The first half of the second trimester of pregnancy flew, but I swear the second half flew even faster! Time seems to be going in a really odd way this year and I was shocked to hit 28 weeks and find I was at the third trimester already! That said, the last few weeks haven’t been without their problems.

Celebrating Autumn’s 4th Birthday
Wow, I can hardly believe that Autumn is 4 already. How fast time flies when you’re having fun…and constantly running around meeting a little one’s demands! Of course, her birthday wasn’t quite how I’d envisioned it being at the start of the year. If you’ve been following the blog for a while, you’ve probably noticed that we usually have a party or go somewhere like a zoo for Autumn’s birthday. I had a lot of great party ideas and she would have loved celebrating with her friends! To be honest, I don’t think most people have had a ‘normal’ birthday this year really, unless you were born at the beginning of the year like me. Nonetheless, we were determined to make her 4th birthday special regardless of Covid-19 being the ultimate party pooper!

Chrissy Teigen was right sharing her miscarriage online
Trigger Warning: Miscarriage & Baby Loss. Contains sponsored link.¦ Yesterday morning, I woke up after a nightmare where I had heavy bleeding and was losing my baby. Upon rolling over and looking at my phone, I saw the awful news that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend had lost their baby. I tried to get on with my day, trying not to think about it too much. However, by the afternoon, I saw that the usual trolls had come out on social media. There had also been a discussion on Loose Women. Many people were of the opinion that Chrissy should have kept her miscarriage quiet. However, as a miscarriage survivor myself, I think they are the ones who should be keeping quiet.
Funny things my 3 year old says
One of my favourite blog posts of last year was when I wrote about the funny things my daughter said as a 2 year old. With her 4th birthday next week (eek!) it’s time to reflect on the things she’s said this year. She is absolutely hilarious and cracks me up every day. As such, it was tough to narrow it down!
