  • Have you heard of CMV? No I hadn’t either until I was told just 3 weeks out from delivering this one that I had contracted it and they suspected whilst I was pregnant meaning there was a 10% change of it being passed to my baby and causing him life long problems! Initial exams seem to show we are in the clear but to be safe they wanted to run more tests. So last week we went for an ultrasound of this dude’s brain and will hopefully get the full report this week.... CMV is a viral infection most commonly contracted by those in regularly contact with 1-3 year olds so pretty much every mum of a toddler or daycare worker ... it rarely shows any symptoms in adults and in itself is harmless to either you or a toddler but to an unborn fetus it can have some very serious complications.... education on this is very poor and no one has ever even mentioned this to me until it showed up on my blood work...... so we will see what the future holds but I am all for raising awareness of CMV So other mothers can understand and be prepared #cmv #cmvawareness #cmvbaby #cmvvirus #motherhood #mummy #mumlife #stopcmv #keepyourbabiessafe
  • Lesson learned today for a dear friend! Never wear side tie bikini bottoms in the company of young toddler boys! The temptation to pull them is far to great 🙈😂😂😂 my poor friend did a quick drop and roll and thankfully avoided a full frontal display whilst on the beach perfectly positioned directly in front of a full packed cafe! Although most got a good eyeful of white tan lines and a very good laugh! Thank god she could see the funny side of it as I reddened in embarrassment at my son’s behavior before bursting into uncontrollably fits of giggles! My son however seems traumatized by the experience and promptly burst into floods of tears! #mumofboys💙 #mumlife #mummylessons #boyswillbeboys #beachfun #bikinimisshap
  • Happy international children’s day to these two beauts who gave me the title of mummy and keep me on my toes daily! I will be celebrating with you today by hanging out and potty training! 🙈🚽💩#internationalchildrensday  #pottytraining #pottytrainingboys #newbaby #stressedmom #lotsoftears #babyofinstagram #toddlerofinstagram #mummy #mumlife #mblog #mblogger #mumoftwo #mumsofinstagram
  • It may seem quite un-mum related but I can assure you it totally is not! Taking time to invest in myself means more to everyone in the family. More quality a better me and happy times! So excited to begin reading both of these! Now to choose which to start first! #metime #selfcare #selfdevelopment #mummingmybest #mumlife #nowisyourchance #youareabadass
  • Today has been challenging to say the least! One colicky newborn one overtired toddler and no hands free to get anything done! Never had the chance to wear my first due to the extent of my injuries and inability to even walk so made a point before little R arrived to actually invest in a wrap! Today I am 100% thankful that I did... so much so I may invest in a second.... what’s your tips on settling a very restless baby?

  • How has it been 4 weeks! It’s been a blur of appointments, strange routine keeping and chaos. Adjusting to life as 4 has not been the easiest but it has been fun. The moments are special and the days fly by so very very fast! Before I know it I will be asking where the last 18 years have gone! It goes way to soon and I am determined to capture and make as many moments over the course of this journey as possible! #makingmemories #makingmoments #proudmama #mamabear #4weeksoldtoday #4weeksoldalready #babyboy #babyofinsta #babiesofinstagram #mblogger #mblog
