Hi I’m Oreke, a model and actress living in North London with my new hubby superman. This will be our first child and we are uber excited.
Week 16
A day before my birthday, I’m up at 5am to get to the ITV studios where I’m booked to model for Lorraine on Daybreak and realise with horror that I can no longer button up any of my jeans. Problems. I head out ‘unbuttoned’ but after nearly giving everyone a look at the tragedy that is my comfy pants when my jeans fall down, I decide it’s time I officially embrace The Bump and so go out shopping for it.
I head over to my farovite botique where I make the most of their personal shopper experience which made me feel like a princess – the clothes are gorgeous and soo far from the ‘maternity sacks’ superman has been teasing me about. The mission was to get a nice pair of jeans and my personal shopper helped me accomplish this. I went for black maternity straight leg jeans which are very stylish, so flattering, and incredibly comfortable (I think I will be living in these). I also try on a beautiful winter coat and a lovely dress but being very indecisive (Libran) I go for just the jeans. I spend the journey back home worrying about whether I’d done the right thing in leaving the coat and dress so as soon as I get in I go online and order them… The amazing thing was that it was so quick and easy and arrives the same day – simples. Certainly beat jumping in the car, fighting for a parking space and schlepping store to store!
I am feeling great now. I have a few new wonderful fashion pieces; I have finally stopped feeling sick all the time and everything doesn’t smell awful anymore. Second trimester- love it!
