Guessing game!

Hello beautifuls!
How are you all?

Well, I'm very sorry for not posting last Sunday but things have been pretty hectic with my pregnancy and things! I've been finishing fashion for college before I leave on maternity break, plus my clothes aren't fitting me any more (apart from my sweatpants and hoodies!) so I've been shopping and also making a few things! I've been getting told my bump is very small and neat, but I don't think that; I went from a size 8 to a 12 already, not very much but I'm bracing myself to suddenly...expand over the next few weeks!

So today Carter, myself and our parents went to the hospital for my 20 week pregnancy scan. I had so emotions running through me that I had never felt before! I was excited to see our baby but I was terrified incase something was wrong because at my last scan the nurse told me that my baby was lying a strange way and the slightest knock might cause damage; to say I was scared was an understatement!

When the nurse scanned my stomach and told me everything was fine before turning the motior for Carter and I too see, I was so relieved! My baby had turned into a safe position, she or he was in no danger at all, thank God!

Finally, after weeks off waiting, I was able to see my baby! The picture was so clear, we were able to get a perfect view of him or her! He or she even started blowing bubbles, his or her little hand lifted almost like it was waving at us! Of course, being emotional as I am, I started getting teary. We were asked if we wanted to know the gender but we wanted it to be a surprise for when he or she is born, however that didn't stop us from fighting over what we thought it would be on the way home in the car!

Carter thinks it's a boy because he claims he saw the 'evidence' if you all get me.. But I said it was the umbicial cord because my sister thought the same thing and her baby turned out to be a girl! I however think it's a girl, well that's what my gut is telling me!

But Carter and I have agreed not to worry about the gender, our baby will be loved whatever the outcome is! Gender makes no difference to us, girl or boy, we're happy. We just want our baby to be healthy and happy, that's all we pray for.

We have been going through baby names, ideas for the nursery which we'll be decorating over the next few weeks and writing them all down in a book, we've been cutting pictures out of baby nursery books (colours, cots, etc) and sticking them into the book too. We've even labled it Brown Baby #1. - If anyone has baby names that they'd like to share, please don't be afraid to let me know! =)

Anyway, a few have been asking for a picture of my bump or my scan so I'll add them in at the bottom, but I haven't took many bump pictures on my phone they are all on my camera so hopefully when I can upload them onto my laptop, I'll upload them on here! These two pictures are from my instagram which you can follow me on using your own instagram or just by clicking on statigram http://statigr.am/katiebryee

PS: Don't be afraid to share your opitions on what gender you think baby Brown is! I'll look forward to hearing your opitions!

Hope to talk soon girls & guys!

Stay beautiful!

small bump!

20 week scan!

Boys, boys, boys!

Hello beautifuls!
how are you all?

I'm sorry for the late updates but I have been so busy! I recently turned 18 weeks pregnant on Saturday, my bumps been growing a lot so I've been picking up a few materinity clothes and today Carter and I went to the aquarium with Carter's younger brother and sister and my nieces and nephew. It gave us good practise for the future!

So anyway, I was asked to cover a topic about boys one of the most common topics ever! I'll do my best to help with any of your problems, girls!

I've been with Carter for five years, he was my first boyfriend so I can't really compare him to anyone but I know for a fact that the way he treats me, is the way every guy should treat their girls. Treat them like a princess!

One: Every high school has a 'player' rolling around the hallways. Never judge that player though, never judge him on how many girls' he's kissed in a week or whatever because that may be a front. Has everyone heard the saying 'never judge a book by its cover' Yeah? Well that's 'cause it's true! My best friend is currently dating the 'player' from our high school, he dated so many girls in one week that we lost count but now he's a changed person.
Two: If a guy treats you wrong, ditch him! Never take any crap from a guy (or anyone in that matter)! If a guy disrespects you in anyway, (making plans and breaking them, choosing to go to a party with friends and not inviting you, being rude), get rid of him because girl, you are much better than that! By not standing up and putting your foot down, you'll be walked over like a doormat, honestly.
Three: Saying no poiltely is a difficult thing, you don't want to hurt the guys feelings because you may seem like a (excuse the language) bitch. Everyone thinks that if the girl turns the guy down, it automatically makes them a bad person and gives them a rep as the 'heartbreaker' and nobody wants that name! So by telling them that they are a nice person but you're not exactly looking for a relationship or anything along them lines is the best thing possible!
Four: Don't make a fool of yourself. Nobody likes seeing or hearing a giggling, hair-twirling, cartoon floating hearts, girl flirting with her crush. Play it cool because that will work so much better! I've heard rumours about girls not replying to a message the guy sends them for a few days because they don't want to seem 'eager' but truthfully, that will just make the guy less interested in you. Don't wait for them to make the first move!

I'm sorry for this being an extremely short blog but it's just past midnight and the little one inside my belly is getting restless! Again, keep responding and posting more topics for me to cover and there will be another one posted on Sunday! =)

Stay Beautiful!
