The end of this week we started isolating for the next 3 weeks till birth. Travs sister has covid and we’re nervous that so many people we know have either got or been in contact with someone which is nerve racking.

Stomach feeling sore and uncomfortable

Did quite a few photoshoots. Love meeting mammas through newborn shoots...

My business partner Mel came over (cuddling with Nugget)...

...And I did a milkbath shoot with her, followed by me making use of the remaining milk bath for a shoot for my dogggy Ellie 💕

REFLECTIONS?

Starting to reflect on the birth and the baby/having a child.

I’m a very highly sensitive person and an empath so it’s been a bit emotional coming to terms with so many realities and big shifts at the moment. I really take on others stress and emotion because when I care about someone in my life that’s what I do, and I need to start learning to protect my energy or distance myself from feeling too much of other peoples traumas and letting that dictate my fears etc. Even if it’s not happening to me, but someone I care about or someone I follow on social media, it really affects me and I feel things with them... so I need to spend this time taking a step back into myself and doing what feels good for me and creating a positive love-filled space.

I’ve also been feeling a bit more anxious than usual, about the birth and baby, and I’m trying to put a stop right there and channel my emotions into excitement and love and gratitude instead of allowing myself to be led by fear.

It’s so easy to let other people you talk to influence your energy and I am just becoming more aware of protecting my energy and going forward into the last 3 weeks with as much positivity and happiness as possible. Even though we’ll be isolating which can be really hard for the mind, and feeling cut off, I think the silver lining is that I can start reflecting and getting myself into a good place mentally, meditating etc, in preparation for one of the most beautiful moments of our lives.

Trav bought me flowers which made me so happy. He always buys me roses and I’m so lucky.
