When you wake up before your child for once and actually have time for more than a Mum bun and activewear... Winning! 😜
I have to remind myself that I’m not always that haggard looking dairy cow I catch sight of in the mirror at 3am. #lifewithanewborn #newmum

I used to spend my Friday nights with a bottle of wine and cute boy (@john__ill). These days things haven’t changed that much except the bottle is milk and the cute boy is much, much smaller 😝 #lilbabyill

Tommy has moved from the bath to the shower this week.
He loved it, while I was a panicky mother who felt the need for a pre-shower meeting to make sure @john__ill had proper hold techniques so he didn’t drop him (As if he ever would) 🙈😝#whoevenamianymore?
Anyone else find their baby was much calmer in the shower?

T is for Thomas 🥰
Oh how sentimental I’ve become 🙈

@john__ill takes the “sleep when the baby sleeps” rule VERY seriously 😴🥰
Thankfully John and I have actually been managing pretty well with our sleep thanks to a very hands on Dad (and supportive partner) and a little tag team schedule we’ve worked out.
I go to bed around 10pm and John has Tommy and does his feeds until midnight. He doesn’t usually need another feed again til around 2am so we’ve both been able to get small solid blocks of sleep and John gets some father son bonding time.
It’s made such a difference to our mental sanity and we’re able to function so much better during the day 👊🏻

Health and well-being has always been something that’s pretty important to me. While I don’t swear off the use of traditional medications entirely however I do like to take a more holistic approach and try natural remedies first to cure any common ailments I might have.
Recently I have been trialing special essential oil combinations from @wellnessondriftwood to assist with both my postpartum health and to ease any sleep, tummy and airway issues for little Tommy.
I’d love to hear if anyone else has used (or uses) essential oils for health and wellbeing and how you found them. So far they’ve definitely been relaxing 😌

12TH OF JUNE // Today was supposed to be my due date for Thomas. This photo was taken by @john__ill exactly 2 minutes after he was pulled from my body and placed in my arms for the very first time.
I was exhausted, sweaty, bleeding and broken but I didn’t feel any of it in that moment.
Babies rarely come on time but never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that Tommy would decide to arrive three weeks early and with anything less than a long 20+ hr labour (He arrived after just 5hrs of labour). The last three weeks have been full of broken sleep, milk stains, nappy changes, some tears (his and mine) but mostly a whole lot of love 🥰
The only thing I’m upset about is being deprived of my last three weeks of pregnancy binge eating 😒😝
Happy 3 weeks of life my little Tommy Boy Ox
#lilbabyill

@john__ill is back at work today so Tommy and I have lost a team member. Tommy and I have lots to chat about though so that should keep us busy til Dads home. #lilbabyill #babybubble

Sure he looks like a sleeping angel now but what about at 4am this morning when he wanted to have D&M’s til 6am? 😕 I haven’t done that since I was in my 20’s and there was lots of alcohol involved 😝
You’re lucky you’re cute Tommy boy ☺️ #lilbabyill

Got out with @john__ill today for my first beer since falling pregnant.
Pumped all morning to allow myself a 3hr window and honestly that first sip was just as good as I remember ☺️... Of course I felt pretty buzzed after just a few sips #lightweight 😂🙈
It was actually really nice to get out with my little family and feel a little more “normal”.
Speaking of normal, thanks to @nourishedatelier for freshening my hair last night. It’s those little things that are helping me to feel more like myself (and get out of my pj’s) 😘

They said I would miss my bump after Tommy was born and they were right. Even though pregnancy was hard things were definitely easier when I could carry him around with me this way.
Side Note: I lived in @legoeheritage hoodie during pregnancy and it’s been awesome for breastfeeding afterwards 👌🏻

That look between father and son 🥰 I love watching these two bond during bathtime.
Even cuter, this is the same bath @john__ill had as a baby.
Any other 80’s kids have one? I had one in yellow 🙋🏼‍♀️
