Hey there, I'm in Auckland too, Kiwi born and bred
The Mexican restaurant your friend is talking about in Wellington is pretty good but it doesn't compare to Mexican Specialties in Ellerslie in Auckland. The place is legendary. They only open for lunch for days a week and dinner three days, and are ALWAYS packed!
I've heard about that place too! I'll have to go there
All I've wanted to eat today has been guacamole. I picked some up from the store and ate it on pizza, toast, etc. lol
Awesome that you're in Auckland as well! Do you know of any good maternity clothing stores? I'm mostly just bloated right now but feel more comfortable in maternity clothes (way less self-conscious lol) I've been getting them from Sylvia Park (Just Jeans and The Warehouse)
I got a couple of knit jerseys from Egg Maternity but they were pretty pricey. But I did wear them afterwards too, and they're back in circulation again now, of course!
But I really struggled to find good places too. I mostly just wore oversized tops and leggings by the middle of second tri onwards anyway! Oh, and a giant tent dress from Miss Crabb, haha. And a friend gave me a bunch of clothes that she got from TopShop Maternity when she went overseas, maybe it's possible to order online?
More important though was that I spent money on maternity clothes that SHOULD have been spent on clothes that were suitable for breastfeeding! I totally forgot about that! If you're planning to BF, definitely look for button-downs or V-neck tops that you'll be able to continue to wear afterwards.
