Busy day! Bailey’s last swimming lesson for a while till we’ve worked out what life with twins looks like - I feel a bit sad about that as he loves it so much but hopefully it’s not for long. Then we survived a trip to IKEA and Bailey kindly tested out the new twin buggy for us, which we love except that we can’t collapse it but I’m sure we’ll learn 😂 Little man was such a good boy he got treated to some Colin Caterpillar cake at M&S which I may or may not have eaten quite a lot of also…🤫

Bit of a rant today. You may have already seen it on my stories yesterday, but it’s annoyed me enough to give it a square… I’m no different to I’m guessing most women on here in that I get unsolicited messages from creepy men. I had a massive follower cull last year and started monitoring my notifications more closely and it calmed down, so I relaxed a bit. But now they’re all back in their droves, and mainly because I’m pregnant (though a few are here for my feet too, it seems…) Some people are into feet and pregnant women, I get it, good for you and everything, what you like doing in the bedroom with other consenting adults is your biz and I’m not here to judge. But here’s the thing, I am NOT one of those consenting adults. I’m just a happily almost-married mother, who enjoys talking about clothes and shoes and her experiences of pregnancy and parenting with like minded people. There is nothing on my account to suggest I want to hook up. There is nothing sexual about my content. There is absolutely nothing in my profile that suggests I’m open to sending you some ‘special’ content, paid or not! So STOP ASKING!!! I know there are people who will suggest it’s an expected part of social media, but I call bullshit on that. We need to stop normalising the idea that it’s ok to treat human beings as objects for your personal gratification, whatever the platform. I take my bump outside in the street around perfect strangers everyday, am I asking for it then?? Should I just hide indoors until I’ve given birth lest my BABIES turn someone on?? B******s to that!! I shouldn’t have to police my content. I shouldn’t have to make my profile private and potentially miss out on some of the genuine connections I’ve made here. I should be able to enjoy a pastime I’ve come to love without being bombarded with requests to pleasure people because they are too tight to pay for adult content where it is being provided by willing participants. I know this post won’t make a difference, and I’m not going anywhere, but I just wanted to say ENOUGH ALREADY! JUST STOP!

So, people keep asking me how I’m going to cope with a toddler and twins, but honestly, I’m more worried about coping with the dog! She’s been an absolute pain in the backside today, deciding she wants to be in whatever room I’ve just closed the door from, wanting to go outside, wanting to come in again, barking incessantly! I swear she is far more needy than Bailey! I wouldn’t change her for the world, but it’s going to be a challenge for sure! Here’s a quick pre-weekend swish I managed to capture just before she woke the boy up early from his nap… 🤦🏻‍♀️

Had to give my favourite #newtome Bodens a #fridayfeet square, didn’t I?! Velvet, metallics and a bit of bling - they’re the perfect festive winter shoe! And best of all, they’re flats, so I’ll be getting to wear them lots even if there won’t be many Christmas parties in my diary this year!

Never have I been more pleased to get changed into a dress than today! We spent a very long morning at the hospital having our last growth scan and have finally booked in a date for our section! Won’t be sharing it as these things so often don’t go to plan, but needless to say I feel equal parts thrilled that we have something to anchor to and overwhelmed that it seems so soon and so final! I’m really going to miss carrying these little monkeys around in my belly even though they are causing my back, bladder and sleep all kinds of grief! Anyway, last time we were at the hospital we waited around for an appointment that didn’t exist, this time we had the opposite problem and almost as soon as I found out we’d be seeing the consultant straight after the scan I realised I was desperate for the loo, but couldn’t go as they’d need a sample 🙈 thankfully I didn’t have to wait long but there was an awful lot of paper work and consent forms to fill in and I was a hot, sweaty mess by the time we were done! Seems ironic that I normally whinge about the end of summer, but just as I say I’m ready for autumn the sun comes back 😂

I miss this. Time to arrange another at home date night I think. With less wine though, sadly…
