  • When Theo is older we will talk about the scars on his tummy. I will teach him that they are something to be proud of. I will tell him that they make him unique. I will tell him that they make him extra brave. I will tell him that anyone with a scar is very lucky because it means they are stronger than whatever it is they had to fight. I will teach him to be proud of his journey 💕✨ #PreemieStrong #25Weeker
  • What a weekend! 🇬🇧🥰 These girls keep me young. We all live in 3 different corners of the country but whenever were together we cry with laughter like naughty school girls, and will continue to do so when we’re old and grey 👵🏼 Bring on NYC in April 2020! 🇺🇸 #LondonBarBus @naomi_wright17 @fifi_mcmc
  • Mum on the loose in London town! 🇬🇧 In having a baby it’s so easy to neglect yourself and your own needs. I was lucky enough to gain a son, but I lost myself in the process. I feel like I’m entering a new phase of my motherhood journey, which is all about balance. I’m so pleased I decided to do something for ME this weekend and visit my friends in London. Theo has had a lovely weekend with Daddy and Mummy has let her hair down for the first time in a very long time, and I chose not to let any feelings of guilt creep in. Currently whizzing back up to Leeds now on the train. Thanks to my amazing friend @fionafleurdesign for hosting and showing us her amazing work on the #LondonBarBus. Now get me back to my boys! 🚈💨❤️ Mamas, when was the last time you did something for yourself and how do you find balance? #MotherhoodJourney
  • It’s exactly 6 months since Theo’s due date, which means he is 6 months corrected today! 🎉💫 He’s developing such a cheeky, loveable and determined little personality. Plus, nobody has ever been so happy to see me when I walk in a room! This weekend I am heading down to London for a girls weekend which includes a friends fabulous engagement party. It will be my first weekend away from Theo and I’m going to be honest... although I will miss him so much I can’t wait to have a bit of time for myself, to wear nice clothes, to laugh until I cry, to sip prosecco (and to go out with just a handbag? Sorry what!?). I already know it will be good for my soul 💫🙏🏼. Theo and his Daddy will be spending the whole weekend together so I know he will be in the best of hands. No pressure @scottwh9 😁🤣 Look at how far we’ve come #PreemieStrong #25Weeker

  • This photo makes motherhood look easy. It isn’t easy, and don’t let anyones glossy IG feed convince you otherwise. I’ve had the highest highs and the lowest lows since becoming a Mum. There’s been fear, anxiety, exhaustion, trauma, self-doubt and serious loneliness to contend with. But sometimes, right when I need it, Theo does something that makes every second of this crazy rollercoaster ride worthwhile. In fact, today he gave me a double whammy. Firstly, he reached 12lb 9oz at his weigh in, which means he is finally on the centile chart for his corrected age. A huge milestone and achievement for any preemie 🎉 Secondly, he did first proper giggle, right in the middle of Sainsbury’s no less (swipe to watch with sound ON). Seriously is there any sound in the world better than hearing your baby giggle? Today my heart is full. Today I am grateful for the journey we’ve been on. Today was a good day 💕
