weekly vlog 🧚🏼 let’s catch up!! pregnancy, book shopping, cosy home days + linjer haul

We have so much to catch up on I'm gonna do my makeup and we can chat a little because I'm sure most of you know by now I'm pregnant which is so crazy to be like saying that and you guys actually like hearing it in somewhat real time.I have been documenting my pregnancy journey so far.Obviously you've seen little snippets of it, like finding out I'm pregnant and telling some of our friends and family, but I have some other videos that have kind of just been in the vault and I'll slowly post those over the next few weeks probably.I do think I want to film a pregnancy Q &A sometime in the next few weeks because I feel like I'm sure there are questions.So if you have any questions, I'll probably put a question box on Instagram at some point as well.But if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below.

In saying that though, I do have an entire first trimester vlog.I think it'll be out maybe next week, and that will probably answer a lot of questions in terms of just like how my first trimester went, and I feel like I just talked about lots of like symptoms and things in that video.So maybe your questions will be answered through that anyway, but If you have any questions, let me know.But it just feels so good not having to pretend anymore, not having to lie to you guys anymore.It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, which is so good.And it's so nice not having to, like, hide anything pregnancy or baby related in the back of my videos.

Like, every time I went to film a clip, I was like, wait, are my prenatals in the back?Is my pregnancy pillow out?

Beside my bed, I almost always had pregnancy books.So just making sure that was all hidden, like, ugh.It's so nice now to just film.and not have to check the background of everything which I wasn't perfect at there are definitely videos where my prenatal bottle was in the background and no one picked up on it which I'm well no one mentioned it to me. I felt like I was not that good at hiding it like I felt like it was so obvious so I'm just happy that I don't have to try and hide it anymore.

I'm also just so happy to be feeling good again because first trimester was no joke.I know everyone's experience is completely different and obviously like I said I have a whole vlog coming where I'll share.all of my experiences but oh my gosh i could not be more grateful that that season is over but i'm feeling good again i feel like myself again and now i'm just so excited for all of the things to come like so so excited makeup is done and as for final touches of course we need to put on our jewelry for the day i recently picked up a few pieces from linear and i am obsessed they are just so completely my style i love dainty simple pieces and so everything on the linear website is perfect to me i want everything i'm currently putting in the birthstone huggy earrings in white topaz i obviously got the april birthstone since that is my birthstone technically the april birthstone is a diamond and they actually do sell a version of these earrings that do have a diamond in them which is so beautiful linya actually has a bunch of diamond pieces and they're all lab grown diamonds and then for my everyday earring stack i've been pairing those huggies with these ella chain earrings i love earrings that have a little like chain detail again just so dainty.I chose gold vermeil pieces but all of Linnea's pieces are made with fine metals like sterling silver, real gold, or gold vermeil, which if you don't know is sterling silver pieces that are plated with a thick layer of real gold.And the last piece that I have is this beautiful organic wavy ring and I don't know which finger I want to wear it on, maybe that one.I think this is such a beautiful

simple piece that I could lay out with so many of my other jewelry that I have.Personally, I'm obsessed.But if you guys want to check out the Linea website, I'll have it linked down below and you guys can also use my discount code, which I'll put on the screen as well as in the description.I've truly been wearing these pieces every day since I got them.I love them so much.So thank you so much to Linea for working with me on this part of the vlog.

Liam and I have come to check out Lifeline Book Fest, which if you have never heard of it, It's something they run like all across Australia at different times of the year.I feel like it's on like twice a year, do you know?

I think so.I feel like roughly twice a year, but it's basically just like a huge secondhand book sale.It's held at the Brisbane Exhibition Centre and it's just a huge, huge room full of books that people have donated and so all the money goes to lifeline which is a non -profit organization here in australia so it's really cool i feel like it's very hit and miss as to whether you can like find good books if you line up like on the first day and get in right on opening there are some like crazy finds i've seen people find like first edition akatar signed by sarah j mass for like five bucks i feel like i'm not usually that lucky but it's just really fun to go and look really fun little like date idea in saying that we walked and then we split off to completely different genres.You go to the non -fiction section and I head to the fiction section.And today, we can look at the kids section, which is really fun.We'll see if we find anything.

We've come to try a new lunch spot that we haven't tried before.It's called Sanger Bites.It's like a sandwich spot.I'm not sure how well you can hear me because there's loud music going on, but I got a chicken Caesar wrap.How good.Did you get the sandwich?

sandwich?Steak sandwich, parmesan, yum.And then chicken Caesar wrap.That looks so good.You know when you're hungry and you're like, does it taste just better because I'm hungry or is it just that good?I'll show you the books that I picked up from Lifeline Book Fest.

I didn't get any for myself, but I got a bunch of kids books.So one thing that I really want to do for our, because they're like future kids, like future kids but also current is the book advent calendar at christmas time like where you wrap up a bunch of christmas books and you can unwrap one each night and read it together now obviously it's going to be a couple of years before this baby is unwrapping a gift at christmas and like understanding the concept but i'm hoping it will become a tradition and they can reread the same books every year till they're I guess too old to do that or too old to be interested in that but I really want to thrift all of the Christmas books for that because there are always so many Christmas books at op shops and so I just thought it was a good way to collect 24 Christmas books, you know?So I found a couple at Lifeline.The first one is called The Little Reindeer Who Lost His Presents.This is really cute, I read through it when I was there.We also have Happy Christmas Spot, which is so nostalgic, all the spot books.

I had them growing up, I'm sure many of you did too.And then this one is The Night Before Christmas, which is like the classic.was a night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse like that whole thing and this one just looked so like nostalgic vintage to me so I love that all of these were like three to five dollars I want to say I also found this one do not open this book so fun I think my nephew has this one I also got meet snuggle pot and cuddle pie I grew up on these books as well and Liam said he did too so I thought that was just like afun kind of nostalgic one.I found Oh The Places You'll Go which I know some people have a tradition around this book where they take it to anyone who was significant in their child's life like future teachers, child care educators, I guess people like that and they write little notes on the inside and I don't know if I'm gonna do that but I do think the story is really sweet so.picked this one up and lastly i got 50 favorite bible stories i had to flick through this and it was just so sweet and obviously a little bit of an easier to understand version of bible stories because they're written in like a kid friendly format but now at home i have some editing i want to do but also some sewing i want to do i started making my very first like baby item which i want to sew So many things for this baby.

I think it would just be so special and so fun.Like I want my kids to be the ones who are like, oh, thanks, my mom made it.So I am trying to make my very first pair of like toddler shorts or just like baby shorts.I'm making a six month size.Honestly, I just picked a random size and I'm just going with it.I started it last night.

I like cut the fabric and kind of like started the process, but I have a lot more work to do.So, well, actually I think it's going to be pretty quick.I don't think it's going to take too long, but I'll show you guys when I go upstairs.I finished making my little shorts.So cute.I made these using fabric from a shirt that I got at the op shop and I actually have enough material left over if I want to make something else in this fabric as well.

I don't know what but so cute.My first little pair of shorts, my first sewn little baby thing, baby clothes.Hopefully I can make lots more but Hopefully these are - it's like hard when I don't actually have a baby so I don't know what they would look like on right now.And I think they'd be cute for a boy or a girl.come up to the sunny coast for the day.We went to our favorite cafe for breakfast this morning.

Like did we drive an hour and a half just to go to our favorite cafe?Yes.And was it worth it?Yes.Have they changed my favorite avocado toast on the menu though?Yes, they've taken away my beetroot hummus, guys.

This has broken my heart.But we decided to also come up to Mullaney and probably Montville as well, hey.So we've just arrived in Mullaney and we're just gonna walk around to all the cute little stores.I'm so excited to look in the bookstores and also the antique stores here.It's just like a cute little town.Maybe we'll grab, oh, maybe we'll grab a coffee in Montville.

I wonder if it'll be busy because it's school holidays.it's just such a cute little spot i wonder if that big remember that big place we went to last time yeah that little antique thing yeah that big antique center yeah i wonder if that's open still was that like a pop -up it's such a beautiful day though so we've gotten very lucky with the weather because it's just so iffy at the moment it's like raining i don't know on and off every day but right now we have some blue skies a computer heavy day i just need to for a sec but we havecelebrate the end of the day with a package.I got this package from Muscle Nation and I haven't opened it yet.It is their collaboration with Tay Goody.So I'll show you what I got.

I have actually been back at the gym the last couple weeks, last two weeks, and it's felt so good to move my body again because I know I have said this before in this vlog but first trimester it just it wasn't gonna happen for me and that's okay but we're back oh we have this halter singlet that's such a pretty color it's like a purpley brown kind of color they've called the color Umber and then we also have matching shorts.I love muscle nation shorts They are so buttery and soft then we have this gorgeous little neutral crop top I feel like the tank and the sports bra layered together will be such a cute combo.I love these colors together Oh, did I get the same top in the other color as well?So nice love that color It's like an off -white like creamy vanilla kind of color and we also have this crop more of like a v -neck style again These will be so nice to mix and match and then lastly we have some pants.I'm really excited about these.Obviously it's winter here in Australia and these are like fold over.

I don't know if they're technically flares or if they're just like wide leg pants.I kind of want to put them on right now.They're called the Aura fold over straight leg leggings and again I got them in that same really pretty color.Oh that's so nice.Wow that's such a fun haul.I'm really excited to wear these.

It's four o 'clock and I think I want to make soup for dinner and I feel like it's better the longer you can like leave it to simmer.So I might actually start it now just so that it can simmer for like two hours or probably not that long by the time I like finish it but at least an hour and a half or so and I also have some sourdough and I truly think there's no better combo than homemade chicken soup and fresh sourdough toast on a winter's evening.Oh and I think we might watch a movie tonight.I think we're gonna watch grown -ups because I've never seen it and I went and watched G's soccer game last night which was so much fun but after her soccer game I was talking to Gand her girlfriend, and we were just chatting about lots of random things.But one of the things we were talking about was Adam Sandler movies, because I've watched a few of them recently.

And G was like, have you seen Grown Ups?And I was like, no, I haven't.And she's like, you really need to.So I think that might be on the agenda.Crazy Thursday night, I know.

Good morning, besties.

I am just about to head off to go hang out with George, Skye, and Izzy, aka the squad.And if you've been here since the squad house, which is the share house that I used to live in with three of my best friends from high school, you've been here a long time.We don't get to catch up super often, but we usually catch up a couple times a year.And today is one of those days.I'm so excited to see them.I feel like we all have so much to catch up on.

Here's my outfit of the day.I'm not going to lie, guys.I feel like I'm in a bit of an awkward point in pregnancy where I just look a little bloated.I don't really look pregnant necessarily, but I definitely feel like I look pregnant.It's also so fun be able to like show you my outfits properly again without worrying if i look pregnant or not because now you guys know bump update there's no bump but also by the end of the day it definitely looks significantly bigger but i have this little off the shoulder top from princess polly and then these jeans or like cargo pants i guess from princess polly guys if you are pregnant specifically like first second trimester obviously i can't speak to like heavily pregnant because i'm not there yet but these are the best i'm gonna link them down below if i remember they have elastic on the side best things ever especially if you're at the part of pregnancy where your bump is significantly smaller in the morning compared to the evening because you get dressed in the morning and you're like yeah this these pants fit me And by the end of the day, you're like, I need to be undoing some buttons.

Like this is so uncomfortable.So if you're at that kind of, well, actually I did that before I was pregnant too.Sometimes you just got to undo a button, but they are just so incredibly comfortable.And I think they're going to get me probably a decent way through my pregnancy.

I don't know I guess we'll see never done this before so I shouldn't be speaking like I know what I'm doing But anyway, that's the outfit and then just my platform converse because these jeans are awesome a little bit long on me and I just need a little bit of height and then I've just got a white sweater because it's cold and this little fake suede bag that I got from Kmart I think last year so I don't know if they still have this exact one but it's a nice little size we're gonna meet at a cafe and we might have a bit of a picnic after we'll see where the day takes us but I'm excited to see the gals the sunny angel leaf all of us live so far away from each other now like like I feel like almost all of us live pretty much at least an hour away from each other in completely different directions but that's just Growing up, isn't it?So we're kind of like trying to meet in the middle, but it's just a long drive for all of us Anyway, so I'm like do I want to listen to music or listen to a podcast?Do I even have a new podcast episode?I do have a new episode to listen to of what we said or do I just want to listen to music?My current music obsessions are Olivia Rodrigo's new album, of course And also I finally jumped on the Noah Kahn bandwagon George has been telling me to listen to Noah Kahn forever and I just I just, I don't know why I haven't.I've like listened to his music, but not like listened.

So I've been really listening the last few days, like that has been my go -to.And it has quite literally been the best.Like I'm loving, loving, loving, loving it.So maybe I'll listen to Noah.I'm kind of just, it's also a great driving album.Like I was driving home the other night and it was like 10 .30pm and I was just on the highway.

The roads were so empty and I was listening to this and it was just incredible.So I think I'm going to listen to Noah Khan.Guys, I'm very excited.We're completing a milestone today.Going to baby bunting for the first time.As parents, question mark?

I've been many times before, but only to buy baby shower gifts for friends and stuff.But today we're gonna go in and look at prams and car seats and just like all the things.and this is just so fun I don't think we're gonna buy anything today or nothing big But I just want to have a look at a few things in person.

So this is so fun Brisbane I cold like consistently I'm done with it though yesterday.I ended up not having the greatest afternoon we obviously went shopping you guys saw which was so much fun like looking at all the baby things and just like seeing kind of things in person because i've looked at everything online and i have like a list of all the things that i want to get eventually like we have so much time but it was just nice to see things in person I would love to know if you guys have any big ticket items that are like non -negotiable for you.If you're a mum, please let me know.I've had a lot of messages saying we definitely need to get a nursing chair.I think I'm gonna have to take off, this is too bulky.Whoa, looks really good.

This is how I'm wearing my hair today.It's Sunday by the way, I'm getting ready for church.Anyway, got a lot of messages saying you definitely need to get a nursing chair.chair.Well, obviously everyone has a different opinion.Like I had an overwhelming amount of messages saying, cause I posted a little video of us sitting in the nursing chairs, in the il tuto nursing chairs.

And everyone was like, best purchase I ever made.I've spent hours in my il tuto nursing chair.So I think that's definitely on the list.It was honestly on the list before I even got pregnant because all of my mom friends have them and love theirs.A lot of you said the ellipse.one is probably the way to go if we can which I need to work out if we have the space for it because since it reclines I just need to check if we have space for that in the nursery.

I don't think I filmed it, but I did sit in the electric one yesterday, and oh my gosh, it was so nice.And also, all of my, like, in -person mum friends say that it's really good to get the one with the wings, so you can, like, lean against that when you're tired.It's, like, so nice to have something to lean against.I'm a bit scared to be like, oh, what do you guys think?Because the internet is a scary place once you start asking for opinions and advice, because it's just a little bit overwhelming.Because obviously everyone has different experiences and different opinions, I know some of you watching this are probably like, you don't need a nursing chair.

I also have another question for the mums out there.If you have a 360 like spinning car seat, is it worth it?I actually don't even know if a 360 car seat will fit in my car because I drive a really small car.Another question, if you're a mum who drives a small car, How do you do it?Because it's not only like, can you fit a car seat, but it's also like, can you fit a pram in your boot?I don't know.

I've been thinking about that a lot recently.I love my car and I don't really want to buy a new car.I will eventually have to.I know that, but I love the idea of the 360 car seats because they're so much easier to get them in and out.I'm pretty sure I don't want to do a capsule.Anyway, if you have a 360 car seat, is it worth it or does it not really matter that much?

There's just so many little things to think about and I'm so excited, but it's also justlike, oh my gosh, why are there 500 car seats to choose from, you know?But yesterday after we got home, I was eating lunch and I just got this huge wave of nausea and I ended up throwing up and I'm so...I just feel a bit defeated by it because I really thought I was done with throwing up.I'm still nauseous a lot of the time but nothing compared to what I was in the first trimester, like once the first trimester finished, I was actually really lucky.A lot of my sickness kind of went away with the first trimester, for the most part.

And I know for a lot of women that does not happen, like they can end up being sick until 20 weeks, until 30 weeks.Some people literally don't stop throwing up their entire pregnancy.So I am so blessed that mine basically went away with the first trimester.And so I thought I was just done, which maybe that's naive.And then yesterday I just, yeah, something came over me it was not pretty and i think i'm just a bit i don't know if like triggered is the right word but i've just been a bit scared to eat since then because i'm just scared that whatever i eat will like trigger it because i've i don't know it probably doesn't even like have anything to do with that but it feels like it does like first trimester i just It was just rough and there are so many foods that I ate and then I would throw them up and then I just couldn't eat that food again and I've just started being able to eat all of those foods again because it's almost like I feel like I've bypassed that but I feel like after yesterday I've kind of reverted back a bit and I'm like scared again to eat all of those foods that I have thrown up before because what if that was the reason which I don't even think it is but I don't know I just I don't want to be sick anymore And again, maybe it was literally like a one -time thing and maybe I'll be fine But I will say yesterday I was kind of nauseous all morning And so it's probably not that surprising like I feel like not every day I'm nauseous anymore or it like comes in waves, but yesterday I was likeof nauseous all day so I don't know what I think it's just pregnancy isn't it like I can try and find reasons but the reason is probably just I'm pregnant after that I just kind of felt a bit off for the rest of the day which sucked because it was such a nice morning I'm gonna stop talking and try and finish my hair because I'm definitely it's definitely taking me longer than it needs to be we're back I did want to say, I am not planning for all of my content to become pregnancy, motherhood, coded, like not every single video.

Obviously, it's gonna be sprinkled.throughout because that's just my life now, but I'm not planning on that becoming my entire personality or like my entire content focus.I'm still planning on making book videos and just like vlogs.I mean, this is technically supposed to be just a normal vlog, but I think because it's the first time I've been able to share anything pregnancy related since I just announced, it's been so fun to be able to talk to you guys about it, but I promise that not every video moving forward is going to be a vlog.centered around pregnancy or motherhood however i'm just really excited so i did want to talk about it and i knew a lot of you guys wanted to hear more and like i said i will have some videos coming that are still just like very like focused on motherhood or this pregnancy journey like my first trimester vlog like a pregnancy q a but yeah that's not my like whole plan moving forward i'm still very much hoping to make Just like my normal content, you know, I've just always made content based on whatever stage of life I'm at when I was in high school and uni I filmed content like vlogs at uni I filmed study content and like what's in my pencil case kind of things and when I got engaged I made like wedding diy videos and like wedding budget videos like whatever stage of life I have been in my content has reflected that and I think Pregnancy and motherhood will do that to a certain extent, but i'm also just like i'm still me, you know But I also wanted to touch on that because if you are in a season of life where either you have nointerest in pregnancy or motherhood either because it's just not the stage of life you're in yet or because it's just something that you don't want in your life ever.

I completely understand and if my content just starts to annoy you, I understand like it's just inevitable to an extent.I obviously hope that my content doesn't annoy you but I understand that that's just not everyone can be for everyone.at all times.And also, if you're in a stage of life where hearing a lot about pregnancy or motherhood or anything like that is triggering to you for whatever reason, because of loss, because of infertility, just TTC things in general, like, I really, really get that.And if you just need to unfollow, unsubscribe, just not watch my content forever or for a certain amount of time, I also just completely understand that.And I think you know you, and we all need to protect.

our own hearts and our own emotions, I guess.Like, you know what you need to do for your own sanity and for your own heart, I guess.So, if my content is just not for you right now, I completely understand.I will not be offended if it's just something you need to say goodbye to for a while or forever, whatever.Whatever you need, you know?And for those of you who are in your TTC journey, if it is just, like, not the happiest for you or not the most exciting for you i just want to say i'm gonna cry i'm fine my heart goes out to you i love you and i'm praying for you it's just not nice but anyway i just wanted to mention that because i know that in this vlog i have been talking so much about just so many baby related things and like showing you my sewing and taking you to baby bunting and like all of those fun things well in my mind they're fun but yeah I'm not planning on just ditching all of my regular content moving forward.

And I also want to say, I announced on Monday and today is Sunday, so it's been a week since I announced.YouTube and Instagram and stuff like that and oh my gosh I just like could not have predicted the reaction or the response that you guys were gonna give me and I like have never felt so loved by my online community like ever like I just want to cry thinking about how special you guys have made me feel and how happy you guys are for me that is just oh i am crying okay cool i wish i could blame the pregnancy hormones but we all know i'm such a crier so it's probably just me but it has quite literally just been the nicest nicest response, kindest response.It's one of those things where like obviously I'm excited about this news and my family is excited, my friends are excited, but when it comes to the internet, I expected people to be like, wow, that's so fun and then just to move on, you know, as you should.And the way you guys have sent me the kindest messages and left the kindest comments on the content that I've posted, like makes my heart so full.Like again, obviously I am so excited to become a mother but for you guys to be like you're gonna be a great mom or you guys are gonna be great parents or i can't wait for this journey of yours i can't wait to see you enter this next chapter like i just can't believe how nice you guys are and how happy you are for me I don't know, I've just been so blown away and it's a bit overwhelming because I know I can't respond to all of you and I kind of hate that because it feels so rude and it's also kind of scary like finding out you are pregnant for the first time and also like really wanting it and praying for it and also it being a moment that you feel like you've waited for like literally your whole life is such an intimate feeling and such an intimate moment and to share that online is just a little bit scary because you just don't know how people will react.I kept thinking oh people are going to think I'm being so dramatic or putting it on or I don't know I just

was really scared that people would think I was just being I don't know making it like a bigger deal than it needed to be or something but for me this is probably like one of the biggest deals of my life you know like it's just not a moment you can plan how you're gonna react like you don't know how you're gonna react in that moment and so I didn't know what I was gonna do feel or how i was gonna show that i guess and obviously that moment of me finding out is just i i experienced every emotion under the sun within like five minutes it was absolutely crazy but also like euphoric like so euphoric i don't know i didn't know how people were gonna respond to that but yeah everyone has just been so kind and i'm just so thankful because it's just scary putting yourself online in a really raw way and for people just to accept that and be excited for you and be so happy for you like I'm so thankful.Anyway, like I said, it's Sunday, we're getting ready for church.I don't know what I'm gonna wear.I just feel like I struggle to dress myself in winter if I don't just put on jeans and a sweater, which I can do, but I only have one pair of jeans that currently fit me.So we have been repeating outfits recently, which is fine.I did end up buying that new top yesterday when I was at TK Maxx.

I think I showed you.I tried on.Well, I tried on a few tops, but I ended up just getting this one.How cute is it?And I thought that one would be good, especially with the future bump, because now that's something I need to consider.I will say a lot of my tops and my dresses are actually like so pregnancy friendly, which is amazing.

It's just like the style of top and dress that I like is usually quite like flowy.It's the pants and the skirts.that are the issue at the moment.And I'm also at that point in my pregnancy where I don't really buy a ton of new stuff because I'm only going to get bigger.

So I don't want to buy new jeans now because they probably won't fit me in like two months, you know?Unless I get maternity jeans, which I don't know how I feel about maternity jeans.Give me your thoughts if you have any.Anyway, I'm going to finish getting ready.Final outfit for church.This is what I'm wearing.

I'm hopingI'm warm enough.Honestly inside church It'll be warm.It's just like walking in and stuff.So I think I'll be fine I'm wearing this gorgeous green and white checkered dress from shop Madison Page Which is a small Australian business that I love love love I've had this dress for a few years now, but it's one of my faves And then I'm wearing my beginning boutique denim jacket that I also love and my princess Polly Brown boots I'm trying to get the most wear out of my boots that I can because I definitely can't wear them in like this friggin summer So I'm trying to get the most wear out of them that I can at the moment It is many hours later now.I'm in my cozy clothes.

I've had the coziest Sunday Afternoon slash evening.It's now like 6 30.I've eaten dinner Liam's hanging out with friends tonight.So it's just you and me tonight I'm about to hop in the shower though and get into some PJs to get even more cozy and then maybe we'll watch a movie or something I'm feeling squeaky clean.I love a fresh shower feeling.As I was putting up the camera, I was like, I have not told you guys about our little room swapper room.

I will probably show you properly in a future video, but obviously, now that we're having a baby, we wanted to have a nursery.We live in a three -bedroom house, so we have our bedroom, and then what we used to have is the library room, which is this room, which was also our guest room because it had like a sofa bed, and then we had our shared office.So in the third bedroom, Liam and I had a desk each.Liam sometimes works from home and then obviously I work from home so we both need some sort of desk situation and both of us like use our desks a lot.I even use mine a lot for like hobby related things like scrapbooking and sewing.I got my sewing machine right here.

So we knew whatever we did we needed to make sure we still both had desks available to us and so what we decided to do was take the sofa bed out of the library room and now we have both of our desks where the sofa bed was.It actually fits really nicely like I'm so happy with how it fits and that meant that the other room which was our office is now empty and we have actually like fully cleared it out so that when we do decide to get a cotand a nursing chair and all of those things we can do that straight away which is just so nice.I just didn't want to leave all of that too late and then just not have the energy or not have the motivation so we did it pretty early and now we just have an empty room but I actually really like our desks being in the library room.I feel like it makes a lot of sense like this feels like just such an I was gonna say such an academic space full of like romance books, fantasy books and for me to edit my little videos.It's not very academic necessarily, but it just feels like it makes sense.

But anyway, I've started a new sewing project.I think I'm going to do my first ever like patchwork project.I've always wanted to do patchwork stuff, but I just never have and so I've started cutting out a bunch of squares because I think I'm gonna do like a patchwork quilting sort of situation.It's probably gonna take me a long time because I feel like there's like a few steps and it's like a bigger project for me. started cutting out some squares.out of all these different fabrics that I just already had in my stash.I'm just using, like, fun, colourful things.

And once I have enough, I'm gonna patchwork them all together to make something.But I think I worked out that I still need, like, a bunch more squares.So I think I'm just gonna sit down and cut out some squares while I watch a movie tonight.But I don't know which movie I wanna watch.I've honestly been in such a big movie phase just during my pregnancy, I think, because I was just so sick.I spent a lot of time in bed.

And when you spend a lot of time in bed, you may end up spending a lot of time watching.TV and movies.I watched a lot of Survivor, which was great.And then I've started watching movies and it's been really fun.I've watched a lot that I've just like been meaning to watch for a long time that I just have never got around to watching.I don't know what I feel like watching tonight.

I want to do something like girly.Nothing sad.I do not want to watch anything sad right now.Maybe 27 Dresses?Maybe Confessions of a Shopaholic?I haven't seen either of those in so long.

Maybe Confessions of a Shopaholic?I don't even really remember the storyline.So that sounds fun.and start reading otherwise I'm definitely the type of person that gets like tunnel vision and if I start a task and I get excited about it I just like don't want to stop and I have to like force myself because sometimes you just don't need to be cutting out tiny little squares at 9 p .m.at night because then you'll keep going until it's like midnight and then you'll have a bad sleep and then you'll be grumpy then it's a whole thing even though I just want to sit here and cut out all my squares and arrange them and make the thing I'm making it's just it's not a good idea.

So I'm trying to be a responsible adult I'm not gonna finish my movie tonight, and I'm not gonna finish my project.Which I - I didn't think I'd finish my project tonight, but I'm like in the mood to hyper fixate and just get it done.I'll show you where I'm at though.I've laid out all my squares here.They actually do look really fun.I can't decide if this is the exact configuration that I'm gonna do.

I haven't decided if I want to make it bigger.I think I'm gonna sleep on it and then come back in the morning and see if I want to like rearrange anything, but I'm loving the colors.I'm loving the patterns.I think it looks so fun.I know when I patchwork it all together, it's gonna kind of like not shrink, but i'm gonna lose a little bit of each side because of the seam allowance so i know it's gonna be smaller than this and i think i want it to be like this size or slightly bigger and i need some more squares still so it'll be a fun project but there's no way i can finish it tonight i haven't even started sewing i'm still cutting i love that everything is just likescraps from previous work that i have and from my fabric collection like that's just so fun prenatals i will say that is so much easier now that i don't feel like i'm gonna throw up every second honestly taking like my prenatals and supplements first trimester it was It was so bad.

I feel like the worst parts of my day were trying to take my prenatals and supplements and not vomit them back up.Brushing my teeth.Oh my gosh, if you know, you know.That is the worst.Like, so bad.And then anytime I had to open the fridge.

Those were my like biggest ops every day.So bad.Anyway, I started a new book last night.I only read the first chapter, but this is The Dutch House by Anne Pachet.And again, I'm only a chapter in, so I don't know a ton about it, but I think we're following two siblings who had a bit of a difficult childhood.I'm not really sure why yet.

I haven't gotten into it.I've only like barely met them but it's an older sister and a younger brother and they live in this beautiful house called the dutch house and i think we're following them through like multiple decades of their lives so i think it's more of like a general fiction situation and then if i want to switch over to my kindle i'm reading between sisters by kristen hannah i have the physical copy as well but i'm reading on my kindle because it's on kindle unlimited but i'm literally six percent of the way through this one like i have barely started this one as well i've been falling asleep so quickly the last few nights especially.Guys, two nights ago I had a sleep score of 97.I have never ever ever had a sleep score that high.I think I had 95 or 96 like once and then I like barely ever get in the 90s and I got a 90.I think last night I had a 90, which is also just like very good for me.

And I've been sleeping like 9 hours a night.It's crazy.Again, first trimester I did not sleep that well at all.Like I, yeah, I did not.Did not sleep that well.And I slept for 9 hours and 24 minutes.

minutes last night that is so much sleep and then yeah the night before i had a sleep score of 97 total sleep was 9 hours 11 minutes i fell asleep in 14 minutes my latency was 14 minutes Last night my latency was four minutes.That's insane for me.Just to give you context, I feel like normally my latency is at least like 30 to 45 minutes.And that's usually when my sleep score is a little bit lower, I think.It's usually my latency that's like the issue, which means like how quickly I fell asleep.But yeah, I've been sleeping really well the last couple nights.

But anyway, I'm gonna put the camera down and read these, or one of these at least.My camera is also about to die, so I definitely need to finish this clip.And I think I'm gonna end the vlog here because it's Sunday night, it's the end of the week, We started this on, did we start this on Monday or did we start it on Tuesday?I forget.But it's the end of the week.But it's been so nice to spend the week with you guys.

I hope you've enjoyed just a chatty, life update -y kind of video.But I love you all so much and I will see you in my next video very soon.Goodbye.
