This waiting for this results is gonna be the longest of my life but this two boys keep my light and spirits up! Can’t put into words how much I love them 🤩👬💖// When the lab rang us to do the payment for this tests, they said it might take longer as they are extremely busy! So it be the end of next week probably the following Monday before I know anything. In the meantime to enjoy life with these two boys that keep busy and very tired 💤😂❤️

Made this soup today for the iron on the lentils and the spinach for the magnesium which helps to absorb calcium better 👌🏼 trying to get as much nutrients as possible because in my head it might help my baby 👶 . Today I didn’t add the fennel as I didn’t have any but I added a few sliced salad potatoes! The boys loved it! . Ingredients: 2 carrots 1 red onion 1/2 red pepper 1 leek 1/2 fennel bulb 2 cups spinach 1 cup (200g green lentils) 1 can of tomatoes 1.5 litres of vegetable stock Sea salt and black pepper to season Fresh parsley to garnish . Method: 1. Chop all the vegetables very finely 2. Sauté them with some water or olive oil in a saucepan 3. Add the lentils and sauté them in for a couple of seconds 4. Add the can of tomatoes and cook them in for a minute, followed by the stock 5. Bring to the boil then simmer until cooked 6. Take out about 2 cups of the soup and blend it 7. Pour the blended bit back in and it will make your soup so creamy you won’t believe what a gorgeous texture this gives it! 8. Serve, garnish with some parsley and enjoy with some crispy bread! Hope you like this recipe. My granny used to put crispy bacon on top when we were kids and we all used to love it! If you eat pork, you could try this!

So we decided to go for another private scan today with the same lady I paid the 20 week one on scanme. (Check my previous post to read my last update in case you missed it) she still doesn’t agree at all with the results they gave me on Holles st. So is very hard to take 2 completely diagnoses and not to know which one is the one... for this reason we took the decision to get the harmony test (is like a non-invasive aminio but is very expensive 😱) we didn’t care to pay for it just to rule out any chromosome abnormalities so now I have to wait 10 days or so for the results... in the meantime I’m going to go back to blogging to keep me busy and distracted because if I google anymore possibilities I can easily get a degree at this stage 🙈 so I’m going to relax and keep positive... // after the scan I went to @2210_patisserie to treat myself to a few caramel cupcakes 🍰 how good they look? // I really hope results come back as I wish! I will keep you all posted and thanks for those who hasn’t stop sending me support messages ❤️ really appreciate it! #baby #pregnant #29weekspregnant

Ok. I don’t even know where to start... for those who doesn’t know what I have been through the last few weeks I’ve been having some complications on my pregnancy so I took a social media break to kind of take it all in... and with the hope I was going to get some answers on my next scan which it was yesterday. So to tell you my story from the start here it goes. When I went to my private 20 week anomaly scan they told me baby could have “problem A” nothing to be too worry about but just to be sure she referred me to holles street for a second opinion so in there the doctor said: “no, problem A is actually nothing or of little significance, it actually could be problem B” so we’ll see as pregnancy progresses, or you could get an aminiocentesis to rule it out but that can bring misscarriage or bring you into labour so you decide... so I decided to wait for my next scan and see what my actual consultant had to say (bare in mind I had never meet the actual consultant to this point because in Mullingar they don’t do a 20 week scan, they do the 12 week, then the 28 week which it was yesterday) so husband and I went in full of hope yesterday and after a 3 hour wait i finally saw a consultant for the first time. But her ultrasound machine was really old. She couldn’t see anything and her English wasn’t great so we couldn’t understand much but she basically said “I don’t know. Not sure, go back to holles street and ask them for advice for further tests” so I walked out of there in tears with no hopes and I am back to the very begging I still have no answers and it seems like we will have to wait until baby is born. And until then nothin is 100% for sure... Thanks to everyone who has say a prayer for me and my baby 🙏🏼 for now I’m just going to be positive and think that is actually nothing... I don’t think I have any other option, but to be positive and hope for the best... (By the way, Picture is actually from 10 weeks ago, my belly now is hugeee! But I’m in no mood to take new pictures) ❤️

Thanks so much for everyone who has message me in the last week. And thanks to those who have notice my absence on social media. Going through a POSSIBLE complication on my pregnancy and although nothing has been fully diagnosed I’m so scared to what the future might hold for me and my family. Praying it will be nothing. For now I’m enjoying my boys, baking and spending time with them as I put my thoughts together. I hope you all have a very happy easter 🐣 and I hope you hang here for me while things get better. Again, thank you all ❤️ . P.S easter carrot napkin and bunny plates are from @pearlandco_ who gifted them to me and never got a chance to thank them x

So happy I got to meet the gorgeous @pipsy_pie in the La Roche-Posay event today talking about their baby products. I will be talking about the products on my Snapchat tomorrow if anyone is interested. They are for baby and kids and even adults! My Snapchat is MomFitnessDiary ❤️
