8.40am and someone is already awake from her first nap of the day. #goingtobealongday #honestparenting

I picked up my baby daughter first thing this morning & she promptly puked in my hair, so I hope your Monday is off to a better start 🙄

My little star has slept 6 hours in a row the past couple of nights! It’s honestly making so much difference to me, not having to get up for an hour after just a couple of hours napping.

An unexpected consequence of husband being home on furlough while I’m sitting around on mat leave waiting for baby to arrive is that I’ve suddenly got very invested in the test match cricket, having never watched it before in my life 🏏

I’ve a joke about wearing a face mask and Covid-19 but you probably wouldn’t get it.

@Aisha__Urooj I really enjoyed Beach Read

[Wee Scottish Wife @wee_wife]

I love to read, and today I’m finally diving into #TheFlatshare, which has been on my wish list since it came out.

What are you reading at the moment?

Another midwife appointment, so another early morning for us. I’m a little more excited than normal for today because it’s now 38 weeks, and I’m wondering if she’ll have anything different to say/notice. #pregnancyjourney #pregnant

Maternity leave before the baby arrives feels like limbo. I’ve done all the things that *need* to get done before baby arrives. So how many fun projects do I tackle today? How many chores? How much time do I allow myself to lie exhausted on the couch? #pregnancy #covidbaby

[Wee Scottish Wife @wee_wife]

Sometimes I have to sit & concentrate for a little while to feel the baby wriggling, if I’m nervous I haven’t felt her for a bit. Then there are times like now when she’s been rolling around consistently for an hour & a half... #pregnancy #motherhood

Taking the car to the big supermarket means I can pick up a few things for the snack bag I’m taking to the hospital 🤭 How much will be actual food & how much is going to be sugar based, do you think? #mumlife #pregnant

[Wee Scottish Wife @wee_wife]

Embracing my inner #mrshinch today - done a thorough bathroom & kitchen clean to hopefully keep things spick & span until the baby arrives! 37 weeks now, so she really could come at any time 👶🏻 #firsttimemum #parentblogger

[Wee Scottish Wife @wee_wife]

I’ve been getting up somewhere between 8-9 the past couple of weeks, but I’m bouncing up today to make it to a 9am midwife appointment! It’s so exciting to see how the baby is growing & hear the heartbeat.

[Wee Scottish Wife @wee_wife]

Every morning for the last couple of weeks I’ve said to myself ‘today I will clean the bathroom’, and then haven’t. Will today be the day? #housewifefail

New blog post: we bought a house! But why not just rent? https://t.co/bT0exDFZBv

Some days I’m loving working from home at the moment. Other days the repetition sinks in too much and I praise myself for getting up & shower before my 9am start 🤷🏻‍♀️#lockdownlife

New year’s resolution: get more involved on Twitter! 🙊

[Wee Scottish Wife @wee_wife]

I’ve been a little sporadic, I know, but hoping to start using Twitter a bit more now. Keep your eyes open for a new blog post this afternoon 👀 #weddingblogger #newlywed

[Wee Scottish Wife @wee_wife]

Hit serious pre-wedding stress this weekend 🙈 Starting to feel better again now but just got really overwhelmed by the jobs that need doing & how soon everything is! #weddingplanning #wedmin #weddingstress #bridechilla #engaged

Back in the office, trying to cope with the lack of air con. #britishproblems #heatwaveuk
