18 weeks pregnant & 3rd Anniversary Meal at Gustos

18 weeks pregnant

I'm slightly late with this blog post. As it stands I am now 19 and a half weeks pregnant! However I thought I would give a little update on how I am getting on anyway. The above picture was taken just as me and Gaz were leaving for our anniversary meal when I was 18 weeks. I'm getting a bump now which is lovely and something which a lot of people have commented on. I've actually graduated to maternity leggings which, oh my word, are the most comfiest thing ever. I may never wear normal leggings again! 

I'm beginning to feel tickles which is lovely and the odd few sensations which I think are kicks! I have my next scan on the 14th to find out if little bump is a boy or a girl. That is if little baby behaves and allows us to see!

Luckily I'm out of the tired faze which a lot of you may have noticed I was in for a while. I suffered awful morning sickness for a good few months. After that I could barely eat much which left me very low energy. I'm a lot better now thankfully. I also have a lot more motivation to blog now!

Craving wise? I'm mad for beef with gravy all over it. Also Fab lollies (I'm eating one as I type this). So nothing really consistent! 

As far as purchases we have bought a lot however I'm planning to do a separate post on that! Anyway lets get on with the main bulk of the post! Mine and Gaz's third anniversary meal.

3rd Anniversary Meal at Gustos

As always we decided to head to Liverpool to eat at Gustos which is on Liverpool Docks. We have done this ever since our first anniversary. If you ever get the chance to have a meal at Liverpool I highly suggest choosing Gustos. Liverpool was fully decked out for Christmas along with Christmas market stalls so I was well and truly in the festive mood that night! In fact I put my tree up the next day!

We arrived pretty early as we usually do so we decided to have a relax and a few drinks in the lounge type area whilst we waited for our table.

Gaz had his usual pint. Of course I can't drink so I had a lovely mocktail. This particular one was a lovely strawberry and banana mix. There mocktails were jam packed with fruit so I felt that it was not only a treat but also pretty good for me!

When we were seated I decided to go for the spaghetti bolognese which was delicious and the perfect portion size for me. Ever since becoming pregnant I can't deal with large portion sizes!

Gaz went for the lasagne which he has had before and loves. This is one of his favourites so he seems to go for it over and over again!

We also had some garlic bread to share! Overall Gustos was once again lovely. The service is always fantastic and quick. The seating is always so lovely no matter where you are sat in the restaurant. During December it is always so romantically and festively decorated. Myself and Gaz can't fault it and have a lovely time each time we go.

Valentines Day 2014

Hello everyone - I hope you are all doing well! Today I thought I would do a lifestyle post since I made a promise to myself that this year I am going to take more pictures, keep a better record of days out throughout the year and write more lifestyle posts!

Albert Dock - Liverpool

So this particular post is about valentines day 2014. Me and the OH decided to have a meal out on the 15th since we were both in work on the 14th. In reality our valentines night was spent ordering a take out, Chinese to be exact - yum, whilst watching Coronation Street and me trying to coax the OH in to giving me a back rub because 'it's valentines day'. 


You will have to forgive me for having my hair scrapped back and being hidden in a snood but it was so cold and windy that I had to tie my hair back till we got there and keep warm in my snood! We decided we would go to a place called Gusto in Liverpool which you can take a look at here. We had our first year anniversary meal here so we decided we would stick to what we know and go again!


Anyone who has a busy lifestyle knows how nice it is to have a sit down meal and a catch up. Our Valentines meal was no exception. I had a few glasses of wine and the OH had a few pints - we really enjoyed having a night to treat ourselves! 


Now on to the food! For a starter I had meatballs. They were really lovely and filling and the sauce was so nice! 


Yes I had pizza - I'm a girl who is not scared to eat when she's hungry even at restaurants! This was an american style pizza and it was really lovely. The pepperoni is a tad spicy which gives it a nice little kick!

As for gifts the OH did amazing. He got a personalized card with pictures of us all over it. He also got flowers sent to my house - red roses which are my favourite as well as a new watch and hand bag since I always ask for practical presents and he remembered that I wanted these!

How did you spend valentines day? Even if it was with Ben & Jerry I want to know!
