Summer outfits are back! ☀️ Getting dressed a

Summer outfits are back! ☀️

Getting dressed at the moment is actually really weird - I think I’m about half a size bigger than usual, which means some of my wardrobe fits if the clothes have a forgiving silhouette and stretchy fabric, whereas some of it doesn’t fit at all (I’m looking at you, jeans 👀).

Also, I’m quickly realising that a lot of my clothes that do fit aren’t actually practical for looking after a baby. For example:
- Any skirts/dresses above the knee
- Long-sleeves that aren’t fitted
- Anything low cut

So at some point this week, I’m going to try and sort through my wardrobe and work out what actually fits at the moment and works with this new lifestyle 🤗

And in the meantime, here are two easy new Mum outfits I’m sure I’ll be wearing on repeat over the next couple of months:

1 - dress: @hm
2 - top: @cosstores, jeggings: @marksandspencer

Summer vibes 😎

Today I’m planning to spend some more time in the garden sorting out our border at the back which is an absolute state. I wasn’t able to keep on top of it when I was pregnant because gardening was way too physical with my pelvic girdle pain.

I’m loving getting back to doing things I enjoy, even if my me time is a bit more limited than it used to be!

I can’t believe it’s already been about a month since this little lady came into our lives 💕

The initial postpartum time is so unique and special but also really strange and unfamiliar. With a first baby, you suddenly go from being able to be completely selfish and do what you want, when you want to having a tiny human depend on you entirely just to stay alive. Not to mention the physical recovery after giving birth.

So, it’s a big adjustment and there were moments before she arrived when my husband and I thought ‘what have we done?!’ 🤣 But now we couldn’t even imagine not having her as part of our family 🥰

We’re also now starting to get to the stage where we can see the occasional little smile and reaction when we interact with her so I can’t wait for more of this over the next few weeks 🤗

2 weeks postpartum 👶🏻 I have never felt that

2 weeks postpartum 👶🏻 I have never felt that my body is so strong and so weak all at once - strong because it literally grew an entire human, and weak because I now feel like I have zero muscle strength and tone after growing and birthing said human 😅

Having said that, today is the first day I’m feeling almost like my normal self again since a good few weeks before the birth.

I’m really excited to get back to doing some regular exercise again, although obviously lots of rest is the main priority right now!

I had such awful pelvic girdle pain that was really debilitating in the last month of my pregnancy, so being able to move my body like normal again is an incredible feeling.

To start with, I’ve been doing short walks near our house and this week I got the go-ahead from the midwife to resume gentle yoga workouts 👏🏻

So over the next few weeks I’ll be getting back on the mat during baby nap time and focusing on slowly strengthening my core.

Plus I’ll be going out for longer walks to make the most of the nicer weather ☀️
