We take a lot of days as they come, and don't tend to have really set times for everything. I'm very lucky that Ella has always been a very good sleeper - we actually sometimes have to wake her up. I love working, but I find being apart from her and working away from home tough. I miss her so much when we are apart. Luckily my work isn't every day - I might work for a bit, and then have lots of time to spend with her.
I do miss being spontaneous, which you just cannot be with a baby. I remember when Ella was born, it took so long to leave the house that we just gave up and stayed in!
Luckily that passes and you get into a rhythm as a family, but Ella has certainly changed things. I can't just decide to do something and go straight ahead and do it. People certainly feel the need to comment, but I think that's true for all parents. I know I'm a good mum and I'm not insecure with my parenting abilities. There is so much guilt when you are a parent. It's so important to be comfortable with yourself and believe in your abilities as a mum.
You're a keen runner and incredibly fit. How did you feel about pregnancy and your changing body shape? I loved my pregnancy. I was so confident with my growing tummy, and I wore really tight clothes to proudly show off my bump, but I had lots of insecurities after Ella's birth.
I wasn't pregnant, but still big, and what used to fit and suit me just didn't anymore. I found that really hard to deal with, especially in the early weeks.
I ran the London Marathon seven months after Ella's birth, and thought 'training for this will get my figure back'. It didn't. I felt fit but I certainly didn't have my pre-baby body. It took me nine months to get back into my jeans, and I certainly think there's something to be said for 'nine months on, nine months off'.
I ran around five miles a day, three days a week until I was five months pregnant. The icing on the cake is that everyone who attends can make a donation to the baby charity, to help raise money for an extremely worthy cause. Swishing means exchanging previously owned worn or unworn but certainly washed! It is clothes swapping for mums at its best! Maternity clothes can be expensive and are only worn for a short period of time. Once mums have outgrown them, they may never be worn again.
On the other side, many mums receive hundreds of baby clothes for their new arrival, which may never even see the light of day as they grow so quickly.
By holding a Maternity Swishing Party everyone gets to swap their way to an item they really want! Any friends and family who have either recently had a baby or are pregnant will hugely benefit from the party.
Everyone has clothes that sit in the back of the wardrobe, so this is the perfect opportunity to pass them on to someone who needs them and hopefully receive something special in return!
