Dear Rex, I thought I'd write you a letter and a list, for your first birthday, because, I like to document stuff. I will do this every year, even when you are middle-aged, and your partner rolls their eyes at my annual gesture. God, you're nowhere near leaving home yet, and I already miss you...I [...]
I've found weaning pretty overwhelming, especially with a premature baby, but also, so much fun. Watching my baby boy, try new flavours for the first time, is just lovely. I know it's going to be a long road ahead, I was going to say something about it being bumpy etc, but, I made myself cringe. [...]
Hey there, thanks for coming back to read more about my experience with expressing and breastfeeding. If this is the first you'e heard about it; take a look here for part one. Right, I've still got plenty to say (you lucky thing). Here we go... Talking about Rex made my boobs leak When I got [...]
Before pregnancy and having Rex, all I really knew about breastfeeding, was what friends and family had discussed with me. I'd heard that some found it straightforward, some found it really challenging, and everything in between. Therefore, when I did become pregnant, I told myself that I'd try my best, but wouldn't beat myself-up if [...]
Well hello there, welcome back to my caesarian chat. Unsurprisingly, there was a part one to this post, which you can read here, if you haven't already. The following are some more questions that popped-up on my Instagram, and in general conversation, since I had my baby boy. I hope the answers provide you with [...]
I used Instagram to get people to send me some questions regarding some specific topics. I thought, that way, I could create some content that at least a few people would be interested to read (which is always nice when you've written something). Since having Rex, one of the things that I've found people are [...]
If you follow me on social media (if not, why ever not? @heyits_fay); you'll have seen my pictures of Rex, enjoying some quality spa time, at Spa Babies. And, as a mom who blogs; I had to share the joy with everyone. I first discovered Spa Babies, on Instagram, through the lovely Jenna Farmer's account. [...]
I always film a second of each day, and have done for a couple of years now (using the 1 second a day app). So, to celebrate Rex reaching his due date, on 18th July 2019; I made a video of his life, from birth, to the day he was due. And, that's what we [...]
*I'll be uploading my Instagram posts from our time in NICU, followed by a more recent picture of Rex, so you'll be able to see the difference* 5th May 2019 "And just like that, everything changed! ♥️ I’d like to introduce my beautiful boy, Rex Frankie. I’m in love. He decided to arrive very early [...]
Oh hey! It's been a while. So, if you've been following me on Instagram; you'll already know that my baby boy arrived, early. Super early. Rex decided it was time to party at 28 weeks + 4 days. It was unexpected, and we've had a tough old road to navigate, ever since. However, he is [...]
