Mum of Sonny

mumofsonny

Hello, I'm a freelance writer and mum from Belfast. I specialise in human interest, fashion, beauty, lifestyle and celebrity profiles. I live with my best friend in the shape of a pretty amazing husband in the east of the city, our beautiful baby son Sonny and a boisterous rescue cat called Rex, a more appropriate name might be Wrecks. I've been putting pen to paper since I was a teenager. starting of with angst-ridden poems and progressing to write about things and people that inspire me. I love writing, it's a wonderful form of expression and I take pride in eliciting emotions in people. For me, that's the ultimate reward. I'm 30-something, and to my shame. it's taken me this long to galvanise myself to start a blog. It's probably a confidence thing but, as you get older, you're not so paralysed by what people think of you anymore. This is me, like it or lump it. With this blog, I'll be writing about my life, what I've learned, what I've still to learn and hopefully inspiring you and making you laugh and/or cry. I'm not here to ruffle feathers or be controversial. I'm just going to be myself. I hope you enjoy reading what I have to say. Love, Davina x

We are running a series of #birthinlockdown stories. Unfiltered and unedited. To tell your story, DM, or comment below. Thank you, Heather, for this beautifully written mini blog @hevvyb 😘⁠ ⁠ Our daughter Erin arrived on Thursday April 23rd at 19:53, just ahead of the clap for carers, as if she was waiting for some applause on her entrance to the world! She was welcomed into the world in theatre after turning back to back right at the last stages of pushing. A team of utter wonder women rushed us to theatre and within 10 mins she was in my arms. Erin is our second baby, and she was 10 days overdue, my son was 14 days overdue so I knew the score, but going ‘over’ during a global pandemic added to the usual anxiety, and lockdown made each day feel like another nine months of pregnancy! At 40+10 I was induced, and 24 hours later Erin arrived. We had the most magical midwife who was with us the entire time, and she kept telling me she was smiling behind her mask, and not to be scared, she was awesome, and she truly was our hero throughout my labour. ⁠ ⁠ Being pregnant and giving birth during lockdown was scary at times, you have all the usual anxiety ramped up to infinity and all your instincts and hormones are desperately trying to fight against all the weirdness so it can be so draining. All that melted away once we were in the hospital though, and all the staff makes you their focus, no matter what is going on around them, or how different your surroundings are from normal. You get used to everyone in masks and PPE and just feel safe and excited to meet your baby. We are desperate for our family to meet her and give her a cuddle, but we’ve also been lucky to have this time as a new family of 4, just to ourselves. All those cuddles will be waiting for her and we can’t wait. Any mums to be feeling worried, don’t be, you’ve got this.⁠ ⁠ #lockdownstories #lockdownbabies #covid19 #baby #newborn #newbornmum #babygirl #motherhood #birth #labour #csection #midwife #clapforcarers #love #overdue #secondbaby #induction #ppe #mumtobe #babylove #overdue #40plus10 #instastory #cute #beautifulbaby⁠ #nofilter #mymagicaleveryday ⁠#chillmama #childhoodunplugged

A bank holiday is a paradox. While many take advantage of a well deserved day off, in fact, in the past, bank staff used this day to get their affairs in order. This had reminded us that mums never get a day off. We don't get a day to 'get our affairs in order'. Motherhood is relentless, all consuming, unforgiving. But take comfort... You are the sun, moon and stars to your baby. ☀️🌙✨ Thank you to our friends @duvet_days for this beautiful image. ❤️ Reposted from @duvet_days (@get_regrann) - I created "Goddess of Life" for ALL mother's who provide life and love to their children in whatever capacity they are able to. A mother represented as a crescent moon to her nursing child who is made up of the stars. The word "crescent" comes from the Latin terms ceres meaning to "bring forth, create" and the crescere, the Latin term for "grow, thrive". ⠀ ⁣⠀ Designs: © Designs By Duvet Days / All Rights Reserved⠀ #regrann #sunmoonandstars #baby #mother #bond #igdaily #mama #mom #nogreaterlove #love #art #illustration
