Last night I found myself down a photo hole. I for Last night I found myself down a photo hole. I forgot just how many fun things we used to be able to do - this weekend we went away for Adam's birthday to @elmleynature. I've wanted to go back ever since but it's always booked up, and understandably so tbh! 

It was one of my favourite trips away and I went on a few in 2018. We watched a series on the laptop, drank tea, went on walks and just watched the landscape from the window, snuggled up in bed, because it was quite a cold November.

Simple pleasures but it was just what we needed. I live in hope we'll be allowed to do things like this again this year!

4 months of you, Littlest. No longer a newborn and 4 months of you, Littlest. No longer a newborn and we're equally so sad and so happy about that - you're growing so fast!!

This month has consisted of: leap 4 grumbles, trying to roll over, wanting to sit up SO badly, lots of turn taking, blowing raspberries and the most infectious little laugh I've ever heard. 🤎

No school for Isla for the foreseeable. That's fin No school for Isla for the foreseeable. That's fine, we can cope with that. We've been through it once, we can do it again.

Right now though, I'm feeling really, REALLY gutted - I had all these grand plans in my head of everything we were going to do once Casey arrived and it's becoming more and more likely that our year together is not going look like that. 

It will get easier. We'll find things to make it memorable but I'll allow myself to wallow for a bit because it's still heartbreaking.

Sending love to anyone struggling with the news of Lockdown 3.0 - my DMs are always open, so please reach out if you're having a tough time. ✨

A particular shout out if you're a teacher and having to compile a shit tonne of home learning for your class right now - you're amazing and I promise you, your hard work does NOT go unnoticed. 🧡

I remember sitting there for a while, staring at the floor, thinking about how lucky I felt for getting the chance to be a mum again.

I had to sit at my desk the entire day with this new information, before I ran out the door at 5.30 to surprise Adam with a handful of tests! We both stood in the kitchen entrance, hugging each other, both teary and unbelievably excited for the journey that lay ahead of us. 

Fast forward 9 months and we had little Casey Asher, who has just been the perfect addition to our family. I can't wait to see what the next 9 months has in store for us all and how much he'll change in that time. ✨🧡

I know everyone is going to be doing these but f*c I know everyone is going to be doing these but f*ck me, this year right? 
We went to South Africa, we had three lockdown birthdays, I was pregnant for the majority of 2020 and gave birth in the midst of the madness, but we got the most incredible little boy out of it. 

My brain has been fuzzy the entire year and so many of you will have felt the same, if not worse. But if you're struggling, please remember that you've made it through 2020 - you're stronger than you give yourself credit for and trust me, things will get better. ✨

MY 2021 GOALS:

•i won't feel bad for telling people no, when my mental load is overflowing.
•try and make me a priority.
•bake more.
•stifle my personality less.

Loneliness & Pregnancy in a Lockdown

I have to say, I planned on documenting this pregnancy week by week, but I guess it’s true what they say – there is way less time to do all of these little keepsake updates after baby #1. Despite being in lockdown, I still have a house, a 7 year old child and other things that need doing and that take priority. Like my first pregnancy, I wanted to make sure I had weekly bump photos – not even for anyone else but myself, but right now, that’s just a “do as and when I remember” right now.

 


I have to admit, the last month has been surreal – between pushing to work from home, then working from home and tending to a child with additional needs, school work and being pregnant, it’s been an adjustment. I won’t go into using what now feels like buzz phrases: “time of uncertainty,” “unprecedented times”, etc, but it really does feel that way – I’ve just been saying that it’s a lot.

There’s not really any other way to describe this entire situation whilst being pregnant, because it’s been just that; a lot.

Despite being an introvert and thriving on being in my own space with my family, it’s been incredibly difficult not having the chance to spend my time with the rest of my family or seeing my friends. I’m sure if you’re currently expecting, or having just had a baby, you can relate – it is incredibly lonely.

The first three months were a whirlwind, with not being able to talk about it openly, you still feel on your own and now I’m right back at square one. I was looking forward to regular catch ups with my friends, baby shopping, scans (and now I’ll be going to those appointments on my own too), a shower perhaps, antenatal classes but not for the breathing – for the relationships that I could build on with other expectant mums beyond pregnancy. You’re back to feeling so lonely once that baby is born and having people around you in the same situation is incredibly comforting.

I can do week by week updates on Instagram until my head explodes, but it just isn’t the same as sharing the excitement with your friends and family. My first pregnancy was tinged with disappointment and sadness because of my age and educational situation. This time round I was so excited for this pregnancy to be completely different – the way it should have been, really. So I do apologise if you’re already sick of me talking about it all; it just isn’t the same sharing photos of your growing bump vs squealing about it with your best friends.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m trying to stay positive – I’m so grateful for the other pregnant ladies on Instagram who regularly message to tell me how they’re feeling and how we’re all in the same boat, for having a partner who is doing all he can to make sure I’m comfortable and for friends who check in with me as much as possible.

Unfortunately “in these unprecedented times”, I’m just going to have to deal with the fact that it’s not the pregnancy I envisioned, but we are all healthy and that’s what I need to remember.
