Hey, tiny's, as Mother's Day is just around the corner, we wanted to give you an extra little treat this week. To celebrate Sophie's very first Mother's Day, we thought it would be really special to revisit some of the best moments from her journey to becoming a mom. From the announcement to all the chats and milestones along the way, we've put together some of our favourite memories. Enjoyed the episode. Love you guys.

We have some news. We have some news. We have news. I'm pregnant. I just have. It's honestly the funniest thing in the world. There's someone he doesn't like celebrating their birthday or anything. I like, honestly, Jamie's like, have he called so and so and told them? And I'm like, no, because I feel like embarrassed to do that.

Why? Obviously not like you guys, but like, I don't know. Guys, the way she told me was the funniest thing. The funniest. And the way you told Ruby was also quite funny. I know. It's just too awkward. It's because you can't bear to just do it.

So you have to like slide it into something else. So we're an else. having some, I think we go in for like a little chat and a coffee and like we weren't planning on getting anything. No, we were, we were planning. I was meant to have an appointment and you came to my appointment. Oh, I just came because I just like to chat and see her and have a coffee and I was going to actually cancel the appointment. But I'd already told Elle and I don't know why I just thought. Elle is also a postnatal nurse. She's a maternity nurse.

So she knows what's up. Yes, I'd already talk about Elle Heart Medical by the way. She knows what's up. So I then join and we then, Elle then goes and locks the door. She goes, right, right. And I was like, what's going on? This is like really weird. She kept being like, you sit there, Sophie.

And I was like. Yeah, it was like really strange. Then Sophie goes, right, so I'm not going to get any more polynuclear whatever, the skin booster was under her eyes. And I was like, yeah, I was about to be like, yeah, you know what? I think we just give it a break for a week. I think you're overdoing it at the skin boosters. And she goes, because I'm pregnant.

And I was like, not expecting it at all. And my eyes just like filled with tears. And see, and I was like, it really took me by surprise. Did it really? Because in the delivery and there was no warning, like, I don't know. It was so unexpected. It was really unexpected. By the way, I was literally like two weeks pregnant at this point.

I know. It was like fresh off the test. I know. No way to be able to tell. To be honest, you can't really tell now. You can. Not right in this angle, I swear to God. You must.

But then sometimes on the head. You can tell. You could really tell. You can tell, but it's like cover up a wall, but I will say, like, I can't wear any clothes at the moment, so I've just had to do a whole new order because, like, these are like a size 40 gene or something. And they are so baggy on the leg. Like my bar. Can't you get, like, a maternity gene that's stretchy.

No, they all have, like, stretchy, like, waistbands. And then it's so obvious. I don't fucking want to wear a stretchy blue waistband, thank you very much. Like, we need to normalise making, like, cool high-waste is stuff that's, like, wider, and then like not so wide on the legs. Because I'm struggling. There must be cool maternity shops out there. No, but I went on to revolve and I typed in maternity

and they've got loads of low-rise like skirts. And because it's somewhere I'm like... Perfect. You're lucky that it's going to be somewhere like floated dresses. Oh, that's true towards the end of it. It's going to be chill soon. Well, then I'll just be like in trackies and not give a fuck. But this period, I'm like, it's cold in England.

Like what have... I want to walk around in a skirt. I bought one yesterday, but no, no, no. We can't. We can't. Also, the baby might be born on my birthday. I know. I'm June and December, guys.

But the due date changes are due to, like, each scan you have. So, like, once you reach the 12-week mark, you then get, like, a very analysed due date. Okay. Because, like, size and, like, X, Y, Z. Okay. But it's, like, funny because they obviously, like, don't know what day. Like, even if you ovulated on X day, like, the sperm could have taken. I don't know how it works.

Oh, my God. It's so. interesting. It's also like such a weird thing that I'm like, I'll have felt like a small person inside your body. I know I literally just went for a scan now, but this is like, how many fucking scans? Every day, I'm just going for a scan. I'm like, it's like a part of her morning routine now, just going for a scan. My sister was like, so, are you doing one a week? I was like, yeah? I don't think you need to be doing that. I think I'm going to slow off now. I just really, I got into a habit. Definitely until I got to the 12 week mark. I got it. Scan, scan, scan.

And then I already have this book in because the guy, obstetrician I'm seeing goes on holiday. And I just really love him. So he was like, do you want to see before I go? And I was like, okay. Why not? And then he's like, I can't really get like a clear picture of the baby because the babies does backflips every time we scan me. It's literally like, don't, boom, don't, don't, don't.

So like, every photo I'm sending to people, they're like, hmm. Can't really see it. Because he's like, it won't stop moving. You sent me those photos and you were like circling things, like trying to figure out what the sex was. And she was like, what do we think this is? And like all these green circles of you trying to like diagnose what you I know because Emily Blackwell sent me this thing

where you can like see whether uteruses or like where they wee or something and if it's like pointing a certain way it's a boy and if it's got it's another way it's a girl that would make sense anyway I'm not going to say what the sex is but it was right yeah your intuition was right I was completely off

you were off but I knew you're off I know it in my gap I was like I honestly thought I was absolutely correct and there's no way I could have been wrong god damn it Oh, God, it's really exciting. But also, quite funny to you because I'm not going to be pregnant at your wedding. No, but I'll have a little page boy or a flower girl at my wedding, like mincing down.

Oh, my God, stop. How cute is that? Oh, my God, you really well. I know. Okay, we need that to happen soon. So I can get my teeth stuck into something. Mind you, how, when does a child start walking when they're like, what, one? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah. One. That would be cute. That's really good timing. I think when they can just about walk and everyone's like, oh. Because my theory is like there might be an announcement around my birth. That's when I'm picturing.

That's where my brain, my interest is saying. Really? No way. Yeah. No way. I'm, I'm, maybe six months after that. Five, well, then that's perfect because then you'll do a year planning. Yeah, exactly.

So then we've gone. Then we've gone. God, we've honestly, like, not me making your pregnancy about my wedding. Oh. I don't have anything to complain about other than the fact my boobs are enormous. Melissa told me to say that, I feel weird saying that. I'm not. She walked in and I was like, oh my God, whaps are lapping.

Yeah, they're really, they're like heavy. It's a lot. You know what's really bad is I need to get new bras because I, they hurt. Once I eat, it's like, this is on one, you know, like one buckle at the back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is like a loose bra. This is like, it used to gait on me. I need to now size up because.

Guys, they're so big. Like, they're so big. They're like others. It's not cute. I promise you, it's not cute. I think it's cute. I think it looks amazing. I'll tell you why it's not cute because then like you've got this bump and like they're just really big.

I promise you they're just like it's like quite shocking to see it. So I feel like, whoa. And they're like they look like they just like they don't look like porn star boost like we tell you. They look more like mum's boobs. Well, they're fill of milk. How old is that? I know. Well, not now.

Is it? Yeah, that's where they grow. What else is in there? Just the hormones making them just grow. So does it just make more fat in that specific area until it's ready to replace with milk? Yeah, my doctor was like the reason like most women are so hungry is also because of you're growing human. But it is because the boobs need to grow. It's literally the breast tissue is like, it's like if you were training your bum all the time, your bum would want more food because it's like growing.

Your boobs are like, give me more energy. Give me more food. I'm like, wow, just eating for the boobs at this point. The burger is for this boom and that burger is for that. It's like, wild. What are the food cravings this week? The food cravings are like a constantly-the-meat situation, but also like vinegar, vinegar, vinegar.

Like, I want so much salt. Like, just sour. Like, I'm loving a garkin. Like, I always love sour food, like garkins and pickles stuff. But, like, sauerkraut, it's like crap to me. Like, I don't want sweet. Fine. No, icked out by it.

A lollipop, yeah, but, like, I just remember had it. I was a bit like, regret. Yogurt. I'm like, ugh. Fruit. Yes, please. Really quite crisps give me like a crisp and a dip. Lovely.

Down. Can I just say that's just like normal human grovings in general? I know. This is what Emily said to me. She's like to me every day then. Yeah. But I'm like, what other cravings do people get?

Do they get really weird ones? I sometimes when I'm like really thirsty, all I crave it's like mango. I just crave mango. I really crave mango. And like water refreshing fruit. I'm very, very, I've really gone. Salt, salt.

Yeah. Salt. Just so. So, also. So I would love to just eat a block of cheese. I do that sometimes before I eat my dinner. Just slice off the aisle. So I went for a really lovely lunch with my friend's barbecue on Saturday

and like come six o'clock I was like there. Like I don't know what happened to me. I was like, cheer like we need to go. Like I don't. And like I can see. And also everyone's like then drinking vibes. And I'm like, well, where's the food at? So I've gone and got the sourdough and I've got a plate of olive all.

And I'm just supping up. And the girls were like, oh my God. This is just like a meme of a pregnant past. So just like eating half a loaf of salad day while we're all enjoying a raise. I was like, oh, I'm that girl now. But it was really delicious. Oh my God, stunning.

Someday the bump's so heavy. And then the other days you feel so light and you're just like, oh my God. I like honestly forget it. And you feel so great and so normal. And then you really have to remember like, the other day I ran home from. I like suddenly realized I was late

and I started running and I was like, The minute I started jogging, I was like, that just, obviously people run when they're pregnant with it. I just, I suddenly realized. I was like, what? I just felt like movement. I was like, jumping something. And I just suddenly, I was like, I literally just completely forgot for that moment in time. Oh my God.

No, but I do always have complete nightmares that I'm at parties and I'm downing vodka. Shut. It's honestly throughout my whole pregnancy, I've had it. It's like nonstop. Shut up. Yeah, downing it. I'm, the one of them was at Candy Kittens and you gave me a drink and you were like, I think this one's

mock down. And I'm not me. And I drink it and I'm like, oh no, it's vodka and I'm like, taste nice. And I drink it and then you go, you're pregnant and I go, no, no, don't. It's so scary. And I wake up and I have to go, it wasn't real, it wasn't real, it wasn't real. And then I knew about that.

I do, but I need to tell you about this dream guys. I told Melissa, so I have very vivid bizarre dreams since being pregnant. My latest one was that I was basically cheating. on Jamie with the random girl. I don't know who she was. I will say she looked quite like Tate McCray. Nothing like a lesbian dream. She was like Tate McCray in my dream.

And you're pregnant. But you were also pregnant in your dream? No, not pregnant. She's found this whole new sexual self being pregnant in her dream. Maybe this is like my new craving. Yeah. So then there was like a Damon lookalite from Vampire's

Jamie and Jamie was my husband in the dream. Okay. And then this girl and I was getting with them all on the same night and you, Melissa, was. Lucy goosey floating around me like a fairy. Jamie caught on or something was like, where do you keep going? And I was like, Melissa, I keep getting with these people.

And you were like, oh, look at the lights. And I was like, Melissa, what am I going to do? So I'm helpful for me, sorry. My husband's going to break up me. And you just turn around and you went, oh, you're fuck, they're all going to break up with you. They're darn, boys don't like, they don't like that sort of shit. And then you just wandered off into the distance.

And in the dream, I was like, he's catching on, but I can't stop myself from kissing his girl. It was really quite something actually. It was weird because when I woke up, I wasn't like, was getting on the girl last night in my dream. I'm not sure what that means, who knows? But we're just had a lesbian dream before. Actually, like, quite a few times.

Never like that, like, weird. But like, I also have it when I'm like half awake. And I'm like, there's a girl in my bed. Why is there a girl on my head? Why if I'm spooning a girl and I'm like, it's fine? And it's like, I really freak myself out. And I'm like...

I think we should really explore that. And I think it's because from when I'm like, showering a bed with a girl. Oh yeah. And I'm like, oh no, it's not Toby. I can't like spoon that. Oh no, it is true. And it's like this weird thing.

And sometimes when I'm drinking, I then get a bit confused and delirious over who's in the bed. I don't exactly what you mean. It's also from being on the hen with Bella, I think, recently, where I've obviously been like, no, don't spoon her. That's weird.

Like, that's not your boyfriend. It's fucking Bella in the bed, wake up. Completely psychotic. I'm driving this car. Not new, but this was like took it to a whole new level. So I'm driving this car and sweet, sweet Jamie, who was like, honestly couldn't be better since I've been pregnant. In general, like, you know he's just amazing. But like really and truly he has like couldn't ask for a better husband or partner since being pregnant.

He's so caring. He puts up so much and all these different things. And we're driving in this car and he just tries to get involved. He goes, should you just hear how loud the speakers go? And within a second, he has rammed the speakers up and they're. both speakers and they're fucking loud. It blew my eardrums and I was like, what?

So then I... You don't like the rage. I was like, what have you done? And he was like, oh my God, it was like the red sea came over me. Like, he was like, I've never seen you like that ever. And I have seen you angry. I have seen you pissed off.

I have seen you be a bitch. But like, that was like, red rage came into... Red mist, red mist, red mist came into your eyes. And apparently, I don't remember we were in Richmond. I don't remember. the whole journey till we got home. Apparently just shouted at him the whole time and I was like, what should happen? And he was like, that was like primal instinct. Like you were just like,

what have you done? Because he did it and I felt the baby kick and I was just in my head. I was like, you've just, you frightened me let alone the baby. Obviously it's fine. Like they're not. Oh my God. It's like not, you know, people DJ, people go to concert. Like it's fine. Yeah, yeah. But it's probably the shock. It just shot the core out of me and the red red red. I wish I could see the red mist. I'm scared of it. Like I don't want that to ever come back. I can't. I can't. remember any of it. Got wait until you have the kid and the kid pisses you off and the rubmiss will be back. Or like if Jamie like holds the baby wrong and then I'm like with a red miss for hip,

you really, I really have to learn to not do that. Yeah. Try and try and try yourself. Your hormones will be different then too. This is what I hope. Your hormones are just going crazy right now. The hormones are hormoning. I'm so excited.

I know you're not ready after what I am so excited for you to go through this because now I understand it. My react, like I hope you don't forget it because loads of people like have the baby and They go, I can't remember. And I'm like, oh. No, I'm going to make sure I tied my second with your first. Okay. I've already decided my brain.

So we ask the tini's for some advice on Sophie's baby shower. And we've got two listeners. Hey, girls, a regular tiny here who listens to Wednesdays every week. I have two little boys and they are my world. My advice to Sophie is, don't forget about you. Every new mum needs some time to themselves and some treats. Make sure Jamie waits on you hand and foot. He needs to bring you water, snacks, change baby snafies,

basically whatever you need. My husband was amazing when our boys were born and his support made such difference. Sophie, remember, you're the boss now. Not that you weren't already. Back at. I love that. I really do feel like the blessing of being pregnant is like the respect the man has for you.

Like, fuck me. Jamie lit. She just everything I say he thinks is huge. Yeah. And it's like I could meet in the fallout. I can do a fuck up. and he's just like, it's okay. I'm like, this can stay.

They really, really like admire you. Like, they look at the bum or like... Well, you're not at hope so. Well, exactly, exactly. I wouldn't expect anything less to be honest. No, and not would I. I'm like... But I think sometimes people can surprise you.

So it's good that you've had everything that you've needed. I agree. From Jamie. And you've taken advantage of it, which is fantastic. I really have taken advantage of it. I know. But I will say also, like, you kind of really do need their help. Of course you fucking.

do. I don't understand single mothers how they do it. Honestly. Like my hat, like you are heroes. I have so much fucking respect. Like, it takes like a whole fucking village. It takes a fucking village. It really does. Right. Should we read the second one? Hey, Sophie and Melissa, I gave birth to my first, a gorgeous baby girl named Lucia in August and I can't even begin to describe how amazing life feels right now. Sophie, my biggest piece of advice is to enjoy every single second of the newborn phase. Don't feel guilty for staying at home. The best days I've spent with Blue Chair have been on the sofa, watching real housewives and just staring at her.

You speak my language. It's the most special time for you and your family is sending lots of love. Can I just say I'm most excited for that, like, mom? I can't wait. Like, you just don't leave the house. I was like, this is the coziest thing I ever see. So cozy. It's like this week old baby and just tuts and then she's like got her cozy coffee and I'm like,

you just really like, you can like stay in bed all day. I stop. And they just lay there and they just do. And they do the newborn scrunch. Have you heard of it? I can't bear than newborn scrunch. I keep looking back at like Bella's, my sister's babies, all videos of her when she was like a week old and like so many scrunches.

But I didn't know what it was. No. I had a baby and I was like, and they like scrunch up and I'm like, I cannot bear it. Right. You've also got a present here from the team. It's not from me. It's obviously from the Wednesday's team. Just on it.

Wednesday's team. Parify. Oh my God, guys. No. Look how time. Oh. Tiny number one. You can't be serious, guys.

No, that's actually the most precious thing. That's actually the most precious. This is what I do to all my baby grace. Jamie's like, you've got to stop. I put them in my arm. He's like, and then I go, he's like, please. No, no, guys. Can I just say our Wednesday's team, you fucking rock.

We love you so much. So thank you so, so much for doing that. That is the most precious thing I've ever seen. No, there's a lovely. Oh, my God, the beige. I love a tope. I know. I actually can't cope.

It's making my eyes feel with tears. When Melissa Fasmeat's baby, they will be wearing this. I can't. Oh my God. How weird is it? How small that is? No, I actually can't grasp. She's crying.

I can't grasp, but it's in your stomach. And then now we're going to have a real life baby. I know. It's crazy. She's actually sobbing. It's just all a bit much. It is a bit much at this stage, isn't it? Oh, geez.

Guys, I love you. So much. That's so sweet of you. Thank you, Ily. Thank you for creating that lovely moment. That was so... Please tell me someone gone Melissa sobbing her eyes out. Oh my goodness. Oh, that is so precious. I love you so much. Thank you. I haven't seen Ziggy yet in real life, but you obviously have. Yeah. So tell us. He's honestly heaven and like so such an actual mom.

It's so weird seeing like your little sister be a mom and I reckon you'll find it so weird I will find it really weird But yeah she's like so natural Jamie's been amazing He's like doing everything in Camphauph and yeah they're so cute They're obsessed to them

I bet it's just such a cozy time Especially at this time It's such a good time to be a tired baby I really stand by this Like it is annoying because you're pregnant for our summer But they're not the heavily bit The heavily pregnant part's like going into winter

which is much better Yeah, and then you're just cozy, you can just stay in bed and not feel guilty about it all day long. Have your TV on? Oh my God, it's just so precious. And guys, if you didn't know, he was born on my birthday. Yeah. Which I predicted. You did! You literally did.

I literally said when she told me how you did it, I was like, but he'll come on my birthday. She was like really early. Like that doesn't really happen with like the first baby. No, it's actually so unusual for them to come early. It's the fact you predicted that. Have you like held a newborn baby in a while? The first one I ever held was Milo.

And then Theo, that's all I've had. You've had loads of exposure to babies, because of Toby's brother. A fair amount. I feel like that newborn is just so small. I know. Like even Bella's only year old, but I forget, like, oh my God, they're so delicate. Yeah, how tiny they are when they first come out. He, like, stretched this little face and he's like,

and it's so cute. What color is their size? Well, they're like dark blue, but all babies are dark blue when they're first born. Okay, so they all dark blue. Yeah, pretty much. Interesting. Because I thought they were all like blue-blue when they were first born. No, they're all blue and then they'll either go lighter or they'll go brown.

They'll go brown, okay. Yeah. I wonder, from this guy's Ziggy, like, honestly, is Sophie's, like absolute twin. Yeah. So I imagine he'll have brown eyes. Yeah, and blonde hair. Yeah. I think he'll have brown eyes.

He looks like his hair is quite light, actually. It's really light. He's got, like, white eyebrows. Oh, my God. He's really blonde. He's really, like, he's going to be like Jamie. Well, Jamie's real blonde hair. when he has a child.

Not the bleached version. Oh my God, that is so cute. I couldn't see that in the video. He's honestly, I can't wait. He's the beauty to meet him. He's so cute. My birthday twin. Yeah.

His first birthday will be my 30th. Oh, cute. Oh, no. I know. Like, so you leave your child on his first birthday. Oh, no. That's kind of annoying. That's it for this week Wednesdays.

But God, don't you just fancy some more, Melissa? Yeah, I'd really love a follow-up to some of those dilemmas. I want to know what happens. Well, then, Tynies, we have got some news for you.
