A REALISTIC WEEK WITH ME POST PARTUM👶🏼🤍 | VLOG | MOLLYMAE

quick disclaimer for the start of this video this isn't where the video begins but for the next clip you're going to see i wow the birds are chirping the i didn't actually realize that midas was covered in sick at the back of his hair so when i'm looking in the viewfinder and you can see me like looking weirdly at his hair because i'm thinking that doesn't look quite right but i didn't know what it was he was covered in vomit um and another thing for this video is nice drinking game for you take a shot every time i say the word um because all i can say is my brain absolutely not working properly and i remember this from my postpartum journey with bambi for me baby brain through pregnancy does not even compare to baby brain once you give birth because when I'm tired like as you'll be able to see this video when I'm tired I am a different person like I talk about I talk differently I can't string a sentence together I just keep saying um um um because I can't like get my words out quickly enough like they don't cut they don't it's not doesn't flow basically That is why I'm a woman that needs my sleep.And that is why I'm already working as hard as I can to get my boy into a routine because I'm like, I need this little boy to be the same kind of sleeper that Bambi has been for us.And that comes with work, patience, perseverance, and for us, a really, really solid routine.I'm doing my best to get a bit of a system with like bottle times, nap times, all of that stuff.I am the queen of routine and I've got to stop doing that.Anyway.

Enjoy this video.It is definitely just, just go with it.If you want to stick around to just catch up with me and spend a couple weeks postpartum with me, I love you all millions and enjoy the video.Good morning, good morning.What a beautiful morning it is this morning.Ha ha, hee hee.

Cups are in the room with us.Is everything okay?Would appear not.Are we getting a bald patch yet?That's what I want to know because around about this time all of Bambi's hair started to fall out and she was left with what can only be described as a literal strip of hair on the back of her head.But anyway, good morning from this boiling, smouldering, scorching hot day.

It's going to be 30 degrees today.All the best.We are actually Right, what three year old, three year old?What three week old should be lifting their head like that?Get ready for Bambi's sports day at nursery, which we're actually really excited about and we've just been teasing Tommy about all week, because obviously there's going to be like a dad's race.And I said to him, if he doesn't win the dad's race, like please don't bother coming home.

Like it's, yeah, like he has to win the dad's race.It's kind of bad that we care more about the dad's race than like the egg and spoon race and all the things that Bambi's going to be doing.There's probably going to be a mum's race as well, but I've purposefully put on flip flops, so I don't have to partake in that because, no.One thing about me at the minute is I literally weed myself at any given occasion.I actually went to the gym the other night with Tommy, I know, shocking, and I was warming up to exercise and I weed myself whilst warming up before we'd even left for the gym and had to change my trousers, so it was pretty funny actually, but he's very hiccupy, the same way Bambi is. was but I think Bambi had colic when she was a newborn and I don't think Midas does.I think he does, he's a lot better with his feeding, he's a lot better with his burping, he gets his wind up really really well but the only thing that he does get is really bad hiccups.

Anyway he's getting a bit fidgety so I'm going to put him in his house for the day.What do you dress a newborn in for these kind of temperatures?That's what I want to know.I'm giving you guys a nursery reveal right now which wasn't part of the planbut also I've got that many housings to show you all, that I'm kind of just having to accept that I'm probably not gonna be able to reveal all the rooms in the way that I've really wanted.This little play suit, play suit, jumper suit, romper thing from Zara.

He's literally probably gonna be too big for it, I think.That looks way too small for him, but let's see.

Hey, Toffee, Toffee, tease.

The outfit actually fitted him perfectly but the only thing is is when it's um we don't have a vest on or like any fabric on their back burping them is really hard because your hand doesn't slide across their back like it gets stuck on their skin.I need to sort myself out I've got sleep in my eyes I haven't brushed my teeth yet poor child he's probably like can you stop talking near me woman like actually can you go away until you've brushed your teeth.Today's outfit I'm absolutely obsessed with this is or maybe Apart from the flip -flops, them, you, me, Erin got me those for my birthday.These trousers, I am just obsessed with.They were from our Endless Day chapter two drop, and I think they're still in stock.They have this really gorgeous tie here, which you can take off and wear as a little headscarf, or you can wear as a little neckerchief.

Are you okay?

Do, do, do, do, do, do.Do, do, do, do, do, do.

Could be daddy's up in a second so that I can at least go and brush my teeth and wash my face.put a little bit of skincare on for sports day which I thought was gonna get cancelled because of the weather but they've just moved the time of it so it's gone from like this afternoon to this morning it's a little bit cooler to do a very quick slick back but anyway I feel like I actually not properly said hello hello everybody how are we all doing welcome back to my first well welcome to my first proper vlog postpartum have Ihairy armpits probably more than ever I don't know what this vlog is going to entail But I guess I will just vlog I can over the next week or so just moments mornings afternoons You guys kind of know that like I actually don't really vlog that much When I'm like in my mode, so it's kind of a little bit tricky for me at the moment I'm not really sure how I'm going to Navigate it, but I always use that word in my vlogs navigate because I'm always navigating something Also, I've always see Perry talking about how she does her slick backs with this Fenty hair leave -in conditioner instead of like using a Loads of hairspray.I will still be using hairspray I'll be honest with you, but just so that we can get that initial kind of position.Oh, it smells really nice update for you in this Basking some is that things are still fab still feeling really good I actually update on the breastfeeding is I have actually Stop breastfeeding now.I'm still pumping because my boobs still need to release because it doesn't just like stop overnight, but but I actually just wanted to kind of leave it on a high and not get to a point where I started to resent it and not enjoy it, which was always my plan.

I always said in my head, like, leave it on a high.I want to remember this, like, few weeks breastfeeding Midas as, like, a really nice positive thing, which it has been.In the exact same way as Bambi, his feeds just took a really, really long time.I just thought Imogen I always call it Imagination, but it's actually Imogen Horton, isn't it?I've always just called it Imagination.I was on her Instagram stories that when she feeds her children, like, they have really, really long feeds and it takes a really, really long time for them to, like, be satisfied, like, with their breastfeeds.

And what a woman that, like, she was able to do that.And the mums out there that do do those really long breastfeeds.But, like, it was getting to the point where Midas was on me for, like, an hour, kind of, minimum at a time, like, to get a feed.And I just, I don't know, I kind of got to a point where I was like,to feel like, oh, I'm not really enjoying this that much anymore.Um, which listen, it's not meant to always be enjoyable with the breastfeeding.

Like you do it for them.I'm really happy with what I did.It's more than I thought I was going to be able to do, to be honest.Um, and I'm really happy that I've kind of left it on a high and he's still having my breast milk via a bottle mixed with a little bit of formula going really, really well.Um, there's transition over and, I'm feeling good about it.I'm trying to like not make it a too big of a deal in my head because otherwise I will end up just feeling guilty and feeling sad and bad about it.

But like I say, it's way more than I thought I was going to do.I literally thought I was going to do like a day and then be like, yeah, no, this isn't good for me or my mental health.So I'm really happy that I felt good doing it and got two and a half weeks exclusive on the boob and then for the rest, breast milk in a bottle really.So yeah one thing I will say that I'm kind of excited about doing now that I'm not breastfeeding anymore not that you really should do this when you have a newborn anyway but as he starts to get a little bit older I'm excited to start wearing perfume again because I feel like when you breastfeed like you just want to avoid putting anything like strong smelling or even like moisturizer and stuff I just felt like if I put any even my shower gel I used to notice that when I was having showers and then breastfeeding him I felt like his skin would look irritated immediately after because I feel like my shower gel on my skin was then going on to his skin and I always kind of gave him a bit of a rash on his face but I am really looking forward to being able to wear perfume again because that's one thing that's like so ingrained in my day -to -day like just to spray perfume on that when you have a baby you kind of avoid doing it it's like oh my god i literally miss i miss wearing perfume so much i miss like picking my scent of the day and like i don't know knowing that i'm gonna smell nice just trust them i have to just like rely on my natural body odors which no one really wants to do do they one more thing before i rush downstairs i just wanted to say has anybody had any experience with having skin tags removedBecause through my whole pregnancy, I can't remember if I mentioned it to you guys, but for my whole pregnancy I've been thinking, when I'm postpartum or like when I've had the baby, I am literally desperate to have my skin tags removed because from pregnancy I gained quite a lot of skin tags out of nowhere.These were actually from my first pregnancy with Bambi.

I don't know if you guys can see them.These two two skin tags here i've also got another skin tag here um i've got skin tags a couple on my legs a couple in the region that region like in my crotch so i i mean i'm not too worried about those ones because no one sees them but like every day i'm like i see these and they are surely removable no like i could probably people actually say you can remove them yourself i'm not going to do that because knowing me i'll probably Sever an artery or something.

Wow.

Right Lambie, what team are you at nursery?What team?Team Yellow.Team Yellow.Into the spirit there.Wow.

What are you coming to do babe?

Coming to win.

And how are you going to win?

Beating all the other dads.Spongebob actually.Spongebob is for you.

Oh no, I can't bear Spongebob.

I love Spongebob.I love you too.

Give me a kiss.This is it here.A little bit better.Here we are.Lovely.Both kids in the car.

We're just doing a quick base jump.Do a quick base jump!The skip man she's here to switch the skip over at the back down there and he's just watched Tommy do that in the front garden I am so embarrassed.Oh, that is brilliant the peace and quiet I feel in this moment right now.We've just had a I've basically been in this room for about four days consecutively, and I'm not even being dramatic.This is our living room.

Again, I have so much to show you of the house.I'm also hoping that my camera's not making loads of weird noises, because I watched some of the footage back from the other day that I filmed.It's a few days later now.We did say this vlog was going to be a bit sporadic.And my camera was making loads of focus noises, which is annoying.But anyway, another noise that's been annoying.

has been the sound of this air -conditioning unit in this living room.I am so, so, so grateful that we were able to get an air -conditioning unit, let me say that first, because I ordered two after looking at the weather forecast for this week, and then I went to order three more, because they are a godsend, and then when I went to order the additional three that I wanted, it said we wouldn't be able to get them for months.It was like, you can pre -order them now, but you're not gonna get them for like another few months, and I was like, oh my gosh, and they literally sold out everywhere, um, Which is crazy because obviously there's a massive heatwave and everyone's had the same idea.But I'm just lucky that we were able to get the two that we were getting.Anyway, cool story Molly.We have been in this room for four days, pretty much consecutively, just trying to stay in the cool.

And the air conditioning unit is very, very loud and like the noise has become legitimately just like the noise of like my ears now, like just ringing white noise.And it's, yeah, I've just turned it off to vlog and just chat to you guys and wow, the peace.I've just spoke for 1 minute 30 about the noise of an air conditioning unit and I don't even know what else I've said.Anyway, how are we all?It's Friday today.Tommy's just gone to pick Bambi up from nursery and get her a little ice cream.

And I was actually really looking forward to the little trip out myself, but we decided collectively that it wasn't a good idea to take Midas out of the house just because it is far too hot.It's on the weather app right now saying 32 degrees outside, so I just think we need to stay indoors.in the shade in the cool next to the AC unit when I turn it back on but yeah I actually just feel like one thing for me this postpartum is getting out of the house equals much better mental health state for me like also just in terms of I've been really lucky a couple times to be able to go to the office and like see my team mate maybe and just like not go back to work or anything but also just be around something that's just not necessarily like the newborn bubble 24 -7 has been super game -changing for me like it's just yeah I can't explain it just like stepping out of the bubble for like a moment and then coming back in I come in with like a completely different mindset even if it's just walking around the block like just getting out of the house with him or getting out of the house just for an hour by myself oh yeah someone can help with him for a little bit because he is pretty straightforward at this phase like just literally eat, sleep poo repeat although he's a little bit constipated at the moment so the poo part is not really part of the routine at the minute because I think the transition from the breast milk to formula it's like obviously just been a change for his stomach.Sports day by the way was so cute I can't show you any footage because obviously there's just like loads people in the footage and I can't share it.Tommy did not win the dad's race he came pretty much dead last um he's he's told Bambi that he won because family doesn't really understand and like he was like I'm not telling her that I lost so he's told her that he won but also the funniest part of that whole day was him doing that sprint warm up on the lawn and the skip man standing in front of him like the skip man was literally just stood in the driveway like waiting to pull his van onto the driveway and for us to pull off so he wasn't blocking us in and instead he saw Tommy doing a sprint directly towards him in a yellow spongebob top with absolutely zero context the best part was when Tommy was running towards him the man didn't even say anything and then didn't even comment afterwards like he just stood there completely still like Literally, it was the most awkward thing I've ever witnessed in my life.Their mums just stood there like, what the heck just happened, and told me to go away.

even say anything apart from, oh, I pulled my groin, which he hadn't.The minute it's kind of just like a very groundhog day, like with a newborn at this stage, it's literally just going through the motions.They nap, they have a bottle, they have a nappy change, they nap, they have a bottle, they have a nappy change.Like, it really is Just like that.You're starting to stay awake a little bit more now.When I say a little bit more, I mean like 30 minutes more.

There's so much of the house I want to show you.This is the living room.Honestly, before I came home from hospital, I think it was like a 60 minute makeover in this house.Taylor came here to watch Bambi for me on one of the days and she was like, if you saw what was going on in the house right now, it was, yeah, legit like a 60 minute makeover.And somehow, somehow, when I turned up from hospital and came home, like the house was completely done.And I will be forever in debt to the team that made it happen.

Like, Aesthetic Design, my interior designer, Swan Shore, my builders, like, Harrison Collier who did all the joinery, like literally, that everyone absolutely pulled through.But yeah, if you guys saw this lounge, well.compared to what it was before, it's still not fully finished.I don't think that Bambi picture's gonna stay there.But the difference, I wanna properly show you, we've got storage for Bambi's toys now, we've got carpet now instead of the wooden floor.I need to hopefully get some time to properly show you around the rooms, but the most insane and best transformation I think is Bambi's big girl bedroom because it's a bedroom of literal dreams.

Oh, he's kind of fallen asleep now.Wonder if I can transfer you.One thing I know I need to do is put that AC unit back on.Let me turn it on and you'll hear the noise that I'm talking about.Probably doesn't sound that bad over here, but that, like, in your ear is constantly for four days.And we've also got one in our bedroom as well, because mine and Tommy's bedroom is basically the hottest room in the entire house.

It's okay to have big feelings.Big feelings are okay.I'm here to stay with your big feelings.That's literally what I have to play over and over in my head on a nursery day.On a nursery day because nursery day is a no nap day because my three and a half year old does still have a nap in the middle of the day to help her get through the day.And basically on a nursery day, there is no nap, so there's a lot of big feelings when she gets home from nursery, which is fine.

But I just have to repeat that Miss Rachel song, It's Okay to Have Big Feelings, really does remind me that it's gonna be okay.And I don't need you shouting at me.My cat's shouting at me.What do you want me to do?I know it's hot.I know, I know it's hot.

I know it's hot.Go into the lounge.It's nice and cool in there.What I love in 32 degree heat is like standing over an air fryer and cooking toddler meals that you just know are not even gonna get eaten anyway, but...I'm also boiling an egg.There's just a lot of hot, a lot of hotness right now.

It's okay.

I'm going to do like a bit of a picky tea for her.

So it's like a few bits on a plate.I used to love that dinner on hot days.I kind of like a picnicky snack.I'm going to do some olives because we love olives, strangely.It'd be satisfying, wouldn't it?Do you want to help?

It's here for you, look.I suppose, yeah, but those ones, I have to wash the herbs off them because I don't think you'll like the herbs.So it's got herbs, you see.One's here with no herbs.Would you like some hummus with your breadsticks?Don't eat it in the lounge.

Past, nope, just gone past ten.And I just realised that earlier when I was vlogging, both children are asleep by the way, we're in blissful time zone before.Sometimes I say really weird things like blissful time zone, like what am I talking about?I also need to stop doing that in my vlogs, I need to stop putting myself down when I say stuff, like I say stuff and I have to own it and I'm always like what am I talking about?But most of the time I'm like what am I talking about?Anyway.

both children are asleep we've probably got about half an hour before Midas is up for no actually about an hour before next feed and cycle starts again and ready for the night but I forgot to tell you that literally yesterday November was that I was talking to you guys about getting my skin tags removed.Anyway, the literal same day I got my skin tags removed, it was really, really random.I went to somewhere for something completely separate and literally just nipped in and I was talking to them about my skin tags.I was like, oh, do you know anywhere that like I can get my skin tags removed?And do you know anything about that?And they were like, you can literally do it here.

Like we've got a guy.I was like, oh my god and i was really scared because i thought this is one of those things that like you don't want to rush into because it's like on my face and in that region but i got them removed and i'm checking out this vlog for the night now i'm going to carry on vlogging this weekend but i just thought i'd let you know that i had them cauterized is it when they like burn them off it was spicy like it was sizzly like literally could smell like burning skin they've just scabbed over right now so you can just see like the red dots but they've hopefullygonna turn white and there's gonna be like fresh skin underneath.I've got my skin tags removed, like how about that?I just thought I had to update you on that because it was just pretty random that I was talking about it and then literally got it the same day.I will do my best to vlog bits and bobs this weekend.

I'm actually gonna have a little bit of time just me and both children tomorrow, which I will be so flipping for real with you.I've tried to avoid as best I can up until now.Midas is one month old tomorrow.and I haven't really had the confidence in the way I'd hoped to well no actually I knew I would be worried about this like the thought of having both of them on my own just because as I mentioned so many times Bambi is a very like full -on toddler and she doesn't really like she's not that independent in like a weird way basically she likes my attention, she likes attention on her as a toddler would and I just feel like what if I'm having a really difficult day with my disorder, a difficult afternoon or he's like not getting his wind up and then bam he wants me and then I just feel like that is a recipe for disaster but equally like there's mums out there that have 2, 3, 4, 5 10 children and probably can do it by themselves.Look at Paris, for God's sake, Paris can literally hold down the fort with seven children and I am worrying about two.But, that's just me being honest, it is a daunting thought.

I mean, if he's asleep and if he's chilled, or if he's being fine, then easy, like I've got.But also, maybe, oh, I saw, when I was speaking about it, I saw some mums giving me advice to use a sling.Even though the last time I used a sling and posted it, everyone was like, you're using the sling wrong.Also, I feel like I'm going to get some comments about the breastfeeding, which I'm nervous about because I'm sure people will be like, if it was going really well, then why did you stop?And he was just cluster feeding, because that's one thing I got last time when I said the feeds were taking so long.Everyone was like, this is normal.

This is just cluster feeding.You're not educated about the breastfeeding.But I also really want to be as honest as I can be with you guys and just open.And by doing that, I knowI'm going to open myself up to like the comments stuff but anyway why do I care that's literally not like me like I just do my thing and let the comments roll but also I guess breastfeeding is just one of those topics that like is a quite I've also interrupted myself 14 times and I just did it again then because yeah anyway uh what was i saying before that chapter like 14 before that um yeah having by myself i'm gonna be literally only because somebody has this thing on tomorrow that like he literally can't get out of um and also like i need to be able to do this like this is i'm a mom of two like i need to be able to have the children by myself like i've been really lucky up until now that me and tommy have been massively tag teaming it and I've had support from like family members and just like people really like grouping around me which has been exactly what I needed this time around and also a massive reason why my mental health is a lot better this time because I knew the kind of support that I was gonna need, I knew the kind of like I was gonna need to lean more on people especially with having a toddler.Anyway I'm gonna go to bed now, it won't be long before we're back up.

I sometimes before the first bedtime feed don't go to bed because I almost feel like waking up for that first feed feels worse, you feel groggier.A couple of times I've actually stayed awake for the second feed as well, because I'm like, if the second feed's at like one, two in the morning, I'm like, I might as well just stay awake, because if I go to sleep, sometimes I end up feeling like you wake up and you literally feel like you're on another planet, like you literally feel like you're on another solar system.It's, yeah.Anyway, love you guys, and I'll try and film what I can this weekend.Another day, another dollar.Hello guys, it's the next day.

No, it's not, that's a lie, it's Sunday.Yesterday was Saturday.We have just got back from church and a little breakfast slash lunch out.I forgot to take an antihistamine this morning, so the hay fever is absolutely rife.But I just wanna quickly, before I start tidying it, show you the reality, the reality of a newborn night aftermath.We absolutely go for it, like we literally, there's like legit dirty nappies on our bed, and that's just me being for real.

No like poo ones, just wee ones.Not that that excuses it, but let me just show you what I'm walking into right now.

Ta -da!Here we are!

Goodness, we've got bottles, we've got nappies, wipes, muslins, blankets filled with sick.um more bottles upon more bottles um yeah i mean it's a lot there's a lot going on here we also actually have our pram one of our prams in here because i got that desperate last night that i said maybe we should try rocking him to sleep in the pram and then transferring him which actually didn't work um do you know what though weirdly let me just turn the ac unit off weirdly The night started off terribly last night, hence why the pram came upstairs.But then in the end he actually ended up having quite a decent night and slept from midnight until 3 .30ish and then from 3 .30 until 6 .30 and then went back to sleep from 6 .30 until about 9 o 'clock and we got up, went to church, Tommy got up with Bambi.I actually suggested that last night we should sleep in separate rooms so that he woke up this morning feeling a lot more energy so he could be better with Bambi but he did the night with me last night and then still got up with Bambi.still had energy he's actually quite good on like little sleep even though when I say little sleep we probably had like a good five hours last night which is more than enough really for a newborn night.I'm very, I'm a very very messy person but I hate living in mess, that's like my thing.

Also massive tip before a newborn night, not that you need my tips because what am I talking about, um is I love starting off with a really tidy bedroom like a really calm tidy tranquil space and then In the morning it looks like this, but I love going to bed feeling super organized.I know where the wipes are, I know where the nappies are, I know where the bottles are, like I know where everything is so that I'm not like in the dark trying to like find things, like even like dummies and stuff, like I know where everything is, which I love.Anyway, I'm gonna tidy this up now.Let's do a quick kind of tap to tidy moment.Three, two, one.There.

I mean, it's not perfect.His bed -making skills are not my finest, but considering I'm going to be back in there in a few hours, I think it's fab.I've got my Owlet sock on charge, air -conditioning units back on, and the room is somewhat orderly again, ready for another night washing.This kitchen is literally like a greenhouse.Some thoughts and feelings that I wanted to share with a few, like, baby gadgets.Sorry for people that aren't really interested or aren't mums watching this, but I... tried a few new things out this time around with Midas I didn't have with Bambi like honestly in the space of three years I feel like I mean some of these things were around they probably were all around actually I'm acting like as if I had a baby decades since my last one has been three years but it is wild how much things can change in three years but I do feel like

like there's a few more things this time that I wanted to try one of which being the Owlet sock which I just mentioned upstairs which I have been absolutely loving I don't know how I really did that without um I don't know how I had Bambi without the Owlet to be fair though I had a breathing mat underneath her which is kind of a similar concept where literally if you lift Bambi if you lift Bambi off the um If you lifted her off her cot, the breathing mat instantly would detect that it couldn't sense a heartbeat and an alarm would sound.So if there was a problem in the night, I would have known about it.But that breathing mat actually got discontinued.A lot of things with babies seem to get discontinued because The regulations change all the time and the guidelines get stricter, which completely is good to be honest.I ended up getting the owl at this time round, which I've been absolutely loving.I love that I can like see his sleep the next day.

It's kind of like an aura ring, but for babies, which I just think is so fun because I'm one of those people that like, I mean, I'm not wearing my aura ring at the minute.Fun fact, I actually, do you remember guys the other week, I said that I had a new aura ring and it was cream and I was absolutely buzzing with it.Well, funny story, when I was at Venezuela and Noah's wedding, we were in the ceremony and Bambi was playing with my and my clutch had loads of things in it, one of which being my aura ring.Anyway, she was playing with my clutch and obviously, as toddlers do, they tip the whole thing upside down, everything fell out.And I thought I'd managed to put everything back into it.However, when I went to put my Oura ring back on that night, I took it off because it didn't really go with my outfit.

Not that that outfit really slayed anyway, as we all know.I went to put my Oura ring back on and the Oura ring wasn't in the bag.Bearing in mind I'd had that new Oura ring for literally, like, a week.I was so gutted.Cool story.But basically, the app can just basically tell you about the baby's night's sleep and how they slept and, like, the orange dots here like when he woke up so he was awake um like here well i don't know why the first part of the night hasn't recorded on this one but anyway regardless it tells you when they're in like a deep sleep a light sleep it tells you how much sleep they had in total

Total sleep of nearly eight hours, seven hours, 57.So like, I don't know, it tells you like their heart rate.So when he's wearing the socket or like come up here with his heart rate, his oxygen levels, like it's just so reassuring.And if there was a problem, like it does alarm and let you know, which I think is just amazing.So that, this time around has been amazing.Get on with the story.

I did invest in a couple of, bottle related items like bottle prep machine I changed this time and the bottle washing machine like bottle sterilizer I changed this time.I got two products from Baby Brezza.I got this three -in -one bottle sterilizer washer dryer thing which I will say I've been really enjoying.It doesn't fit loads of bottles in it I mean like right now I have about eight bottles to wash so I have to do this with two loads and it has a very long cycle time of nearly 80 minutes.Like I say it washes your bottles for you it sterilizes them and then it dries them somewhat sometimes I do still take them out and everything's still soaking but anyway I've been really loving this bit of kit but the one thing I haven't gotten along with annoyingly has been the Babybrezza prep machine I actually haven't used this in about a week now because Long story short, one evening I went to use it and it was basically saying that you have to clean this filter part here.Basically, sorry, this is so not interesting for people that aren't mums, but what I loved about the David Brez machine that sold it to me, and all my friends have had it and have gotten along with it really, really well, it's kind of like a coffee machine, if you will, because it has the powder in it already, so it can literally make the bottle for you.

You just press a button and the powder comes out, the water comes out at the right temperature, and I thought, wow, that is literally game -changing, because the Tommy Tippy one I had with I haveand there's a lot more of like a cleaning process to it and basically every time that I've gone to use this baby brush machine the filter is like blocked and it comes up with this like error message here basically saying that the filter is blocked.And let me tell you there is nothing more stressful than when you've maybe left a little bit too late to make your bottle and your baby is Screaming at you and you're like the first time it happened.It was coming up with this error message I was on chat GPT trying to figure out that mics was screaming at me The machines not working like I got and I was so like I don't know It was just a very stressful moment and that really made me fall out of my baby brother prep machine and I haven't Made up with it yet.There's still time for me to make up with it little mini dishwasher.Admittedly, I did just have a full -scale fight with it, trying to fit in four bottles.

It doesn't fit four bottles and all the bits you need for the bottles in it, hence why I've still got bits here that...Anyway.Calm, breathe.I think the heat in this kitchen has not helped that whole process, to be honest with you.Like, I literally have beads of sweat dropping off of my forehead.Sit down for approximately two minutes before I have to get Bambi up from her nap.

You can have blue.Thank you.That looks lovely.So what have we got here then?

Cupcakeinator.

Cupcakeinator.This is the first time I think I've watched you bake anything in the kitchen.

First time I've baked anything in my life, I think.

You're really doing some great activities here.

I think that's the perfect cupcake.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Bambi and daddy made cupcakes.

I think Bambi's licked them all as well, that's the topic.Brilliant.

I had to get changed because mine is pooed all over me, so if you're wondering why I look a bit crazy.Yeah, really nice.Really fluffy texture on the inside.Very bouncy.You come from my Bake Off apron.I think it's that rolling pin.

Well, my rolling pin gets used as a Play -Doh rolling pin now.I've got it in, baby.Don't worry.

It's all part of the process.I'm excited.

Team of all guys, but we've decided to come for a family outing.Hello.No, not that I can talk about breath.Your breath didn't smell, by the way.But if anyone, I've literally basically had a piece of toast to eat all day.If anyone can smell me right now.

Oh, there's a smile.I'm surprised it's the glasses.

I would order my elbow.But you can't.

You locked it in?

Yeah.

Right, anyway, take the boom and crown seat, will you?I've just come to a local hub for a Sunday rice, just because, as I said, really helps to get out of the house.What do you mean?

He's got all the cognac all over him.

Put me on his yawns.This has got poo on his feet.I'm just about everywhere.Surely not, babe.He's got all the cognac on his yawns.

He's dragging a three gram Prada bag all over the place.I've had enough.

Here we are.It's our family for you.

Cupcakeinator.Cupcakeinator.

Midasinator.Thank you very much.Is this illegal in a heatwave?I don't know.One thing about me is I'm going to have a roast dinner come rain or shine.Tommy's got the more sensible heatwave option.

No, Tommy's just at a really weird point with his training.

You are, aren't you?

I don't know why I'm trying to I really want a burger and chips, but...

You're trying to eat clean, aren't you?

Yeah, I don't know what for.But you're not really sure what.If I stop, don't speak.

Honestly, you couldn't write it.It's like genuinely been asleep the whole time and then the food gets put down and it's roaring.Right, little mouse.Morning guys, it's quite a few days later from when I last checked in and I'm out of the house and It was really good.I actually feel like I just really needed again just an hour to just go away, and then come back.Bambi's at nursery today, and Tommy's at home with Midas, so I am going to quickly get my nails done.

This camera is sitting better on this car, like, is it?It's not rattling as much, because my old camera used to - my old car used to rattle so much, but this car is a lot smoother, to be fair.But anyway, um, yeah, I just, I feel like I needed a little bit of me time this morning.It's been Not a large site, I don't know.It's just been a bit, a little bit trenchy the last few days.Just very, very, very groundhog day.

Like I've said to you guys a million times, bottle, eat, sleep, repeat, eat, sleep, repeat, poo, eat, sleep, repeat, poo, as it is in the newborn bubble trenches.Still don't really know what it is. I'm actually gonna get red nails today.I I don't know if I'm gonna regret that.I just feel like I want a little bit of, like, a fresh feeling, and red nails always make my hands look more tanned.To show you properly, um, my skin tags, the scabs fell off them, um, yesterday, and I'm so, so happy.I feel - I just -

sorry.I couldn't be happier to like, see my neck without those two skin tags on them.Like, it's so freeing and it's not, it wasn't nothing major but I just, I don't know, it just used to bug me every time I saw them like, and now they're not there and it's, and the scabs have fallen off and it looks great.So I shall show you in a second when I pull up.But anyway, yeah.Out for an hour.

Feels really, really good.I just needed to clear my head a little bit, and if we're really lucky, I've been able to do that today.Just gonna grab my second coffee of the day before I get my nails done.I've been doing this at home where I pour the syrup into the shot.

It melts it, doesn't it?Separates.Thank you so much.

How'd you get it to go like frothy on the top?So to say, I used the machine for that one but I just frothed milk.Oh really?Like I would get that and it's a bit warm.You just use the top or you could teaspoon it on.Oh nice.

Oh thank you so much.That's alright.I probably will hate them by tomorrow though.Some of them are a little bit too square.I've been quiet because I've just been in the bedroom with Midas for hours just like rocking him and like being in that quiet mode.so um also take a shot every time i say i've said um in this video actually no because i've cropped most of them out because i've been so mortified about just like anyway oh um i am struggling a little bit today i actually came on my period which would explain why i think i was i actually felt like really meh yesterday um i went and got my nails done yesterday i was having a really like low day mood wise and it was because i was coming up my period and it was pretty it's been like pretty much well this time it's actually been more like five weeks um since i gave birth given birth and with bambi i came on my period like four weeks literally to the day after birth so um yeah i'm quite literally having the heaviest period of my life um right now which isn't really adding to the vibes like vibe check is it's not really there the last two days because you know as we know girls like having a period is not fun anyway but the one after birth it's like you're basically like you're basically yeah like just it's a lot it's a lot anyway i was gonna say i'm actually gonna bring this vlog to a close because this vlog has been not my finest work because i really have struggled to like even be able to string a sentence together and i'm now like mentally trying to prepare myself in this moment like another night last night my just kept me up from three until quarter past five.

We were awake within four.Wasn't fun, wasn't fun.And then tomorrow, it's one of those days where Bambi goes to nursery, and it's like, tonight, you're just thinking, how on earth am I gonna get up at 7 .30 and get Bambi to nursery, and be productive, and get her breakfast, and you can't just have a slow morning, because you've had a bad, basically, we hope tonight goes better.We hope.Hopefully, the next vlog, I'll be a little bit more me, but equally, this is literally, He's not even five weeks old yet.he's five weeks old in a couple days so it's fine it's early days and yeah thank you for being patient with me i love you guys and hopefully i will see you all in my next video and hopefully that won't be too long away bye guys
