Coach Lex!

I’m so excited its finally here!!  My certificate for my 1st4Sport Level 3 Wakeboard Coaching qualification!  I’ve been working on this course for two years doing classroom days, workshop days, plenty of coaching and assessments as well as the necessary courses that you need to qualify, such as Safeguarding & Protecting Children, DBS checks, First Aid and joining SportCoachUK for full insurance coverage. 

The level 3 was a brand new course when we started it way back when and I’m stoked to be the first person in the UK to complete it! 

I’m so happy its finally done!!!  

If you want to get some wakeboarding qualifications under your belt, head over to BWSW to find out all the info.

6 Weeks to go

Second time around I’m much more blasé about the whole recording the pregnancy thing that we all do first time around.  I have’t written down my emotions and craving in a baby book, I haven’t taken weekly photos of my bump while holding up a “16 weeks'” sign and I haven’t recorded my weight.  Its not that I can’t be bothered, its more that I haven’t had as much time with running around after the toddler and I’ve felt sick most of the time so just could’t be arsed. 

However, I found a couple of photos from my first pregnancy and decided to do a comparison.  

Here I’m 30 weeks in both photos, I can’t believe the difference in the two pregnancies! In the photo on the left I look like I’ve just eaten Christmas lunch, and in the second I look ready to pop. 

IMG_7839Here I am with just six weeks to go.  I thought I was much bigger this time (and I definitely was in the above photo), but at 34 weeks, I’m pretty similar to how I was first time around; just far more uncomfortable as the baby is sitting awkwardly – probably a little preview into what its character is set to be! Fun.

Next comparison will be my due date!
