Now usually Emma and I would be reading your correspondence and secrets but whilst we're getting our home set up and ready we thought we'd share a little snippet from our first ever Instagram live. Yes you heard right Instagram live.

It was so much fun chatting with all of you catching up with Emma reading all the comments it was so interactive and if you missed it have no fear because it is saved on the secret mum pod Instagram so you can watch it back at your earliest convenience and watch it as many times as you want because to be honest it was the best Instagram live ever now let's get into the live. Are you alright? I'm okay, how are you? Yeah, I'm alright. I'm trying to think about what's happened since I last saw you. Oh, you went raving the other day. Emma fully went raving to a balloon festival. It wasn't a festival, it was a museum. Sorry, museum. My children were in London, kept seeing the adverts. And they were like, Emma was here. And I was like, yeah.

And they were like, let's go to the rave. Let's go to the festival. I was like, let's do it. It was more like ravey than I thought it was going to be. And just a fucking exhausting day out, to be honest with you. Because Joseph was a bit scared and overwhelmed by it all. So I carried him around the whole museum by myself eight months pregnant I was shattered you looked you you took it so well like you I from the Instagram stories would have never thought that you were even remotely pregnant

in any way the way you were grooving oh honestly though like I haven't managed to work out for weeks and then I have a day like that and i think who needs to go to the gym i'm carrying a toddler up and downstairs for two hours that was so funny it was the fact that he was just perched on perched on your belly like you know what they're things that you wear around your tummy and you click it in and they sit on that was your belly it's like he's a rubber ring permanently attached to me. Don't want you to say it. It's so odd hearing Emma swear. She's a right potty mouth.

I'm absolutely, filth me. Do you even listen to the podcast? I feel like, oh, let's hope. I know. I literally had, Sophie, I had such anxiety about, because obviously I say baby's name to you, don't I Emma knows baby's name so I say his name but obviously no one knows his name you nearly said it on your Instagram story yesterday so scary not to say it it must be so hard but yeah so you had the Newseum this week.

Yeah, Balloon Museum. Have I spoken to you since we went to London Zoo for Joseph's birthday? No, I haven't spoken to you about Joseph's birthday. Oh, it was really cute. Was it? He kind of understood that it was his birthday this time, which was nice. He keeps saying, I'm two, I'm two. And he started learning the happy birthday song. So it was nice.

We went to London Zoo because obviously he loves animals boss he was very contrary on the day like he would ask for ages to see something also it was pissing down all day so we were just like dashing between things like trying not to get too wet so we would like trek over to see something he'd be like giraffes giraffes we go over to see the giraffes we got over to see the giraffes he's like how about a crocodile we're like okay don't think there's any crocodiles here but how about a monkey he's like yeah monkey monkey go over see the monkey he's like how about a lion get there quick spent the whole day just you know not not meeting his needs did you see any animals we saw some animals were hiding because it was raining but we saw a fair few and yeah i think i think he had a nice time yes it was good i love that he knows how is he doing because we keep talking about this but i

don't know if it's ever on the episode we keep talking about the fact of joseph's whole dealing with the baby yeah he's still not really like it's so funny because he doesn't really talk about it to us like he he doesn't joseph is a mood he is a whole vibe i was making him laugh in the bath you really were do you know why? it's because you were singing his favourite song if anyone two ladies started singing Old Macdonald with him at the checkout in Tesco yesterday it made my day

he was like go on girls he's like that's my jam had a what? had a cow say it again for me now sing along

yeah no it's funny like he's not really acknowledging the baby to us but he keeps saying at nursery he's like dead excited and his nursery teacher came over to babysit him the other day and she said like in your house? yeah the house yeah yeah

they're amazing they're just you know they're like second parents. And she said he was like pointing out the Moses basket and saying like, that's where the baby's going to sleep and saying that he was excited. I was like, what the hell? He doesn't say any of that to me and Stefan. He's being very, very coy.

Oh. Someone just messaged saying, have I been to Folly Farm? I have, yes, in wales it's near where stephan's parents live and we went last year on like the hottest day of the year so we're going to go and try again now that he's a little bit older next summer but yeah long long lead safari well as you know we're going to long lead very near my due date so and i told her to go into the monkey aquarium the monkey aquarium that's a funny crazy aquarium the um monkey like you get to go in and the monkey's probably yeah i actually think he would shit himself but i shit myself to be honest i'm like don't take the fucking aerial

we need that we need the fucking aerial you um wait i don't know if we've taken Dottie but we've taken Colby round it and he fucking hated it to be fair Colby didn't really like anything growing up Colby and Joseph are literally cut from the same cloth they are so incredibly alike

they're both sensitive aren't they and it's like if it's not on his terms forget it no you know it was always on probably's terms yes it was never anything he doesn't want to do we've got loads of people um messaging us from america are you are you reading about chester zoo chester i've been to chester zoo that's a good we should do maybe we should do zoo tours maybe we should just tour all the zoos in all the world yes i don't know how i feel about like an australia zoo that's quite far away to go maybe all the zoos in the uk let's start small you start small start small and build up listen linda um you had a baby shower what the fuck we haven't even spoken we haven't seen each other since then

when i tell you me and emma generally don't talk we're generally not allowed and plus we don't talk so that we when we see each other we've got so much to talk about even though i talk shit loads on my instagram story it's good because emma actually gets really bored and she's fed up with watching and she's like fuck this i'll just wait till monday i'll see you i've actually got you hidden on my story so you got um oh yeah my my mum and my um sister threw me a surprise baby well i say me chris and the babies the surprise baby shower oh cute and you had no idea no i thought we were going for dinner well i knew we were going out but i thought we were going for a meal so i bought myself a dress because my sister said wear a nice dress so i was like i'll try my best and then turn up yeah and it was a

surprise baby shower how amazing so stunning we had games and all sorts i've never had a baby shower there's a video so my i was having i was having a very dilemma state and i tried very hard to stay as calm as i possibly could and let's just say I wasn't calm in the slightest so I said to my sister like I said I can't wear the tights with the dress because they're cutting off the circulation I'm really struggling to breathe so my sister god bless her heart text me and said why didn't you just show me so instead of me showing her what the dress looked like without the tights i sent her a five minutes 81 second video of me tanning my legs right i saw like the fallout from this but

i didn't see the build-up so i just went onto instagram one day and you basically tan any bum cheeks in a unit yes yes i was and that will forever be etched into your memory. That was basically me tanning myself. That my sister, a video that I sent to my sister that she never asked me for. She just wanted to see what the dress looked like with no tights on. But instead I sent her a 5 minute 31 second video of me tanning my inner cellulite pasty pale. No, let me stop you there you your skin looks amazing you've got no stretch marks no cellulite i have got cellulite fantastic you are just you're you you're being a friend you got a friend in me me.
