Being pregnant can be stressful at any given time; there are so many changes so even the most planned out pregnancies leave you with lots of questions when it comes to things like maternity leave, living arrangements etc. Now throw in the biggest worldwide health pandemic for a century whilst you’re pregnant to make it even more interesting. I am 18 weeks pregnant and we are in the midst of living in isolation due to Covid-19. Two weeks ago the government advice changed to move pregnant women into the vulnerable category of this virus. At that moment my heart sank…
Lottie is SIX! It’s a cliche and I say it every time we have a birthday but I really can’t believe she is another year older. Her birthday fell in the half term, so I took a couple of days annual leave and we had the best family day all together celebrating her sixth birthday.

Words I never thought I’d be announcing again; I Am Pregnant! I have been keeping this little secret in for what feels like forever, but now its finally out – we’re having a baby! My tribe of three will become a four this summer with our little blessing arriving to join in the madness.
