Organizing Your Worktops
Yesterday I started organizing my home. I told myself that I was every shelf, cupboard, drawer and corner of this house organized!
I've seen so many great ideas online, I can't wait to use them all. I want this place to be perfect before baby number two comes.
Yesterday I cleaned the living room a bit, then I sorted all my mail which actually covered the whole of my dining table to the point where you couldn't see it, then I went online to download stuff for my binder. It took me forever to find and download things that I wanted in my binder and then boom, there was no ink in the printer, ha ha. So I left it at that.
I then went into the shoe cupboard in our 'hallway' which wasn't really getting used for shoes. It took me over an hour to clean it out! I have all the shoes in there now and William's shoes too. I also want to put in a pressure pole so I can use it for scarves and a little basket for hats and gloves. Anyway, I'm gonna fetch the picture of the mess that was in that cupboard and I'll take pictures of the cupboard now and I will post them right here.
This is just some of the clutter that came out the cupboard. A lot stuff that shouldn't even have been in there! You can see my little shoe rack in the picture, which used to just sit in the hallway.
I cleaned the cupboard out completely and the space in the cupboard is quite big so I was able to extend the shoe rack, which now fits more shoes than it ever did before.
I put all the 'less used' shoes on the 'shelves' on the side.
I wanted William's shoes organized too. There's a lot more pairs that I need to get from his room. I was just going to put his shoes on the 'shelf' but they fit perfectly in the gaps and it saves so much space, so I did that instead. All the shoes that are too big for him are stored at the bottom of the cupboard in the left corner.
Above William's shoes there are some things that I wanted to keep that I can't really find a space for. So I put two little rugs, a pram sleeping bag thingy (ha ha), a baby bouncer (one of the ones you hang on the door) and one of those baby carrier things that you strap onto yourself. And it's also where the slippers will 'live'. There are also some boxes neatly stored at the very side of the cupboard.
And of course, I can't go anywhere without these two monkey following me everywhere!
This might not look like a lot but it has made such a difference! Like I said it took over an hour to clean out and organize but I am so glad I finally did it.
My partner also cleaned out another cupboard that we have, in which we'll be able to hang more jackets as this one is slightly full. Our hallway still has some clutter lying about because there's a lot to sort out, but it's definitely better than it was before.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, we moved the bedroom about too and it looks better. My vanity is near the window and in front of the bed so it's in the best place possible to make videos.
I'm yapping on now.. ha ha. I have so many more projects around the house and I think they will make fun blog posts. Maybe there will be some ideas people like or something? I don't know, anyway, I will 'see you' in my next blog post or my video if you watch me.
Love,

I really wanted to make a video before posting this but I guess I can write it and then publish it once the video is up. We'll see..
So you have probably guessed what this is about from the title, so, yes.. we are expecting baby number two!
I'm not even sure what to write in this post to be quite honest. I've been thinking about what I wanted to talk about in my video too, but there's just so many things!
Let's start by how I find out I was pregnant. This might be a bit 'bleugh' so you might want to skip this bit, ha ha. When I was pregnant with William I would constantly get infections.. down below.. Nothing serious! You just take a pessary and BOOM it's gone! The reason I was getting them was because I had Group B Strep.
Anyway, I haven't had an infection since and then I got one so my first thought was 'I must be pregnant!'.
I took a pregnancy test (or two, maybe three..) and they were negative, then I thought 'I'll get one more' and it looked like it was slightly positive but I don't believe the cheap pregnancy tests, so I bought the Clear One Digital pregnancy test. I was meant to take it the next day, in the morning, but I was just so inpatient. Needless to say, it felt like the test took forever! The little 'wait' icon appeared and was there for a while and then it said 'pregnant'. I was almost certain it was going to change to 'not pregnant' but no, it showed up with 1-2 weeks, which really means 2-3 or 3-4 weeks, I can't remember.
I was SO excited, and so was my partner! I was shaking!
That's how I found out I was pregnant. As for my symptoms? Well, I haven't been sick once. Not even once! There was a week or two where I felt so sick, I kept gagging and I wished I could just be sick but then it went away. I've been getting headaches, and that's about it I think. I remember, this time last pregnancy I was still suffering from morning sickness, it was horrible!
I was definitely more scared with this pregnancy than my first one. Mostly because I didn't feel pregnant at all! When I was pregnant with William, he didn't let me forget he was in there with the amount of morning sickness I was getting!
I was so scared of my first scan. I was scared in case they told me it was just a cyst on my ovaries or something and that caused a false positive pregnancy test.
We got there, I lay on the bed and the lady had a look at the screen for literally about 10 seconds and then turned it our way and we could see our little baby. She said everything was absolutely fine and I was over the moon. The little monkey would not move so we were there for a while, and, once again I ended up being upside down on the bed to try and get the baby to move. The same happened with William at every scan. He/she even stuck their tongue out, or at least that's what it looked like. And he/she kept sucking their finger, whereas William sucked his toes on the scan.
I love comparing the two pregnancies as they are both so much different!
Anyway, I'll post a picture of the little monkey for you, before this post gets boring.

Loads of baby dust to you all,
