365/7 - week twenty - 7inches...and growing!

This week we had our 20-week baby scan. Both Paul and I were so excited about seeing the baby again and were keen to make sure everything was going as it should. Thankfully everything seems to be on track and the little thing is not so little anymore!

Currently sitting at 7-inches (head to rump!) the baby is growing fast... resulting in my belly growing as equally fast! I'm beginning to get used to the bump though and I thankfully look no longer just like the girl who ate all the pies and more like I'm pregnant... you could even say I'm beginning to blossom! :)

Keeping up with the 'fruit of the womb' theme and according to 'Heidi Murkoff', this week my baby is roughly around the length of an average banana!

365/7 - week nineteen - painting by numbers

I'm using these large paper mache numbers for a photo-shoot tomorrow and had to paint them all this week. I managed to not create too much of a mess but it did make me feel a little nostalgic about my days at art school when I'd walk around covered in paint and glue . I think I might have to look out my old artbox.

Mess is good as long as it's a 'creative mess'... yeah?

 

365/7 - week eighteen - London Loves

London loves The way people just fall apart London loves The way you just don't stand a chance London loves The mystery of a speeding car

Okay, a bit of a theme going on with my recent post titles linking to some of my favourite songs, but would you think I was weird if I told you I often think in music lyrics and associate images with lyrics or song titles?...thought so!

Anyway this one felt apt after spending a long weekend in London town. I ♥ London (I don't need a t-shirt to declare it). I love everything about it. I lived there for just over a year and had the best time and one of the best summers I've ever had. Most of my friends still live there and I will forever associate it with sunshine and good times and this weekend didn't fail to disappoint!

I was in London to be a bridesmaid and a photographer at my best friend Emma's wedding. Paul and I spent the weekend catching up with friends, wandering around Soho, eating (mostly asian) food and enjoying the sunshine...and there was a lot of sunshine!

This photo was taken whilst we were on a boat trip to Greenwich (a great way to see the city from a different perspective). The young girl was a tourist who I assume was still caught up with Royal Wedding fever... surely there is no other reason you would wear a union-jack shirt?!
