I feel so lucky to be sitting here with a happy, healthy little boy and to be 36 weeks pregnant with my second little boy. Words fail me when I comes to describing just how grateful I feel for everything I have. But feeling thankful is one thing and feeling absolutely exhausted is another. And during this pregnancy - I've experienced a lot of both of these things.

My second pregnancy, whilst it sees to have flown past, has felt quite more challenging than my first. I sometimes wonder if perhaps it's just that I'd forgotten how tired I felt whilst pregnant with Ethan.. perhaps I was just as exhausted, but maybe it's like the say it is with giving birth.. you soon forget the negatives because once they've passed they've passed and you're left with the most precious thing you could ever imagine. Who knows - all I know is that I've spent a lot of this pregnancy surrounded by a literal mist of exhaustion.
