  • Happy Father’s Day to this amazing man. I don’t know where I would have been this week without him. You may have noticed I’ve been quiet this week, this is because I was admitted back into hospital on Wednesday with a very serious internal bleed. I have been so unwell & needed two blood transfusions. This man has been my rock. He’s an awesome Dad and my best friend. He’s also a mean Lego builder & toy super-gluer extraordinaire. What more could you ask for? #pbloggeruk #pbloggers #ukparentbloggers #lifeupclose #fathersday #marriage
  • I can’t believe this little man will be a week old tomorrow. We are all completely smitten, newborn hugs are the best! I’d forgotten what a whirlwind the early newborn days can be. From cluster feeding, lack of sleep and just recovering from birth or in my case a c-section. I’m more sore than I remember being before. But there’s also a small part of me that’s sad that this will be our last time too #newborn #newbaby #6daysold #ukparentbloggers #pbloggers #pbloggeruk #lifeupclose #littlefierceones
  • This totally melted my heart today. Logan made a card for Bodhi at school. It says ‘best brother forever’. ‘Bodhi I love you at school I miss you’ ❤️❤️❤️❤️ moments like this make all the hard times worth it. So adorable and definitely going in the keepsake box #ukparentbloggers #newbaby #newborn #siblings #lifeupclose #littlefierceones #family #pbloggers #pbloggeruk
  • Meet Bodhi ❤️😍❤️😍 born today at 9.11am weighing 8lbs & 14ozs. He such cuddly little thing with chubby cheeks. I won’t lie the c-section was hard going, but cool fact for you the anaesthetist that did the operation was Dr. Barnado’s great (can’t remember how many greats) grandson - how cool is that?! Bo’s now met his brother and sister and fingers crossed we can go home tomorrow 🤞 #newborn #birthday #postnatal #newbaby #pbloggers #pbloggeruk #ukparentbloggers
  • My last pregnant picture. Well, ever. As we don’t plan on having any others after this. And tomorrow we go into hospital for my planned c-section. I have to say the nerves have seriously kicked in. This will be my third c-section and they don’t get any easier. But very much looking forward to holding baby boy in my arms #pregnancy #thirdtrimester #39weekspregnant #9monthspregnant #pbloggers #lifeupclose #ukparentbloggers
  • This is one of my favourite photos of Ben & I taken at Lake Louise in Canada, 7 years ago when I was pregnant with Logan. Today is our 11th wedding anniversary. 2 awesome children and another one imminent! Been a rocky couple of days as I went down with the stomach flu on Friday but starting to feel better now thank goodness! #weddinganniversary #11yearanniversary #parentingbloggers #ukparentbloggers #marriage #pbloggers #lifeupclose #pregnancy

  • We’ve been working really hard to get all the decorating done in our house before the baby comes (5 sleeps to go!). Today I finished Aria’s room, it is distinctly pink, with unicorns and a canopy over the bed. Suffice to say Aria is delighted with it! And my 4 year old self might be a little jealous 😉 #ukparentbloggers #myhome #lifeupclose #littlefierceones #parentingbloggers #pbloggers #pbloggeruk
  • How’s everyone’s half term going? Ours didn’t have the best of start with Logan vomiting Friday night, then we went out for lunch yesterday for my birthday & had to leave early as Aria was feeling poorly & then she spectacularly vomited all over the car 😷. So a chilled day here today of films & craft & Lego. Hoping that’s the end of it now and my husband and I have bypassed it 🙏🙏 #halfterm #parentingbloggers #lifeupclose #ukparentbloggers #littlefierceones #siblings
  • Aria has been desperate to make music like her Dad and brother, so she got her very own pink ukulele for her birthday. At the moment she has been playing it to her dolls 😍😍 #music #ukulele #littlefierceones #lifeupclose #ukparentbloggers #parentingbloggers
