Hello guys, long time no speak. There\u2019s been a whirlwind of a time over here for our little family. I guess, I best catch you up before we return to our usual typical chats. <\/span><\/p>\n

Back at the end of March unfortunately COVID struck our family including Liara. She ended up in resuscitation again and in hospitals for a whole 16 days. Truthfully it was a really horrible time for us all. I ended up getting admitted for a day at the same time with something that wasn\u2019t covid but no idea what. Ant also had COVID too. During our stay, there were a lot of things that shouldn\u2019t have happened and poor care from the medicals surrounding Liara but that\u2019s a completely different story to share.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

During this time we had noticed our doggo Freyja was a tad bit larger than usual, particularly in the tummy region. This then leads us to the next subject to catch you up on\u2026. Yeah, we kind of have 8 dogs in our house. Our two babies then 6 extra cute bundles of joy in the form of puppies. It\u2019s chaotic but lovely. So, on Tuesday the 16th of April ended up becoming a doggy midwife and helped Freyja deliver her 6 babies while saving the first one’s life. Unfortunately for my heart (big cries incoming) we aren\u2019t able to keep any but are treasuring having them for the 8-10 weeks.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

So, yeah our house is a little chaotic but is filled to the brim with absolute cuteness. Liara\u2019s grown a lot and learnt so many news skills like rolling, babbling, army crawling! She does so much and the fact her psychotherapist says she\u2019s more advanced than your average baby really makes me beam with utter pride. I\u2019ll never be able to articulate how proud I am of that little girl. <\/span><\/p>\n

Over to the content aspect well it’s something I love making. However, this little time away has been beautiful just stuck in our own bubble. I once put a tad too much pressure on myself to make sure I was banging out blog after blog and if I\u2019m honest the quality definitely dropped and I ain\u2019t proud of some of that work. So, now you\u2019ll hear from me when you hear from me. We intend to do some theme park trips soon for my little thoosies\u2026 if any of you guys are still around in the readers??? To my fellow parents, I have a ton of content for you guys\u2026 particularly involving the lack of acknowledgement around your first breakaway with a baby\u2026 it needs to be spoken of more!!<\/span><\/p>\n

So, there\u2019s a little catch-up! How are you guys? Have you guys had anything exciting happen while I\u2019ve been away? I\u2019d love to hear from you all and have our own mini catch-up in my DMs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Take care all and we\u2019ll no doubt speak again real soon!\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
