What a night....

What a night.....

My little one did not want to settle after her 23:30 feed. So i got up and helped my husband. She eventually went down at 2:30. Up again at 5:30. Its 7:05 and shes still sleeping. Im going to leave her till 8. Hubbies busy making me  breakfast and this is my lifeline today.

 

It's 11:03 and nu nu is down again. So far she has been pretty good with her schedule. She's sneezing and coughing occasionally which still has me worried but as my mom said, she's smiling, eating, sleeping well so I guess unless one of those are affected, she's fine? 

I don't think she'll sleep till 14:00 as she hasn't drunk enough but we'll see....

:) My nu nu

Todays makeup and clothes. I'm not going anywhere expect gym tonight so makeup is very basic. 

Lingerie:

Kiss me deadly Sirena set. Bra runs a bit small but otherwise very pretty

Outfit is a basic black dress from Forever new. My stomach isn't feeling great today so I'm going for comfort.

My scent: DKNY apple

My colour: YSL pale pink

Today is water slim day as well so expecting to run to the bathroom often.

Movie day: we're the Millers and Sex and the city. Again :)

Managed to stick to my diet and get my weight training in so super excited.

21:25 here so I'm headed to bed

Schedule: luckily i dont have anything scheduled today expect for gym later tonight. Maybe i could take my nu nu for a walk at lunch? We'll see how it goes.
