Being a mum! | Amber Lorraine ♡

Hi dolls! 

Being a mum has been one of the most challenging things I have ever been through in life! 
Having a child really test your patients! But It is the biggest blessing In life! 
Having A newborn to 6 month old is such a joy and very easy! and after that WOW! Its been a hard road!

 Lily is now 9 months old she is the sweetest little devil! She is now crawling and pulling herself up! almost ready to walk! I have to keep an eye on her at all times cause she would rather pick up a little bit of fluff and eat it then play with toys! she is very full on all kids are at this age they get all this energy! She is very alert and switched on! She now says , Dad, Bub, Mum, Nan, Yeah! 
Since January we have a difficult time with her at night, Since 6 weeks old Lily has slept though the night roughly 10 hours! and since January she has been waking up in the middle of the nigh 4 times! It has been very difficult trying to figure out why!!! But I have been told that It's something 8-9 month olds go through! 

Being Pregnant I never thought about these things her being bigger or getting a cold or how I wanted her to grow up! Being a parent is never easy! But I feel super blessed having Jack ( Lily's dad) there by my side is the biggest blessing, I couldn't do it without him! We have our days in our relationship like everyone does who has kids it really test your relationship together coming on 4 years this year we are stronger then ever! The key to staying happy is communicating! and everyone fights! its healthy! 

Taking care of Lily is a full time job! I never really get a spear chance to myself to do the things I enjoy! like my Youtube channel or my Blog! but its all about making the time! Taking a break and having those couple of minutes to yourself! 

No one will ever tell you It's going to be easy! Everyone told me It was going to be hard! but having Lily was the best Choice in life! I feel super blessed!

38 Week Pregnancy Update ♡

 Hi Dolls, 
So I'm back for another pregnancy update blog! Coming to the end of my pregnancy has been very emotional still doesn't feel real I'm so close to meeting m daughter, It feels like It has gone very quick but I have been waiting a life time for her! The last couple of weeks have been a struggle! I haven't been able to sleep much at all, some night's I get the best sleep and some night's I get no sleep, so I have been very up and down I'm one of those grumpy people who get no sleep! The past week I have had to move my stuff to my boyfriends house where I will be living abit after baby is born! and that was alot! My boyfriend lives an hour away from my mums house where I will be giving birth, so I was very anxious being there for a week! and I started having Braxton Hicks at night and sometimes during the day! It was a very crazy week! At my last hospital appointment, they conformed that she is measuring and weighing at a normal size, and that there is no more room for her to grow any bigger! and that she is head down and ready to engage to my pelvis so all that is left to do is wait!
How Big is my Baby: Acording to my Pregnancy + app she is the size of a watermelon :| Weight between 2800-4000gr Length between 48-52 cm
Stretch MarksUgh These are still painful! they are starting to discolour since I haven't gained anymore weight! But have become so itchy! I'm still rubbing bio oil and moisturizers into them! But I'm so glad they look like they are going down!!!
Maternity Clothes: I have only gone up two clothing sizes so I'm still fitting into some of my old clothes and some maternity clothes I brought at the start of my pregnancy ! I love maternity clothes they have been so comfortable! Kmart, Target and BigW have been the best for maternity clothes for me! 
Food Cravings: My Cravings are still the same! its still chewing on ice cubs! which got very bad when my jaw swelled up from chewing hahah but it didn't stop me!
Movements: I'm still feeling her move but not as much as she was she is starting to slow down alot which they say happens towards the end of the pregnancy! I feel big movements at night when I'm trying to get comfortable
What I miss: Ugh I miss not having a belly! I miss my old clothes :'(
What I'm Loving:  I'm loving doing her nursery! it has been so much fun to put her room together with my boyfriend! 
Lifestyle & how it's changed: My lifestyle hasn't changed, I still try and go out! I guess some days I can't be bother to go out and do things! but I still try and stay social!

29 Weeks Pregnant! WHAT THE?!!! ♡

 Hey Dolls,
It's been a long time since I have sat and written a blog post! But so much has gone on since my last post and if you follow my Youtube videos you will have noticed I haven't made videos in a long time! But if your still following me on Instgram you will know that, I'm Pregnant! I wanted to keep my pregnancy very private until I was comfortable with sharing it!

But now that I'm at the end of my Pregnancy and I ready to redeem my channel back and my followers and start doing what I love again, I thought I would start here!
I'm going to share the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy with you guys! and catch you's up with my pregnancy!

So I'm currently 29 weeks and 3 days! I'm Due on the 4th of May 2015 and I'm having a baby girl!
We have decided to call her "Lily"

The most hardest thing I have been struggling with, would have to be sleep! I wake up about 10 times a night to pee! and not getting enough sleep! I'm still a full-time student studying Diploma of Beauty Therapy! I was ment to be finishing 26th of June but due to my baby girl, I have to take time off and return for 6 weeks to finish my diploma! So i'm very exhausted! But I have had the most easy pregnancy, I have had no complications! I had swollen feet from flying to Queensland around Christmas but besides that, I have been great! It has been the most craziest 7 months being pregnant! But I have enjoyed every moment of it! The one thing you realize being pregnant is who your real friends are! and I definitely did! I made a bunch of new friends that have done nothing but support me and been there for me! I had very bad sickness when I first found out only at nighttime tho! rarely in the mornings! and as soon as I hit 12 weeks it stopped thankgod! 

How Big is my Baby: My Baby girl is the size of a winter squash, 38-42cm and 1150-1700gr! I use the Pregnancy+ App! 

Stretch Marks: I was very lucky with stretch marks until the middle of my second trimester, I only had slight ones of my hips! and I was so fine with them! and then I started noticing them on the tops of my thighs and i cried for like 3 days straightt and then then appeared on my stomach and i cried for weeks! but I have been using some heavy duty stuff to get rid of them or lighten them and it has help heaps! I just got over it and came to the realisation that I'm not one of those lucky pregnant women who have no stretch marks! I thought I wouldn't get any but because my body shape has just changed dramatically there is not alot I can do from having a semi flat stomach to a belly with a growing baby!

Maternity Clothes: I love fashion, I love keeping up with trending clothes! Being Pregnant I thought I would have to start wearing ugly clothes! Until I came across ASOS Maternity! Oh wow, I was in love, I do buy most my maternity clothes off there, I can still get away with some normal clothes from the shops, But my size is different in all different shops and its annoying! But I love Maternity clothes! 

Food Cravings: I have had some weird food craving, but I have come to the conclusion that my cravings are savory foods! I love salt and vinger chips! I dream about them ahaha! 

Movements: I feel her move more then ever now!  Like can see my stomach move when she does, It'
s the best feeling! she is very cheeky tho! Everytime my partner goes to feel her kick she stops and will not move for him, he gets very angry! and she was doing the same for my mum, until I sat next to her for a good 20 minutes with her hands on my stomach until she moved and she did! She must be a mummy's girl! 

What I miss: Oh wow, I miss sleep, I miss being comfortable, Lying on my stomach! and not always running out of breath! but it's all worth it!

What I'm Loving: Definitely loving the feeling of her hiccuping! it's so cute! 

Lifestyle & how it's changed: Well I'm not wanting to go out as much and be out late, I would prefer to be at home going though and sorting though all her clothes and stuff, I always put her first and think of her first which I do not mind she is so worth it! Myself and my personality has not changed I will never change who I am, but I have definitely matured! I see things very differently!

  So this is my big belly at 29 weeks! as you can see the scare above my belly botton it's actually from my belly bar! My belly bar was stopping my belly button popping out! and it was pushing the bar up! and got so infected! and I have this ugly scare! It's fading but it alway's shows up! But when I tell people how far I am they don't believe it they say I'm still really small! No one yet has asked if I'm caring twins
