• GET OUT • One thing I remember when I became a Mum for the first time was how small the four walls can feel if you’re stuck inside all day. As hard as it can be, sometimes the best thing you can do is get outdoors, get moving and enjoy some fresh air. A fun afternoon simply exploring without venturing very far from home, with all babes in tow. Just what I needed. @mountain_buggy @cadenshae #babywearing #mountainbuggy #oneweekold #postnatal #getoutdoors #freshair #mentalhealth #postpartum #cadenshae #wellbeing
• ONE WEEK YOUNG • It’s so crazy to think that this time last week we were back on the maternity ward with our fresh baby girl. Even crazier to think that’s she’s been with us for a whole week. I’d be lying if I didn’t say it’s been a blur, I’ve lost track of what day it is and accumulated a whole heap of sleep debt, made up for by all the newborn snuggles. It’s been beautiful but also tough transitioning to a family of four. Her big brother is amazing, but the Mum guilt I have at times is ridiculous. The love I have for these little people is beyond measure. Coupled with crazy hormones and lack of sleep; thank god for @philjt to help hold me together when I need it. Recovery wise I’m feeling better at this stage than I did after Byron. Learning and loving every day with my beautiful little family. #babyspam #oneweekold #babygirl #mama #postnatal #challenges #sleepdebt #wingingit #love #heartisfull #hormonescanmakeyoucrazy

• CELEBRATE SUNDAY • A time to reflect on the week that’s been and what’s to come. Today I’m celebrating feeling half human after some sort of tummy bug got the better of me all weekend, not fun at 38 weeks pregnant. Some fresh air, sunshine and cold salty water definitely helped today! What can you celebrate about the week that’s been? #celebrate #newweek #38weeks #pregnancy #thirdtrimester #beachdays #spring #onthemend
• ANALOGIES • Basically a comparison of two things to show their similarities. Recently a friend of mine shared a beauty with me around some fears I had about my post natal recovery, and no not about pre baby weight an shit like that, namely in terms of my pelvic floor. Essentially it involved some captains, their boats, the weather, tides etc. It came down to focusing on what you CAN influence and prepare for (checking the weather, tides, preparing for the journey), not those of which are outside of your control (I.e. Mother Nature). This helped so much with where my head was at in that point in time. It’s also funny as that’s what I coach my clients to do, focus on those things we can control in terms of how we move, think, eat and sleep. Yet I’d had almost tunnel vision and I hadn’t been applying it to my current situation. Analogies can be such a useful way to help highlight how things are similar and for our own understanding. Do you have a favourite?
