*REALISTIC* Morning Routine of Pregnant Mum & Toddler (2 and half years old) - Solo Mum Morning VLOG 

I've been watching your videos from when George was a baby, my son is 7 months old at the moment and it's crazy to think in a couple years he will be doing what George does. You're doing so well xx

I find getting out everyday really helps with the toddler tantrums- even just a little trip out of the house- really helps! Doesn't have to cost money- just to the park, or if it is raining to the garden centre, to a pet shop to see the animals, fish shop (some near me you can feed the koi carp), even the trolley to the shops (not for the weekly shop though!) and pointing out all the different food. Basically anything is fun for a toddler- and I always make sure I am totally present during that time, no phone etc so they get full attention. In the morning scene my impression was that George really wanted to play on the kitchen surfaces- pop the toaster, go through the cupboards etc (toddlers love that stuff!) and as you let him on for a little bit before taking him off for his safety- he acted up to get back on the kitchen surface again! Basically toddlers are great at pushing your boundaries and if you give an inch they will take a mile. I found having a stool helps them engage safely with what you are doing in a more controlled way- great for allowing them to join in with all stages of baking safely etc. Parenting a toddler is hard work and requires a lot of time and energy!

That alcove in your bedroom would be perfect for floor to ceiling built in wardrobes giving you loads more storage 👍

Honestly you should be so proud of yourself ♥️ being pregnant and looking after toddler must be so hard! I have 2 year old one only and sometimes I just have enough 😂 Hopefully it gets easier for you once baby girl arrives! 🎉 Congratulations we are so happy for you! ♥️

Thank you for always being so real, this is why your one of my favourite RU-vidrs and always have been! ❤️

i’ve been watching your videos from when george was 7 months old like my baby thinking they were your recent uploads. to then find out george is 2 now took me back a second. what a lovely little boy ❤️😂

The getting out of bed while pregnant, I felt that. We all felt that 😂

LOVE and appreciate the honesty. I’ve had a bad day with my toddler and this video has made me feel sooo much better. Thank you!

OMG George cam is just the best thing! seriously the best part of the vlog so far :)) :* I absolutely enjoy your videos Shan. Thank you!

I'm due August and have a 2 and half year old. Can relate to this video 100%

Really enjoyed this realistic mum vlog. You are doing a great job!

You're honestly doing such a great job. Being pregnant, having a toddler and pets is definitely a challenge and the toddler stage is definitely a difficult one to contend with, especially when you're doing it solo! I hope you're at least able to have help and have some time to yourself to breathe and relax while you're going through the testing times 💖 xxx

Hi Shan, thanks for the breakfast cookie idea with fruit and oats. I have done this today with my little boy (three this weekend) he really enjoyed this! Love watching your videos for inspiration, and also your money saving tips. Xx

I'm at the pregnancy stage now where getting out of bed is just sort of roll about until your feet hit the floor

I relate to all this so much. Fellow toddler mumma here in solitary 😅 You’re doing amazing xxx

I love the dungas! They saved me buying maternity tops whilst pregnant as the dungarees covered the gap where my tops were too short! 😂 Keep them! You'll grow into them 😊x

George is so funny. Have you started feeling more comfortable with showing his wee face again? His haircut is also very cute! X

I have an 18 month old boy also called George, and just wanted to say I have loved watching your videos since being pregnant. They've helped me alot. So happy for you that you're expecting again. I'm hoping to grow my family but am also finding it hard getting my head around having 2! I will definitely continue following your journey 😊 also the dungarees look great on you 👍🏻 xxx

It's really helpful you showing the realities of motherhood (i'm about to be a first time mum!) Also please share the banana oats cookie recipe if possible I would love to try it :)

Hey Shan, my first born was just the same in the mornings at age 2. Very emotional, bless him. Couldn't do anything right for him 😩😅 Was really hard work. As I'm sure you know it will be just a phase so hang on in there ❤️ You're doing great! And thank you for sharing the realities of parenting xxx

You are doing amazing!!

You look frikkin adorable in those dungarees, you are definitely pulling it off🥰💕 I loved wearing dungarees when I was preggo x

With the plane/molly thing...I'd say "I can't let you chase molly, can you see it's making her frightened, but we can throw a ball for molly or we can play planes together" or something. If you can't play nicely then we will have to take the plane away and see it through. But jess from ourmamavillage talks about getting curious. My 2nd was and is still at 4 a constant pusher of every boundary of every. second. But you are doing amazing! I remember how hard my 1-2 year old was when I was pregnant with my 2nd.

Hi Shan, if possible are you able to do a health and development update by the health visitor for george since turning 2? My little boy has just had his and would love to know how George got on 😊❤

The dungarees look lovely on you George is so cute great vlog x

George was so funny at the end of video. Typical the food was elsewhere other than his belly!

None of us know what we are doing when they kick off don't worry ❤️❤️ it's hard work!

Poor molly looked terrified. You’ve got your hands full lol xx

George is so sweet! Cup of tea mummy!

Do you have anywhere what makeup you use? I feel like I want to try some different products and your make up looks lovely 😍

My daughter is very much like this too, whenever she wants me she just does little cries and pushes me or grabs my hand, saying mummy but her patience is non existent too, hard when I really need to do something! Doesn't do it so much with her Dad, god knows why!

Super cute dungarees chick 😍 💕 thanks for this vlog, honestly made me feel so much better, my lb is exactly the same as George if I'm honest he's probably worse especially with the listening. Hang in there, I've got my baby girl in the sling and playing lego AGAIN lol. I wing it everyday but they are both happy and smiling and that's all us mummas can do. I'm gonna try the cookies but swap dates for chocolate chips, cheers for the nudge to do some baking 👍👍🥰🥰💖💙🌈🦄

We plan on having our second after my operation so my daughter will be around 2. I struggled with extreme hg with my daughter and too sick to do anything. We want to give her a sibling but it gives me anxiety being pregnant again 😅

Aww molly 😂 Love the dungarees on you x

George cam was so cute 😍 😆

Just came across your channel, I’m due my baby boy in May! Just wondering where did you get your rug from in your living room? Xx

When you say “we got into some bad habits” in regards to his sleep. What do you mean hun? I just need to know what to try and avoid with my LO. trying to pick up tips from other mums xx

Thank you for the great video. Can I ask when do you walk the doggy when it's just you and George? Especially on a nursery day? Thank you

My 2.5 year old is EXACTLY the same with our dog. It’s the age when we definitely need to set boundaries, it’s not easy though. Do you ever lose your patience?

Your doing such a wonderful job. But honestly how do you avoid the mummy burnout every night? ❤❤

You look very cute in dungarees but I get what you are saying about feeling weird when changing style 😂

Have you tried letting him make his own brekkie? My girls 1.5yrs and she’s been doing her own cereal for a little while. Pours the cereal and milk in no grabs her spoon. Stopped the morning tantrums

I think the dungarees really suit you 😊

I've watched some of your videos here. Can I just give you a little bit of constructive criticism? It makes it really hard at times to watch the videos because of the wobbly camerawork. You can use a tripod instead of holding the camera in your hand. It will make such a difference.

God the skin smoothing thing on your camera is crazy, your face just looks like a blurry bot 😂

Poor Molly looks petrified 😅😅 :/

With your comments re the tops Are you planning to breastfeed this time? X
