We are past the magic viable 24 weeks. Also it means that I don't fit in any of my non pregnancy clothes.
Luckily I still have number of roomy jumper dresses (they can count as pregnancy clothes).
That is how the Home in Surrey looks now :-)

Where with coat hangers?
Our house is overflown with coat hangers. I will banish some to the attic and there suddenly is a sea of them again. I think that they are actually breeding here. Our wardrobes are overfull, washing basket has always some and I am not even talking about the underneath of wardrobes! They are hidden everywhere! To resolve our problem with them I have sew a little bag (meaning big one) for them and designated it to our utility room (meaning utility cupboard/ that little space in front of condensator) as we are here in England calling room even a 1m x 1m area of corridor.
So what do you think?

23 weeks pregnant & GYM
Yep, this morning I woke up and felt good. That means - trip to the local GYM.
This is what I usually wear. Nothing special or expensive. Just my top is long one. Almost you can say, that I have a little bit of belly / maybe pregnant. :-)
Nobody yet asked me.
So this morning I did 45 minutes of treadmill ( only walk), cross trainer plus a number of machines.
I am quite proud of myself. The hardest is to get up, put some GYM clothes on and actually go there.
After that it is easy. I am planing to do some exercise as far as my growing baby boy will allow me.

Let it hang
That is exactly what I did! This is just a little DIY. :-)))
When we were thinking about "logistics" of having baby there was the question of laundry. We will try to use a cloth nappies so we bought nice nappy bucket, but for a rest of the clothes we didn't need to think long. I still had this Primark fabric laundry bag from before my husband. (I know I keep everything). I am glad that I kept it as it will be perfect for lots of tiny little baby clothes + muslins.
It just needed to go somewhere.
In the end I have just sew to it little tags and with a help of wall hooks put it on the side of our baby changing dresser. Perfect. When we will be changing baby the laundry bag will be right there.

Personalised towel on budged
After finishing our nursery chair I was left with a bit of offcuts of fabric. I had a idea how to recognise our baby's towel! I just put a piece of offcuts on the each end of the towel and voila! Personalised towel without any cost.

Nursing chair - revamp
I have finally finished our nursing chair! It took me quite a long time as stupid me didn't buy enough of the fabric!
Also I have been very, very careful with the pattern (the back is just on one side - the pattern is correct).
The old (dirty one) and the shiny grey chevron one.
