Ad - Its #WorldPrematurityDay 💜💓💜

One of the hardest part about having a baby in the neonatal unit is having to say goodbye to them every night. You have to find the strength to leave the most precious part of you behind night after night and leave them in the care of someone else. One thing that really helped me get through the separation was @vcreateneonatal. The nurses would send us sweet videos of Theo with little updates on how he was getting on. We’d be so happy to receive them and we’d watch them back 10 times in a row. With the pandemic resulting in restricted neonatal access for parents, this service is now more important than ever.

I am so proud to be working with @pampersuk_ire on their #PampersForPreemies campaign for a second year running. This year Pampers are working in partnership with @blisscharity and are supporting neonatal units across the UK by donating smart tablets through @vcreateneonatal. vCreate is a secure video sharing platform that helps parents to feel connected with their babies when they are separated.

Comment on this photo with #PampersForPreemies to donate and nominate an NHS Neonatal unit you think would benefit. You can also post your own photo with the hashtag. Every use of the #PampersForPreemies hashtag will trigger an additional donation from Pampers to ensure families can stay connected to their babies at all times.

Thank you! 💜💕

His cheeky grin is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. A few more favourites from Theo’s birthday shoot with @korm87 🍂✨

Celebrating two, celebrating you! ✨🍂 You did

Celebrating two, celebrating you! ✨🍂

You didn’t get a squishy newborn shoot.
On your first birthday you couldn’t eat cake.
Those days weren’t how I imagined,
Little losses that made my heart ache.

But now you’re two, those things don’t matter.
You’re thriving, in your toddler prime.
You’ve exceeded all my wildest dreams,
And you’ve done it all in your own time.

A little ode to Theo. This boy lights up my life 🌟

5 things you need to hear as we go into a second lockdown

1. You’ve done this once before and survived. You can do it again 💕💪🏼

2. We won’t have the summer sunshine this time which means it could feel harder. Keep talking to loved ones and stay connected every day📞🗯

3. Stop consuming any media that is fuelling your anxiety or lowering your mood ☔️🌑

4. Health is wealth 🌿💸

5. This WON’T last for ever. This is a temporary measure so that brighter days can follow. This too shall pass ☀️💫

I’ve basically been giving myself a mental pep talk today and these are the things I’ve been telling myself. Like many people, I am feeling daunted by the impending lockdown. But we are strong and we can get through it. One day at a time. Are you with me? 🤞🏼 (I took this photo in September in Devon)

I am often baffled when people say “having a tod

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?

Watch my story highlight to follow our day and see the Enchanted Village ✨🌿
