A scary, anxious and overwhelming fear fills your body when, like me, your waters break early, or you are told the babies need to be delivered right away.

Thereโ€™s only so much you can do, the best thing to do is to remain calm and positive, which is incredibly hard during a stressful time like this.

All you want is to hear your babyโ€™s first cry and to know that they are OK.

World prematurity day is about raising awareness of the impact of a pre term baby. The extra care that is needed and the impact it can have on families.

Harvey was born prematurely via emergency c-section, as a first time mum it was a scary time. That first cry was everything, he was ok. He stayed by my bedside and left for NICU for medicines but luckily nothing major was wrong.

Our girls were luckily was able to stay at my bedside being looked after under the NICU team. Amelie needed help breathing and adjusting to being outside of the womb, she had tubes to assist with breathing for a couple days and both needed incubators to help them regulate their body temperatures. Our stay was 10 days which is nothing compared to others.

Post leaving the hospital, they developed colic which, pre term babies have a higher chance of having, along with feeding difficulties.

Luckily for us, our 3 babies are here and thriving. They are troopers and we couldnโ€™t of done it without the doctors, nurses and midwives around us.

Snesing love to anyone going through this โค๏ธ

Absolutely gutted to of missed Halloween this year, but luckily my bro was able to step in and take Harvey out on a Halloween adventure!

This year he was Mimikyu - who you ask? I have no idea but apparently it's a small pokemon hidden under a rag and is the shortest ghost type pokรฉmon ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ‘ป

It's so sad how empty the streets are and how few people open their doors now compared to our childhood. Every year I search social media to see where is good to go which helps as some houses and streets do have amazing displays and also give to charity โ™ก

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween whatever you did!

Weโ€™ve claimed Tin man (grumpy bear) to be daddy - which makes me Tenderheart bear as the lion ๐Ÿฆ

Delicious, sweet and full of protein! It went down a treat with the monsters, will be adding it to our food rotation ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Recipe:
โ™ฅ dice onions and mince garlic, fry for a few minutes in oil
โ™ฅ add in beef mince (or whatever you prefer), break it up as you go and fry until brown, add a bit of salt and pepper
โ™ฅ whilst that is browning make a teriyaki sauce (or buy some in store) equal parts sake, mirin and light soysauce and brown sugar, simmer for a few mins until sugar dissolves and the sauce is a bit thicker (I also add ginger, spring onion and garlic)
โ™ฅ pour the sauce into the beef pan and add equal part water, let it summer for a bit and you're done!

I cook everything to taste, measurements aren't really my thing sorry ๐Ÿ˜… if you have leftover sauce (before putting it into the beef) you can pour it into a glass jar and keep it in the fridge for a few weeks โ˜บ๏ธ

I blend the mince a bit in my hand blender for the girls as it makes it easier to eat and digest for their little mouths ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

I hope you enjoy!
