32 weeks and 2 days.

​As I sit here, completely relaxed with a favorite book Let Them by Mel Robbins in hand, it’s wild to think that in less than six weeks, I could be in the operating room bringing our newest little one into the world.

​While the boys are out having a blast on their boat trip, I’m soaking up every second of this peaceful "me-time." As much as I’d love to be out on the water with them, there is something so needed about quiet moments like this to just pause, breathe, and reflect on life.

​I am feeling overwhelmingly content, deeply grateful, and so blessed for the life our family has built. Moving to Liverpool and calling it home has brought so many gifts, not least of which is the incredible care we’ve received. We are so lucky to have such brilliant consultants, midwives, and nurses looking after us every step of the way—I truly couldn't feel in better hands.

​Taking a moment to just be still, feel the kicks, and count every single blessing. Life is good. 🤍✨

30 weeks down, 10 to go! 🤰✨

Entering the home stretch, and if you’re wondering what’s keeping my sanity intact right now, here is the secret sauce:

Daily gratitude: Saying grace every morning and evening to stay grounded.

Movement & nourishment: Keeping up with our Tuesday Zumba workouts, Yoga, and eating healthy to stay energized.

Bodywork & healing: Pregnancy massages, acupuncture, and—when the back and glute pain becomes intolerable—giving myself full permission to rest, regroup, and heal.

Digital detox: Heading out into nature and intentionally leaving my phone behind.

One day at a time: Managing my energy and patience without rushing the clock.

My #1 sanity saver: A deeply supportive family and a small circle of inner friends who ask for nothing, expect nothing, and just let me be.

To anyone else navigating these final weeks—protect your peace, listen to your body, and take it one slow day at a time. 🤍

My heart is still so full from last night! Thank you to every single one of you who showed up and brought your whole heart to the dance floor. The energy and positive vibrations we shared were absolute magic.

​Huge shoutout to our WhatsApp crew, too—you all are amazing for rolling with the punches with that sudden venue change! Having that connection made reaching everyone so easy. Fingers firmly crossed that our next one gets us back dancing under the open sky!

​I was reflecting this morning on just how lucky we are. Building a space that is completely judgment-free, mature, and open isn't easy, but you all make it feel effortless. No drama, no cliques—just pure warmth, high vibes, and a group of people who genuinely lift each other up. Every time we get together, you bring out even more light in one another.

​So grateful for this family we've built. Can't wait to Zumba with you all again next week! 💃✨🕺

Had my very first appointment for the C-GULL research study today! 👣✨

​For those who haven’t heard of it yet, C-GULL The C-GULL Study (Children Growing Up in Liverpool) is an amazing study tracking the health and well-being of 10,000 babies and their families right here in our city region. It’s all about understanding early life to help give future generations the best, healthiest start possible! 🧬❤️

​The appointment at the Liverpool Women’s Hospital was so lovely and straightforward. The research midwives are absolutely brilliant and made me feel so comfortable. It honestly feels so special knowing that my little one and I are playing a small part in history to help Scouse babies thrive for years to come 🥹👶.

​Calling all my fellow pregnant Mamas in Liverpool! 🤰📢 If you’re having your baby through the Liverpool Women’s Hospital, you are likely eligible to be part of this incredible journey. Plus, they even give you a thank-you voucher for attending your first face-to-face visit, which is a lovely little bonus for the baby fund! 🎁💳

Let’s do this for the next generation of our city! 💪 Check out The C-GULL Study or head to cgullstudy.com to learn more. 📲✨
