tell us what's going on so i can't i don't think i can say the words right okay in three come on two one i'm pregnant whoa you're having a baby honestly was not planned not planned in the slightest oh don't say that now it's on record for this child for the rest of their life it wasn't planned but beautiful beautiful surprise and you're happy oh my gosh it's so elated absolutely over the moon i can't believe it i can't i can't believe it no can chris believe it no you're gonna have three kids three babies i know yes and i feel like it's a family baby um the children are so excited are they like beyond oh my god for so many questions so hit me what did they what did the kids say

when you told them they were just dotty cried yeah um and i know there's going to be a lot of people that are going to ask if there is footage of this and there is but it's not something i'm going to please tell me you put it on the ring doorbell camera like everything else in your house no i actually caught it on camera camera did you yeah i did catch it on camera camera so they are it's something i'm not going to share with anybody it's very special to me but dotty cried and said it's possibly the best birthday present she could have ever had um colby's really really excited he's like cool excited he's like yeah and then like the other day he was like oh do you think i'll be able to like push the pram and i was like if you want to and he was just like yeah yeah okay i'll push the pram he's like low-key excited he's low-key

low-key excited and it's nice he and they they i'd say they're being specific on gender but colby's like oh i'd really love to have a brother but if it's a girl that's still really cool i still really love that does he want to get dottie just straight up have a brother. But if it's a girl, that's still really cool. I still really love that. Does Dottie want a girl? Dottie just straight up wants a baby in her room. She's already decided how she's going to divide the room. She knows where she wants to put the crib. She's going to get up for the night feed. Fine, fine.

You can have it. You're fully committed. Be my guest. She's fully committed to the cause. Does she want a boy or a girl? I think she'd ideally like a girl, but a bit like Colby, she's like, I just really want a baby.

Are you going to find out? Don't know. We're still very much on the fence it's a hard one isn't it you did find out with colby and dotty both with them yes yeah but dots is desperate to do a gender reveal party that would she wants to have a little gender reveal party but also because i've got one of each i really love the idea of the the midwife telling you and the baby i think for this one wouldn't it be nice to have a different experience and have a surprise so nice but you know me so well in the sense of you can't do it i'm not gonna be able to wait that long i had a surprise with joseph and i have to say it really was magical away was it and you know what's really fun is that like i think people speculating about the gender is like one of the funnest things about being pregnant and that happens throughout your pregnancy i thought though me and chris could find

out but nobody else like literally you won't be able to hold it in i would because it's just baby bean that's all dotty calls it and colby is just being we literally have baby bean i don't think you'd not be able to tell the children oh i think i would do you yeah because otherwise i wouldn't dotsy would just tell people was it hard to keep this a secret from them because did you did you keep it a secret for a bit yeah we kept it a secret until I because I had a lot of complications at the start obviously which is why when I was so poorly yeah generally did have sickness and diarrhea though but on top of that I was also very early pregnant with massively massively awful morning sickness and struggling so I want to come on to that so when

did you tell the children so we told the children when i had my scan at 10 weeks okay we told the children once we'd seen baby and everything was okay but i'd had a few scans previously and a few checkups yeah just because yeah everything is absolutely so when you were sick and you were documenting it on your instagram stories yes i was like after a little while i was like all right you said like it's not covid it's not this it's not that i was like she must be pregnant were you getting loads of dms saying you're not pregnant are you um to be honest i had a couple but i hadn't really read in anything because i was generally so poorly i wasn't reading

any of my messages so by the time i'd come back people had kind of the messages of me coming back and people being so kind to say i was glad to see you're doing better and my general day-to-day chat is kind of wash those messages out so i don't know if i could i'd maybe have to go back and look and see if there was have people commented saying like speculating that you're because it's hard it's really hard for you because you share so much on social media yeah like how could you possibly hide it i've struggled yeah everything's like waist up yeah and jumpers on tight frame dress dress and gown like even like my boobs are so much more bigger so like do my instagram stories my boobs are ginormous strap those puppies down strap those beathers down so it's been really hard i have really struggled and people like why are you

wearing a dressing gown when it's boiling hot because i've i've got a bump yeah i'm bumping out oh and we bumped i bumped out really early i bumped did you yeah seven weeks i mean seven i think third child yeah it's gonna show sooner than the others probably yeah seven weeks you had a bum i was bumping out so you're close well it's not really bumping is it's just like the bloat isn't it you know where you're just like you just feel like you put a bit of dinner yeah so are your clothes getting tight yeah yeah around my legs and my ass yeah i'm and i'm basically carby barby i'm getting all those carbs in so morning sickness you've had the whole time right right up until like today right right up till we're 12 weeks and what have you been doing is it just eating all the carbs yeah just get all the carbs in yeah

as many carbs in my face as physically possible probably going for a loaf of bread a day people say i didn't have any morning sickness with joseph but people say the only way to keep it at bay is to constantly be snacking yes little and often which i didn't realize because i haven't had morning sickness i had it with Dottie, but it went really quickly. And with Colby, I had nothing. So with this one, I kept eating a really big breakfast

and then being like, oh, I feel terrible. Then a really big lunch. So when I went to see the midwife, the midwife was just like, just little and often. Just snack, just have a little, even if it like the breakfast,

I've mastered my breakfast. I pretty much got all my cravings down to an absolute tea what are you craving all the fruit love fruit that's an amazing craving especially juicy juicy juicy fruit like mango like a real ripe juicy mango yeah but my absolute go-to is a either a cheese and onion that's my second choice mayonnaise sandwich or cheese cucumber and salad cream sandwich or on a salt and vinegar rice cake wow i actually love that combo i could eat it until the cows meal is there anything that you can't have yes gone off i can't i can literally smell everything and anything uh what i've gone off is I can't drink tea. Oh, that's sad.

Really sad. Yeah. So when I'm on my Instagram stories and people- Not making a tea anymore. Not making a tea. I'm having a coffee. Weird, weak decaf coffee. Yeah.

Things like bacon, can't eat meat. No, really? Beef mince. I'm okay with like a spag bolba steak no no thank you um really processed cheese like a cheese string cheese slices which i really love the cheese can't eat none of that no no oh my god so when you say it was not planned no can we how much can we go into that? How much do you want to know what happened? It's the engagement baby.

Itchy legs. Yeah. Engagement special. Of course it has to come from itchy legs. Yeah, we know how it works. It's basically the engagement. The engagement celebrations. Has led to us being.

Wow. With baby number three. Oh my God. So when you found out, were you just like, you totally weren't expecting it i found out the day chris got back from ibiza oh this is something isn't it which wasn't that colby's birthday that was no it was around about then it was around about the day before colby's birthday yes so chris come back from ibiza and i went surprise i've randomly i've randomly thrown up oh chris was like what so i thought i was just having a really late period because i didn't actually do a pregnancy test until chris got

back from ibiza because you didn't think you didn't question it at all no i just thought my period was like i had a really bloated tummy always constipated i mean these will stand like classics classic signs classic signs of being pregnant i just you know this is my classic life i had a period and i had a bump and i just thought what could be wrong and chris went oh no actually i'll say no tell a lie it wasn't it was the 29th of july so it was before chris went to ibiza we found out the 29th of july so now i was well early hadn't even missed my period oh but you knew oh because you said i've been sick and then what chris said so i randomly said to chris i threw up today and chris was like what and i was like i don't know what it was just threw up just ate my sandwich and was sick and chris was like it'd be funny if you're pregnant i was like

i don't i don't know am i meant to laugh i i don't know am i meant to find it funny and then chris was like just order a test it hadn't even the we hadn't even gone completely through the thing and it was a positive line yeah like a christmas tree i wasn't even missed my period so we did find out early wow and then i was yeah then i had a big belly at seven weeks wow yes oh my gosh it's so exciting so speaking of the engagement yes are you a wedding plans on hold are you still gonna no wedding plans are not on hold we are still gonna look but I think we're gonna have it like 2025 so I think I'm gonna give myself like a good May 2025 I think is my aim is to go may 2025 so baby first then baby first and then the baby's here for the wedding yeah and then we've just got lots of slow planning for the wedding

yeah chills yeah are you going to talk about your due date and stuff or do you not really is that something you want to keep to yourself not the specific date but the we i'm happy to talk about months okay so we are due in april 2024 a little aries baby a little aries baby yes exactly so no it's not the specific date but just the month is yeah yeah because it's a nightmare once you tell people your exact due date oh man you get so many questions you're waiting for everybody to say like what yeah what date is it the baby yeah yes baby here yeah have you gone quite because the baby's coming? Because also due dates are very random.

The way they're worked out, it's like not an exact science at all. It's very, it's not very specific, is it? It's not scientific. All they ask for is the date of your, the first date of your last period. Yep. And then I think they just count 40 weeks from there. Yeah. And to be fair, sometimes in your period, when you fall pregnant, it's delayed because it doesn't matter when you conceive.

Because you can conceive late or conceive early. Well, what's mad is that like they backdate it by a lot, right? So once you find out you're pregnant, you think, oh, maybe like three or four weeks or something. And then when you tell the doctor and you give them the day of your last mentioned period. They're like, oh my God, you're eight weeks pregnant god you're eight weeks pregnant you're like what sorry you're already two months pregnant you're like how is that even possible because i go back then i don't even have my one sex it makes no sense how can i be this is my third sex of eight years my relationship third to third itchy legs third time lucky third time's a charm

so yes so exciting emergency meeting i mean could there be better secret mom club news than a secret mom club pregnancy i don't know i feel like i feel like we shouldn't tempt fate i feel like we should touch wood because you just never know i thought the engagement was my big i know you've got a trunk can you imagine i'm coming out you would know there's not two twins anyone did you get that confirmed at the scan yes yes because that's always terrifying well because i bloated so quickly and showed so quick i was like maybe this and you're a twin i am a twin so you could have twins in the family but there's not dupes yeah that's always terrifying when they the first one of the first things they say when you go for a scan is it's like a single pregnancy you're like i didn't think of the fact that you might turn around and go you've got twins there's not dupes. Yeah, that's always terrifying. One of the first things they say when you go for a scan is, it's like a single pregnancy.

You're like, shit, I didn't even think of the fact that you might turn around and go, you've got twins. There's two in there. But it's just one. It's just one. Yeah. Yes. Just one little bubba in there.
