Trying for a baby

Hi lovelies,
As most of you will already know by now L and I are trying for a baby!
After 5 years of being on the pill I am officially not taking it anymore!
I am a but worried but I know that we are ready, and we have a house and enough money that we can support a baby, and give the baby everything they want.
I am so excited too as I have wanted to be a mammy for a while but we knew we had to wait until we were financially stable. The one thing that is bothering me is that I haven't had a period in 5 years since I started the pill and I remember them being painful and getting back ache but I haven't experienced them in so long it worries me a little. I know women go through it every month and it's not that big of a deal but I'm a big wuss!
If anyone has any tips on how to deal with period pain etc let me know as I think I'm gonna need it!!

My weekend and a christening part 3...meal with a footballer

0Hi lovelies,
This is the last part about the christening weekend :-)
As I mentioned in part 2 the party finished quite early so L and I decided to go out for a meal. His footballer cousin (I will call him j for this) asked if he could come too as he didn't want to go home but also couldn't stay out all night as his wife would shout at him so the best thing to do was spend time with us. I have already mentioned that he is one of the nicest people I have ever met and one of the nicest in that family.
He had the car with him (a proper flashy number, i was suitably impressed) so he drove and decided to go the docks. We went to gusto's and sat outside as it was so sunny and honestly it was gorgeous. The sun was shining on us and we were right by the river/dock, it was fab.
I had bruscetta with tomato and avocado for starters which was lush, L shared and although he said he liked it he admitted to me later that he didn't,  and we both had carbonara which is the nicest I've ever had and I almost always order that if it's on the menu everywhere I go. J had a salad as he was training but then he ordered dessert! I had homemade doughnuts with chocolate sauce and cream and oh my world they were to die for! J wasn't impressed with his dessert so I shared mine with both of them.
Everything about the meal was amazing, including the service. It is one of the nicest places I have been to in Liverpool and I didn't even know it was there.
J wore sunglasses throughout the whole meal which was odd!
He also did the whole 'I'm just going to the toilet' thing when he was actually paying the bill, I didn't even realise what he had done but we are paying next time! We have been invited to his new house over the summer to stay with him and his wife and baby which will be fab!

After the meal he went home and L and I went back to the hotel, we were going to go to the cinema but L fell asleep while waiting for me so we just watched TV in the room instead...boring aren't we!!
Early in the morning I drove him to various family members houses to drop beer and stuff off and there was very nearly a divorce when he messed up directions again!! Who tells someone to get in the right lane then as soon as there is loads of cars in the left lane say oh you should be in that one actually, then when I manage to squeeze into that lane then admits that they are lost!! Annoying. But we managed to get everywhere we needed to be and he left me in the car while he went on for a cuppa a few times so I caught up on the you tubers I like to watch.
We went to Kirkby to see his uncle who was poorly and to pick up the rest of his clothes, then we went to maccies and drove home.
I got stuck in traffic but it wasn't too bad, although L kept telling me to come off at the wrong exits and as I don't know the way I just believed him.  So stressful.
But all in all it was a fab trip.

My weekend and a christening part 2...The christening

Hi again lovelies,
Well as you know if you read part 1 we didn't make the ceremony and were late for the party but only very slightly.
When we got there we went straight over to the mother of the baby, L's lovely cousin but she was busy with face painting so it was a quick hello then we went to sit with the family.
I love seeing his family as they make me feel so welcome and they all asked when we were having a baby (it made L agree we could start trying as soon as my pill runs out next week so I'm super excited) and they all asked if he was treating me right etc.
There were some famous people there as he is related to them, we had a very very famous singer/bass player who is also a.songwriter and whose house was bought for him by a famous solo artist. He is L's cousins husbands brother and uncle to the baby. He was so cocky though and I didn't even recognise him at first but that's because the music they play isn't my type at all.
There was a footballer whose wedding we went to last year and him and his wife are my favourite people in L's family as they are so lovely!! His wife wasn't there though as she was with their baby and her family which was a bit sad for me as I was excited to see her.
The party itself was so good for children, there was face painting, candy floss machines, party games, a kids entertainer and a surprise visit from oopsy daisy and iggledy piggledy (not sure if I got the name right) from in the night garden which was exciting for the kids and the footballer got his photo taken with them to send to his wife for his son!
There were goodie bags and prizes and all of the kids seemed to have a really good time.
There was a buffet but I didn't get much as we were going for a meal after but I did have an amazing cupcake that had the babies photo on it which I thought was a really good idea.
It was an amazing day but finished at 5 so L the footballer and I went for a meal.
The cousin that doesn't like me is also the babies aunt and she ignored me the entire time.  She spoke to L when he wasn't with me though but I didn't really mind. She is in her 40 s or 50 s and was wearing a mini dress, long platinum blonde hair extensions and heels that were bigger than mine which looked a bit tacky so I don't care if she doesn't like me just because I'm not like her.

See you again soon

My weekend and a christening part one...travelling

Hi lovelies,
I have decided to do this in three parts as it would take too long to do it all in one lol. Myself and L were invited to a christening in Liverpool on Sunday and L really wanted to go as it was his cousins baby and he hasn't seen them in ages.
as we don't live in Liverpool anymore but an hour away, I suggested that we stay in a hotel in Liverpool center for the weekend, but L decided it was too expensive to stay both Saturday and Sunday night so decided to book it for the Sunday.  This was fine until I realised that not only had he told me he booked the Hilton then didn't,  but on Saturday night told me that the christening was at 10:30 Sunday morning and the party started 12pm. We had planned to set off early anyway because we had heard something about the tour De France and some roads were meant to be shut and we weren't sure which ones but I had planned on being able to get ready in the hotel before hand because no one wants to drive in their best clothes really. He assured me it would be fine and although we would miss the ceremony we would be able to check in early and be ready in time for the party and only a few people were going to the ceremony anyway and one of them hates me.
So I packed my stuff (he had said he would do it while I showered and stuff but he fell asleep so I ended up doing it anyway) and his stuff too and we set off really early.
There was no traffic at all but a few people did nearly cause crashes, not with me but with people in front of me which set me on edge a bit. And as I've never driven through Liverpool centre, L had to direct me and what a laugh that was!! He was giving me no warning at all to turn, like I would be past the turning and he would say oh turn left there! And he was telling me to be in the wrong lanes, it was such a good job I was the only car! There were a few times when the lane split into two but in a way that meant if I carried on at the positioning I was then I would be in both lanes so I asked him what lane to be in and he said 'this one' which didn't help at all! Or he would say stay in this lane but actually mean move into that lane! I got so stressed!! He then directed me to the wrong place and I had to do an illegal u turn and go back on myself! I was so relieved when we finally got to the docks where we wanted to be!!
It was still really early so we paid for parking and then went for breakfast at the wetherspoons, which was surprisingly busy and full of irish men drinking alcohol already! I was a bit shocked as it was only 9am on a Sunday morning! We had the breakfast wrap and orange juice but my wrap had minging black things in it so I left it.
We went shopping a little, but as I am on a spending ban all I got was glamour magazine (which I am subscribing to this month) and he got clothes for the holiday, trainers, and bits and bobs. He did let me look at the makeup counters in Debenhams but it's not as much fun if I can't buy things! He was looking for a dress shirt as the one he had wanted to bring he couldn't find so he had to bring his other one which he doesn't like as much (my fault obviously). He just wanted a cheap one so went into primark and saw one he liked the look of but wanted to see what it looked like on. When he went to try it on though the woman said he couldn't but could try a shirt of the same size on, he explained that he knew his size he just wanted to see the style and colour but she said he could only try a plain white long sleeved one. He said it didn't matter and the girl rolled her eyes at the other worker there and glared at him. The other girl said well just try the white one on and stop making a fuss. I don't normally say anything because I am shy but she had been glaring at me while I was looking at shirts with him earlier so I already didn't like her but when she said that I saw red. I said to her 'firstly he is not making a fuss he has said it doesn't matter and we are going to leave it makes no difference to us. And secondly when you buy a dress that you like the colouring and pattern of do you try it on to see if it suits you even though you know your size?' 'Well yeah obviously' she said giggling, I asked if she would buy it without trying it and she laughed again and said no so I said 'well aren't you a bit out of order laughing and rolling your eyes at him and making comments when all he wants to do is something you do every time you buy new clothes. ' she didn't know what to say. I don't like to be rude but although we didn't understand it we weren't making a fuss, he had said it didn't matter and gone to leave but they made a fuss of it. What would you have done? I said it calmly and didn't talk down to her or lose my temper.
Anyway, we had a look in a few more shops (where he could try the shirt on) but he didn't like any of them so we ended up just going back to the car.
We had a walk around the dock which brought back good memories as we had our first date there so it was nice. And then we went to ask if we could check in early. 
At first they said there were no rooms available so I asked if there was anywhere I could get changed and explained why and she said we could check in early if we didn't mind having an internal room.
The room was actually the nicest I've stayed in in this country, the window just looked on to a feature rather than outside but the air con was amazing so that didn't bother us and it had brick walls and a brick ceiling so felt quite rustic. We loved it!! The bed was massive and we had everything we needed for the night. 
We got ready super quick and although L had said we would get a taxi he changed his mind. I was wearing a dress and really high wedges so I wasn't too happy about walking from the docks to the met quarter as I couldn't walk very well but he made me anyway to get the bus.  We actually ended up missing the bus and getting a taxi anyway so I was fuming as I had twisted my ankle (didn't fall though) and was in so much pain.
But this is where part 2 starts.
I hope I haven't bored you so far :-)

How has your weekend been?
