'Nostalgia, Ultra'

The title of Frank Ocean's debut album. 

My boyfriend introduced me to Frank's first album 'Nostalgia, Ultra' around Sept 2011. During the Autumn in England, we tend to have Indian Summers so hearing that album takes me back to a tiny, insanely hot student dorm room.

Being 38weeks pregnant has prompted 'Nostalgia, Ultra' within our lives. All the fun we've had together; the parties, the kisses, the Christmas celebrations...

However, today I'm using his music to de-stress as I've had the news that miniature is... well just that :-(

Apparently my bump hasn't grown in 3 weeks, so have been called into hospital for a growth scan with the threat of induction if they find anything 'concerning'. I feel a bit bad for calling miniature, miniature now. 


Perhaps my boyfriend's superstition that the nickname would jinx the baby was right!
By the end of today it's possible we could become parents!

I'm sure it's only a routine check though.


Maybe it is only right that I think of Frank Ocean today.

11 days into 2013...6 days until due date...New Year, New Beginnings!

Hello Everybody!

Welcome to my first post on my brand new blog at the start of a brand new year!

Last week kicked off the year with my 24th birthday; celebrated by going to Zara & an American Diner called Tinseltown, for a yummy malteaser milkshake! 

Next week, should see the arrival of my son!

He's due 17th Jan 2013- 6 days or 144 hours away! I must confess that 144 hours sounds uncomfortably close. Think of what could be done in that time? I don't know about you, but a shopping break to NYC or Dubai springs to mind. 



Luckily, the pregnancy has gone amazingly well so far! I am hoping for a smooth transition into labour. Let's not confuse 'smooth' with 'painless'.

I am mentally preparing for labour pains, but it's still only '6 days away'. Maybe when it becomes 48 hours away, the focus will be more intense. 

My Boyfriend and I are becoming excited. <3
