  • This mama doesn’t get many chances to be self indulgent anymore, so just let me have this moment ok 😂💁🏼‍♀️ This afternoon I took a trip in to Leeds for a @nudebynature make up masterclass in Boots hosted by the amazing @clintdowdell.makeup. I am no beauty expert, so I picked up some great make up tips, learned so much about the brand and got a full makeover (which was SUCH a treat to say most days I don’t even get to pee in private let alone do my make up). Thanks to @harlequinnlegrotesque for giving me my glow back ✨ #thathighlightthough #nudebynaturexboots #pressevent
  • That little tush! 🐼 Our sweet boy is now 5 months corrected and 8 months old, getting ready to be on the move. Most parents seem to wish their baby would ‘stop growing so fast’ and ‘stay little’, but that’s definitely not the case for me. I can’t relate to that kind of thing at all. I don’t want to slow down time. I want to be as far away from our time in NICU as possible. Seeing Theo get bigger and thrive is my biggest joy and main purpose right now. Our next weigh day is this Wednesday! 🤞🏼 Thanks so much to @uniquequilts for Theo’s beautiful play mat #25Weeker #MicroPreemie
  • Practising copying faces 😮😄😬 So it turns out being a Mum is basically just acting, dancing and singing neurotically all day to try and get smiles out of your baby. Current funny bone tickler is watching me leap frog across the room 🐸 My neighbours definitely think I’ve lost the plot. Anyone else? #21WeeksCorrected
  • The reality behind this photo is not predictable. It is a new Mum who was separated from her baby from the moment he was born. A new Mum who had to wait +4 months before she could bring her baby home. A new Mum who has been left with anxiety, post natal depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Behind this photo is a baby who was born 15 weeks early, and had to fight for every breath. A baby who has overcome a life threatening bowel disease with 3 surgeries (and has the tummy scars to prove it). A baby who defied all of the odds and ‘worst case scenarios’ we were given by doctors. Today, you would never guess our story if you saw us on the street. My introduction to motherhood has not been conventional, but it has taught me so much about what is important. Theo and I were the only two people who spent every single 109 of those days together in hospital, and because of that we have the strongest bond. On days like today when I didn’t even make it out of the house (and feel like I didn’t achieve much), I just need to remind myself how far we’ve come. Theo, you are my greatest achievement yet 🌟🌳 (Shot by @korm87)
  • Sunday afternoon feels 😴💕 This kid got lucky with Daddy’s lashes and Mummy’s lips. We’ve had a bit of a tough week with Theo. He caught a cold which has put him off his feeds and spiked my anxiety. Then he gave me the cold 🤧 For a preemie mum obsessed with her baby’s weight gain, this has been an extra stress but we think he’s on the mend now 9 days in 🤞🏼🍼 We’ve also been busy planning our first family mini break to Whitby in September, booking via @cottagescom. We’ve found a gorgeous little coastal cottage in the town centre of Whitby which will be our base for exploring the coast. We’ve been told to bring the baby carrier as Whitby is full of cobbles (not ideal for prams but we will take our @babyzenuk). Does anyone else have any tips for Whitby or advice for going on a mini break with a baby? I am a travel blogger but this is brand new territory for me! 👶🏻🌊 #20WeeksCorrected
  • (AD - Gifted) I’m finally getting more confident with getting out and about independently with my boy, so I took him out for a spin in our new travel pram. The @babyzenuk YOYO+ is so lightweight and compact that it packs into a bag that you can wear over your shoulder (no seriously! Swipe for proof). It converts from newborn cot to seated pram, which we think Theo is nearly ready for. We won’t be going abroad with Theo just yet, but when we do the pram will fit in the overhead lockers, meaning we can whizz him through the airport with ease. But for the moment it’s proving to be a great city pram and is ideal for our UK weekends away 🌟👶🏻 Shot by @korm87 #babyzenyoyo
