The New Mum / Mom Tag 2019
Hello! I have seen this tag going around on Youtube for a few weeks and, although I haven’t actually been tagged, I really liked the questions and wanted to give it a go! I love being a mummy to Jasper and that this also means that I can now answer questions like these. I hope you enjoy reading my answers to these questions and I’d be fascinated to read your answers if you decide to take part.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Just a quick post today to wish all you special mummy’s a happy mother’s day, whether you are pregnant, trying for a baby, a grandma, a mum to one or a mum to many you are doing a great job! Sometimes, usually on days where I am so tired from being up all night with Jasper, I wonder if I am doing a good enough job of motherhood but then I see how happy he is and think I must be doing something right. I also want to say a big thank you to my mum for showing me how to be a great mum and for being the best grandma to Jasper!
Baby Update – Jasper At 9 Months Old
Hello! I haven’t written a baby update post since Jasper was 5 months old, which you can read here, so I thought it was about time I wrote another. He has grown up so much in the last couple of months so I really wanted to document what he was like now. I’m sure I probably said this in the last post but Jasper has got the cheekiest personality and he makes me laugh all the time now by being silly. He is definitely becoming more independent now that he can move around more easily and he really knows his own mind and what he wants. Jasper is 9 and a half months as I am writing this (which is slightly later than I was hoping for because I have been a bit poorly, on the mend now though!).
A Little Update – Myself and Jasper Have Been Unwell
Hi! Firstly apologies for the silence over here, me and Jasper have had the flu and Jasper’s went on to his chest so he ended up needed antibiotics for a chest infection. So we have spent the last couple of week’s having lots of cuddles and watching too much Paw Patrol whilst being surrounded by tissues. We are just about on the mend now so I am looking forward to posting on here again.

My Post Partum Fitness So Far – 9 Months Post Partum
Hey everyone, so last week was the first time I felt like I could start doing some proper exercise since Jasper was born. I decided to get all of my old gym gear out that I used to wear before I was pregnant and it made me feel really good putting it back on. I am back at my pre pregnancy weight (because Jasper doesn’t stop breastfeeding!) so the main reason I want to get back in to exercise is so I can start to feel strong again. I also think it will do wonders for my mind as well because I used to feel so good when I went to the gym. So far I have just managed a few home workouts using Youtube tutorials but I guess you have to start somewhere!

Happy International Women’s Day
I can’t believe this big boy will be 9 months old tomorrow! It has definitely felt much faster than being pregnant (although Jasper wasn’t born for another 16 days after this was taken) and I have loved every minute of being a mum!
5 Fun Books To Read To Your Baby
Over the last couple of week’s Jasper has been really getting to reading books. Every morning the first thing he will do is crawl over to his books and pull all of them out (so the front room is always a bit of a mess!), it’s so cute watching him look at them and try to turn the pages. He spends most of the day either having books read to him or playing with them himself, they are definitely his favourite toy at the moment. Pretty much as soon as I’ve finished a book, he will pick it back up and we will read it again, so I know the words by heart to most of his books now. I thought I would share some of Jasper’s favourites, so if you are looking for books to buy a baby these will most likely be a hit.
Attending A Mini First Aid Course
Last week myself and James (and of course Jasper!) attended a mini first aid to learn what to do to keep Jasper safe in loads of different situations. The course taught us how to perform first aid on infants (0-12 months old) and on children (1-12 years old). It had loads of great information as well as practical exercises to put in to practise what we had learnt. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who has the opportunity to go, we definitely feel more equipped to handle certain situations and hopefully we will never need to use what we learnt but it’s better to be prepared!
If I Had 1 Million Followers
First of all, how did that even happen? I can’t imagine that a million people would ever find me and want to hear what I had to say. But if for some reason I woke up one day and a million people did want to hear what I had to say then I would want to use the scale of audience to spread a positive message that may help people and the world.
