27 things I’ve learned in my 27th year:
1. Every year really does get better.
2. Being pregnant is not easy for the faint hearted.

8. C-section is my preferred way of giving birth.
9. Wedding invites have become baby shower invites.
10. Some friends are seasonal and some are forever.
11. You will always learn who your true friends are in times of need. Everyone is around for the good times.
12. Jealousy is rife, and it is the route of all evil. And really isn’t necessary.
13. Being a mom is the best and most rewarding feeling in the world.
14. Being pregnant gives everyone permission to touch your belly.

18. You can achieve a cum laude post graduate degree if you aren’t naturally clever (and suffering from morning sickness!)
19. 4D scans during pregnancy are exact replica photographs of your baby.
20. Not finding out the sex of your unborn baby is the best surprise!
21. Friday, the 13th is a lucky day for us.
22. Beacon white Easter eggs are the most delicious chocolate.
23. London is a great holiday destination but not a great place to live.
24. Instagram and Twitter are the new the trends, and highly addictive.
25. Carbs and sugar do not go hand in hand with weight loss.
26. Being a teacher is hard work, a lot of preparation and not a half day job.
27. Babies can sleep through the night from 9 weeks.
