WEEKLY VLOG: 34 Weeks Pregnant! Is This Nesting??? & Unboxing things | Suzie Bonaldi

Good morning. We are a two bevy household this morning. I need all the hydration, but I cannot be without the mocha. I'm obsessed with the mocha at the moment. I blame Gail's. My obsession with Gail's, it's never really been a thing, but my third trimester, I'm obsessed with going to Gail's and I love the mocha that they do to the point where I've been making it at home and dare I say, I make it better slash slightly more unhealthy, so it's just, it's delicious. Hello, are you okay? How are you doing this morning? I just love her so much. Can you stay there? Do you want to get down? There's no room for her on my lap anymore. She's very sad about it. I actually, this morning, put hazelnut in this and it was so good. A little bit of hazelnut. Actually, off camera, I put in a little bit of brownie syrup. I've upgraded the syrup situation because TikTok has sold out my favorite white chocolate syrup. We're like a tight-knit little group here, so I feel very safe in not having to keep things because I know we don't go outrageous on things and things won't go out of stock and everything is fine, but someone told TikTok the white chocolate syrup that I have is the same one that Blank Street used, which I told all of you, but the whole of TikTok knows now and it's now fully out of stock. I need to crack on and put some mascara on because I got stuff to do this morning. I've upgraded the syrups and it's a stunning situation, so I now have a brownie syrup and I added that because it just added a little extra kick that I felt was missing. The hazelnut syrup is gorgeous, but it is more subtle and if you're a sweet girly or someone that just loves a chocolatey flavor, hazelnut just sometimes is a bit more nutty than it is sweet, if that makes sense. So it just needed a little extra sweetness because the chocolate powder I use in my mocha is quite bitter. I have a feeling I may have officially gone into nesting mode. I have the most over, I don't have time for this, but I have the most overwhelming urge today to just clean my whole house, bake, prep food. I love it, it's wild. Ryan is gonna come home today and be like, what on earth has gotten into you? That coupled with just feeling, I feel so hormonal. I finished the Is It Normal podcast, like fully I have listened to every single episode. I cannot recommend it enough. If you ever get pregnant, you must listen. Between that and my positive birthing company cause I've learned so much, like so much more than I would have in antenatal. I don't know if anyone else feels that way. It was lovely in the first trimester when I wasn't really like telling anyone and I have a lot of friends that have had babies so I had no one to talk to and no one that really understood what was going on. It was just so nice to like have a week by week that I could listen to, it was just the best. But yeah, I just listened to the last episode and just felt so emotional because there's literally nothing left. I'm clearly just, I'm a bit too hormonal for my own good. I also just, I'm planning like the last bits of my baby shower and I'm just getting so emotional just like the thought of like everyone being there and I don't know, it's just gonna be so like nice and cozy. It's real family vibes, it's just gonna feel so nice. I hope the weather is nice because we do have like a little outside option if it is, which would be so stunning. I think that's my makeup done for the day. I might add a little bit more later. I go between at the moment between like, I just wanna be minimal makeup, that's what looks better on me right now and then like a full glam. But we don't have time for a full glam right now because I actually need to go and meet my mom and do some like life admin, very, very boring. And then I am going to come home, do some house bits and I will be back with you then because no one needs to join me for the life admin. I have a bank appointment, which is gonna be very dull. Good afternoon. I have just finished doing some essential pregnancy yoga because I cannot tell you the amount of pain that I am in, in the pelvic area right now. Like I had to just stop and do some emergency yoga Just know the behind the scenes of this vlog are just me in random places around my house. Like I was literally just on the floor here, just doing a random yoga pose and I'll just then go back to doing something completely normal. But if you are pregnant and watching this and you're just like, I'm not okay, how is she okay? I'm not okay, I'm not okay. But I'm just not gonna film myself doing random yoga poses with my bum in the air. Anyway, I have got a little PR package I thought I would unbox with you. And this is such a funny one because my husband's friend was over from Nashville literally a couple of weeks ago and he has quite cool style. He's just very cool. And he said to us, he was like, do you like my new shoes? And I looked and they were Crocs. And I just know like the type that my friends wear to like work or whatever, the cute little things that stick on them. I literally hadn't seen a pair of sandals like this. I was like, they are very chic. And then do you know who ended up in my DMs? It was so strange. Oh my God, this is so fun. This is gorgeous. I should not be lifting this to be honest, but look at the color of that suitcase. Oh my God, stunning. Did someone say hospital bag? That is beautiful. If you don't know, Shay Mitchell's brand. Oh my God, it is so cute. This is such a cute sandal, I am obsessed. Oh my God, she is beauty, she is grace. Wow, oh my goodness, thank you. It's not even too big. Like this is actually, I don't have a suitcase this size. It's a nice little wee carry on, gorgeous. Wow, thank you Crocs. Fun finding. Oh my God, no, that's so cute. No, they sent me, oh my God. They sent me both of those that I like. Wow, this is everything my neutral dreams are made of. If you know, you know. Stop, I'm obsessed. I'm gonna have to hide these when Lauren comes over next because she will steal these from me. These are the cutest little sandal. I love them. You guys know I'm a beach girlie. I love my saunas on the beach. I love my barbecues on the beach. These are an amazingly cute little summer shoe. No, I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed. These are my little cycle shorts, my little unitard. Even with actually what I'm wearing right now, I'm gonna get so much wear out of these. These are also so nice, look at them. They match my nails. Oh my God, love. Gonna get so much wear out of both of these. I'm very much in love with these because they've got a little bit of a wedge, a little bit of height, which you guys know is very important to me. Thank you so much to the Crocs team for sending those over. I am in love. I'm also currently campaigning for a post baby holiday. So I'm hoping I'll get lots and lots of wear out of them before the summer is out. Oh my God, I can take my suitcase off. What a vibe. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Sorry for the feet shot. However, please appreciate my fresh money. But these are outrageously comfortable. I don't think I've ever put something so comfy on my feet. Oh my God, no, stop. I love them. They go so nicely with a white trouser or a white jean, I think. Oh my God, I love them so much. These little sandals are so good as well. Oh my God, I love them. Just really delicate, really easy to literally pair with anything. I feel like both pairs of sandals will just work really well with summer dresses, leggings, literally anything. I feel like I could take any outfit from my wardrobe and just pair them with them. Yeah, I love these, especially if I'm wearing something that's like not long on the leg and I don't need a lot of extra length. So gorgeous. These are just so me. You need to know what's on my feet forever now. It's one of these two pairs. I am about to make a little dinner. We're gonna have a little one pound rice kind of situation. But I'll quickly show you my nails because I know some of you will be very happy, some of you won't. I went shorter and I know that they don't look short, but they are. They actually are. Like Ryan was like, wow, I love, he does like short nail. He's a classy guy. Shame he married me. Yeah, we have the same Dolly Byer. So much shorter. Like you don't, like the length on them was actually quite vile. You may have seen in last week's vlog, like they were too long. I never plan on them being that long. They just, things kind of got out of hand. Yeah, and I also tried to go for a more round shape. I think these ended up slightly rounder than these. I fear if I'm gonna go for a rounder shape, they need to be longer. Basically, I have really short nail beds. And so if I were to actually cut them to where my finger ends, they'd actually be like this short. It's not cute how little length I have to my nail bed. So they do always look longer than they are. But if you put these on a regular person, these would not actually, like some people, this is their entire nail bed. Not for me, sadly. I have like no, actual no nail bed. It's embarrassing. This is really as short as we're getting. Especially right now with, my fingers are starting to swell, which is not cute. And I do like a little bit of length and point to kind of have a slimming effect. Yeah, this is where we are at. But I thought some of you would be very happy to know that I have in fact gone for a respectable length nail. Sorry, like what on earth? Good morning. Hi, everybody. The Instagram ads are really getting me. Oh my God, it's got strawberries on it. May have to purchase that. Boys are great. I was fully prepared to be a boy mom. I have to, I actually have to say, like I had mentally decided that that was what was probably gonna happen. But I can't lie, in terms of the clothing situation, being a girl mom, it's the best. I will enjoy it now, because one day she'll be a teenager and she will maybe hate me. So I'm gonna take the tiny strawberry dresses whilst I can. Anyway. Hi, good morning. It is a Pilates morning, which normally I'd be so excited for, but I don't know what's happened. I'm in so much pain. No one scare me with horror stories, but my bump just feels so sore. Any form of movement hurts. I put my bump support band on for the first time this morning. And then read all the instructions that you can't wear it for that long. Like small periods of time. And I was just like, sorry, what is the point in this? So just don't wear for sustained, no, prolonged periods of time. What does that mean? That's very subjective. So yeah, no idea how long I can actually wear that thing for. So it's kind of useless to me. But yeah, anyway. So I'm in a lot of pain and I don't know if Pilates is gonna make it better or worse, but am I going anyway? Yes. I'm in class to pay for. I will absolutely be going. But also contrary to what I say a lot of the time, my dad didn't raise a quitter. So I will be going and just trying my best. Even if it's just like a nice assisted stretch, which actually will probably do me some good. It will be the most expensive mechanical stretch of my life. Why do I look like a ghost? What is happening? Oh, my settings are crazy. Oh, so much better. Wow. I mean, I still look terrifying, but also I say my dad didn't raise a quitter because early on in my pregnancy, my mom absolutely was like, maybe you should stop exercising. So we can't use the, my mom didn't raise a quitter slogan. She absolutely would love for me to quit everything. But yeah, I actually, I do think a nice little mechanical stretch will actually do me some good. So I am still going. I'm just gonna be very intuitive with this session and not push myself. Might go Kylie skin tint today. I got sent this. I've got the shade 3.5W, which is a really good match for me. It's really nice and light and glowy and I've been liking that. Makeup is done. Just gone for fresh and glowy. This is my go-to pregnancy makeup look. Like just not a lot of mascara, like more heavy on the outer corner than anywhere else. And just bronzer everywhere. I'm gonna put on some fragrance. This is Fleur Heavy Cream. So this is, oh, what's her name? Giselle? There's an influencer and this is her brand. And it's in like Selfridges everywhere. It's so nice. This is so good. I love the name. It's just basically a very vanilla scent. It's quite like a punchy vanilla, which is really nice. Cause I, you know me, I don't like subtle, but the name is just so good. And I always feel like something like this is nice for Pilates class. Smell fresh and clean, but like nothing crazy strong. Gone for a little braid. I had a braid in overnight. Redid it. She's a true Pilates girlie, which I get why. Because it's actually like so many hairstyles interfere with like the reformer bed. So yeah, this is my go-to today. I actually have time for something to eat before Pilates. Wow, good morning. Oh my God. This is my slightly inappropriate for the weather outfit of the day. I originally wanted to wear this like one piece that I'm wearing underneath with, I have a pink wrap top. If you watched last week's vlog, you saw the black wrap top. I have it in pink. It looks so cute, especially with the shoes. However, it's not the weather for the pink wrap top today. It's also not the weather for the one piece either. However, I'm not joking. I'm not doing this because I want to wear the one piece. Every single item of like legging that fits me is in the wash and they're all black. So they're all in the same wash. I don't have anything that fits me. Yesterday, I think it was yesterday, was one of those days where I went to get dressed and I was like, wow, was it yesterday? Maybe the day before. Basically without warning, all of my other leggings, everything else that had been fitting me for weeks and weeks and weeks and was absolutely fine. Everything just stopped fitting all at once. Yeah, so I have three sets. I've actually had to order some more leggings because I have a whole three sets that fit me and there's seven days in a week, guys. I'm screwed. Yeah, I have basically my unitards are the only, my little one piece play suit things are the only things that are not in the wash right now. So I'm just going to have to be cold. So I've got my little PLT off shoulder, very baggy jumper on. Got my little Jo Malone tote, my Crocs on. These are so like an unreal level of comfort, guys. And a great Pilates shoe because I can just get there and put my socks on. Don't have to faff with trainers and laces and all of that. Jewelry wise, my earrings are Misoma and my necklace is from Aurelia. Yeah, that is the OOTD. I'm back from Pilates. Ryan's making me a cup of tea, which is very nice of you because I actually was the one that was like, I'll make tea and then bless him. He's just started making it. And I have a H&M order to unbox, which is actually not for me. We have baby things. Get excited. My friend, Nae, who's just given birth, she had a really cute nappy caddy and I was like, where is that from? And she said, from H&M. How adorable. So I've got two of these. Can I just ask? What? This isn't a baby handbag, is it? That's not a baby handbag. It goes in there, right? So I was actually, that I was going to kind of use for multi things. Like if I need to like, have like lots of little bits for her and transport it from like one bag to another or like one place to another. I was like, that's adorable. And that's what I'm going to keep all of her bits in. And yeah, I've got two of these so that I can either have one of them sat under the next to me with loads of essential bits and then one for around the house, but there's one that like doesn't move. Or if I don't tend to use the next to me one actually very much or the around the house one very much because our house layout, we might not need. I'm going to see how we got on. It can go to mum's because mum will probably benefit from having one as well. And she'll love the organizational aspect of it because it comes with lots of little compartments. Oh my God, it's so cute. I love the fact that it's got pockets the whole way around. So we can just store so much in here. It's actually really, like it feels like nice quality as well. So yeah, I've got two of those. And then the baby handbag, as Ryan just called it. She does actually- I need to make it clear that they're obviously not going to know that's a joke they're just going to make. I'm just joking. No, but there's- You know when I'm making dumb jokes. I know when you make, but also- He's so dumb. No, but like not everyone's sense of humor is so different. Like lots of people don't understand when I'm joking and then I sound like I'm actually a moron or like, I don't know, the sarcasm definitely doesn't hit. It makes me bad. Anyway, she does actually have a baby handbag, by the way. Because I got given, I got gifted like a really tiny handbag. It's so funny. It's really small, like so small. Nothing would fit. I think I could fit a single lipstick in it. And I was like, that is, I'm going to keep that for baby doll. That's so funny. But yeah, this is not a baby handbag. Yeah, it's just a really cute little teddy pouch, which I can put a lot of bits in. And then I bought like a million pairs of little tiny person trousers because I realized that's the one thing that like is really missing. We don't have any. We've got all of these like baby grow vest things. And then I was like, what the hell is this girl wearing on her bottom? Just in an assortment of colors. I've got two packs of them. I was like, that will do. I'll go with all the white baby grows, vests and things. Yeah. Two sets of those. I have a spreadsheet and I basically just went through my spreadsheet and I was like, how many do I need of each thing? Ticked it all off. That spreadsheet is looking, it's looking good. Lots of green, which makes me very, very happy. We have some little joggers. These are so cute. No, they're just like an oatmeal color. So cute. Just because, like I said, girl needs to have pants. Can't be walking around with a bum out. Oh, and how cute. Joggers, but with a matching jumper because I wanted her to have some form of outfit. I can have a father-daughter matching situation because Ryan actually does have a tracksuit in this color. Little pink, pink tracksuit bombs. And then a pink hoodie. It's so cute with the ears. We're good for like the cold summer days as well. I did buy this little thing, which I thought was so cute for the summer. It's like a little linen baby grow in a wrap. Oh, I love this set. Apparently you need a few outfits for if you're in the hospital. So I got a little going home set. So it's got a little hat. Little bottoms and then a little baby grow as well. So she can have like a full fit. So I've got that and then I've got the Peter Rabbit one. So between the two, hopefully she'll be okay. And then we'll just have like loads of the white sets for if we were in hospital for a longer stay. And that is it. That's my H&M haul. That is my second to last newborn haul. I have one more thing that I'm waiting to arrive. I ordered the Zara bits that I showed you this morning. But then after that, I'm done buying newborn things because she needs nothing else. And people, I know people are going to buy her things for when she's like three months or like whatever, or for the baby shower. So that's my baby haul for now. Sorry, I think I live in a restaurant. This is gorgeous. Chef Ryan has really outdone himself today. He made this bolognese earlier this morning. What a productive king. However, we have one question for you. What is the appropriate way to serve a spag bowl? Let me put them side by side. A, B, pick your fighter. Yeah, mine, I don't know. Yours, actually, I feel like if I went to ZZ's, I would get A. Yeah, whereas, but this is like a Sharon Bernaldi special. I feel like that's how I used to get it in my grandma's restaurant. Really? This just looks, like that does look very appealing to me, to be fair. I'm now jealous. You can always mix it. I could, I just never, I never mix my food. Is that weird? Anyway, I'm gonna go eat now, bye. Hello, good morning. I'm just getting ready for the day. We've had a little bit of a late start, which is not really ideal because I actually have quite a lot on my to-do list today, but I just, as usual, slept so awfully. The heartburn really was raging on another level last night. I also am just finding in the evenings now, I think it's because my body gets to the point where it's just tired. I'm just in a lot of pain. So I'm just very uncomfortable in the evening. And once that sets in, like getting to sleep is just even harder. So I had a little bit of a sleep this morning because I find my sleep quality between the hours of six and eight, if I can manage it, is like really good. Sometimes I just get up at like five or six in the morning, but yeah, my sleep quality in those hours is very nice. So this morning it was necessary. So yeah, feeling good. Ryan made me a gorgeous little coffee. I'm ready to crack on with the day. I'm actually procrastinating a little bit, but it's hopefully gonna be worth it. I saw on TikTok this morning when I was having my little morning scroll with my coffee, Miss Kylie Jenner dropped her hair routine. And if you've heard, if you've watched one of the recent vlogs, I definitely mentioned, like I'm obsessed with her hair at the moment. She's got this kind of like blowout look, but it's really like messy and undone. And I just absolutely love it. So I am giving it a go. She dropped the routine. I'm so grateful. Basically, it is kind of what I thought, which is like different, basically curls of all different types, different angles, like the whole shebang. Literally every different curl you can imagine. So a round and straight, like an old school curl. And they always do the ends. And then there's like a wave from the face towards the face. So it's like a mix of classic curls and then beachy waves, but the curl goes all the way to the end. And whereas I thought there might be a roller involved after, there is no roller involved. They actually just leave it, but they showed how to do the top half, which is what I needed. That was what I was really, really struggling with. So we're going to need a curler and a straightener. It's hair wash day. I thought, do you know what? I'll give it a quick go. If it doesn't work out, that's fine, because I'm going to be washing my hair tonight. It looks an absolute mess, but I felt like this is one of those trust the process situations. This also could go horribly wrong because I've had my hair moussed for days now. I'm not going to spend too long faffing with this. I'm just going to like do it and hope for the best because I'm actually going to see my friend who has just had her baby. Well, I say just. He's actually like a month old now, but I'm going to go take her some lunch today. Got to make sure the girl is fed, you know? It is really starting to rain and I'm now fully questioning why I'm doing this, but all in the name of hair research. I must know if this works. Right, now for top layer. This is very important. So what they did is use a straightener because allegedly it stops the hair going too flat. However, I have moussed my hair, like I said, so this might not go beautifully. So you make a little like flick and then do the curl. That's so cute, wow, okay. Top bit and then we're going to alternate different curl directions so that we just get a more natural look on top. I forgot how good using a straightener is for doing curls. I need to do this more. I feel like these front bits could have gone better if I didn't have leftover mousse still in them. Also, please excuse the noise. This is my karma for all of my years of renovating. The neighbors are all looking at our house thinking that's a good idea. I don't know, it's cute. I feel like it needs a little zhuzh, but I think this could be cute. Just gave the front bits a little brush out so that we could get rid of a bit more of the mousse, but this is so much, excuse the boobs, this is so much better than the last time I tried it. If you remember in a previous vlog with the rollers, I feel like you can see it in one of the thumbnails. Yeah, I think this is so much better. Also my hair is darker now, which I feel like just makes a hairstyle like this like hit so different. This is the nesting level that we are at. I'm about to do something I never do, which is attempt to batch cook something. And I say attempt because like I said, I never ever do it. It's only one pot for this kind of situation. I am trying to get into the swing of batch cooking. I'm like a, I don't do that. I just cook as I fancy it, whatever. I'm well aware that that's not the way my life is gonna go going forward. It's not gonna be practical. So seeing as earlier this week, I said I really wanted to like do some cooking. I really feel like doing that. Just want to like be in my house. Just want to do all the thing. I just want to do all the like cute domestic-y things. Even though my admin to-do list that I need to get done before my night leave is the longest list in the entire universe. This is calling me. So we're gonna do that. And I'm actually gonna take some to my friend for lunch so that she has lunch. I wanna make sure she's getting nutrients. Do I have stock? That is very important actually. This could ruin my whole day. Yes, starting. Here's some I prepped earlier. So we have got a mix of peppers, red onion, tomatoes. And then we'll whiz it up. I might have to do this in two goes because there's quite a lot. Definitely a two go situation, but that's okay. Also, my outfit today is giving nothing fits and I'm very aware, I'm very aware. I actually, at this point, by the way, I'm refusing to buy more clothes because we're just a month out and I just am refusing. I can't do it anymore. There you go. Round two. I mean, when am I gonna learn my lesson? Never. I don't know why I still insist on cooking on the back hob when I am so pregnant that I can't reach the back hob. I think this is the biggest batch of soup I've done in a very long time. But to be honest, I could have done more. Maybe we should make this amount to meal prep for a week but like add like rice to it or something. Or like little bits of pasta. Oh, that's so good. I don't feel like it needs much. I'm gonna add a bit of balsamic. That'll do. A tiny bit of garlic. All right. We need head chef to come and taste test this and sign it off before I feed another human being. I'm doing the soup. Please, can you come taste test it? Love you, bye. I actually feel like such a domestic queen right now. Like I don't think I've ever taken home cooked food, home cooked food to someone else's house. I have a whole baguette that I'm gonna turn up with. Poor queen. This is really giving. She's about to be someone's mom, isn't it? Here he comes. My head chef, come to taste test. I think it's like, it tasted really good all on its own. Like I've just added like a tiny bit of other things in but I think it's good. Yeah, it's nice. Did you have cream cheese? No, I actually haven't yet. I didn't wanna blow Nae's face off if she was like breastfeeding. Just been doing the start of packing my hospital bag. I'm using the little suitcase Crocs sent me. Very, very handy. It's got so many compartments. I'm gonna go through this all in a video once we figure out what the birth plan like fully is. But right now we are actually prepping for a longer stay. TBC. After next Sunday, I'll be able to properly update you which is why I'm just gonna, I'm gonna talk through like birth plan slash hospital bag all in one video. Just one whole separate video, especially if you're not into like the hospital bag stuff. If you're not pregnant, it's like super, super not interesting. So I don't know, some people find it interesting but I'm aware some of you don't. But yeah, my birth plan may be going out the window. So we are kind of prepping for a longer hospital stay than we were originally. So hence the mini bags. For everyone that was telling me I'm gonna be in and out in like eight hours, I fear you may be wrong but we will see. We'll see. Good evening, everybody. I am just about to take my makeup off and get ready for bed. I've actually had a very productive evening. I'm very proud of myself. On Thursdays, I am normally on dinner duty, Rowan goes to football and today, bless him, he was so sweet and he made dinner during the afternoon so that I didn't have to make dinner this evening. And I could just get on with the monumental amount of admin that I mentioned that I have to do before I go on my leave and I've got so much done. Oh, that's so good. Like I am so near the end now. I'm incredibly happy about it. Some of these things have been on my to-do list for like years as well. And it was something that like needed to be done because if I don't do it before I have a baby, I'm probably never going to do it. So yeah, it just feels like a nice big weight off my shoulders to finally have this admin list get very, very small. And I did it all whilst watching, is it season 17 of the Kardashians, which is just one of the best, is it season 17? It's the one where Khloe and Kylie are both pregnant and it's just like, I don't know, it's such a vibe. It's so great watching that whilst you're also pregnant. Khloe pregnant is just a vibe. Like so many good quotes that come out of her mouth. It's just great. Anyway, this is probably where I'm going to leave you guys for this vlog. I don't, this vlog could be five minutes long. It could be 50. I'm really not sure at this point. I feel like we need to wrap it up. I need to start a fresh one. So I will be back with you very, very soon. I hope you guys have enjoyed this. Yeah, love you, bye.
