So last week myself and 9 other brave ladies stripped off in a field of Sunflowers to raise awareness of traumatic births. Carly, thefitmummytotheo, was the brains behind it & we all met up and had a lovely breakfast together afterwards! I’ve made no secret of Jack’s hard labour, I…
The days and weeks go so much faster the second time around, I feel like I’m blinking and Jack is growing by the minute. There isn’t enough hours in the day to achieve everything that needs to be done but it’s a good day if both boys go to bed…

It isn’t easy in the beginning.. The first two weeks are toe-curling, but if you can survive them it’ll get 100x easier from then on after. Imagine a dozen tiny piranhas going at your nipple and your on the right track.. After a bad labour it is especially fucking painful,…
If I had wrote this post 5 weeks ago, it would of been horrendously negative and I wouldn’t of seen any light at the end of the tunnel.. BUT there is, I am living proof that your vagina WILL stop aching and those gigantum maxi pads will not be needed…
☁️ Oh Jack, a month of you darling! You’ve slotted into our lives so easily it’s like you’ve always been here, dreaming of baby Kev has been replaced with growling cuddles from you, last week you were 9lb 6oz, I wonder what you’ll be next weigh in. You make your…
I keep blaming my lack of remembering to do things on the fact that I am still not ‘back into the swing of things’, oh & the fact that Jack is obviously only 4 weeks new.. My to do list seems to be never ending, a bit like Jack’s sudden…
The weeks are flying, I don’t remember it going so fast with Frankie but then again I didn’t have a 3 year old that likes 6am wake up calls and dictating me about then. I’ve managed to breast feed Jack for almost four weeks and I couldn’t be prouder, this…
Jack has been with us for just over two weeks, that’s it just two weeks but it feels like he has always been here. It’s weird isn’t it how you spend 9 months growing them, unknowing to you how they’ll look or act and when they’re here it’s just natural…
I didn’t think two things were possible when I had Jack:That I would be able to share my love enough for both, I was wrong, Jack has slotted into our lives into a gap I didn’t know was there. To all those Mums worrying, your love doesn’t half, it doubles.…
Jack came into the world on Friday 31st May at 08:31am, weighing 7lb 8oz. My heart has never been as full as it has been these past two weeks, I can’t get my head around how quickly time goes when you have a newborn, especially when you already have a…
Kally Sleep were kind enough to send me the Pregnancy Maternity Pillow to review & my only wish was that I had found them sooner! As you may know from reading and following my blog that I have struggled with my back and sciatica throughout my pregnancy and for the…
Oh my god. How hot has the last few weeks been? If my waters break then I am going to literally cry at pushing Kev out in this heat! I cannot believe I am 38 weeks pregnant, the same week I gave birth to Frankie but baby Kev isn’t showing…
I keep getting asked what we’re using for baby this time around so here are some of the bits I’ll be using for baby & some new that I’ve bought: Sleeping We used the Chicco Next 2 Me Bedside Crib for Frankie & we will use it again for baby.…

Since going on maternity leave I have got myself into gear, baby shower has been and gone, boys bedroom is ready and set up, baby clothes washed and arranged & hospital bag is packed! I am so relaxed and happy to be on maternity leave, I definently needed to stop…
Now I’m on maternity leave, I have finally packed my hospital bag. Despite being my second pregnancy, I had absolutely NO memory of what I packed to have Frankie so I’ve followed both the Emma’s Diary and Boots websites for guidance on what to pack! & thought it would be…
