Another day, another major life change 🙂
I’m excited to finally share with you some news that I’ve been holding onto for a little while now… Ben and I are expecting a baby! We’re excited/terrified/impatient to meet our new little one in a few months, and I honestly couldn’t imagine a more kind/practical/loving person to do this with. Having a lot of friends with children already, I feel like I’m no stranger to the intense highs and lows of having a new family, but when in doubt I always think about how much fun, adventure and creativity my family got up to when I was growing up, and can’t wait to have that with my own bub. Hopefully!
Hello bump!
For those of you who are interested, I’m currently 23 weeks, and after a pretty rough first trimester where it felt like a superhuam effort to hold things even a tiny bit together, I’m feeling good! My energy has returned, all my favourite foods are palatable again, and picking colours for our renovation doesn’t feel like undertaking a triathlon. Wahoo!
Nicola and I got together a few days ago and took some pics to document the ‘bump’, although I have to say it’s not that impressive… yet! I’m looking forward to sharing parts of this journey with you, and feel so fortunate to have the support of such a kind and intelligent community. As you can imagine I’m pretty excited to get stuck into a few (ahem, a hundred or so) new DIY projects. More coming soon I promise!

Congratulations! I’m 16 weeks and I feel you on the first trimester fatigue and morning sickness! I’m super envious of any woman out there that didn’t have to deal with it!
I knowwwwww. Although I am sure mine could have been worse but even semi bad was really really bad…
SO happy for you, congratulations! I’ve loved following your journeys over the years and am excited for your biggest DIY yet!
Wahhhh me toooo. Thank you for all your support xx
Congrats! What a special time! As probably one of your older readers, I can say that the journey ahead is the best ever, through the highs and lows. (Tomorrow is my oldest child’s 33rd birthday, and so I speak with the authority of experience!)
Wow you musr have lots of expereince, yes I feel somewhat daunted but also very excited about what lies ahead!
Congratulations!! ❤
Thank you!
I totally knew it! I could see it on some of the photos altough you tried to hide it well 🤓 congratulations! ❤️X
Hahahaha omg thats so funny! Its pretty hard to hide it after a while, although the fact that my bra size jumped two cups like on day one of my pregnancy might have been a giveaway? A reader emailed to ask if I had got a breast enlargement. Hahaha.
So happy for y’all!
Thank you so much!
Congrats! Awww I’m so happy for you! 🙂 <3 Glad to hear that you're feeling better! Can't wait to see more about your journey in to this new chapter!
