24 & 25 Weeks | Exercise, Food cravings & Sleep |

Eek, totally forgot my 24 week post last week, General life and work kept me super busy, so I decided to mix week 24 & 25 together into one post!

Anyways, woo I'm 25 weeks!


I am getting more and more excited now as my bump starts to grow and I feel him kick and somersault more and more! I can't believe that in just a few short months our life is going to turn upside down and be completely amazing and crazy all at the same time ! 

Now I am feeling better I'm starting to think more about how much I miss exercise ! I know it's okay to put on weight and enjoy a cake or two when baby and me fancy it- yes I made a big batch of brownies this week and have almost consumed them all - but I really do miss the buzz exercise gives you and that 'me' time where I can de-stress! So, I've decided to start swimming ! Even if I only go once a week, it's meant to be great for you in pregnancy and really feel like I will benefit from it in the upcoming months! Plus, I really want to take him swimming once he arrives ! 

I've also been trying to add loads of fruit and veg to my meals this week! My appetite was so bland early pregnancy, so my meal variety was so limited. I feel like I missed out on so much goodness from fruit and veg I am doubling up on it now!

Although, I have felt lots of positives from pregnancy the last couple of weeks I have been struggling more with sleep, I am a belly sleeper. I love to sleep right on my front, leg stuck out with my head stuffed in the pillow. Inevitably with larger boobs and a bigger belly I am really struggling. I have been looking into a pregnancy pillow, but with only 15 weeks left I thought maybe I could manage without!? Any thoughts, should I bite the bullet and get one now!?

I also have a new found love for Instagram! I have always loved posting pictures and looking through other peoples posts, but never realised the real presence it has within the baby world. I now follow so many lovely accounts! Its so great for nursery inspiration, for advice on pregnancy and prepping for babies arrival and also for just generally cooing at cute babies!

Please keep sharing with me all your lovely tips and advice it is soo appreciated!
