A beautiful Easter gift came this weekend for the Chen family. Meet Jia Micah Chen, born 20.04.19 at 12:31am 💙 We are ridiculously in love with this little boy and incredibly grateful to be at home and getting to know the new addition! Beautiful typography by my talented sis @ashleybirdeeee
Happy Easter everyone! We're at the 'walk-down-all-the-hills' stage 😐💙 • • • #comeonbaby #expecting #easterbaby #please #thirdtrimester #mumlife #nzmum #nzbaby #euroasian #hapakid #kiwikid

Brb, busy consuming my own baby weight in home baking 🙊 They're meant to be labour/lactation cookies, but at this rate their just feel-sorry-for-yourself/thought-the-kid-would-be-here-by-now cookies instead... #38weeks (feels like 40) • • • #happysunday #weekendbaking #mumlife #baking #nzmum #thewaitgame
He might not be the only child for much longer, but he'll always be my special boy - the one that flung me into parenthood tired, confused, scared and overwhelmed, all while giving me a tremendous sense of absolute belonging and unconditional love. Yep he's a handful, he's also a heartful. Right now I can't imagine how there'll be enough space in me to love this new addition, but I I have a funny feeling it may feel a lot like.... being flung into parenthood tired, confused, scared and overwhelmed, all while being given a tremendous sense of absolute belonging and unconditional love 💙 #seewhatididthere #onlychild #nzboy #nzmum #nzmotherhood #nzmummy #nzkid #mumlife #motherhood #pregnant #thirdtrimester #motherhood_nz #ig_motherhood #honestmotherhood #euroasian #hapakid #parenting #mumsofinstagram
NEW BLOG POST ❤ Behind that smile is a groan that says: "Okay, okay, how much longer?" I've written a short piece about how everything hurts, everything sucks and everyone seems to think you should've already had the baby by now 😂😂 No seriously, it ain't great. But there are a few things to be thankful for when you're 37 weeks pregnant. Like having less than a month left of being pregnant to go! Read it now, link in bio ❤ P.S On the lefthand bottom side of this picture you might be able to spot a lone tampon on the ground that Ashton so lovingly found in the bottom of a bathroom drawer somewhere and decided it was a great new toy. Thanks mate. Havent needed one of those for aaaaages... • • • #pregnant #thirdtrimester #expecting #37weeks #popping #nzmum #mumlife #mumblog #mummyblog #nzmummy #motherhood #nzblogger #ontheblog #newontheblog #motherhood_nz #ig_motherhood #myhonestmotherhood #honestmotherhood
#gumbootday ❤ Wanted to shout out particularly some incredible mothers I know who also struggle with depression. I see your strength, your resilience and your hope. None of it makes you less of a mother. Never stop talking about what's going on under the surface and I am always here to trudge through the hard times with you x
NEW BLOG POST 🙌 Separation anxiety is a real and awful thing - and for a toddler, starting at daycare can be an incredibly traumatic process. My experience in this with Ashton involves tears, tantrums and falling down stairs (#badmum).

Just found out you're not meant to feed ducks bread? Can anyone confirm? Asking for a friend, as this was definitely not what we were doing in this particular photo... • • • #sorryducks #sundayarvo #familyouting #sunday #familytime #parklife #nzmum #mumlife #nzkid #mumblog #happyfamily #nzautumn #motherhood #childhood_unplugged #nzmummy #nzparents
The other day a lady asked how far along I was. When I told her I was almost 36 weeks, she shook her head and said "noooo... That's a full term baby in there, you'll give birth soon" while she looked unbelievably at my protruding bump. I don't like comments like this at all buuuut.... I kinda hope she's right? 🤷‍♀️🙇‍♀️ • • #36weeks #feeling39 #itshuge #icantgetup #whalelife #preggoproblems #pregnantlife #expecting #bump #aprilbaby #notmaythanks
Autumn's rolling on in 🍃 I for one, am REALLY excited about the rain and cooler weather 🤞
And just as you convince yourself how terrible and miserable and fallen this world is, you look at them. You look at their smiles, their eyes, their innocence, their chocolate-covered, goof-ball faces - all proof that love prevails. All proof that a better future, for them, is worth fighting for. • • • #thefuture #myreason #happychildren #happysaturday #fluffylife #nzmum #nzkid #mixedkid #ig_motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #dailyparenting #thehappynow #childhood_unplugged #letthembelittle #growingup #mumlife
