Wednesday 17th December
Went shopping with Jo, she is 33 weeks pregnant and looking great, her bump is lovely! Can't wait to meet my new neice or nephew!
I bought some of her baby present today which was an Advent steriliser, bottles and teats. She is hoping to breastfeed but will still need a steriliser for expressing milk and sterilising feeding bowls, spoons etc.
I will buy her a swing seat/bouncer also.
Went to starbucks and i had a latte and Jo had a caramel hot chocolate. She had a double choc chop muffin and i had a orange, cranberry muffin. They were very nice. Went to Mums for lunch with boys and John also.
