Hello and welcome.
Sorry, hang on.
Hello, and welcome.
Hello.
This is an absolute disaster.
That was Tommy rumbling me choking on.
There was residue of this cold that I've had for like, not that I mentioned it, but it's still got it.
Have you?
I still got like snot and phlegm.
Have you?
I thought ladies didn't get snot and phlegm.
This one does.
I've also taken to trumping
every time I sit down for a wee.
Oh, bleak.
I don't know why.
I think it's because I'm eating so much.
Daisy's laughing.
I think it's because I'm eating so much fibre at the moment,
having not eaten any for up my pregnancy.
But I tell you what's really bad.
It's like me and Alex, like boy Alex,
are in a stage of like kind of comatose,
tiredness with a new baby.
So it's like I'll go to the loo in the middle of the night for a wee.
And it's just like,
I can just hear him like changing her navi going ha ha ha ha
I'm just like
But he still doesn't do it in front of you
No he still he's still that goes down stairs
Yeah
Literally effectively shitting in the litter tray
Like oh my god
He goes to the other like he'll go to the bathroom that I'm not near
That's so time inefficient
I know
I know and it's like we'd be pausing real housewives
And he just like goes upstairs
And I'm like it would just do it down here
Oh my god if you add up all the time
he moves floors
No wonder his calves are so good
and we
but he goes up there to wee as well
Why?
I don't know
Maybe he's got something embarrassing
But then I see him naked
He looks fine
Remind me to never burp in front of him
I feel like he wouldn't like that
Yeah he is like just so
Clean
Yeah yeah okay
It's not great for me
Because I feel so slovenly
And just like
If childbirth isn't like
horrendous enough
And I'm just like
I've got hairs coming out of plate
Like everywhere
I'm just
You bleed for so long
Obviously like I look
different and to top it all off I'm fucking farting I was going to ask this could be too much
information for the podcast but I was thinking when we were we were talking to someone about periods
before I was thinking have you had one yet no is it until you stop breastfeeding it depends
so I think again generally the idea is is that breastfeeding is actually a contraceptive
that's the that's nature's ideal it is not as it turns out reliable no because I saw a girl the
day who's someone in her NCT class
is five weeks pregnant and she has
an eight week old baby
so I know
like I could never
and I had a fucking caesarian and I could
never. What did you have do you know
well I mean a baby? No like
cesarean or vaginal but I see I don't
a vaginal I think
fuck
I mean unbelievable like and
like I would take
no charge like right now in my life
no judgment but I would take no
chances. If I was having sex and quite frankly
who has the fucking energy?
You wrap it up. We are not doing this
again right now. Hang on.
Oh my God. Irish twins are babies
that are born within a year.
Yeah. And I would have to
be pregnant now to do that.
So that girl
will have
be sure. She'll have Irish twins. If I was pregnant
right this second, I would have another baby within the year.
And then I would
would have an Irish twin.
It's not going to happen.
She's not having one of those.
It's not the deal, huh?
I'm lucky sweetheart, no.
I am.
Yeah, this is my body right now.
Oh my God, we need to talk to a podcast.
I need.
Oh my God, I'd love that.
Imagine the horror of finding out.
I think it is really hard for some women.
I think some of them are really happy.
Some people try because they want it.
Yeah.
And I think for some people it's like, fuck.
Like, fuck.
Fuck.
Like, two under two is a thing that sounds awful.
I mean, two under one.
Oh, I couldn't remember.
You might as well have had twins.
I know.
Except you actually have to go through pregnancy twice, so it's worse.
And just being pregnant, like, the whole way through.
And there are different stages.
And I know it's different for me because I had a horrible pregnancy.
But I would just, like, lose all those, like, whole first year to be pregnant again.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I'm going to have to pick an age where she's a horror and then get pregnant again.
Yeah, they're like, terrible twos.
but yeah no I haven't had a period yet and like it depends my friend had one last
when she had a baby she breastfed she had one at 10 months so I actually I thought I was
having one the other day because I got cramped but I actually think it was like the final part
of my uterus shrinking so I've had no bleeding I've got no nothing so I'll keep you posted
do you know how long your breast food for no my plan was like I'll go as long as I can
so I thought maybe like
well I thought I wanted to get her to her first jabs
I don't know why that was just like a marker in my head
and you have those at six weeks
so obviously did that
now I'm thinking because I'm having no issues
I'm really lucky it's going really well
I'm going to keep going
I think as a general rule for myself
if they're old enough to ask for it
oh you're going to keep going
I'm not going to keep going to I mean not until she can ask
in like the Queen's English I mean like
until she can
like okay so I'm going to
going to go now until I wean her. So six months. Okay. And then I think maybe just keep
the night feed. Yeah. Like, and then I think I'll stop when she's like maybe nine months or a
year. But I have, I'm putting no expectation. Because there's nothing to say that I won't get
the stitis tomorrow and not be able to keep going. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly.
So I don't want to like have a real hard, like, I'm going to keep going until she's this. And
it's going to be like this beautiful chapter closing because it's so rarely like that. And I remember
with Ash, Ashley
like her little boy started
biting her, didn't he? She just had to end.
Yeah. Oh, I mean,
realistically, the day she gets teeth,
she's out of there. But I mean,
yeah, she was threatening teetting the other day.
She was dribbling and stuff. I was like,
it's too soon. You like this shit.
You're going to have to...
Does that mean, then? I mean, this is a stupid question,
but then does that mean that you will have to be
with her every single day? You'll not be able to
take a day away?
Right now? Until 12 months.
Well, I can pump, so I've been able, like, when I went to the theatre of the night,
like, I pumped, and then I just left her with Alex.
And, like, so what I'm kind of doing every now and then is just pumping,
leaving a bunch in the freezer.
Yeah.
It's so boring.
But you don't want to pump with too much regularity because then your body thinks you need that much milk all the time.
So if you pump at 9 a.m. every day, your body thinks you're feeding her at 9 a.m. every day,
so it's going to make more milk.
And then if you don't pump, your boobs are going to, like, explode.
So, the medical term.
So, yeah, like, I'm just collecting a little bit.
But I currently have no plans to leave her
But I also don't want to right now
Like I like the idea of, I really like the idea of going out for dinner
Like I really want to do that
If someone would have asked me out for dinner
That would be nice
Oh, do I want to go out for dinner?
I would love to go out of dinner so much
Yeah, that would be nice
Because I'm finding the evening's a bit tough
At the moment
Not for any reason other than the groundhog day
And that's no disrespect to my baby
I like I love having her
But she finds the evening's tough
And then, you know, you just don't really get much of an evening
yeah um do you get to watch tv sort of she has her witching hour between like six and eight so she's like
ah so it's like cool so we kind of eat dinner and but she doesn't sleep during that time she's like hi
she's like hi and she's great like it's so nice to play with her and stuff but it does mean you don't
get to like because i'm working switch off you know normally when you finish work you kind of get
like a couple of hours before bed we don't have those so like it would be quite nice to be
able to, like, leave some milk in the fridge for Alex
and then just, like, go out.
Nice, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. But I'm going for, like, I'm going for a wedding at the end of July that I'm not
going to take her to. Okay. So I'm, like, preparing myself for that to, like, pump and
and then leave with my mom or something. Have a nice mom yet, but...
It should be fine.
Better be.
So, yeah, I don't know. It's a journey. But, yeah, right now I can't leave her because
she's, you know, boss with her. But also, I'm a mom, so I feel like I should really be
leaving her anyway. That's true. You've got a point, I guess.
I keep being like, where would I get? Where would I go? Like, where would I go?
Yeah, that is true. Like, she can come with it. She's with us today in the studio.
She is with us today. Yeah.
Cut my sister's looking after in the room next door. Soundproof room next door.
I don't know who that's better for, Katia or Rale. Who's crying louder.
So, yeah. Nice. Yeah.
So no period. Yeah, let us know when it comes. Thanks.
I will be waiting on bait. Waiting on bait. I'm so intrigued.
Okay. I've got something really funny to read out to you.
I'm excited.
The subject line is that time I met
Em and Alex.
Oh, no.
No.
I know.
And Amy, who does,
the Instagram,
has sent this to me
with the context of this is funny
because you guys told this story
in real time.
So now we've got it
from the other perspective.
Oh, no, which one?
Exactly.
Hi, SIDT podcast team.
I hope you're all doing well.
Congrats on the huge success
at the podcast and welcome to the gang,
Baby Alo.
I thought I'd write in to tell you a little story
about the time I met.
Em and Alex in pertinent, in person, in pertinent.
I haven't quite determined if this was more awkward for me or men,
but the listeners can decide if you ever share this story.
In March last year, I had a planned dinner date with my best friend,
a lovely restaurant called Mallow in London,
and on the way there, we were chatting about should I delete that podcast.
It was still quite new and how great it was.
When we arrived, we were greeted by a waitress who took us upstairs
through the busy restaurant to our table and a lot of side room.
On the way there, I spotted two very familiar faces out of the corner of my eye.
and Alex were sat a couple of meters away from us
having dinner with a friend. I did a double tape
before grabbed my friend's arm and whispered M. Clarkson
and Alex liked literally sat at the table right there.
We sat down and I immediately
thought about whether it was
appropriate to
go up to them, to tell them how much we loved
them and their podcast, but I really didn't want to get in
the way of their dinner or look like a creepy stalker.
So I decided the best thing to do was ask the
waitress if she could bring some glasses of Proseco
over to their table with a little message from
us, nice and simple.
Oh. I know.
just after we'd ordered the Prosecco,
the waitress rushed back and said,
I think they're leaving, actually.
I didn't want to miss my chance,
so I plucked up the courage to go over to them,
and my friend joined a few steps behind me.
I walked up to the table,
Emma and Alex had their backs to us,
and just started with a, hey, guys,
Emma immediately turned round
and started rushing to gather her things saying,
yeah, yeah, we're leaving now, so sorry,
clearly thinking I was a waitress coming over to kick them out.
Alex joined in apologising for taking so long,
before I managed to say, oh, no, no, I don't work it.
We just came over to tell you how much we love the podcast.
I think we were all quite embarrassed at this point.
But they were so lovely to us.
We had a little exchange via DMs about how funny the situation was.
Turns out they'd been asked to leave a couple of times already.
There's a restaurant needed their table packs so we looked like we'd come to tell them off.
I just wanted to share this funny story.
It was so great meeting M and Alex that night.
And I've been listening to every single episode from day one.
My friend, the same one who was at the restaurant that night.
And I have tickets to the live show.
and we can't wait to see you all there
thanks for all the hard work you put into the show
and all the amazing stories you tell
I'm so excited to meet you
I'm so excited that we get to make up for last time
yes yes yes we're going
I remember telling the story it was our awkward
because it was awkward
but we've been asked to leave the restaurant twice
we were like oh my God we're fucking going
we've not been that bad we've paid
like we didn't dribble
and we weren't offensive
oh my god I forgot about that
They were so nice.
I can't believe they were sending over for...
I know.
I know.
That is so nice.
I would have loved that.
I mean, yeah.
That's confident, though, because I would never be sure that someone was who I thought it was, you know?
If I have, you know, someone online, I would never be sure.
I don't trust myself enough, I don't think.
Would you not?
I mean, it depends.
Yeah, probably.
Probably.
Probably.
Although sometimes I do that and I'm like, oh my God, it's...
And then you look and you're like, no, it's not.
I do that with people that I think is Bill Nyee all the time.
I'm probably not Bill Nye
I had a thought about Bill Nye the other day
I've only ever known him as an older man
Do you think he just tried to be an actor for like 50 years?
Do you know what? I thought that the other day
because I was thinking about a film that makes me like...
About time?
Yeah.
I know. It's the only film that makes Alex cry.
It's too much. I don't, I actually don't like it, but it's just too much
for me, emotionally to deal with.
Did you see he's going out with Anna Winter?
Yes, I did.
No, he's not.
Yes, that's what reminded me.
He's going out with Anna Winter and they, apparently, they were friends for years
and now they're going out with each other.
No, they are not.
So, yeah, this is why Bill Nye came into my psyche because I thought he was dating Anna Winter.
I was like, cool.
And then I said, I've never seen him as a young man.
But maybe, I think he did theatre.
But imagine only making it.
It gives hope to every struggling artist out there that Bill Nyee made it
probably in his 40s or 50s and now he's shagging Anna Wintor.
If he can still.
you know
now he's shagging
on the winter
as a name of this episode
please
I kind of fancy him
in a perverse sort of way
so do why kind of
yeah
it's just sort of like
no I don't think I fancy him
I think I see him as like
a fatherly figure
you know
he's got breeze
yeah there's something
there's something
like
I don't know
because if I look at any
part of his body
you're not attracted
I can't think of one thing that's like
God that part of him so sexy
I can't think like his sort of funny hair
or like it's not
you know I don't
Yeah no yeah
But then as a whole package
You're feeling it
It's so yes
It's a little soft and solid
You know
How old is he?
Is he?
Oh god I'd break
I'd kill him
He's quite spinning
as well. How old is Anna Wintour?
How old is she?
73. She is an age...
It's the same as, like, North Kardashian
has been nine for as long as I've been aware of
North Kardashian. Anna Wintel has the same energy. It's just
completely ageless. Yeah.
And she's... Yeah. But I think North West is
still nine. But I feel like she's always... I feel like she was born nine.
I feel like... I didn't even know she'd reach nine. I thought she was like five.
She's nine. She's nine. I mean, bless her.
you know it makes me sad because I see their
TikTok videos all the time hers and Kim's
and they've had to turn the comments off
have they? Yeah they've been off for a really long time
have they I'm saying what are people saying
probably everyone commenting that they're in their floppy area
actually it'll be people
commenting worse than that
it'll be worse than that and it'll be about her about North West
so they'll have to have yeah gross
it's actually a mad life isn't it? Yes such a
mad life she's like super TikTok famous
and she's nine
nine yeah your brain isn't
developed and mine still isn't
you've got 20 years
Oh, my God
Your brain isn't developed
Until you're like
A sweat
Oh okay
What were you going to say
Like 50
Maybe
I mean one could argue
That your brain is always developing
When does your brain
Fully
Get fully developed
Katty you said 34
No 24
24 24 24
Oh okay
Right
That's the smartest
You're going to get Kat
Okay
She's really smart
Oh my god
So I'm
Toast
Well past it
I'm decaying
Great
You have piqued.
Okay, all right.
Chill out.
Okay, I have an awkward...
Oh, okay.
I like this.
This one was written in
with multiple awkward and embarrassing stories
from the last week alone.
This is our kind of vibes, right?
Hi guys, love the podcast.
Mercury is in retrograde
and is doing me dirty.
It certainly is.
Number one,
had to take my car to the garage
and was given a courtesy car.
I got into the car,
but the key in the ignition,
turned it and nothing happened.
couldn't work out how to turn it on, had to suffer the sheer embarrassment of going back
into the garage to ask someone to show me how to turn the car on.
Number two, I had...
What was wrong with her? I need to know.
She just couldn't turn it on.
I think she just couldn't turn it on. I found car to see cars embarrassing in general.
Do you?
The pressure, the pressure of driving a car that isn't your own.
And then when you give it back, like, no snacks, no residue.
You can't, no, grease up things on the steering wheel.
And I'd get awkward about, like, how to put the seat back to, to, like, well,
when I found it.
Oh, God.
As if I'd stolen it.
I don't want anyone to know that I had this.
I want no evidence of myself.
You know, I don't know you obviously
haven't put the seat back.
You just fill up the tank
and make sure it's not like,
you haven't crashed it.
No, that's a rental car.
Oh, what's a courtesy car?
It's one that literally the garage
gives you, like, when they've got your car.
Oh.
Very different.
Rental car you pay for, so it's a fair exchange.
If you fuck up, you paid for it.
Courtesy car?
It's...
Oh, yeah, I ship myself.
Yeah.
No, I ship myself.
It's a goodwill gesture.
Courtesy.
It's a courtesy.
Don't do me a courtesy with something so expensive.
I just say, no, thank you.
I won't even take a biscuit from someone that I don't know.
I'm not going to take a fucking car.
Too much.
Keep it, keep it.
I will deal with the inconvenience.
Okay, number two, I had a virus and to be on the safe side,
decided to do a COVID test while I was pushing the swab through my nose
to the back of my throat.
Hang on, through the nose to the back of her throat.
That's not.
I don't work because it's it.
It doesn't go, you don't go through your nose
and into the back of your throat.
Not if you want any, like, to survive.
Oh my God, okay.
While I was pushing the swab through my nose
to the back of my throat,
I lost my grasp on it,
and the swab got stuck in my nasal cavity,
and I couldn't get it out.
Right, well, oh.
It's too far.
It's too far.
At one point, I thought I was going to have to go to A&E to get it removed.
Luckily, I was able to get hold of it with a pair of twasers.
Oh my God, that's not how it's supposed to go.
That's not how it's supposed to go.
I don't think she's doing it, right?
That's not how it's supposed to go.
Also, I know the nose and throat are connected,
but I don't think you can just put something.
Actually, you can.
You totally can, because I've had things come up the other way around.
Like, I've had a pee go down my throat and out my nose.
It makes me thinking Harry Potter the first one where the one goes up the troll's nose.
Not that she's a troll, but that's the mental limit.
Okay, I know it's connected, but you're definitely not supposed to put a swab.
No, you could do throat first then nose.
Yeah, I'm supposed to loop it.
It's not supposed to go in your nose, come out your mouth.
All right, Dr. Light.
I'm just distressed.
I'm disturbed.
Number three, managed to accidentally crush a bottle of milk in my backpack.
All the rest of my shopping was swimming in milk.
Gross, because you could never get milk smell out.
No, it's always going to smell a little bit sour.
Number four, looked absolutely everywhere from my phone,
through all of my bags and my coats, even went back down to the car,
ended up using find my phone on another device, only to do.
discover it was in my back pocket.
Hope there gives everyone a bit of a laugh
with 11 more days of Mercury in retrograde.
Hopefully
there won't be any more disasters.
So by the time this airs,
Mercury will be out, but have you
noticed anything going
particularly haphazardly
recently?
No, I don't think so.
Have you not? Have you been good to? Is it been kind to you?
Yeah, I think so. Oh, touch one of myself.
Yeah, I don't think it's been very kind to me.
Really? No, I've just felt like everything's gone wrong
but I've kind of reached this really weird state of chill in my life
where everything goes terribly.
Yeah.
And it's just kind of fine.
Okay.
I mean, it isn't objectively, but nothing really bothers me anymore.
I feel like you've always kind of been like that.
Do you think?
Yeah.
I think what's happened.
I think I always used to be like,
oh yeah, nothing bothers me, but on the inside it really bothered me.
Right.
But now I've, like, faked it until I made it.
That's very much.
I faked it until I made it.
Because now it's like, oh yeah, I actually really don't care.
Or maybe I just started really caring when I was pregnant.
But what we're talking about things going wrong?
Like, what scale?
Like, give me an idea.
Because like some things you probably do need to worry about and like stress about.
Tumble dry is broken.
Oh yeah. Okay.
washing machine's broken.
Hoover's broken.
Okay.
So those are three quite expensive appliances.
Where are your appliance?
The alliance is breaking.
Mercury.
It's mercury.
I don't know what else it could be.
It could be a plethora of things.
Probably mercury, though.
Probably mercury.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's an accumulative cost of like a lot.
That is a lot, to be fair.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
And I'm really trying to weigh up.
I keep saying to it, I'm really trying to weigh up what's most important.
Washing machine, hands down.
They're all working.
Okay.
Just varying levels of success.
okay so I agree I think the washing machine's the most important but the tumble dryer is the biggest fire hazard whilst it's not working
so need to go out your house yes can't you have someone around who will fix all three
I think they're just kind of person exists I'm sure they do I feel like those aren't an accurate summation of the things that have gone wrong but lots of things have gone wrong but I just but maybe it's just having a baby where things just do
like oh you're running late and then it's like oh yeah she's shit everywhere and it's just like oh cool like yesterday you did six shit and it's like every
which I got everything ready to go
and then it's just like
and there's another one. Another one.
Yeah, that's like, okay. That is, that's
a lot, isn't it? But you just sort of
because it's so annoying and especially to get it on
the clothes as well. Yeah. There's nothing you can
do. Yeah, but I mean
I've heard Ramos that you could just put a cork up there
and just leave up at the day.
What's that thing that you take that makes you constipated
stops diarrhea and makes you constipated?
Emodium. I'm not
I'm not going to do that, Dr. Light.
But thank you for the suggestion.
That's my prescription.
Corker
No, yeah
She's not that you can do
No, no, you just buckle up
I can't believe they haven't come up with nappies
That are more
That actually hold all the poo
I know
Well, pamper's claimed to
They say it's pin army proof
Come meet my kid
We'll show you
I told you didn't I was looking after my niece
And she did a poo
But like the poo didn't touch her nappy
But it went
It was all over the top of her back
Amazing
But, okay, I was like, I can kind of, I can get on board with that.
Like, maybe somehow it came off the top of the nappy.
But the nappy was pristine.
Were you holding her upside down?
She was just, holding it by her ankles.
Weirdest thing.
I was like, how do you shit up your back?
It is amazing.
She's shitting her socks in the day.
I literally, I had my brother following me around with a little cloth just doing the floor.
Someone's got to invent something, surely.
Something better than this.
Surely.
But this is what I mean.
It just sort of is what it is.
Everything just is what it is now.
Maybe it's just I haven't really got the energy.
I do think I'd cry more if I had more energy.
Do you?
I just don't really have any.
So I'm like, okay.
Okay.
Well, there you go, silver lining.
Yeah, no, I'm just like, okay.
Like, yeah, three morning.
I was like, oh, Christ.
Like, I'd literally slept for like 15 minutes.
I was like, oh.
And then I was like, I was like, I was going to sit here and cry.
And I was like, I need to save the liquid for the milk.
So I'm just going to go out for a walk.
Then I was fine, obviously.
I have a silly little latte.
and it smells alright
You do love you
You walk silly little walks
You're silly little lolladays
I'm walking so far
Walking on
I'm averaging
A hundred thousand steps a week
At least
I don't really
I don't really have any grasp
On the
It's a bunch
But it sounds like a lot
It's like seven or eight miles a day
Oh god
Why?
Today's bringing the average down
Why?
You just like walking
Truthfully
It's a bit of a weird one
When you have a baby
Because
I don't want to be in the house
All day every day
Yeah
I didn't do
NCT classes.
Yeah.
So I don't really have
like loads of baby friends.
I'm also in quite a weird position
where I'm working.
Yeah.
So where other moms are like
going out for lunch and stuff together
or like baby groups or baby classes.
I can't really do those
because I'm back at work.
So I haven't really got the time to do
because you can't just go to one off.
Like you have to book like the term.
So it's like I looked at like baby sensory
and stuff and it's like we've got to book
every Wednesday at 11.
I can't do that.
Like today's a Wednesday and we're recording.
So it's like can't do that.
So I haven't really got the like
plans out of the house and like
there's not that many people to play with every day. I'm like
I want to do stuff every day because I don't like being at home.
Yeah. But then I've got to work.
I've got to get the balance right.
So figuring it out. Yeah. And it's just like I can't go and work remotely in a
cafe because I've got a baby. So it's like if I'm going to work, I need to do it at
home so I can have her in the bouncer or have her down for a nap or whatever.
So then it's like just kind of the only time I get out of the house and it's just
really important to me. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense.
So you should join a class though. And we just, we won't do the podcast on those.
days and just don't do your own. But it's just, you know, like in general, I think we need a bit
more flexibility just with our jobs, like, if I've got to shoot something or if something comes
in or, you know what I mean? So, yeah, like, I could find classes. And I have my Pilates. I do
that on Wednesday afternoon, which I am missing today, but that was, that's my bad. But that's
just one week. But otherwise, like, that's really important. And like, and I just make a plan
night before. But I think that's why walking's so good. It's something that I can do with
Arlo, she sleeps. Yeah. I can talk to my friends. I love it. I love it. Yeah.
It's really good for mental health. And I can, I can work, like, lucky with our job. Like, like, I edit my
ads out on walks and stuff now.
Do you?
Yeah.
Just because it's like,
do I just don't look up much.
I'm just like on my phone.
Oh my God.
I die in like three seconds.
I'd be well,
alright.
And I've got like Ollo in the carrier.
So it's like I've got my hands.
I've got my hands.
Yeah.
So good that you could just have her in the carrier
not a pram.
Yeah.
Oh, do you have to take a pram out with you.
That's so good.
Yeah.
Love it.
Because I was thinking,
oh my God, it looks like,
Oh, it's just sort of looks so lumbusome.
Yeah.
No, yeah, it is.
I bought the pram.
I bought the pram into London today
and it's just bullshit
because people push you into the road
like central Londoners do not give a
flying fuck for you or your baby
Did anyone help you on the tube?
I didn't get the tube
Oh you drove you drove you drove yeah
because I was just like I can't do rush hour with the pram
but the carrier no drama
Like I'm just like a koala
Nice kangaroo
Coala yeah and is it heavy
Obviously I mean yeah it's the weight of her
So she's getting progressively heavier
And they say that having a baby
Or like raising a baby is like the best form
of like progressive weight lifting
don't they? Yeah, because she's getting heavier and heavier.
Like my sister, she's the most puny little thing in the entire world.
She's not had a muscle to my name, honestly.
And suddenly, she's like, Popeye.
I looked about yesterday. I was like, oh my God, I got my triceps back.
And it's literally just from like,
Yeah, you will do.
Yeah, you will do.
Yeah. But yeah, that sounds really deep about like the mental health thing.
But I think it's actually important because I do think on Instagram I'm kind of showing
that it's great. And it is really great, but we are having to put things in place
for like the evenings that can be tough and like for the days.
Like in the morning, if I wake up
And I've got the whole day stretching ahead of me
Well, like, I've got work to do
But it's all in the house
It can be a bit like
And you just don't like being in the house
No
You never have.
I love my house
But also, bear in mind
My neighbours are literally
knocking theirs down right now
And Alex is working from home
A lot of the days
Yeah
And if I don't get out
And it's just like
It's a lot
Yeah, there's no
Like, there's nothing to break up the day
It's like from 8 a.m.
Until 6, 5am
realistically, until like 9pm
It's just
Yeah, that sounds like a lot
a solid line.
So I have to break it up.
But that sounds like a bad thing.
It's not a bad thing.
No, it's not.
But it is important to break it up.
But I do think you should look into like baby classes.
Well, selfishly, selfishly,
I've found a PT who I can take Arlo to the gym with me.
Amazing.
That would be really good.
At this age, I feel like sensory-wise,
she doesn't know if she's looking at the ceiling of a town hall or a gym or a baby sensory.
Like when she's older and it's good for her developmental stuff.
We'll go and do that.
But right now, she doesn't know which way is Friday.
I feel like people do it.
It's just a reason to, like, meet other months, right?
Rather than...
Yeah.
So I think, like, two birds of one stone.
Like, I can get her out the house.
I can go and do a PT session.
I found some that I can take a baby to.
So that feels, like, quite good.
You should so hang out with Catherine as well.
I know.
We're going to, but I thought you might be angry with me.
Oh, my God, when?
See?
I am angry.
I suggested it.
And now, a second later, I'm fuming.
Go on.
You should hang out with my sister.
It'd be really good for your mental health.
but not without me you fucking bitch
How rude
Would you like to come?
Yes please
Okay perfect
We're going to go for a walk
Would you still like to go?
No
No no no
Change it to lunch
And I'm there

Yeah I'll do lunch
Okay fine
We'll go out for lunch
Okay perfect
