a pregnant lady in pain is a scared one..So I did feel a bit bummed out about him going back out. Now I think I was bein a bit ott n that really he knew I was ok n I just needed to calm down. The midwife I had spoke to said that if the pains didn't stop so when they hadn't by 9 and my boyfriend had gotten back we went of in a taxi to a&e at about half 10 as we had to wait for an out of hours doctor to ring n advise us what to do. He was pretty certain I was havin premature contractions...We saw a nurse at a&e and she said to expect a miscarriage but booked us in to have an ermergency scan in the morning. So all night I couldn't sleep as I was scared of losing our baby n kept havin these odd pains.
On friday we went to the hospital for the scan at about 9. The midwife there said that the out of hours gp and the nurse at a&e had been very hasty to presume it was a miscarraige and that she thought it was most likely to be growing pains or just my body adjusting and feeling discomfort. So that was a slight relief to us. A doctor then did a sound scan to check if he could hear the baby's heartbeat and it was very intense waiting to hear it as it is hard to find. But then we did and it was like everything was ok now. My boyfriend made me giggle cause he said it sounded like galloping! He sure knows how to make me laugh at awkward times :). We then came home,and popped into a cafe for something to eat on the way. I had a nice sleep and then we went to see our friends. Me n my friend nat have been trying to learn how to crochet for a while now so when I found a crochetin mag that came with a dvd and a hook n yarn for 50p in a local charity shop I was very happy! We have been trying to learn from books but couldn't really understand it. So watching the dvd was really helpful,even my boyfriend tried to have a go but I showed him how to do it wrong n basically told him how to cast on ready to knit instead! Ah the joys of mushypea pregnancy brain eh! We stayed at our friends quite late which made me a bit mardy as I was quite tired but to be honest it was nice to stay out late in a way. They were all drinking and there I was with my water, I did try to drink normal tea but it made me feel a bit odd :/. I also rediscovered bacon tomatoe n lettuce sandwhiches as one of my friends had bacon n I had been wanting it all day. Two of my friends made them selfs fried egg n quaver crips sandwhiches lol! Apparently they are nice but I think it sounds icky..
Which brings me to today. Today I feel a bit dazed, I am going to watch a episode of glee I missed to try n perk me up soon. Me n my boyfriend are going to a gig to see a few rockabilly bands in a few hours. He really likes and knows these bands but me I don't I do like some rockabilly n pyschobilly bands though so I am looking forward to it actually. I've not really been to a gig to see bands I don't really know before so it will be a new experience for me. Also I know it is ok to go to a gig pregnant as my old art teacher told me about how she was pregnant and went to see the band Pulp in the 90's..Also I will stay clear of any moshing or what not lol!
It is also a sunny day in Sheffield which is rare and nice and me and my boyfriend are so happy and relieved that our baby is ok. I just hope that we won't have to have any more odd a&e experiences!
This has been a very long blog as I haven't blooged since tuesday. Overall the jist is: We have had a very intense n worrying experience and are discovering the true worry that comes with being parents. But that things are going well and we are having more of a social life lately which is really nice.
On thursday my boyfriend was out for the day and I really didn't know what to do with myself as I was feeling not to good. At about 4 I was just sat down waiting for deal or no deal to come on when out of the blue I felt dizzy even though I had been sat down for ages n had recentlly eaten. I looked up my symptoms online to see what could be wrong n once I noticed allthough dizziness is common in pregnancy but to be weary of severe headaches n pains I rang the midwifes at the local hospital as I haven't got a new one at my gp's yet. She said to have paracetamol for my headache n a bath for my pains. So my boyfriend came back bringing paracetamol and a twix n maltesers with him..I thought he was going to stop in but as he thought I was ok n his friend he hadn't seen for abot 2 years had jsut rung him he said he was going to meet him for a bit n then come back n if I needed him he would come home. Obviously a pregnant lady in pain is a scared one..So I did feel a bit bummed out about him going back out. Now I think I was bein a bit ott n that really he knew I was ok n I just needed to calm down. The midwife I had spoke to said that if the pains didn't stop so when they hadn't by 9 and my boyfriend had gotten back we went of in a taxi to a&e at about half 10 as we had to wait for an out of hours doctor to ring n advise us what to do. He was pretty certain I was havin premature contractions...We saw a nurse at a&e and she said to expect a miscarriage but booked us in to have an ermergency scan in the morning. So all night I couldn't sleep as I was scared of losing our baby n kept havin these odd pains.
On friday we went to the hospital for the scan at about 9. The midwife there said that the out of hours gp and the nurse at a&e had been very hasty to presume it was a miscarraige and that she thought it was most likely to be growing pains or just my body adjusting and feeling discomfort. So that was a slight relief to us. A doctor then did a sound scan to check if he could hear the baby's heartbeat and it was very intense waiting to hear it as it is hard to find.

I'm having a personal style crisis...
I have been known to change my hair n style very often in the past few years. From black hair to blonde to red to pink to blue to orangey auburn..And I thought I had decided pink was the one for me. BUT now I am not to sure at all. It fades quickly,so will end up costing me quite alot if one pot gives me two applications at this lentgh n by how quick it fades if I wanted to keep a good overall colour I would have to top it up atleast once a fortnight. One pot is about £4 so this means £4 a month..so in a year that would be £48 just to have pink hair..n then theres the fact I need my roots redone every month or two which costs about £15 so yeah is looking to be quite expensive now! The reason I am a lil weary of cost is because well soon there will be a lil baby that is constantly growing that will need new clothes every few months..nappies seem expensive to. So I feel that saving money wherever possible would be a good idea. This means I could well be looking at having my hair dyed a brown that is close to my natural colour..I am not cutting it all of to grow it back again as I have already tried that a few times in the past year or so.
After talking to my boyfriend about it we both think I could look nice with black hair. I have choosen black as my hair is naturally a dark brown so I won't need to have my roots touched up also I obvously didn't like having brown hair lol! I am going to local big shopping place called Meadowhall tomorrow with my friend so I think I will buy a hairdye and do it tomorrow. I dunno what to do with my two full tubs of pink dye maybe I could sell them of lol. But I was due a root touch up so I may aswell dye my hair sooner rather than later right! As for my clothes I feel that I may just need to wear them in a different way and customise and maybe get a few new bits to make everything go together better. I am actually looking forward to having a new hair style. And I feel that havin pink hair isn't a part of me that I need to keep to be me anymore as I used to feel that it was a part of who I am. Now I just think that there are other n better ways to express myself like with a nice dress :).
I will post a pic of my new hair n how I feel about it tomorrow. Now to watch south park n have a early night as I am meeting my friend at 11 :O that is very early for me to be up n out...I don't care though she is worth it! I have missed her so much since she moved last month,I used to see her every week n she is also pregnant so it was nice to have someone to share the experiences with n also she is a few months ahead of me to so she was nice to question when I was confused about stuff lol!

Uft..
I feel so rubbish n tired today. My bump's been feeling a bit odd lately but it is probablly just muscle pains n stuff. I'm not sure if I have started to feel them move yet either but I keep feelin lil fluttery twinges. Anyway I did go out for a bit earlier,it was still a bit sunny in the afternoon but not as much as it was in the morning. My boyfriend n me did go to the park but not for that long cause he just wanted to go home as his 3 hour tattoo sesh kinda wore him out with the pain..To be honest that did kind of piss me of as I didn't really get what he meant n I wasn't feelin to awesome myself but had gone all that way to meet him n have a bit of a nice day out. We did feed the ducks though even though he could only throw the bread with the sore arm which was sweet of him to bother doing..
It is really hard to keep my cool sometimes these day's and the smallest of things can set of into tears n bein mardy. Luckily I have a very paiteint boyfriend who always manages to make me ok in the end even if we do end up argueing. And afterall no relationship is perfect is it and what matters is that if there are lows that the two of you can bring it back up to a high again :). I feel like I should probablly cut my guy some slack he really trys so hard to look after me these days, damn hormornes for making me be a little shouty monster sometimes lol! I am pretty sure this is how it is for most people though even when there isn't a pregnancy involved. I know my parents have been through a heck of alot n are still together 18 years on.
Anywho this week our baby is 16 weeks old! Which means it is now 4 months old already :O it really has flown past... And in a few weeks at the 4 and a half month mark all I will be able to think is that we are half way through. Which is very exciteing but also daunting! I am really freaked out about giving birth lol! But I am looking at it more as it is only one part n then there will be our baby to love n to hold n to buy cute things for :).
Anyway I feel really lucky though a cottonwoll brain today. Lucky n tired. N happy that glee xmas style is on! And with that I will end this n switch of the laptop for the night.

Today is looking up to be a nice day!
I woke up to a awesomely sunny day,which is rare where I live! I rung my boyfriend to tell him his packages had come n to see if he would like to go somewhere to bathe in the sun, at the moment he is havin a tattoo at a tattooist on a road that is close to this park we really like. So hopefuly the sun will stay out and we can go sit in the park for a while n eat ice cream n feed the ducks the bread that needs using. This kind of day is what I really love about bein free to be able to do whatever every day. Most of the time that kind of freedom doesn't feel like its a freedom after all but instead a constant bore.. So days when we can actually do something nice with our time really make a difference.

Just finished knitting my scarf!
I started my purple n pink stripey scarf last friday. I wanted to finish it in a week as a little challange but I gusse I didn't knit as much as I thought I would. Now I have finished it,and the square I was doin for knit a sqaure the charity( I will talk about them properlly later on), and I did the lil digi cam case I only need to finish the pair of baby booties I started wednesday for our baby. If I do them well I will make a pair for my pregnant friend Jen soon. Her baby is due in only a few months! SO excited to meet her lil girl :).
Anywho I do actually find it pretty hard to only have one project on the go so I think I will start another square for the charity. I want to get as many done before I send them of as they need to be sent to africa!
I hope to start to learn how to crochet again soon aswell,I have tried with a friend before,we got to the start of the 3rd line n just got confused! So we need to try n try again. I would like to make some arugumi style toys for my baby and my friends baby as well. Babies are great to knit for it seems!

After some research online I feel so confused.
So it turns out that soft boiled eggs,even if the white is properlly fully cooked, are still seen as unsafe for pregnant women to eat. Even though apprently if the white is fully cooked the harmful bacteria goes... Which is how I have always and have been eating my eggs. I thought that if the white was properlly cooked that there would be no risk but turns out that it may be. I won't worry to much though as I haven't had eggs to many times since being pregnant. And well the baby seemed fine when I had my scan. And well worry isn't exactlly good for a pregnant lady is it lol! Anyway I am very gutted I can't have dippy eggs without feelin worried for the next 5 months. But it is a small sacrifice I gusse. Atleast I didn't smoke before!
Oh which reminds me my boyfriend has decided to quit smoking! :D Looks like all that naggin n concern for his health n saying how even if he went outside the harmful chemicals would still be on his breath n be harmful to the baby worked. I really hope he can do it. I really don't like that people I care about smoke. I gusse everyone feels like that though. So that's my sunday so far, I discovered I can't really have my dippy eggs n am lookin forward to my boyfriend not smelling like an ashtray anymore lol! Just so you know he never smoked near me.. he always went outside.

Im enjoying owning a camera again!
It is so nice to atlast be able to take photos of things that I used to look at n think aw man I would love to capture that! I noticed on my calender that I have done so much charity shopping lately so thought I would blog about my latest finds later. There is alot!
The weather is quite nice today I can't decide weither it is nice enough to go out to a park with my boyfriend or if it is a bit cold to go out for the day, I am still tryin to get over my mild cold you see. I think we may poss go to the cinema later to see either black swan or rango. Or we may just have our own film time at home n take advantage of me bein on the orange mobile network n go see them on wednesdays when I can get a text deal so you buy one ticket for the price of two. For now though I am going to go cook dippy eggs aka runny boiled eggs :)

I love baking!
So the apple crumble I made was quite nice. I added extra crumble I dunno if that was totally the right move as it did make it kinda chewy but it was nice actually. The apples tasted lovely with a bit of honey mixed in with them when they were down bein stewed a bit. I wouldv'e taken a photo but my digital cameras battery is chargeing. And it's been nommed a bit lol! Maybe next time I will upload a photo.
Random urdge to bake.
I just got a random urdge to bake while watching come dine with me. So as I have a few apples that need eatin but would like some warm homemade comfort food,I am going to bake a apple crumble :). Hopefuly only havin 3 normal apples won't matter, I know that they are ok to use as I have used them before but hopefuly there will be enough appleness! I will update later anywho.
I am using this recipe I found online:

I thought I would join in with the what I wore postness..
I am wearing:
Mens top from Primark with a scene of a robot destroying a city n of the loch ness sayin "oooo clumsy". It is my fave tshirt, n I prefer men tshirts to ladys sometimes as they are more loose fit.
A white with flower motif on the shoulders vintage style cardi I found monday at my local chairty shop for a £1. I like old lady style cardis but I know my mum will look at me in confusement...she doesn't quite get it.
Maternity jeans from George that I got for v cheap of ebay.
Converse style trainers from Primark.
I also have a floral headband on from Primark. I don't think you can quite see it in the pic as the flowers are different shades of pink n well my hair is pink to!

I want to grow some flowers...
But I don't know which seeds are good to plant at this time of year. I tried to ask google but to be honest just got confuseing answers. It'd be nice to do up our garden even though we only have the house untill next august..and I am growing quite fast so the bump may make gardening awkward. But I still want to garden damn it. Doe's anybody know what flower seeds are good to plant in spring?
I need to get in the learning zone...
I am already well ahead of myself with my studying, but my tutor say's it's a good thing n that I should prep myself for next weeks study as much as I can this week seeing as I already did the easier first chapter I was meant to study this week in a few hours with baking breaks in between last sunday. I am finding it a bit hard to not be distracted though and am keen to do other things instead..maybe I should do them first and study a bit later or knuckle myself down n do the other stuff later on.. hm hard choice that!
It's nice when you can still surprise yourself!
And today I did surprise myself, I was up early and got straight out of bed once I felt like I was awake. That meant that by the time it was 11.30 I had been up for an hour, and I have already: Eaten my breakfast, rung my old doctors for my info I needed to fill in a form so I can register at my new doctors, realised I accidently lost my midwife notes while I was moving house-I looked round the house there wasn't many place's it could be so it wasn't to stressful n hopefuly I can get my midwife to send me new ones-I am just waiting for her to ring me so we can talk about it, I have filled in my registering form so can take it to the doctors later to. Oh and I have wrote a list of thing's I need to do by the end of this week so I can do a few each day n tick them of as I go. Normally I am v lazy, I will be honest I am not a morning person, so it feels nice to actually be up and sorting things out that I need to do instead of lying in bed not quite knowing where to start with the day ahead.
I need to have a look at my assaignment book from the open university so I know what I need to be noteing down when reading my book. Think I will try n do that for a few hours later on. For now I think I need a nice warm shower as having a cold is making me uber cold atm :(.

I went from having only one knitting project earlier on today to having 3 on the go..
First I was just knitting myself a new scarf to go with my new yellow duffle coat, then my friend brought her awesome book of knitting to our knittng group n I saw a pattern for baby booties n thought hmm I will have a go at that, it's be nice to learn a new pattern! Honestly I have been knitting for 18 months n all it has been is straight lines turned into random things..n mainly scarfs due to orders,for when I had my label and for people I knew.
Interesting fact, me n my boyfriend started talking more via facebook due to seein each other at a mutual friends party n me bein me I was knitting for some of it n he mentioned it'd be cool if I could knit him a scarf..so I did n cause I am forgetful n was more personal about my order's we talked about the scarf n it's progress quite alot,this was last aug. N then he asked me to make him another scarf.. I asked him if he asked me out of wanting to talk to me more he said yes but that he liked that I could make things n wanted something I had made. He is the most sweetest boyfriend I have ever had..I am not ever letting him go :).
Anywho facts aside that are slightly relevant partily me just bein happy n in love.. We bought a digital camera today and as it has no case n you can totally make knitted case's for ipods,phones n laptops I thought aah lets start a knitted camera case..at half 11pm!
It is nearly 12.10am, my boyfriend was waiting for hours n hours for something to update for his pc game of final fantasy..n is now playin/faffin with it..he has to be up early tomorrow to so I think beddytimes acalling to be honest. I feel wide awake n mock the week is on to..ah these distractions from what I need to do are gettin silly.

*sniffle sniffle*
I think I have a lil cold :( I popped into the local pharmacy and they said as I am pregnant all I can have is paracetmol, but thats mianly to help any aches I have which are none..I can also have those soother sweet thingys so I bought a strawbery pack n a cherry pack hopefuly they will soothe the dry cough I have. When I normally get a cold I just go with it maybe have a quilt n tv day, but I care alot more now there's a little person in me as I know it must take alot of energy to grow a baby n they need alot from me in the next few weeks..so bein ill just feels like an annoying thing that is makin my body feel a lil crappy n is makin tryin to get well and do stuff for the baby to. No wonder I feel so damn tired!
Hopefuly it won't last long and my plan to stay in and keep as warm as possible and drink plenty of fluids and eat lots of vit c enriched foods will work!

Sneezes, and parcels, and a text from my mum saying she didnt feel to good for me to go visit today.
My parecels were two lovely tops that I mentioned I had won on ebay a few days ago. One is pink with flowers on n is so kitsch! And the other is white with what to me is so clever,flowers that make a heart shape as a pattern, so that ones more cute. I also recieved my lovely hairclips from athene noctua, one set is a pair of cute birght yellow owls, and the other is a set of 3 different flowers one purple,one lilac n one blue. I can't wait untill my hair gets a bit longer and then I can wear them alot in the summer to keep my hair out of my way. They came all sweetly packaged in pink tissue paper n pink ribbon n it was really lovely to open them,like little gifts to myself!
Due to the sneezes I am going to gusse I have slight bout of the sniffles,Im also really cold n tucked up in bed while I type this. I'm not sure what to do with myself untill 5pm,which is when my friends will start coming round as I am hosting our knitting group this week at my new home they all wanted to see,they also want to properly meet my boyfriend as they met him once at a fashion show I had a stall at cause he came but he was a lil shy so they all didn't talk much bless. I gusse I should go n attempt to register at the local docs again,last time they were shut for training! But the guy thought they were on their lunch :s so this makes me weary of what times they will be accessible. I know that they don't have a good rating on the nhs website,people comment on local gp's on that site now, unfourtuantely none of them near me got any good reviews,but there's not much I can do you have to go to your catchment area gp's! Hopefuly I can see someone soon for my B12 injection, I need to have these damn things for the rest of my life it seems :/,and also I need a new midwife which I am gutted about as my last one was SO nice!
Anywho I gusse that's just what happens when you move to a totally new area,everything including who you go to see about being ill has to change.
I think I best end this now as I am just sleepily rambling...

Started to make babys room nicer today.
Decided to paint the babys room a nice warm but pale yellow,as it is unisex (we don't know what it is yet) ,and makes a room seem warm n sunny. I've only done 2 of its 3 walls,one has a really nice wallpaper that has trees on,and it just looks n feels so much more better than it ever could with white...I really can not stand white walls they do my head in!
It is so nice to be making the babys room homely and with the cotbed all set up now its started to feel less like the spare room we kept boxe's in and more like a room our baby will live in soon :). The baby is 15 weeks old this week,apparently between week 15-22 they grow the most they ever will in their whole lifes, so it's no wonder I have started to be muc more hungrier in the last week lol! Also between 15-18 weeks I will be able to feel them move..Must wonder what havin a baby kick you actually feels like but I am sure the first time will be magical and the next amount of times quite annoying ;p.
The approx amount of weeks a baby is in the womb is 40-42 btw so I have about 25-27 to wait to give birth..something I am terrified of but again assume is a "magical" but annoying n quite painful experience!
Anywho enough about bein pregnant lol.

Today so far:
I got up about 11,had breakfast,ordered myself a desk and spoke to a friend on facebook chat.
I then went out to do a bout of charity shopping, I managed to find a chair to use with my new desk that was good for studying and for when I use my sewing machine for £3! A miffy teddy that is also a rattle for 10p, a lil owl ornament for 10p, 4 kid show vids for 40p, a vintage dress for £1, a cute white cardi that has flowers on it for £1, and 2 bright necklaces for 50p! Not bad eh! I really love charity shops, finding little treasures for cheap is much nicer than going to a normal shop seeing something or a few nice things that you just go "hooow much!" I always find that very disapointing to be honest. I don't have alot of money to spend on myself, and I don't like waste so charity shops are a dream come true to me :).
Anybody else feel like that?

Today so far:
I added an old friend back on to facebook after bumbing into her n havin quite a nice chat about us both being pregnant. She accepted straight away n we are now talking on chat,which is nice :).
I woke up about 40 mins ago wanting orange juice n so my boyfriend got me some as he wanted pop from the shop as well, it is really nice having someone to live with to help out with things!
Tumblr isn't working and is annoying me.
And I may buy a top that twinkie chan is selling as she doesn't wear it if it is the right size...

It's the small things that make me happy these day's.
I just found the tv show catchphrase on the channel challange! I really love these silly oldish game shows! Am going to knit more of my new scarf n watch it n feel a bit like an older lady,which ya know can be quite peaceful n relaxing sometimes.
I used to be a bit more "hardcore" n went out n got drunk alot n when I was alot younger dabbled with drugs..But being pregnant made me take a good look at my life n I am kinda enjoying not bein drunk most weekends anymore. Plus drinking when pregnant is dangerous so it wasn't like I was going to take that risk really.
I like myself alot more than I ever thought I did, to be honest I used to get so drunk cause I was so low n bored with my life. Now I actually enjoy it and appreciate the small things like silly tv shows n knitting myself a scarf :)

Ebay is a very odd way to shop but I always get suckered in...
I am watching a few things on ebay, I hate to say it but I am actually one of those people that snipe in near the end n probablly end up winning checkily...I feel like a right whats it now >_<
I'm sure everyone does it though once in a while right?
My recent watches are maternity tops as the normal ones I have been wearin n owned previously are getting just a bit tight. I can't believe how big I am at 3 n a half months!
I just won one of the tops :) Now got to wait few more mins to hopefuly win the other.. I won the other :).
So today I won 3 tops n including the p+p it all came up to only £15.92. How much of a bargin is that!
I did have to bid alot earlier to win, sometimes people put on a highest bid n you need to outbid them :s.
Anywho that's enough about ebay!

Blogging seems a bit uninspiring today...
I started this blog only yesterday and well I didnt want to say to much at once but I feel like a blog needs to have regular posts,every day ones if possible. I also have a tumblr,to be honest I feel like it's mainly just people showing pics of things they like and that blogspot is a lil more personal so I think I will pay more attention to this blog than my tumblr one.
I really like the idea of blogging, I have found alot of amazing things through peoples blogs. And it is a very modern way of being open and expressing yourself I gusse to, which can be nice sometimes. I love reading peoples blogs n getting inspired by them, I can only hope that mine will inspire atleast one person.
I think that to feel a bit more inspired I will go n look at other peoples blogs and tumblrs, see if I can find anything that I would like to share and stuff.

Those are the things you wouldn't have ever gussed from the title n url of this blog....The things that are obvious are that I do indeed knit,bake and like to eat cake..and donuts and cupcakes ;p. I have started this blog because I like reading other peoples n think I have things that are cool to know about to share to. Hopefuly people will actually read it lol!
I think I will leave this post short n sweet because as ever I have made my tea but with my laptop on to distract me!
I will be back shortly though to start the proper blogging.
