My baby bump at 24 weeks, taken this morning by the baby-daddy-to-be. Still not a huge baby bump to be bragging about, really, it must be all baby in there. A very active baby at that, happily kicking the day/night away. We pick up the baby's cot tonight, that is going to be surreal! The first big thing we have bought for our baby. Must get a wriggle on now with only 16 weeks to go. My sister's friend had her baby 7 weeks early so you really do have to be prepared, just in case. I hope this one stays in for the full recommended cooking time. Early January, thank you very much.
We might stop for a bite to eat on the way home from picking up the cot to celebrate: 1. 24 weeks and buying our bub somewhere to sleep; 2. Putting our house on the market today; and... 3. Our house being featured in Real Living mag!
Wait what??? You say. I can finally reveal that our house is going to be in the next issue of Real Living! Our postie delivered our copy today and I have to tell you it is the most bizarre (but amazing!) feeling to read and see yourself and home in a magazine. I know a few of you have already got your copy too. It's on newstands on Monday so make sure you go out and buy a copy. I will share a pic or two next week.

Congratulations on the bump! Coming along nicely!! I'll be sure to pick up a copy of Real living mag, just out of curiosity, did they contact you for the feature or another way? What an exciting time of your life!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your house hunting! Or have you already purchased something else? Can't wait to see nursery project pics!
Aw, cute pic! And what an exciting day for you! Love those kind of days that you just know will stay in your memory forever.
ReplyDeleteWill grab a copy of RL on Monday xx
Hi Laura, the stylist contacted me about the feature and we took it from there - I think she found me through my online store/blog. Did you know Real Living had a reader decorating competition at the moment where you can submit pics of your home and if you win you have your house featured in the mag? Could be worth a go.
ReplyDeleteWe are looking at houses but will wait and see if ours sells first.
You look positively gorgeous with your baby bump, Julie! It is exciting getting all the baby things organised. Love the nursery design you have planned.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a fab excuse to get Real Living Mag. Can't wait to see your house in print! xx
Oh, how bad am I?! I did a quick flick through my copy and didn't even notice this! Sooooooooo jealous! xo
ReplyDeleteyeah so glad you got your copy. I was looking through the pages and was so excited when I recognised the heart print. loving the bump!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your bump and the mag spread! Gosh, lots of excitement in your world! Can't wait to get my mag in the mail on Monday :)

ReplyDeleteLong time waiting but i'm sure it all happened in the right timing after all. I'm so happy for you!
The best news is of course the baby but the Real Living deal is amazing as well! You look pretty great pregnant as well, so excited! Keep us posted!
Can you believe its been over a year since Blog Your Way? Be'c had her baby now as well (from cup of kitsch). Everyone's having babies lol. All the best!

You look fantastic Julie! Will definitely buy the next issue of Real Living. That's not too bad a timeline. I found out that I won't be in Home Beautiful until December. 6 months after the shoot!
ReplyDeleteYou have a perfect little bump and look absolutely radiant. How exciting to be featured in Real Living, please post some pics from the magazine spread as I don't think I'll get a copy very easily in the UK.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the magazine article! That's AWESOME (and totally well-deserved!)
ReplyDeletefound you via 'Real Living' what a gorgeous home you have - Congrats on the wonderful feature!!

Loved your home in Real Living. How exciting to be featured in a mag.
ReplyDeleteAlso - congratulations on growing a baby! Even through the haze of morning sickness I have still found being pregnant to be one of the most amazing experiences. Wishing you all the best - and will look forward to popping in every now and then to catch up on your journey :)
