37 weeks!! The past two months has seriously flowwwwn by 🚀 Can’t believe I have just a couple of weeks left (or it could be any day really)! Come on baby boy, we’re ready to meet you 💙
Today we climbed Arthur’s Seat! Pretty stoked I made it to the top at 8 months pregnant 👊🏼 It wasn’t as hard as I thought, but I was going pretttty slowly towards the end 😄 . I’m just glad I can still go hiking - I had to stop doing my regular yoga/pilates classes from about 30 weeks because my bump was so big and I lost all my balance. (Imagine a drunk chicken and that’s kinda what I looked like 😂) So thank goodness I can still do something active that I really enjoy. Especially when the Scottish weather really turns it on like today - it was 23 degrees and totally glorious! ☀️
The weather’s finally warming up (well, as much as it can for a Scottish spring 😄) so I’m craving lighter meals. This is my delicious tomato and basil soup... yum. Recipe below! 🍅 1. Heat a large pot on medium heat, add a dollop of coconut oil, and sauté 2 diced onions until translucent. 2. Add 2 cloves finely chopped garlic, 1 cup basil leaves and salt and pepper to taste. 3. Add 3 tins diced tomatoes, 1T tomato paste and 1 cup vegetable stock. 4. Bring to the boil, simmer for a few minutes then take off the heat to let cool. 5. When cooled, blend thoroughly (with stick blender or transfer to a regular blender) and add coconut milk. Top with basil leaves to serve 🍃

Avocado toast... my new favourite breakfast! 🥑🥑🥑 I became addicted to this in the throes of morning sickness (when toast was life) using @scharglutenfreeuk bread. I’ve posted the recipe (I use two spices you wouldn’t guess!) + my 4 favourite variations on the blog - visit jennawestphal.com or click the link in my profile ✨
At our 20-week scan yesterday we found out IT'S A BOY! 💙💙💙 I’m so excited, I really wanted a boy ☺️ We've decided on a name but keeping it a secret for now... because you can have something in mind but what if he pops out and the name feels wrong?! 😜 Also I can't believe I'm half way already. The first 3 months went soooo slowly but the past 2 months have been lightening quick. July 31st will be here before I know it! 💙
Evvvvery time. I’m SO impatient 🙈
