Hey! What a crazy time it's been... My brain is fried. I've spent so much time researching and looking into different things to help my mental health for when baby comes, like omega 3, B vitamins, probiotics etc. which all play some role in keeping your head in a good space. Omega 3 for healthy brain function (important for thinking straight!), B vitamins for helping with particularly stressful times, probiotics because gut health and mental health issues seem to have a link.... There are many more things but I won't go into all that - not today, anyway! I've also looked into other tips for preventing post natal depression. Must share them with you one day - or maybe once I know if they've worked. For me, at least. I'm nearly 20 weeks - halfway there... Part of me feels like it's gone slowly and the other part feels like it's all approaching a little fast. Sometimes, I think I have to feel fully prepared for when this baby comes.

Hey guys! I know I've been very quiet... I have found it hard to locate some spare energy the last 3 months. My brain has been rather foggy. I've barely had enough 'oomph' to get food on the table.  But I've gotten through it! So, we have been keeping secrets..... and it's time to let one out of the bag! Child no. 3 is in my tummy (17 weeks), and I am wildly excited! I can't wait to meet this precious little one. Well, I can wait a little... still need to get child no.2 out of the cot and into a big bed, ideally out of nappies and off bottles, and to please, PLEASE, sleep through the night. But I am wildly excited about this little person growing in my belly, especially now that I can feel the kicks and tumbles. I am also wildly nervous about it, when I consider that I went through post natal depression with both my kids. That's all I've ever known. Struggle is all I've ever known when it comes to welcoming my baby into the world. Ove...
