Look out - Mumma’s got her hair done, put makeup on & is wearing a dress not PJ’s or leggings covered in vomit - well there’s still vomit on my dress but it blends in so perfectly you wouldn’t even know it! 🤣 I believe it’s important to prioritize yourself & do “nice” things for yourself that make you feel good - but it definitely doesn’t always happen these days - actually it rarely happens. 🙈 That’s ok though, I’m in a tough phase with the kids and it will pass. I keep telling myself that! 😬🤣 When Izaac isn’t crying (which is rare) I still hear him crying in my head - I feel like I’m losing my mind! 🙈 Anyway my amazing partner Dec will deal with him over the next couple of days while I film something exciting for my new FIT APP!! Can’t wait to share it with you all - you’ll love it! 😃⁣ ⁣ Thank you to everyone for your baby tips & advice - I really do have the best, most helpful followers ever! Love you all! 😘🥰

Special afternoon playing in the pool with my girl. 💗 Zac takes up a lot of my time - he has colic/purple crying or whatever it’s called so it’s been hard to spend one on one time with Mia which breaks my heart. 😭 So today I made sure we had quality time together - just the 2 of us. 🥰 I’m hoping Izaac improves soon, some people say it lasts several months. 😩 I thought he was better last week when he started napping on his own throughout the day but he’s regressed now. 😢 He just screams constantly for no apparent reason. Obviously I love him to bits but he’s bloody hard! 🙈

My little munchkins! 😍 Oh how becoming a mother has changed me in so many ways & for the better I think! It’s the most amazing (& hardest) experience! I still can’t believe I grew these 2 little humans! 😍🙌🏼 P.S. getting a photo of the 3 of us together is extremely challenging haha! 🤣🙈

Izaac is 3 months old today! 😱 Where has 3 months gone?! It’s been a tough but wonderful 3 months. Zaccy is getting a little more settled just these last couple of days. Before that he would cry constantly & wouldn’t sleep unless he was attached to me or his Dad. I do love being close to him but it’s hard getting ANYTHING done - even going to the loo is tough. 🙈 Anyway, he seems he is improving thank goodness!! 😃🙌🏼 I’m so excited to get on top of the housework haha! - The things you get excited about doing as a parent hey! 🤣🙈

Mixing & matching my @womensbestwear 🥰⁣⠀ I’m 12 weeks postpartum already! 😱 Time is FLYING!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I just wanted to talk about posture after having a baby & show you the difference between having good posture with a “tight” tummy & not so good posture with it “relaxed”. It is SO hard to hold your tummy in after having a baby - it’s pretty much a core workout in itself haha! 😝 As well as pelvic floor & core specific exercises I believe it’s really important to also draw your tummy in while standing and walking around - especially to support your back while carrying a baby! ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I like to lift the pelvic floor first then drawn my tummy in from the bottom up - like you’re zipping yourself up! Of course it’s impossible to hold the pelvic floor & core tight 24/7 but I try to do it as much as I can throughout the day. It’s about getting your pelvic floor functioning well & core strong & also encouraging your right & left abs to come together & stay there & the connective tissue (facia) to become tighter around the Ab muscles. While pregnant it softens & stretches & the abs come apart (called Diastasis Recti) to allow for the growth of the baby. It doesn’t just snap back after giving birth - some people are lucky and don’t have to do anything for it to return to “normal” or pre pregnancy but most people need to work at it consistently & it takes time! I’m definitely one of those people! After having my first baby Mia it took almost a year for my body to return to being close to my pre-baby body & I still found it hard to keep my tummy tight before I fell pregnant with Izaac. As many of you know, I bloat a lot so that doesn’t help! 🙈😬⁣⠀ You’ve gotta be patient after having a baby as most bodies don’t “snap back” - it takes work & it takes time. You’ve gotta be conscious of your posture as much as possible and really work on standing tall with your tummy drawn in, shoulders back, chest up & back straight.⁣⠀ Remember - IT TAKES TIME & EFFORT!! 😉😘 ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀

Happy Father’s Day to the most amazing daddy ever! We are all so blessed to have you. I have never witnessed anyone love more than the way you love our kids. We love you so so much @recdedmond 🥰😘⁣ ⁣ P.S. Izaac is not happy here but he loves you too! 😝 ⁣ ⁣ I have no idea how people get these perfect family photos with everyone happy & smiling! At least one of our kids is always cranky! 🙈🤣

⁣⁣ Self love, persistence & patience are important to have when getting back into fitness after childbirth. Actually they’re important for anyone who’s beginning their fitness journey!⁣⁣ I’ve said this many times but it’s true, the start is hard & absolutely sucks but it gets easier as you get fitter & you start feeling great before you know it! ⁣⁣ I’m not naturally a motivated person, I have to create it every single day. Some days I don’t have it & don’t feel like working out & some days it’s impossible to workout even if I WANT to - my babies need their Mumma & they are of course my priority. ⁣⁣ If I can though, I’m sticking to my training when I can (when it’s in my control) & I’m eating food that’s good for me & my fussy tummy haha! 🙈⁣⁣ I’m feeling great & while my progress seems slow at times, I’m getting there & have already come a long way since the start of my postpartum fitness journey. 😃⁣⁣ IT TAKES TIME & DON’T COMPARE TO ANYONE ELSE- remember that! ☺️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

Little Zaccy safe & happy in Daddy’s arms.😍 I’d never want to leave if I were him.. except for Mumma’s milk of course! 😋 @recdedmond

The many expressions of Izaac. 😍😁 He’s 2 months old today!! 😲 I can’t believe how fast he’s growing! ⁣ ⁣ When he was first born I didn’t think he looked like Mia much but I think he’s looking more like her every day. What do you think? ⁣ Genetics are so fascinating I think! 😃⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ́n ⁣

This little boy gives me so much cute aggression! Argh I just love him so much I wanna squeeze him (I don’t btw) & kiss attack him. 🥰 Does anyone else get “cute aggression”? I didn’t even know it was an actual “thing” until only a few years ago. ⁣ ⁣ I can’t believe lil Zaccy is already 7 weeks old! He’ll be in high school before I know it! 😭 He better still be Mumma’s boy even in high school!!⁣ ⁣ ⁣

I cried when I first saw my body in the mirror after I gave birth to Izaac (6 hours before I took this pic). It wasn’t because I didn’t like what I saw, it was because I was IN LOVE with my body & was in complete AWE of what it had just done. It had literally birthed my son on it’s own at home - I didn’t even have to push - it did it itself! 🙌🏼😍 HOW FREAKIN AMAZING ARE OUR BODIES?!!! ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I’ve never in my life loved my body more & instead of criticising it & picking out our every little so called “flaw” (which I’d done for many of my younger years) I cried with joy & gratitude & thanked it. 🙏🏼⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ It makes me sad that so many women including my old self dislike their bodies. 😔 I am so blessed to grow, birth & breastfeed my 2 precious babies. 🙌🏼😃 I honestly couldn’t care less about having extra fat, cellulite, saggy skin or stretch marks. 🤪⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 💙 SO GRATEFUL 🙏🏼⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
