How cute are these pin curls?!?!
One day I will be brake enough to try that, I love vintage.
I think I would like to try these rag rolls to make your hair curly too. Especially with the baby - I guess some effort in the evening and then curly hair all day!

Carrot cake cup cakes!
I had a little spare time before Andy got home from work this morning so I had a baking mix in the cupboard and arranged a little carrot cake cup cake bake :)
I did surprise myself by how well they actually came out! I know it was a packet and not real baking but at the moment its all I had the energy to do...
I did bare in mind some of the photography tips I have been reading on a beautiful mess help series and it really makes sense, so I feel like I am making progress!!

Changes
So this will probably make my mum laugh because I am not one for changes, I strive to achieve things in my life and dread but excitedly anticipate the end. I am mostly talking about the academic goals I set for myself way back when that I am about to complete. Its a great feeling, but an odd feeling. In my 22 years I have always had education, so in completing these eagerly anticipated and worked for goal I am afraid of what comes next.
My relationship with Andy has only become stronger since learning we are expecting our first child together. I am confident in our love and our understanding of each other because we communicate quite well. Most of the time Andy feels like my greatest gift. Our life feels blessed but worked for. Our love feels right and natural. For the first time since I was 18 I feel like I am completely in the right place. Like every decision and choice we have made so far has been for this moment. Its an overwhelming but unforgettable time that feels like its flying by.
By September this year our entire life and relationship will be completely different. Not a little different. Completely. Andy won't be my priority and I wont be his. We have a whole new dynamic to learn now. My next achievement is to be a good mum balanced with a good wife. Luckily I have the rest of my life to figure this one out ....

Arghh working ...
So I totally am not enjoying this working life thing!
My hip is killing me, my ankle hurts from my over compensation in walking!!! I still have college work to do but my oven is clean.
I am really excited for our scan tomorrow, we have already had an 11 week scan because the midwife thought I was further along but little pea wasn't big enough to do the measurements. Tomorrow is when our due date should stick, currently I am counting down to the 11th September.
Andy and I have decided not to find out the gender of our pea because it makes things much more exciting!
The only trouble with working full time, studying and growing a baby is that its very tiring and I can't offload any of it. I am definitely learning to not worry as much and to enjoy each new twinge because its one day closer to our baby.
I cannot describe how content I feel at the moment, I have this peaceful feeling like I am just in the right point of my life. For a long time now, I have known that becoming a SAHM is my goal in life for at least until the kids go to school. I feel very grateful for everything I am involved in at the moment, I do have my moans and groans but actually I am very blessed.

Catch up
Another good intention of mine has completely gone out of the window! I am working on a plan for this little blog of mine at the moment, but university studies have kind of taken over for a little bit. Bring on June!!
We have also been quite busy with a little trip away, rearranging the house and generally trying to keep on top of things!! The trip away has produced another job for me too, Andy's cousin is getting married next year so I have volunteered my crafty nature by making their wedding stationary. I am putting it off until the middle of march really just to give me a goal!
Andy and I have another busy week planned as we are off to see my cousins on Monday, Tuesday we have a 13 week scan and Wednesday is my deadline for my assignment but I am also going out for a carvery with a new friend which I am really looking forward to.
Hopefully I manage to take more pictures because I did not take one the whole time I was away. Which I was quite sad about because there were times I did think about it and I just didn't make myself.

Round up
Ok so there is a lot going on in my personal life at the moment - my time will come to share, just not yet. I really do have to apologise for being away so long and I can't even promise I will be getting into a better routine just yet.
I finish uni in about 3and a half month which is seriously scary!!! I am not really ready work wise, but I am mentally ready to finish!!!
Work is manic with pay reviews etc at this time of year as well as all my training work coming under review. So much pressure.
Life, well our little life is lovely. Lacks motivation across the majority of areas except for spending time with my lovely. He really is so fab to me, I really appreciate him.
In the mean time, these are some blogs I read relatively regularly that you might enjoy.
