The Bitter-Sweet Second Baby

Every mother is well accustomed to feeling 'Mum Guilt' - but I've never felt anything quite like the guilt I felt upon discovering I was pregnant again...

Just realised I never posted the back shot of this dress the other week, which is basically an Insta-crime, so here it is…
Phew! Bit warmer than I was expecting today! This dress isn’t too bad in the heat, but I think I may be getting some embarrassing pit stains at the dentist 😳 oh well, you’re allowed to be dishevelled when you’re lugging two bubbas around!
Back to work and back to shoe saving! Tried to dress for a good day, but Mondays are never great, feel like I spend most of the day trying to get back into work mode then by the time I do it’s over! This little pastel polka dot combo cheered me up though! Shoe challenge tally stands at 116/181!
I’ve got post holiday blues. And normally I don’t like that, but I have to say I’m finding a strange sense of comfort in the fact that we are now able to experience that sense of sadness that a lovely trip has come to an end. Weekends are becoming weekends again. We are not restricted to the streets and fields surrounding our village anymore. I know lots are worrying about the news Boris may or may not be delivering today, but honestly, as much as my heart wants life to go back to ‘normal’ the reality we’re existing in at the moment is one I can definitely handle for another few weeks if it means keeping people safe. I’m sad Bailey won’t be getting to experience a foreign holiday any time soon. Face masks have definitely gotten a lot more cumbersome now that I’m pregnant. But I can see people. I can explore new places. I can watch Bailey play with other people and feel hopeful that his impending brothers or sisters will get the same. That feels good, and for me right now, it’s enough. Hope whatever the news is today it doesn’t impact you too badly ❤️
Messy hair, no make-up, a slightly too pink nose, weird tan lines on my feet and sun cream stains on my sack of a dress - not the most stylish today, but all signs of a glorious weekend! I think it’s been the most sustained period of fun Bailey has ever had! Sad it’s over, but only a week to go till our next holiday!
More seaside fun from yesterday ❤️
