Motherhood Unedited

Just a short one today - our cat was bitten by a brown snake on the weekend and I feel terrible about it. She’s still alive at the moment but vet bills are crazy 😭 Trying to figure out whether it’s better to say goodbye. Cat mumming is hard sometimes too :(

Today’s episode covers some wins, frustrations and general observations about being a new mum. Baby Winnie is growing and changing everyday. Such a little cutie! She loves music already - it’s so beautiful to see our girl responding so positively to the thing that both Allan and I hold so dear.Be sure to follow me on Instagram @ruthobriencreates for more updates ❤️

Today’s episode is a brief snapshot into our morning routine. I talk about how things have been going in the last week and little Winnie has some things to say as well! I was lucky enough to record her making the cutest noise ever and also giving us a nice little sneeze at the end.  Thanks for taking the time to listen 🥰

Today’s episode is about the journey we went on to becoming parents to little Winter through IVF.We first started the process of looking into IVF back in 2022 and had the actual procedures and cycles of IVF last year, in 2024. Spoiler alert: it worked first time! But that’s not to say it wasn’t a process and a huge commitment for both Allan and I, physically, emotionally, and financially.

Ok, this episode was recorded in three parts and I hesitated about even putting it out but in the spirit of fighting perfectionism and trying to stick to a regular time of releasing new episodes, here it is! Lots of cute Winnie noises in this one. ❤️ These first episodes are gunna be a bit rough but stick with me! I really appreciate you taking the time to listen along!

Come with me as I share my story + tips, ideas, questions, embarrassing moments, wins and highlights of being a new mum.
