A little bit about me...

Hello! My name is Sophie, I'm 29 years old and I live in the North West of England. On Friday 6th January 2017 I gave birth to my daughter Matilda. Since her arrival I started making little notes on my phone a bit like a diary and I already love reading back over them so I decided to formalise it into a blog. Even if it's only me who ever reads this I will cherish having these memories documented. I think this blog may become a bit random but I'm planning to write about life with a baby, the joys of pregnancy and birth, travel, food and just generally give a snapshot of my life. If anyone reads this I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

Before I had a baby I was 'winging it' now I'm 'mumming it'! (That's so cheesy but I'm a big cheeseball so do expect more beauties like this!)

Love Sophie xxx

However, when I found out that we were having a baby, I didn't think about how it would impact on my precious 'me time'. Maybe I felt like I had worked it out with Hubble so I would easily work it out with a baby. Or (more likely) I just didn't think that a baby wouldn't allow me time by myself. I had glorious visions of sitting with a quiet baby who would enjoy time around the house just...
You've given birth, you can do anything! I was sat in the doctors waiting room the other day and it occurred to me that I was feeling calm and relaxed. Something I would have not felt before baby. I would have been sat worrying about and second guessing what the doctor would say. Like many people, I've battled with a mild undercurrent of anxiety on and off over the years and previously got myself to a point whereby I couldn't drive my car or go to dentist/doctors appointments because I got myself so worked up. But in me there has been a shift. Not only am I far too distracted by making sure my baby has everything she needs but I also feel much more confident in my body and what it is capable of. Before giving birth I worried about how on earth my body would be able to rise to such a challenge. Let's be honest, I think we all wonder at some point whether its even possible and why on earth we are designed this way. However, after reading some books/articles about Hypn...
