Personal update

After a difficult pregnancy I gave birth to my second child this January, a beautiful girl. I've been rather immobile recovering from a 3rd degree tear (with all its fun accompanying problems) and I must say that I am having a blast with all these sleepless nights....
A new little one around equates to less time, which will naturally have an impact on my blogging so I just wanted to let you know that I'll likely not be able to post every week.
As always a big thanks to everyone who has followed, read and commented on my blog.

    EEEE congrats, Clare! You have certainly kept this very quiet! So sorry to hear it was difficult, and not being able to sleep most probably sucks. Take good care of yourself and I'll see you around! xx

      Thanks Sunny :) I can't quite get use to the little amount of sleep, there is quite an age gap between them so think I had forgotten about all the fun ;)

      Thank you :) I do hope my body gets back to normal soon, I'm sure the amount of extra weight I put on is not helping with the recovery, a croissant a day seemed a good idea at the time!

      Thanks, Baby is doing very well, putting on a lot of weight, she might well end up as a giant the rate she is feeding ;)

      Thanks, I think I will need a lot of beauty sleep or failing that a very opaque concealer ;)

      Thanks for the lovely message Jenny. I am feeling better week by week, though have a lot of weight to lose which I think impacts on my recovery x

      Thanks, I do crave sleep more than makeup at the moment. I'll attempt to post soon as I bought one of those new Givenchy eye palettes, though I'll have to attempt to cut down on the makeup spending...gah..

    Not sure what happened with my previous comment, it was calling me an unknown. Congratulations Clare!! I did suspect a while ago and I'm so pleased for you (minus the tearing of course). Enjoy the babymoon xx

      Lovely to hear from you Jane! Yes I got a lot of sickness with this pregnancy and I thought the first one was bad, still I am feeling a lot better in terms of the tear now, though don't know how you cope with 3, 2 is hard enough! ;)
