‘Bump and I’ is now ‘Bub and I ‘ 🥰
Say hello to baby Finn 🐠 — born last week and already the most important job of my life. I have a little bit of time off planned so I can get to know this gorgeous small human a bit more, but in the meantime TB&Co is very much business as usual — the team are listing, videoing, selling & carrying out viewings as normal. We’re also lining up photo & videos for new listings at the end of August / start of September 🤍 🏡

I don’t think I’ve ever been happier & more in love 🥰
We were super patient with bub & wanted him to have every chance to make his own way out but he was near on claiming squatters rights in there! Finn was born at 42 weeks via c-section weighing a healthy 8lb 4oz (so much for big babygate!)
So, for someone who wanted a beautiful home birth with a pool & throughout pregnancy said things like “if I have to have a c-section, I will have birth trauma” I can tell you now, having a caesarean was the best decisions I’ve ever made. For major abdominal surgery, it was a strangely beautiful experience.
It was so far from the birth I wanted but not only was it my choice, it was calm, stress-free & peaceful. At 16:20 I walked into theatre holding the hand of my best friend, got to listen to music we liked, laughed & joked between being continuously updated about what was happening (so much so they told us to stop as they were trying to do the spinal 😂) & then at 16:54 I was laughing with Nathan & the team about how our baby looked like a screaming mandrake.
I might tell this story in more detail when the time is right because when it comes to birth, awareness, confidence & understanding your right to say no to general guidance (ie induction, which I politely refused) is so important.
To be clear, I’m not a medical expert — just sharing my experience, and always happy to chat if anyone has questions. ❤️
I’m not at all sad we didn’t get the birth I wanted & I’ve gone into the postpartum and recovery journey in such a good headspace.
Thank you for following me and bump over the past few months and for being so invested in this special chapter of my life. 🤍
