i have had a lovely day today, went into hythe with my mum and jorja. i had a facial and mum had a back massage, it was fantastic.
the weather has been gorgeous again and long may it last, everything feels better when the sun is shining!
the only thing that i am finding difficult is the need for sleep all the time! but hay ho, if that is my only worry im doing pretty good! x

just lovely
today has been 'just lovely' i went to church this morning which was great, jim played base and the band sounded fab, then went and met di and steve and headed to west wood cross. had a lovely meal which they treated us too. very nice and really appreciated.
had a mooch round the shops.
both me and jorja fell asleep on the way home, really odd to be napping as much as i am! i hate sleeping the the day! but if thats what bean needs thats what bean gets!
had some friends over tonight which is always fun and relaxing and now im listening to jim playing zelda on his wii!
i cant believe it but i am having to wear a few of my maternity trousers!!!!!!! i feel like a fraud as im so early on in the pregnancy but for some reason its like my body has just taken off from when i was last pregnant with jorja!
had the midwife phone me on friday to let me know they had received my form and would meet up with me in the next few weeks! very exciting! i am already 5 weeks and 1 day. its actually going fairly quickly!
bean says bye!!! xxx

precious moments
today has been filled with precious moments.
i have and always will believe that it is the little things in life that mean the most. like someone remembering your favourite flower or taking 5 mins out of there day to say hi. things like that.
i woke up like i do most days, go in and see jorja have a wee and make her breakfast (washing my hands in between of course!) then waking jim and saying i love you.
he then tells me to rest and that he is taking jorja food shopping to spend some daddy daughter time and so that i don't have to worry trying to do it in the week.
while they are gone i decide to have a sort out in jorjas room and remember she has two boxes under her changing table that are full of new clothes!
she has just run out of jeans and low and behold i find two gorgeous pairs, and loads of tops and a coat, all from her 1st birthday! God has always provided for us and today was no different. how amazing, it was so incredible to find them and remember the special people that had brought them for her.
jim and jorja arrive home with all the shopping and i can see jorja holding a bunch of flowers that she brought straight up to me with the look of pure joy. that is such a fab feeling when you know your husband has had the thought to buy the flowers but then get jorja to give them to me. so special.
but the treats did not stop there! jim brought me:
watermelon, just what i needed
chocolate eclairs, not one bag but two!
j2o's
chocolate
and last but not least pistachios!
he really does know me! that's special that he remembered what foods make me happy.
then met up with mummy di and steve, jen and coral and maddy. jen had a fate where she works so we popped along for a bit but it got too hot so we went down to a pub nearby. di and steve treated us to lunch which was such a kind a thoughtful thing to do, again a precious moment for me.
THEN if that wasn't enough Jen presented us with some goodies from when she was in NZ and it was so great, she had thought of everyone and i love her for it.
finally jorja today has been beautiful and filled my day with endless joy but two things have really stood out. when i ask her where is mummy's bean? he comes over to me and points at my tummy then kisses it. amazing . a true big sis in the making. the other thing, i went in to see her in bed earlier and she was crying i knelt beside her and she pulled my face into hers, stroked my cheek and pointed at my eye and said "i", then put her hand on my chest and said "love" and then look at me and said "you".
need i say anymore?!?
thank you to all of you who have made my day. i am truly blessed.

thank goodness for jim!
man i love my husband! not only is he fantastic with jorja but he is amazing with me too!
yesterday and today i have had a 'slight' hormonal surge and he still thinks im great! for some reason this week i have been so tired that when jorja is asleep i am too!
as soon as he comes in from work he tells me to put my feet up and relax, he sorts out dinner, leftover housework and jorja. he is my rock and i love him.
so james if you read this it is especially for you, you are an inspiration to me and jorja.
thank you for all you do.

blessings
when i look at my life i know i am blessed. i have a wonderful little family and a great extended family.
as i sit here i keep thinking of the amazing miracle that is growing inside me. i was reading a pregnancy magazine today, i take most of there stuff with a pinch of salt, but they had a week by week description of whats going on with 'the bean' as we call it!
at four weeks our bean has a heartbeat! how fantastic is that. plus all its major organs have started forming.
i really am so excited.
when i look at jorja i often think wow, look what me and james have produced! i cant believe that such a gorgeous, funny and smart little girl started out like the bean in me now.
life is great x

look at me go!
ok three days in a row! that is impressive.
today has been a day of mixed emotion.
spent most of the day with my nan and sister and it was just great. my nan is one of those people that you are just drawn too, she makes me feel very special and loved. she is wonderful. she also spoiled jorja too.
my nan insisted on buying us lunch so me and amy (my sis) insisted on buying pudding! at lunch my arm decided to go into overdrive and knock my drink all down me! and when i say it went everywhere i mean EVERYWHERE! it looked like i had peed myself! i rushed to the loo to try and sort the problem but there is only so much wet wipes can do! i then realized that instead of doing the normal discrete thing and use a cubicle, i am standing in full view of everyone wiping all over my trousers and wondering why people were starring!
anyway i decided that the wet myself look was not for me so quickly hurried to a clothes shop and found a fab pair of maternity trousers for a fiver! now i know what your thinking, maternity clothes already but have no fear im not going mad i just thought it makes sense to buy something that i can actually wear in the next year. instead of having to put them at the bak of my wardrobe and pray that i can wear them again!
that was the easy part of the day!
i am a very positive and outgoing person at heart but there are a few things not even my heart can deal with. well for now anyway it is going to take time and i know that james and jorja are here and really that is all that matters.
im sure i could rant for longer but the main thing is i am sitting here and james is on the couch and i want to be there with him! plus the sweets are closer to him and thats just wrong!

well its official!
i went to the doctors today to fill out the form for the midwife and have started taking my folic acid.
i was given this 'welcome' pack that will have all my notes for this pregnancy, very check up routine test that kind of thing. i was filling in my personal details and it makes it feel so real! im so excited! jorja has been an angel as always, ive been more tired than usual and its like she knows! she goes off to read or play with her toys and just lets me be for a while. i love her so much and she really is a delight, she has made parenthood exciting and fun. i am so amazed by her everyday and can only imagine how fantastic she will play the role of 'big sis!"
james is always home late on a monday and wednesday, i miss him! we have been together for 6 years now and i still have butterflies when he walks into the room!
god really is great, he is there with me in the hard times and the good times and it is only when i am in a bad time that i can really see that he is at work. i have always believed that everything happens for a reason and that we get stronger when we embrace him through all situations.
i love my family very much they are so important to me.
as im sitting her typing and looking out at the sea i know i am blessed and that no matter what life throws at me i am part of the bigger picture.
its so refreshing to relax and be at peace. i love it!
i find it so amazing that i am just one women but i have so many roles!
wife
mother
daughter
sister
friend
i mean wow! if thats not enough to satisfy me then i dont know what is!

its begun!
well hello! this is my first of many posts! i want to start by telling you a bit about myself and go from there.
i am 21 years old, married the man of my dreams nearly three years ago and have had the most beautiful little girl with him. she is now 18 months ( it has gone so quickly!) before Jorja i was a health care assistant in a neuro rehab ward which was great. i am now a full time mum and wouldn't change it for anything. which then brings me to the reason i started this blog!
i am proud to announce that i am 4 weeks pregnant and very excited! my husband james is fantastic and it is wonderful to be carrying his child.
i found my first pregnancy difficult and hard. There were so many surrounding stresses that made it difficult to enjoy the process.
this pregnancy i am going to enjoy it and really relax myself in it, jorja is going to be such an amazing big sister!
anyway thats me for now, write soon x
