Today Ham is the size of a honeydew melon. Woah.

(Happy birthday Mr Stardust)

I've had my first craving: mineral water. I would drink the stuff before I was pregnant but never really had much of an opinion about it. Now I want it, crave it, need it.

Other than that I am just hanging around feeling enormous and uncomfortable. Ham is still kicking all day long; is there a point where the amount of kicking is too much? I wore this to go get my blood drawn. Mostly I hang around in old t shirts that used to be baggy and sweatpants unless I have to go somewhere. It's a good thing I'm not back home in that polar vortex or I would never leave the house.

The dress and shoes are vintage, the tights are from Primark. The headband is home made.

Today Ham is the size of a cantalope.

I'm trying to look presentable for my husband's English family Christmas in this +Gap maternity dress. You can't really see here, but I am wearing flesh colored fishnet tights, which are my favorite. The fishnet accommodates my bump just fine and they are subtly sexy. Fishnets are also surprisingly warm, might I add. I also got to use my DIY headbands so I enjoyed the entire day messy hair and headache free.

My mother in law brought me in the kitchen and explained "now we lite the Christmas pudding on fire...and nobody knows why." I like it. Alcohol abstention is so much harder during the holidays than I thought. Mulled wine, ales, baileys, southern comfort. I love and crave red wine, but I don't want to have a glass even though they say you can. If I have one glass I will want one bottle; you know how it goes.

My days have been wonderful but I have been in a terrible mood the last few evenings, which is a pleasure enjoyed solely by my husband. Poor guy.

I hope y'all had a fantastic holiday!

The perfect headband

You know how you buy new headbands and they give you a headache because they are way to tight? I do.

These headbands are perfect. They are exactly as tight as they need to be and incredibly comfortable. And I made them myself out of old tights I was going to throw away. Just tie the stocking around your head and tie a knot. Take it off and tighten the knot as much as possible. Then snip off the ends leaving a bit of material so the knot doesn't slip undone. That's it.
