I think we will just continue to enjoy all the beautiful moments with our two kids. We are finally in a place where we feel like parenting has gotten easier. I’m enjoying working more days and our kids are loving their days at daycare….

I’m still trying to find time for myself. Let me know if you have any ideas or advice!

I was studying throughout both pregnancies which was hard when the kids were new borns but my partner really helped out and made it possible to finish my degree when Eddie was 5 weeks old….

I wasn't the first prison-based employee to attend work pregnant, but for me, there was something very exposing about being pregnant in such an environment….

My husband had a few rules before we could start trying for kids: Get married , have a honeymoon and buy a house….

The best bits have been watching them grow. I sometimes look at my son and think, “Wow! I made that!”….

It was extremely hard journey we were definitely in fight mode just going with the motions, but we are so lucky to have our little miracle who beat all the odds!

Let’s just say we never used the cot for my son and embraced co-sleeping by necessity…

For as long as I can remember, I have been anxious at the thought of breastfeeding. I’m really not sure why BUT it has always freaked me out….

It doesn’t matter whether I am walking through the shops, or at work, if a baby walks past or comes in the room, I would and will always stare in awe. I have always known I have wanted to be a mum…

Speak up for yourself and ask for help when you need it, you don’t have to suffer in silence…

Look after yourself, trust the process, don’t stress on things you cannot control, don’t listen to all the noise and go with what you think is best for you and your child….

I have looked after so many children over the years, but this is so different. This child is all mine, I made him and he is so amazing…

I love breastfeeding but it took (literal) blood, sweat and tears to maintain exclusive breastfeeding - we’re still going strong…

I'm still learning how to do this! Finally, I have started to really realise that filling my own cup isn't selfish - it's necessary….

I wanted this mum life so bad and felt like I have achieved everything i wanted to, travelled etc pre baby…

Feeding my babes has been mostly straightforward. I’ve always had to push through the first week where my nipples feel like they get chewed up and spat back out…

Tyson latched perfectly and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED breastfeeding.

She touches them for comfort, and I mean, any nipples she can get her hands on – not just mine. I can’t wait to tell everyone at her 21st.

Learn how to advocate for your children don't let others opinions make you doubt your knowledge of your child and their behaviours..
