  • When you realise your baby needs a sun hat for the first time but all you’ve got is a hand-me-down 3 sizes too big 🤣 Sorry son, you pulled it off. We’ll get you another one soon. Happy Easter everyone 🐥🌿
  • I waited for 9 days to hold you in my arms. I waited for 13 weeks to pick you up without the help of a nurse. I waited for 17 long weeks to take you home. Patience has never been my strongest quality, but boy you were worth the wait 😊💫 #TheodoreWilliam #NICUgraduate
  • Next level of #MumLife officially unlocked 🔓🤣 Theo is now big enough to fit inside a carrier so we tried it out for the first time and took a stroll to our extended back garden (@templenewsam). He absolutely loved the carrier and so did I! I think this marks the first of many adventures with my boy 🌿
  • Our cheeky boy weighed in at 7lb 7oz yesterday. That’s a 360g gain in one week! This “25 weeker” is officially thriving and has defied ALL the odds and the ‘worst case scenarios’ we were given in hospital. He amazes us every day. To the mums still in the NICU with their babies, desperately searching the #25weeker hashtag, looking for happy stories, hang in there. I have been right where you are, doing exactly what you are doing. Premature babies are stronger than we will ever give them credit for and yours will continue to amaze you. Take a deep breath, have faith in your baby and trust that everything will work out just as it should. We couldn’t be more proud of our boy. Swipe for a good old Instagram vs Reality #9weekscorrected #TheodoreWilliam 🐘💕
  • And for a brief moment of calm, this new mama felt like she actually had her shit together 🙌🏼 As I sipped on my cappuccino in a bustling cafe with Theo sweetly asleep in his pram, I looked around and thought, ok Jess, you can do this! Its crazy how such simple activities become monumental achievements with a new baby in tow. I used to travel to the other side of the world on my own and think nothing of it. Now I feel overwhelmed by taking Theo to a new destination in our own city. It’s safe to say the boundaries of my comfort zone have massively shifted, but I am still challenging myself to go beyond them. This week Theo and I have been out and about with old friends (@emantle72 & @amydallin1 😊), as well as making new ones (@this_is_my_brave_face 😘). I also started my course of cognitive behavioural therapy so I can start to process everything that has happened and to ease my new anxieties. Each week that goes by I am relaxing a little more into this thing called motherhood and I can’t wait for Theo to be discharged by his outreach nurse so that everything can become a bit less medicalised and regulated. Theo continues to amaze us and we are hoping to hit the 7lb mark at tomorrow’s weigh in! 🙏🏼💕 Tell me something positive that happened to you this week? 💫
  • It’s been a while since I’ve said this but, there’s a new post on the blog! I’m sharing how Instagram has been a help and a hindrance since Theo was born. Instagram gets a bad rep for many reasons, and I’m constantly falling in and out of love with it. But I discovered accounts on here that filled me hope and optimism on my darkest days whilst Theo was in NICU, and for that I am so grateful. In the post I also explain how I plan to strip back how I use Instagram, both as a follower and a blogger. Has an Instagram community ever got you through a hard time?
