Baby #2 - 4D Scan

This is probably my last pregnancy and have decided to do all things from 4D scan, maternity shoot and even a baby shower. None of which I done when pregnant with Corey 7 years ago. Didn't really bother me back then as they just weren't really a thing but now as you may know are absolutely huge.

In my opinion I think 4D scans look a bit freaky and I have a feeling I am not the only one who thinks so too. However, I really wanted Corey to come along to a scan to see his little brother as children aren't allowed at my local hospital. My mum even came along with us this time as she has never been to a scan of mine with Corey and this bump so far.

I headed over to Humpty Bumpty near Milton Keynes, where I had my early gender scan which you can see here. If you are local to the area then I really highly recommend them. It is a beautiful place - very calm, relaxing and extremely friendly staff. They even have a play area in the scan room for younger children who may get bored as well as a big sofa for the family who come along!

Despite Corey being a right pain in the bum and just talking non-stop getting on my nerves. As well as a baby who at first didn't want to play ball. It was really good in the end!

I had a normal growth scan at the hospital only a few days before this 4D scan which revealed I am growing a chubby giant this time round. All I can say is that I am a bit glad I won't be having a natural birth.

We did get a lot of pictures from the scan on a USB but I have decided to just share my favourite three. So have a look and then find out why I love each one..

In this little beauty is a lovely little smile from my boy. This moment was truly magical when on the big screen as Corey was just so over the moon with excitement to see his little brother smiling. 

I mentioned above that he is a giant right? Well the whole time he had this gigantic foot of his kicking himself in the face. Not sure whether to be worried or proud that he is that flexible?!

The sonographer pointed out how you can tell he is a little chub by the indents under his eyes which show he has chubby cheeks. This picture really shows that chubbiness! 

...................................

Although I wasn't a fan of these 4D scans to start off with. After having one I am totally in love. It was truly amazing and to share this moment with Corey and my mum made it even better. To see the little human that is growing inside my bump. To see the little smile, chubby cheeks and big foot. Just makes me all the more excited to meet this little bundle of join very soon.

If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant then I highly recommend you get booking in for one of these 4D scans even if like me you did think were a little freaky. You will soon change your mind!

I would love to know what your opinion on 4D scans are?!

Wagamama Restaurant Review - Bedford #AD

Recently I was lucky enough to be invited along for my first ever visit to Wagamama's! We have just had a new one open recently in our town - where a new complex that has opened up full of nice restaurants, cinema and posh apartments right along our river.

Being totally honest with you, I have always wanted to try Wagamama's but I am not the most adventurous when it comes to food and I wasn't sure whether I would like their menu or not. I didn't go by myself obviously - my brother, mum and Corey attended too. Corey obviously being as fussy as me but my mum and brother do like different cuisines and were excited to try!

Our local Wagamama's was the new Bedford one. It had only been open for 10 days when we went along. On a Sunday evening at 5pm - it was absolutely heaving. However, was some issues with the menu - the two things I thought I may have liked from the sides had sadly run out. Plus they had run out of Coke!!! But despite that, all the staff looked rushed off their feet but were very friendly and took the time to actually have a conversation and acknowledge you. It didn't feel rushed like sometimes restaurants can make you feel.

I was warned before we went that food wise you order what you want and then it comes out as and when ready. I completely understand that this is the way it is and most people will be ok with it. But personally for a family I don't think ideal. Luckily, Corey's did come first because he takes a long time to eat. My mum and brothers side then came, then my main, then theirs and then my side came basically by time rest of us had finished it all. A bit odd and just makes it difficult to know what to eat. I guess I am quite traditional in the sense I like a starter, break then main! But nothing wrong with the way Wagamama's do it, just not something I am used too.

Anyways, here is a fair few pictures of our yummy food.. (although apologies the lighting was very poor!)

Top To Bottom: Children's Katsu Curry, Ebi Katsu, Edamame with Salt, Tori Kara Age, Katsu Curry, Teriyaki Lamb, Steak Bulgogi and finally Pink Guava/Passion Fruit Sorbet.

ALL of the food was sooo yummy. I can not even explain how nice. I wouldn't of been brave enough to try much else besides the Katsu Curry which I was recommended by many as it is the plainest thing on the menu to be honest. Corey had the children's version and I was really impressed with how it came with the sauce separate which saved some moaning. He was pleasantly surprised with how yummy it all was. My mum and brother loved their choices too. The Edamame with Salt (pea looking beans in a pod things) were loved by everyone besides me. A very big bowl that was shared around the lot of them. I really wanted Duck Pancake Rolls or then Pork Ribs but both had sold out. Was quite gutted! I was recommended the Tori Kara Age by the waitress - it was odd like texture I guess but was nice tasting. Would of preferred my Duck Pancake Rolls though.

But the winner of the show is Pink Guava/Passion Fruit Sorbet. I wasn't the only one who had pudding but only one I got a picture of. I literally wish Wagamama's could just send me a pot of this stuff for my freezer. One way to please my pregnancy cravings is anything cold. Ice lollies have been my choice at home and I am a huge fan of sorbet usually anyways but this was whole new level of amazingness!!!!!! My mouth is just getting watery wishing for it now as I think about how yummy it was. Oh I so want to go back again now. 

So yeah over all I really lovely evening with family, great food, lovely service and one very pleased pregnant lady!! :) Really pleasantly surprised I actually enjoyed the food. So besides the downfall of view teething problems of running out of stuff and the odd way of serving was really a good visit and will be going again. 

I did share a picture over on Instagram (here) the night we attended, a lot of people were saying they wish they tried or should give a second chance. Well I certainly recommend you head on over to your local Wagamama's now even if usually a plain Jane like me!! :)
