I am often baffled when people say “having a toddler is harder than having a baby”. For me, the age Theo is now is hands down the most rewarding, magical and fun so far.

As we hurtle towards his second birthday this week, I am feeling a cocktail of emotions. But the strongest one of all is pride 🥰✨

Early 2nd Birthday celebrations for our wonder boy

Early 2nd Birthday celebrations for our wonder boy 🎈 We’ve just got back from a short break to @altontowers, staying overnight at the Enchanted Village.

As we can’t throw Theo a party this year, it was the perfect birthday treat. Seeing the sheer wonder on his face (like in this photo) was by far the best bit. Theo absolutely loved Cebeebies Land and we even got to squeeze in a few rollercoasters for Mum and Dad too. Would anyone be interested in a blog post about visiting Alton Towers with a toddler or a review of the Enchanted Village?

Ad - I am really happy to help spread the news that today @tuclothing has launched its first premature baby clothing range, in sizes from 2lb to 4lb 🌟

In my mission to raise awareness about prematurity awareness, it feels like a major win to see a huge retailer such as Tu acknowledge the topic and provide a helpful solution for babies and parents going through a difficult time.

The collection is in partnership with @blisscharity, the UK’s leading charity for babies born sick or premature.

Despite contending with the wires, tubes and incubator portholes, getting to dress Theo in his first 2lb vest meant a lot. It gave us a tiny aspect of normality as new, first-time parents. It was a little part of his caregiving we could do ourselves, amongst all the intervention and medical care.

Products like these give premature babies the comfort and dignity they deserve and are a psychological comfort to the parents. At the time Theo was born, premature clothing sizes were very hard to get hold of, so I am glad current and future parents will have this range as an accessible option.

The range is now available at tu.co.uk and in selected Sainsburys stores. Thank you @tuclothing for thinking of our amazing premature babies #TuPremature @mumsnet 💕

I feel every word of this quote 💕 Yesterday was

I feel every word of this quote 💕 Yesterday was #WorldMentalHealthDay, so I thought I’d share an update on my own mental health. As @mattzhaig said yesterday, it should no longer be brave to speak about mental health anymore. It should be the norm 💭📢

I had never struggled with mental health before Theo’s premature birth. But after his 109 day hospital admission, I was left with PTSD, post-natal anxiety and post-natal depression. I was quite literally a shell of myself.

They often say the magnitude of having a premature baby doesn’t hit you until you get them home and boy, “they” were right. I knew I needed help and began seeing a therapist for cognitive behavioural therapy. It helped me to understand how my brain was working and it really helped me to rationalise my thoughts (but what worked for me may not work for others).

Now as we approach Theo’s 2nd birthday, this quote feels so fitting. I’m not saying I’m “fixed”, but I definitely feel as If I’ve come out of the darkness. I am finally experiencing all the joys of motherhood in full colour and feel like a better, stronger, more appreciative version of myself.

Trauma never really leaves you, but you can find ways to cope with it and most importantly, process it. If this resonates with anyone, my inbox is always open for a chat 💕🌍

There’s a new blog post on The Travelista, packed with all the info you need to plan your own holiday to North Devon. I’ve shared our 7-day travel diary including where visited, where we stayed, where we ate and all the best beaches in the area.
