Baby Shower Photos by Gaynor Mapi Photography

How gorgeous are these photos?  I just love them, thank you so much Gaynor!  So blessed to have had you there, and my dear friend, thank you for capturing the day.  

This is me @ 29 Weeks

29 weeks and getting bigger by the day (feels like it anyway)... Feeling great, just a bit tired.

The Name Game

We have finally agreed, and settled on the name Ashton for our little boy.  We each made a list of names we liked, swapped lists, and would you believe the only name that remained on both was Ashton.  I really hope he looks like an 'Ashton', all the boys I've ever seen/ had the pleasure of meeting with this name were rather gorgeous!


Guess we'll have to wait and see!

Surprise Baby Shower!

I had such a great weekend, and a surprise baby shower on Saturday which was the cherry on the cake.  I had no clue, I thought I was going for soup and bread and to help finish party decorations. 

Everything was so beautifully set up, and we were so spoilt.  I am so blessed and so happy to have such wonderful friends in my life.  I have been to so many baby showers in the last 2 and a bit years, all of them special in their own way.  Sometimes I did feel sad because we lost our first little one, and we had been battling for so long to try and get pregnant again, but I loved seeing the glows of happiness each time.  Happiness is contagious, and if anything it only gave me more hope that it is going to happen to us one day - and finally, it's my turn.

The best of all is that I will get to share this beautiful experience with so many wonderful friends. 

Can't wait to show off my little miracle boy, Ashton.


Here are some pictures:

This is me @ 28 Weeks!

I'm now starting to run out of clothing quite quickly.  Been through my cupboard 3 times already to sort out what fits and what doesn't, and my wardrobe selection is getting smaller and smaller by the week.  Uh oh!  Pay day needs to come already, so that I can dash out and get a few things.  Also doesn't help that it's so cold these days, none of my jerseys go over my belly, and I have one jacket that can JUST close.

I'm still in awe - it's so weird seeing how big my belly has become, and quite amazing to see how the body changes to accommodate the baby growing in there.  My little string bean is such a busy boy.  I am so in love with him already, and so blessed to be able to experience this miracle growing inside me.

Looking forward to our next Dr appointment, been listening to Drs orders, taking it easy, eating and drinking well.
