PREGNANCY UPDATE 01

" Everything happens for a reason"

Hi everyone

As you all know from my previous post that I am pregnant.This is my first update on my pregnancy. I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and wanted to share my experience during these past weeks. 

FIRST TRIMESTER:

I think I am the lucky few not to experience morning sickness. I thank God for giving me the gift. I did not not have any symptoms during my first trimester. Thats the reason I found out I was pregnant when I was 9 weeks pregnant. 

SECOND TRIMESTER:

I had few symptoms during my second term. The symptoms I had are

1. Feeling tired all the time

2. Feeling hungry very often

3. Feel sleepy all the time

4. Started eating fried chicken a lot especially KFC

5. I feel sickness during the night after having dinner

Slight belly growth during second trimester

12 week scan meet "Oli" 

All these symptoms are natural and can be dealt easily. I usually eat short portion every 2hrs to cope with my hunger. I liked to sleep all the time and my sweet hubby let me to do it. Sometimes I have indigestion during night time and feel sick when I lie down. So I have to sit for a while to settle the sickness. My stomach started growing a bit and my weight increased by 2kg which is required.  

SUPPLEMENTS USED:

Folic acid: I have been taking folic acid 6 months prior to conception.

APPLICATIONS USED:

I have an iphone and I use the pregnancy application to keep in track with the development. The applications are 

1. My pregnancy

2. Baby bump
3. Prenatal workouts

4. Oh baby!

Weight 

Before: 55Kg

After first trimester: 56Kg

After second trimester: 58kg

See you with another pregnancy update. If you going through pregnancy, keep in mind to enjoy the time with your husband and cherish it. Enjoy the journey to motherhood even though it may have ups and downs, everything is worth it when you see your "precious baby".

OZSALE HAUL

"If you do not change direction you may end up where you are heading"

Hello everyone

Its has been long time since my last post. This post is going to be about few products I have been loving. I love doing online shopping and I love to buy from Ozsale (www.ozsale.com.au). The products I bought are

Michael Todd eye cream:

This is a Eyeosonic Duo Sonic-Ionic Serum Infusion System infuser and organic eye cream. This is a total eye treatment  which comes with a eye cream and a serum infuser. The cream is 15 ml and feels buttery and light. I apply small amount around my eyes and then spread it with the infuser. The infuser had a steel head and vibrates. This helps the penetration of cream and its so relaxing.

Price AUD 30

2. Maybelline color show in nude.

I have been loving this color which is perfect neutral color.

Price AUD 1.50

3. Maybelline salon manicure.
This is a strengthening nail polish which dries quickly and keeps my nails strong.  
Price AUD 1.50

Great Announcement !!!!

Hi my lovely readers

I am so happy to announce that 
  "I AM PREGNANT"

It has been 9 weeks that I found out I was pregnant. This is going to be a weekly update of my pregnancy. 

On 28.07.14 I took a test in the morning and it came positive. I was so happy and was waiting to tell my husband. I made several notes written by  me that describe my hubby and had the pregnancy stripes in an envelope. Finally he came in the evening  and once I handed over the envelope he did not have a clue what the stripes meant. Then I told him I was pregnant and he was so happy. 

I did not have any symptoms till 9 weeks. I went for the scan at 9 weeks and saw my baby who was so cute and small. I am so thankful to God for blessing with the baby. 

Cheers

Hey India haul

" Be calm , you will have your turn "

Dear all

It has been so long since I made a post. I am sorry I have been so busy. My sweet little sister got married so I went to India spent over a month there came back to Australia and stuck with job. I have been traveling a lot with my hon to many places before winter hits. I have been thinking to sit and write but have been having lot of things going on my mind. You know what I am talking about there is a place in your life you feel nothing and is confused why am I doing this and worry about everything. So finally I sat to post my India haul. I have been doing a lot of shopping in India mostly cosmetics, skin care and jewels. Lets start with the haul.

1. Himalaya neem face wash

I have been wanting to try this for a long time. Its is a very mild face wash and is good for acne prone skin. I have been using it for 2 months now and it is very good. I used to get few pimple now and then but after using this I am preventing acne at the beginning. I love it. 

2. VLCC kajal or eyeliner

         

        

Its is so creamy and can be smudged easily. Its good for Smokey eyes. Its in a lipstick tube and glides smoothly.

3. Lotus lip balm

I am trying this for the first time. Its a bit greasy and makes my lips sticky. But other than that its good. 

          

4. Handmade necklaces

I bought this when I went on a day trip to tea estates. It is so gorgeous and colorful. Its like statement piece. 

               

             

              

Hope you liked my haul

Cheers
