Hi, Sorry it's been awhile yet again. A lot of things are going on in my life right now but the pregnancy is going fine and I will be doing a post on that very soon.
I'm doing this post today to get me in the swing of blogging again, I have a lot of hauls two show you including baby clothes, perfumes, make-up and much more. But I wanted to do a fun post today so I'm doing a Pandora inspiration post, yes I'm late to the Pandora party but it's better late than never...
I have always seen and loved the idea of Pandora and I have always wanted one but not as much as I want one now
Here are some of my favorite Pandora inspiration images...
Be sure to check back as I will be sharing my Pandora charms and the stories behind them
Sadly my last post of my Gossip Girl music series! I have been doing this series for 6 whole months and I have really enjoyed looking back at favorite scenes and music of my all time favorite show EVER.

“The Upper East Side was like something
from Fitzgerald or Thackeray – teenagers acting like adults, adults
acting like teenagers, guarding secrets, spreading gossip all with the
trappings of truly opulent wealth. And membership into this community
was so elite you couldn’t even buy your way in. It was a birthright – a
birthright that I didn’t have. And my greatest achievements would never
earn it.
All I had to compare it to was what I read
in books. But that gave me the idea: I wasn’t born into this world …
maybe I could write myself into it. I overheard enough conversations to
mimic the voice of the Constance girls, but every writer needs his muse
and it wasn’t until that photo of Serena in the white dress that I knew I
had something strong enough to actually create a legend and launch a
website.
Within weeks I was getting dozens of
emails with stories about Upper East Siders, so I posted them
anonymously. And then I got more. Before long it was a monster. Everyone
was sending tips … When Serena came back from boarding school, I wrote
my first post about me, Lonely Boy, the outsider, the underdog. I might
have been a joke but at least people were talking about me" - XOXO GG FOREVER.
Hello. Sorry I'm so terrible, I always say I will post more but never get round to it :(
Big update this week! :)
Me and my partner was very excited to find out the sex so we agreed to have a private early gender scan at a place called Tummy2Mummy!
The scan showed that the baby is healthy and growing the way a baby should at 16 weeks, that was the most important thing. It didn't take long at all for the lady to find the gender.... which is a little baby BOY!
We have already got a name for the baby boy but we are trying to keep it a secret until he's been born!
How far along? 17 weeks 2 days
Maternity Clothes? Yes!
Stretch Marks? No, But I have been applying Palmer's Cocoa Butter stretch mark cream every morning and night to keep my skin moisturized.
Sleep: I try to have as much sleep as possible as I'm always tired.
Food Cravings:
In first trimester it was peas and coco pops, don't worry I didn't have
them together! In the last couple of weeks its been gravy dinners!
There we are again, another month and another Gossip Girl music post! It's going by so quickly, only two more months and posts till this series ends... :(

If you are a reader of my blog you will know I posted my pregnancy news a couple of weeks ago!
I have not been doing any pregnancy updates but now I have had my scan yesterday at 10:10 and I now know that the baby looks and is healthy I can do more updates!
Because this is a Diabetic pregnancy I have been keeping an extra eye on my blood sugars! I have been going to Diabetic Antenatal clinic almost every week since I found out. Before and during the first couple of weeks in pregnancy my blood sugars keep going so high, so they changed my Insulin to a Basal Bolus insulin regimen. Basal Bolus regimen is where you have to carbohydrate count and do insulin everything you eat.
Since I have been on this my blood sugars have been a lot better!!
The scan went really well, the baby keep bouncing around and looked really happy in there!
Today I had to write a post on the amazing new album by Lana Del Rey!
The album called Ultraviolence came out today and I rushed to get it! Being a big fan of her first album Born to Die and the Paradise extended edition , witch is one of my all time favorite albums. I couldn't wait to listen to this one, on my first listen to the album I already have a few favorite songs that I can see myself playing on repeat. But just like any album you have to listen to it a few times to properly get into it, but on my first listen I can say that I feel like I'm already there...
I found myself always listening to Lana and she has become my favorite artist and I think she will be for quite sometime. What I like about her is that there's no other singer like her, she's different and she has a really unique voice that is little old fashioned sounding.
Today is my Season 3 favorite songs from Gossip Girl.
This is my third month doing this and is also my half way point of finishing my series.
I hope you are enjoying it so far! If you have never seen my series before you can check it out at My Gossip Girl Music Series page here... and catch up on my passed posts of Season 1 & 2.
