Brighton Breeze

Sunday 2nd October. 

We headed to Brighton to go to the VW Brighton Breeze meet up on the marina. The day wasn't looking so good with it pouring down with rain on the way. Once we arrived it looked like it had cleared up but soon started to pour down again and it did so for a few hours. Hollie kept pointing to the sea and I think if it had been warmer she would had loves to dip her feet. 

We decided to hide out in the arcade on the pier, playing on the 2p machines and winning lots of tickets that we exchanged for bubbles and colouring book. We tried to win teddies from the grab machine but we both didn't do so well. 

For lunch we headed to a fish and chip restaurant on the sea front with some of James's friends. The sun had come out during lunch so after we finally got a chance to look at all the vw's. We then headed back to the pier for a little while going into the arcade again and having doughnuts before walking around the pier and heading home. It was very windy  walking around the pier but Hollie loved it. 

8 weeks

This week I turned 8 weeks pregnant, so far I've suffered with really bad nausea and dizziness. There have been lots of days where I've not been able to move much on the sofa, this proves difficult with a toddler. Luckily on weekends James has been great and helped out and allowed me to just rest. 

On Monday I had my booking in appointment with the midwife where I had to answer lots of questions, have my bloods taken and do a urine sample. I remember doing all of this when I was pregnant with Hollie, it starts making it feel a little more real. 

My symptoms of nausea have subsided a little this week but have been struggling with eating, I need to remember smaller meals is the key. 

We will next have a scan around the 12 weeks mark where after we will announce that Hollie is going to be a BIG sister. Slightly scared to be doing it all again but will be so worth it I'm sure.
