Baby's First Mug Shots


So here he or she is- our strong little poppy. That's right only one, no twins. Just one little jellybean that is causing it's Mummy a lot of pain. Seeing our baby for the first time has really made it worth all the pain that I have been going through and makes me have that motherly urge to get through this. 
Still undecided as to wither I will go back for more haha. 

The doctor was right and we have been on the right track week path since day 1 really. Although we are 4 days more then expected at least it wasn't less than we thought. 

The first scan was a bit weird for me as I've never had an ultrasound for me. I was a bit funny about having a male do my ultrasound but he was really good and made it okay for me. I was scared to pull up the top and show my belly which has stretch marks galore on their but really they barely are looking at your belly not even when they are rolling the sonogram around they are doing it without having to look at your stomach - their hand leads and their eyes are on the screen the whole time, so those new mums we are a bit freaked about the first scan - stress less!

Today brought happiness that is absolutely priceless. To see your creation in your belly is amazing. It's just breathtaking.


Neutrogena T/Gel Daily Control 2 in 1 Anti-Dandruff Shampoo PLUS Conditioner



My partner & I spend alot of time in the sun and it tends to leave us with a dry scalp quite often. We have both tried other anti-dandruff stuff to help in this interim period but never have found much that has helped us out. 
We started using Neutrogena Daily Control 2 in 1 Anti-Dandruff about 2 months ago now and we haven't looked back since nor had to try numerous amounts of product to get this under control. 


Neutrogena state to you on the back of the bottle that 'Neutrogena T/Gel Daily Control 2 in 1 Anti-Dandruff Shampoo PLUS Conditioner starts working immediately to give fast, effective dandruff relief, that's good to your hair. Helps relieve scalp itching, flaking and dryness.'
I don't think Neutrogena could of stated a more accurate statement there at all. They have given you truthful advice of the product which I completely agree to 100%. 

Neutrogena also state on their bottle: 'Proven 2 in 1 formula contains three conditioning agents and Vitamin E to promote healthy-looking, soft, manageable hair. Pleasant fragrance. Dermatologist Tested.'  
What more could you ask for that does the trick in getting rid of that unwanted dry scalp, provides your hair with good stuff to keep it looking healthy, feel soft and smell nice?

This product I would also recommend to those who have sensitive skin as it is Dermatology tested. I myself have sensitive skin but did not react to this product at all from day dot. 



For best use they advise you to wet hair thoroughly  Massage into scalp. Lather and leave on the hair and scalp for several minutes. 


I picked up my bottle of Neutrogena T/Gel Daily Control 2 in 1 Anti-Dandruff Shampoo PLUS Conditioner from Coles for about $6.

First real 'Morning Sickness' morning


Well I can officially say that I had my first real 'morning sickness' action happen this morning.
I knew this morning that as soon as I started making my way through the cupboard as to what I was going to have for breakfast that I felt off. My oats that I have with little chocolate bits was left to about 2 tablespoons, not enough to feed a pregnant lady! I decided to mix in some healthy quick oats... EWH! Bad mistake had a little bit of that and couldn't bare to stomach anymore so in the bin that went. 
Daniel didn't want me to leave the house without putting something proper into my body so back I went scrummaging through the fridge and cupboard. I decided to try get down some yoghurt... half a tub later I had enough and threw that out. 
Then it all started rumbling in the tummy. I started to dry reach first and then I wanted to go to the bathroom to spit but more then that came out. The tears were flowing and my stomach was out of control, I was just vomiting with no control over what was going on in my belly and throat. It hurt so bad to have what felt like to me my stomach in my mouth with someone forcing everything out of me inside out. 
Daniel was very supportive their with me rubbing my back and saying positive things once again. He has been such a cherub, always wanting to help me out and asking what he can do.
He even gave me another 40 min back rub last night. Soooo amazing!

BYS Face - Foundation, Powder & Bronzer

BYS

BYS is also another daily product for me. I have been using BYS make up for about 3+ years now for my facial products. 

BYS MATTE FOUNDATION

I have light tanned skin and found it hard to find foundations to suit my skin tone until I found BYS Matte foundation.
This product's RRP is $9.95 for a 30ml glass pump bottle. 

I personally like liquid foundation as it goes on easier and stays longer. 
BYS made a good thing when they developed their foundation into Matte. 

BYS have Matte foundation in tones of: 
Medium Beige, Natural Beige and Sand Beige. 
I use Medium Beige. 


It rubs on so smoothly and blends really well with their BYS pressed powders which I also use BYS pressed powder that is of a lighter color to blend into my skin around the neck where I finish off my BYS Matte foundation. 


Left: Applied BYS Matte foundation on skin.




Right: Rubbed in BYS Matte 
foundation on the skin.





BYS PRESSED POWDER

















Above is the color selection of the pressed powders. This is what I use to blend in the BYS Matte foundation into my natural skin tone color around the neck area and on the nose which is that T zone area that where my make up usually wears off quicker. 
BYS Pressed Powder comes in: #1 Light, #2 Medium & #3 Dark.

BYS Pressed Powder RRP is around $4.95 for a 7g Powder Compact. They are in a flip top case.

BYS describe their pressed powder on their website below:
'These BYS pressed powder compacts are smooth and lightweight so they glide on easily. They are great for achieving a sheer look or easily layered for heavier coverage and a flawless finish. It has a subtle shimmer effect.'

BYS Pressed Powder also have Bronzing as a color selector for those shinners (cheek bones). As mentioned above I have lightly tanned skin so I can pull off the dark bronzer with it looking naturally nice. BYS Pressed Powder #1 Bronzing is also retailed at $4.95 also in a black flip top case. 

I stand by BYS as they are the affordable make up solutions. Why pay double the price for your make up needs when you can pay half the price for what I would consider as BYS do the job better. 

I get all my BYS products from our beloved affordable one stop shop KMart.

BYS don't only stock facial make up, they have a huge range of products from nail polish, lip glosses, eye shadows, foundations, body bronzers etc.

Never Ending

Week 9 and this morning sickness is at peak still. This weekend it has really gotten to me and got me all emotional. I have broke down a few times in little fits of tears as I feel like I can't take it anymore. 
Daniel has been great saying I'm the strongest woman he knows and comforting me when I get into these emotional states. 
Yesterday I was stressing over finding the phone chargers and he had to come over and grab me to say 'calm down it's alright we'll find it. ' I just get so worked up lately over nothing. 

 These 'morning sickness' symptoms are kicking into my normal meals that I should be having and not allowing me to eat much real food. I feel like I'm not doing a good job and depriving baby but I can't stomach the real food, I try to get it down but after a few bites I just can't.
But yet it's funny how the chocolate, lollies and other junk food can go down so easily :(

 It's a week today until we have our first scan! I am sooooo excited! Hoping we see twinnies in their but as long as we have 1 strong healthy heartbeat we will be pleased. Seeing baby will probably make me realise I've got to conquer through and make it all worth it. 

 Baby Daddy Daniel has taken this on all so well. He kisses my belly and talks to baby already. He even told babies off before for hurting Mummy and making her feel sick lots. He's adapted so well.
