Yes, you read that right! A pregnancy update! If you missed it on Instagram, I recently announced we’re having our third baby! I’m pregnant with Baby #3! I should really get out of the habit of calling it Number 3 because I have a feeling that name will stick…a little like The Umbrella Academy …
I had high hopes for writing weekly pregnancy updates since I shared the news we’re expecting our third baby. I thought I’d be sharing all the nitty gritty details, the highs, the lows and everything in between. I thought I would have written pages of pregnancy updates already but here we are with the 16 …
In just a matter of months I’ll be having my third baby so it’s only natural I’m beginning to think about giving birth and birth stories! During my first two pregnancies I loved reading other women’s birth stories and relished in the gory details – both positive and negative. I’m a firm believer that the …
In October I’m expecting my third baby and my mind is already turning to my self-employed maternity leave. It isn’t easy to manage maternity leave when you work for yourself but I did OK with my first two babies and plan to do something similar again. I took my maternity leave the opposite way around …

Next week I’ll be going into hospital for my third elective cesarean. I’ve written a lot of packing posts for The Travel Hack but, unsurprisingly, this is my first packing post for going into hospital! Despite it being my third cesarean I’ve still loved reading blog posts, watching YouTube videos and trawling the internet looking …
This post contains affiliate links. I have a confession to make today. I am an Amazon Prime addict. I order something via Amazon Prime almost everyday. I know, I think that sounds bad when I say it out loud too, but I’m not a crazy shopaholic, honest! It’s always stuff we need and I …
You may have seen that I’ve set myself a challenge to create 31 new blog posts. I had this wonderful vision of writing a new blog post every day but it’s taken me an entire week to get this one live! So I guess lesson number one should be that you don’t get a lot …
If you’re expecting a baby then I’m sure you’ll feel a little overwhelmed at some point when you start thinking about all the things you need to do, buy, read, prepare and learn! I’m expecting my third baby and I’m having moments of panic when I think about it! It’s an absolute minefield trying to …
