Merry Christmas from ours to yours!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Somehow managed to scramble together Christmas lunch by 12 – in time for Isla’s lunch! I’m hopeful we’ve all started to turn the Covid corner. That was an unexpected Christmas curveball! Very grateful to be hauled up with my little fam. Sending so much love to you all ❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
This year has been a year of sailing the lonely sea of grief. I haven’t spoken about it and so it’s been very tricky to know how to begin to show up authentically here and in my professional life… as the life I have carved out for myself is a very visible one and at times, a lot of times… I have wanted and needed to pull the duvet over my head. I am so grateful for the kindness, support and connection in this little corner of the internet and will continue to be here when I feel able and to also take the quiet time I need. I was really inspired by a post by @jvn and they way in which they were able to show up in the honesty and rawness of grief whilst honouring their own privacy and need to quietly process. My hope is to do the same here. I love being an actor, I love sharing fun and honest content on here and so appreciate all of your support ♥️
Bumpdate! 38 weeks this week! Can’t believe how soon I will be meeting you baby girl! 💖 I’ve gone from feeling like I needed a few more weeks to feeling very ready!!Nesting is now in full flight and if it was safe for me to be up a ladder, I’d be cleaning light bulbs right now! 🤣 Aren’t hormones incredible!? I got quite emotional whilst my husband was taking this photo, knowing I will be meeting my baby girl soon. Swipe for the vulnerable little moment on video that I had no idea he had taken!

Happy NY 🍾 Hope you all have a lovely evening whatever you are planning. We are very much in hibernation mode and fairly sure I won’t be awake at midnight 🤣… In my 34th week now…. Eeeeek!! It’s flying. Cannot wait to meet you baby girl 💖 (but WILL wait another few weeks, so you can please stay just where you are for now!) Still feel like I have so much preparation to do and all I want to do is sleep and eat 🤣 Wish you all the love, luck and happiness in the world for ‘23 💖 Super supportive nursing bra: @marksandspencer Most comfortable maternity leggings in the world: @natalactive @mumandme_app #mumbrand #gift #thankyou #thirdtrimester
30 weeks today!! 🤰🏼 #bumpdate Feeling ready to fully enter hibernation mode, especially with this cold weather – two year old has other ideas! In some ways it’s probably not the worst thing that she is helping me stay reasonably active. I’m still managing my Gestational Diabetes with diet – although never sure how long that will be for – I’m trying to not be too attached to the idea I can ‘control’ it and accept that if I need medication then that’s what I will do to keep me and bubba safe. Keeping moving more than I did in first pregnancy has got to be a good thing though! It’s hard to not be able to eat what I feel like – which honestly, most of the time is cake!! I miiiisssss caaaake!! And chocolate and crisps and did I mention cake??? Also top tip for anyone else preggo in this cold weather.. @seraphinematernity do this fleece lined set of thermals that I got a few weeks back when I was filming outside all day! 🎬❤️And their 3 in 1 Maternity to baby wearing parka is a faux fur lined dream that comes with an extra panel for baby wearing with a little hood. I was a big baby wearer with Isla and really hope to carry our new bubba! Swipe for frosty photo dump! 💜 #thirdtrimester #pregnancy #bump #gift

It’s time for my annual posting of my favourite BTS rehearsal photo of all time… If photos could talk! Sorry Nick… EVERY YEAR. Merry effing Christmas. 🤣🎄 ps. For any MT fans. Nick, Ash and I did ‘Me and My Baby’ 8 shows a week for a year and it still killed us every time. 🤣
If she only slept like this at night. #sleepisfortheweak #babysleep #nosleephere
Yup. Izzy party pants. #baby #sleep #wedontneedsleep

The cost of living crisis is hurting too many children. There are children across the UK who will wake up on Christmas morning to nothing but a cold house, no toys, no treats, not only no Christmas dinner – but no dinner at all… there is hope! I’ve joined forces to support @actionforchildrenuk ❤️ to ask as many people as possible to become a Secret Santa to a vulnerable child.
We know times are tough but you could be a vital lifeline for a vulnerable child and help put the magic back into their Christmas

Such a lovely event @code8beauty today! ❤️ Had my very own original lipstick made for me from scratch! I named it Isla Rose after my daughter. They keep a record of the colour and can recreate it if you run out! ❤️ I was then treated to a make over! I absolutely love having my make-up done. I find it so relaxing. Such a treat! Thank you Alisha, my lovely MUA. This experience could make a lovely lux Xmas pressie! Will link in my stories ❤️ I feel very lucky and very spoilt after such a glam morning xxxxx #prtrip #beauty #mua #glamsquad #beauty
Allergy chat with @dradamfox on Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) I’ve had so many questions about our OIT journey since we started last year and I’m absolutely delighted that Adam was happy to jump on here with me and demystify it all! I really am grateful for his balanced approach. Certainly not a decision to be taken lightly and one that won’t be right for many families but has been a game changer for us – hopefully we can shed some more light on it here. Sending love as always from my family to yours xxx ps.this is a long one but I was hanging on his every word and couldn’t bring myself to cut any of it! Grab a cuppa! x #allergy #allergyfamily #allergyhour
Izzy and I had a day out and attended @pampersuk_ire Happy Skin, Happy Baby event to celebrate the launch of their new and upgraded #PremiumProtection range. Their Derma Comfort layer has 1000 micro pores to pull away moisture twice as fast! *
If you’re looking for up to 100% leak free for 12 hours, look no further – if only my baby would sleep that long! I can dream 🤣
We tried them for ourselves and after a long journey home, she had the dryest little bottom ever! We now find that over night her skin is peachy in the morning – which makes her happy and so me happy! Winning!
Try them for yourselves! Link in my biog and stories 💜 Ad

✨NEW EPISODE✨ On this weeks episode we are back with one of the main topics that bonds parents…..SLEEP and sleep deprivation! Who doesn’t love and NEED to sleep. Without enough sleep the human brain cannot function properly.
Ali and I share our experiences with sleep from newborn to toddler, how children can be polar opposite, the importance of turning off the noise and tuning in to what works for you and your family, for your children and YOU’RE sleep/sanity!
We go on to talk about how lack of sleep, sleep deprivation, and the introduction of a baby can hugely impact relationships, which can leave us in total shock at such a vulnerable time. Just how can we meet each others needs and the needs of a tiny newborn baby?
If you’re in need of a nod along podcast where you can relate to it all, this one is for you!
Available on all podcast platforms now!
As you all know I am so passionate about this podcast and really do want it to reach the ears of whoever needs to hear it, please help us to do that by subscribing, rating and reviewing! Thank you ❤️
