21 weeks 💗 Feeling more like 30 weeks, to be honest! Highlights of last week:

💉 Had my COVID vaccine (spoke to my doctors, midwife & husband before making this decision; it’s totally a personal choice, if you are pregnant, please speak to your health professional if you’re offered the vaccine)

🤢 Not rid of HG yet, had a really odd couple of weeks feeling extremely nauseous. Still on Cyclizine.

😬 Sneezing accidents… lots!

🦶🏻 Baby girl loves kicking me in the bladder, though as soon as I touch my belly she stops!

😵‍💫 Lower back pain is here to stay, I’m afraid. Frustrating to have it so early in this pregnancy!

🤗 Feeling really happy and generally in the 2nd trimester bubble of happiness.

🎀 Oh, and we may have 100% decided on baby’s name… almost! I still change my mind every day, but keep going back to a top favourite and a second favourite.

Happy 6th birthday, sweet James! 🎈💙 Our caring, knowledge-obsessed, maths-lover, happiest boy!

Our lives are so much better because of you and your beautiful heart. You are growing up to be an amazing little man. I can’t wait to go on many more adventures with you this year and watch you become a big brother for the second time. Keep shining bright, my ray of sunshine ☀️ We love you infinitely! ❤️

19 weeks today 💗 We’ve come a long way since the dark days of hyperemesis. I still have off days and am relying on Cyclizine to keep the nausea at bay, but thankfully I’ve been off Ondansetron for over a week and, touch wood, no relapses! 🙏🏻 I am grateful every single day that I get to breathe without a wave a nausea taking over me, or drink water without running to the bathroom to be sick. I know I keep saying this, but HG crushed me. For weeks I wasn’t sure how I would ever be happy or feel normal again. And just knowing these days are behind me, brings such relief and joy to my life. As hard as it was to go through it, HG came to made me appreciate this part of my pregnancy so much more! ❤️ If you are currently struggling with HG I’m sending you all my love; please ask for better treatment if you’re not coping - you’re not a nuisance. My DMs are always open for a chat, a moan or simply to listen. 🤍

I still can’t believe that only 4 weeks ago I wasn’t able to walk down the stairs, drink water or tolerate the smell of my children’s hair! Look at me now… 🙌🏻

Hyperemesis stole 8 weeks of my life. Not only that, it took me to the darkest and loneliest places in my mind. This was supposed to be the pregnancy that I exercised all the way through, enjoyed every little second of it because it’s likely to be my last baby. But instead, I’ve spent a huge part of it crying, struggling, feeling weak and hopeless.

I’m still grieving the experience I thought I’d have, but I feel so lucky to have improved dramatically over the last 4 weeks. I get so much joy just doing little things that I couldn’t do before - showering on my own, eating a full meal, talking, doing the kids’ bedtime routine.

I believe everything happens for a reason. Whatever that reason was, it was meant to teach me to appreciate more my body, my family and the small things in life. ❤️

Did you guess it right? I got it totally wrong, again! 😆 We couldn’t be happier and it’s exactly what both James and Bella wanted. Our little tie-breaker! 🥰 #16weekspregnant #babynumber3 #genderreveal
