It's a BOY!!!

Introducing James Anthony, born Monday the 12th of May at 7.12pm (via a scheduled c-section). He weighs 7.2lbs (3.2kg) which is a hell of a lot less than we were expecting! 

I'll do a more detailed post later about his delivery, but in a nutshell..  I couldn't be happier about how everything went.

We are so in-love with him! He's absolutely perfect in every way and we feel like the luckiest parents in the world! I honestly love being a mum.. it's given my life so much purpose and I feel like this is what I was meant to do (sounds corny but it's true!). It's like my life is complete now that he's here :)

Here are a few pics of my little man, during his first week of life!

I still can't believe I'm a mummy now! It's the best feeling ever.

New Hair!

One of the first things that I wanted to do on maternity leave was to have my hair done. I didn't get anything drastic done.. just a "freshen up" as I'm trying to grow my hair long again.

Here's the before picture...



As you can see, my hair was getting really dry and frizzy at the ends and my re-growth was making my hair look a bit blah.

I was a bit worried they'd take too much off the ends (don't you hate when that happens)... but I'm really happy with how it's turned out. They always straighten my hair too which I love because it makes it so soft and smooth! If only I had the patience to straighten it at home.

You'll have to let me know what you think! :)

OOTD: Lazy Sunday

Jeans West Maternity Jeans, Glamorous UK Flannel Shirt,
Trenery Flats, Parliament Beanie

I had such a great weekend catching up with family and friends... each time saying to them "ooh this might be the last time you see me before I have a baby!!!" How crazy is that!? :O 

I've got just over 2 weeks to go and I can't wait! I'm getting so huge and uncomfortable... bub is taking up every inch of space in my belly and it does not feel good! haha. I just can't wait to meet him/her and cuddle the hell out of them!!

So this was my lazy sunday outfit that I wore to brunch with the girls. I ordered this shirt online from Glamorous UK and I have to say I'm pretty impressed! It's the first time I've bought anything from there and the quality is better than what I was expecting for a shirt that cost me $20! I love that it's not maternity too but is still big enough to fit over my bump. I think I wasted too much money on maternity clothes when all you really need to do it buy looser clothing (apart from my maternity jeans which I can't live without!)

What do you think of maternity clothes? Worth it or waste of money?
