Questions & Answers.
Recently I posted on my instagram that I was going to be posting a Q&A post here on my blog, I think this is my 3rd now? I'm not to sure haha! Either way I love doing these posts and love the fact I can answer each of your individual questions - and some of them are very interesting! So without nattering on I'm going to get straight into answering your questions!
What was your reaction when you found out you were pregnant? and when did you find out?
> I was extremely shocked, Zachary and I had only been trying or taking no precautions for around a month, give or take a few days. As you know I have a few issues with my womb and ovaries - I've done a blog post related to that so I'll link that here ---- ............... It tooks us 7 months again give or take a few days to fall pregnant with Evangeline, and I had undergone a procedure to find out what was going on down there if you will, had a few cysts removed and my tubes slilghtly opened and it still took that long haha!! So we were under the impression due to what we were told when we were trying for Evangeline and because of having a csection it would take longer (we were told this by medical professionals). So we were very shocked, but extremely happy when we found out. We found out on valentines day.
What's your opinion on parents having children close together? Do you think they do it for money? How many months will be between Evie and her new sibling when he/she arrives in October?
> I don't really have one being honest, it doesn't bother me - there will be 15 months between Evie and her sibling, if baby is born on the due date. Some people may think thats really close and have problems with it. But I don't think its an issue, if you can look after them, love them, care for them, help them grow and develop and keep them happy then in my opinion thats all that matters, 10 months or 10 years apart its down to the individual and as long as they are cared for thats all that counts. And regards to money, NO, NO, NO I certainly do NOT think thats why people have children! for some people maybe, but the high majority no - myself and Zachary aren't entitled to a single penny from anyone (excluding work wages) as he's wage is higher than the threshold, therefore any money put towards our growing family is souly from money earnt! And I think that applies to many families!!!
What are your plans for the future? I know you get asked in every Q&A... but cars, house, work and just future plans?
> Well, ws you know we are in the process of trying to find the perfect car to suit our family. I've only been driving for 2 years now so a majority of the time my insurance is ridiculously expensive so thats something that we have to take into consideration when buying a car; not only that, but also the fact we will have 2 car seats and a tandem pram in the car, so we need something that suits all of those factors - but I'm sure the perfect one will crop up eventually! House....we actually intend to move again! Somewhere more suited haha, our place at the moment is a 3 bed bungalow, its lovely! but its a bit on the small size? However we actually will be moving somewhere smaller, I'll go in depth in another post haha! Work, I will be going back on the hunt for jobs in the next few years once Evangeline and the baby are in nursery, I'll be going part time - what job, at the moment I think I'd be down to do any (within reason) - a jobs a job!
Have you got any names planned for your baby?
> Yes! we have two names for a boy, although we definitely sway more towards one of them; and we have 2 for a girl, well we're not completely settled on the girls ones - but theres no rush, and theres no point panicing until we know the gender haha!

What is your biggest achievement?
> I would say my biggest achievement by far is my daughter, and of course the baby I'm carrying. Evangeline is such a happy, friendly, loving, intelligent, playful, cheeky little lady - she makes me prouder and prouder each and every day. She means the world to me, I love her more than anything. I'm extremely lucky to be her mummy.

Where is one place you'd like to visit as a family, you, zac, evangeline and the new baby? or will you be going on holiday before the baby comes in October? (holiday destination)
> My dream destination would be 'Disney Land'. I've always wanted to go there, ever since I was a little girl. And I hope to one day visit there with my family. I very much doubt we'll go much before Evangeline is 6 and this baby is 5; I feel like they'd have much more fun! and nope, we don't have any holidays planned.

How many children do you want?
> Zachary and I only plan on having 2 children. So our dreams have come true, we have a gorgeous little girl and a new addition joining us in October. Of course we may decide to have 3 or more children in the future, but as for now we're happy with our family of 4.

What was your pregnancy cravings with your daughter? and will you be revelaing this gender?
> I didn't really have very many..... I had 3 through out my entire pregnancy, and 1 was just something I wanted daily - mainly because I found it refreshing..... so there was sausage rolls, quavers and orange juice! As for the gender, we're still not to sure yet; we're not against the idea of revelaing this baby's gender, but honestly a decision hasn't been made. Either way I'll keep you updated!

Your best fake tan? and horror tan story?
> My favvvvvv tan of all time is the 'Garnier Body - Summer Body' - I think thats what its called lol! I've used it for around 3 years now! and its now a part of my holy grail for summer time! Ahh, a tan horror story? I think we've all been there if you wear tan - accidently applying to much so you look like an oompa-loompa or that dreaded moment when you realise your tan is patchy in the most obviously places - i.e. your arms and legs!!

If you could only use one makeup item for the rest of your life, what would it be?
> This is really difficult, I love concealer; you can hide so many blemishes and brighten areas of your face. However, I love a good eyebrow gel or mascara? Id have to say concealer, I think I could live without eyebrow gel or mascara.... but I don't think I'd want to show of my eye bags or breakouts!

Will you and Zachary ever tie the knot?
> Haha! this made me giggle. We have an intention to get married, yes. But is it on the cards for the near future, I don't think so. Of course thats not ruling out engagement - but I don't think we'll get married for at least another 8-9 years? of course if that changes and happens sooner then thats fine... but as of now marriage isnt something that will be happening any time soon.

Where do you by most of your furniture. what are your fav shops?
I love John Lewis - but I can't say I adore the price tags being honest haha! Any where really, I love ikea, but we'll buy home decor and furniture from anywhere we find something we like....hopefully that makes sense!

What pram will you be getting for the future?
> Zachary and I have been doing a great deal of research into a new pram; and we've found a few we really like and of course a few we've hated. I'll probably do a different post talking about them i n the future and of course what one we pick - but as of now, we're still deciding! I will add we've just discovered the 'Uppababy Vista' and I loveeeee it!

How many times have you travelled abroad? do you like travelling?
> I've been abroad 3 times. Turkey, france and Tunisia. And no!! I hate aeroplanes, I absolutely hate flying, everytime I've been on a plane I've had a panic attack, I hate the idea my feet are that far of the ground. I hate everything about flying, literally everything - the only thing I love is getting of haha! Lets hope I can be brave for when we go on holiday as a family!

Why did you want another baby so soon? is it because of how quick your daughters growing?
> Nope, it is in no way relevant to Evangeline growing up. We love her more than anything, we love every minute with her; and are so grateful to be her parents. Having another baby doesn't change anything; other than we have another little bundle to love and care for. We wanted there to be roughly 1 1/2 or 2 years between them, and because of how long it took to fall pregnant with Evangeline we decided to start trying much sooner; we're extremely happy with the age gap (15 months). I love the little lady Evangeline is becoming, shes chatty, intelligent, loving, friendly the list goes on - I love the fact shes becoming a little toddler and she'll be a fab big sister.

What is your favourite season?
> I haven't really got one haha! I do love summer, fall/autumn and winter. I'm not overly struck on spring, mainly because I never know what to wear haha! one day its hot, the next cold. I like the simple weather, where its hot or cold. And although fall/autumn isn't either, my birthday falls there haha! I'd say summer is my top favourite season - one because Evangelines birthday falls there, and I love a good tan haha!

Do you have any tattoos or piercings?
> I don't have any tattoos, I've always wanted one but never been 100% on what I want. I don't think I'll ever take the plunge and get a tattoo just simply because I know after a few months I'd probably want to change it haha! But who knows, maybe one day I will? and as for piercings, I have 6 in total, 3 in one lobe, 2 in another and my cartilage. I've had my tummy button pierced twice, but both times they've gotten an infection or regected - to much hassle and gross!!

What do you prefer, long hair or short?
> I sit inbetween. 95% of the time what happens is - my hair will grow long and I'll be really happy with it, I never really bother doing much with it so often in ends up in a pony tail, messy bun or half up, half down; so I become fed up and get it chopped of to shorter than shoulder length...I'll love it for a few days, then I'll want my long hair back, so I'll by extensions, end up never using them, my hair grows and the cycle repeats haha!
Do you prefer your new house to your old one?
> Ironically I never thought I'd ever say this...but I really do miss our old place; I miss everything about it - well almost everything... and as much as I love where we are now, I think I preferred where we lived before? but even I don't know if I'd prefer here if we left, so I guess I'm not to sure? I hope you understand what I mean...sorry I couldn't give a specific answer.....

Will you being doing updated nursery tours on Evangeline's room and the baby due in Octobers room?
> Erm, I'm not to sure being completely honest.... I've done a tour of Evangeline's nursery in our old house here on my blog - I'll link the post Evangeline's Nursery tour. As for doing one for our new place, it's a possibility but I'm not going to say for sure - we still have a lot to organise and I think due to the floorplan of our bungalow Evangeline and the baby will be sharing, so I guess it depends on how much we organise and what not in the next coming months... oh and if we decide to share the gender before October haha!

If you could do any job on the planet and qualifications/experience wasn't something you had to worry about, what would you do?
> I'd love to do something that involves health care. For example a neonatal doctor, midwife or paediatrician; but I don't deal to well with blood or being under pressure to well and dislike seeing anyone ill or sad. So I doubt I'd be great at any of them - but who knows what the future holds?

What are your tips for blogging?
> I've done a whollleeeee post on this, well my tips for starting a blog - I'll link it here My tips for starting a blog. But in a summary, keeping it short and sweet. My top tips would be, be yourself try not copy anyone, don't make your blog a negative place - for example slating or being rude about other people; it looks very unprofessional. It's a bit of a cheek for me to say haha, but try to keep on a regular schedule of uploads. Write about things that interest you, things you find most interesting and can talk about for hours, I love chit-chats so I do them most.

If you could pick the gender of your baby what would you pick?
> Being completely honest, I really don't mind what our babys gender is. Of course I'd be telling you porkies if I said I wouldnt love a little boy, but as long as the baby is healthy, boy or girl I'm over the moon!

Will you be doing any pregnancy related posts i.e updates, what you bought, reviews, hospital bags and so on?
> I think I may do a few pregnancy related posts, like I did when I was pregnant with Evangeline. However I don't realllyyyyyy want to only post those types of posts as they may not interest everyone. But there will 100% be a good handful if not a few more in the future!

Nope, we're very close but there is still a great deal to do. We've have a majority of her decorations, some stuff for her cake smash, her plates, cups, cupcake stuff and what not, we have her cake organised - well someone to make it, her birthday outfit and accessories, we have half of her outfit for her cake smash, we haven't yet bought her any presents but we have a list! Oh, and we still have to send out invites haha! So not really but we're defiantly getting there!
