Well, I’m halfway through this pregnancy and I have to admit it is starting to get fun…someone gave up their seat on the bus yesterday! Yes, I admit…I am showing. Anyway, here’s how the first 20 weeks have looked (more or less)
Car Boot Loot
March 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Shop Dublin, Shop Thrift
Sunday, the hubby and I walked over to Harold’s Cross Stadium for the carboot sale. We’ve been dancing around the idea of buying things for the new baby, but felt pretty nervous about getting anything too early. After seeing the little guy on Friday, everything seems much for real. So here you go, Baby’s first [...]

We’re so excited. I can’t wait to meet the little guy. I’ve already been thinking about awesome nursery ideas (on a budget of course), but I still have to wait a few more weeks before I buy anything

What to Wear When You’re Expecting: 2nd Trimester
March 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Real Style, What to Wear When Your're Expecting

You’re easing into this pregnancy game, starting to tell people around you and are slowing feeling more like a normal person. My energy levels have increased and food aversions decreased, that coupled with the slow creeping of spring and holidays abroad [...]

1st Trimester Essentials
March 7th, 2010 · No Comments · 1st Trimester, Real Style, What to Wear When Your're Expecting
For the most part, you won’t need to buy anything new during the first trimester. But if you must shop (and lets face it, 3 months with out shopping is just silly), look for loose layers and things you can grow into. Bows, belts, pleats and long scarves help hide any budding bump before you’re [...]
