Wishing I'd Been On A Tropical Island

It's been almost 5 months since my last post! I wish I could say that I spent the entire 5 months on a secluded lush tropical island with my family, lazily spending my days sipping milk from a coconut, swimming in crystal clear water, playing games and lying under a palm tree soaking up the sun.

Oh the reality, it couldn't be farther from my wish. In reality I mostly spent 5 months secluded to my bedroom, 'lazily' spending my days sipping water, lying on my bed or sitting outside soaking up the sun because it made me feel better.

Why was I sick. Well, it's because I'm...

Morning sickness and food blogging just don't go together! I couldn't even log into my blog email address because just the thought turned me green. I'm much better now, morning sickness is gone, I have a few other pregnancy niggles but they seem to be managable with the help of my friends and family.
Baby no. 3 - how exciting! We have a daughter and a son already so I don't really care what we have this time. I think it's a boy but my husband and daughter think its a girl. So...

Luckily i've had my scan and found out...


Yup, it's...

So as it turns out my husband and I were both correct. We found out we were having twins at 7 weeks. It was weird because before I left to have a scan I had an overwhelming desire to have twins, I mean I really really wanted twins and i've never had a feeling like that before so it was such a pleasant suprise (and a bit of a shock) to be told I was having twins, I cried, it was fantastic news. Twins don't run directly in our family, both our dads have twin cousins but that's about it, so it's exciting to be pioneering the twin thing in our family (fingers crossed).

I'm still undecided if this cupcake resembles a belly or not. My belly button is not like that at all (just in case you were wondering), and this belly must belong to a not very pregnant woman, needs more icing underneath for a heavily pregnant lady.
