Sunday was a bright but chilly day, and after an early morning chai latte and muffin with Chelle we took a lovely stroll through Brighton and along the seafront, where Athena and Fizz (Chelle’s daughter) played on the pebbles and guilt tripped me into paying for them to go on the car rides!

Over my two pregnancies I have flown abroad three times. I went to Egypt on our honeymoon at 13 weeks pregnant, then to the Czech Republic at 22 weeks pregnant, and during this pregnancy went to Morocco at 18 weeks.
