At 04:30am on 28 October, I woke up to what felt like a water balloon bursting in my belly. “Keen, I think my water just broke”. We got up, started gathering the hospital bags we’d had packed for weeks (being prepared really paid off!) and planned to labour at home until I started feeling contractions closer together, and then monitoring them until they were about 5 mins apart before going to the hospital.

I’d heard from all sources that the early stages can take hours, so it’s best to stay comfortable, eat, shower and rest at home until it’s time to make your way to the hospital.

My contractions were only 5 mins apart almost immediately, and by the time I finished showering, they were just 3 mins apart. It was definitely time to go.

Thankfully we were too early for the morning Nairobi traffic, so we made it to the hospital in less than 15 mins (it’s taken me up to 2 hours before).

By the time I got to reception my contractions were just 2 mins apart. We got to a room, I lay on my side and immediately caved on the “I don’t think I’ll need an epidural” decision. The doctor came in to check my progress. “Too late. Fully dilated” was his response. At this stage I’d only been awake for 90 mins. Another 90 mins (about 20 pushes) later, he was out in the big wide world.

August was born at 07:30am on 28 October 2022. A perfectly healthy baby boy: 3.2kg and 47cm.

August Mulvaney rocketed into the world on 28 October 2022 at 7:30am 💙 Feeling totally overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for his safe delivery and his indescribably wonderful dad @keenanmulvaney 👩‍🍼

Not able to venture very far from home right now, but this tended camp in the Nairobi National Park is pretty much right on our doorstep and perfect for a one-night escape from the city ⛺️

9 years ago today, @keenanmulvaney grabbed my hand in the middle of the main stage crowd at Rocking the Daisies and said “I know we haven’t known each other for a long time, but I really don’t want you to be someone else’s girlfriend, so will you please be my girlfriend?” and then we started kissing and then the guy in front of us turned around and shouted “Dude! Two chicks kissing!” And we’ve been kissing ever since.

This mobile@by @mossiehandmade is my favourite thing I’ve bought for our nursery. The details are so precious and I know it’s going to be something that I keep forever. @mossiehandmade can do pretty much any custom design or theme, and her prices are so reasonable. (I ordered the mobile arm off Amazon as I couldn’t find a wooden one here in Kenya)

For the past 3 seasons, I’ve looked forward to celebrating Spring surrounded by white blossoms in anticipation of the most delicious season of the year… @sweet_cherrytime! The trees are heavy with fluffy blossoms, which will soon burst into sweet, shiny, perfectly red jewels. I’m missing cherry blossom season this year as I wait for the birth of our baby, but I’m already dreaming about the perfect fruit coming soon

8 weeks to go 🗓

Couldn’t decide whether I wanted a maternity shoot or not, but now I’m so grateful to have these! Honestly, being pregnant is a MIRACLE AND TOTALLY INSANE. Imagine, a year ago I never wanted kids and now there’s an almost fully-baked human in there and in 8 weeks they’ll just be out here in the big wide world 🥹

I am so grateful to have these pictures, captured right at the end end of my second trimester, mere moments before I turned into a monster, by @emmajanenation @ladandlassphotography 🥰❤️

Memories of a lifetime ❤️

A printed photo book to show our kids instead of having them sit down to a slideshow from my hard drive one day ❤️ It took me ages to do a wedding photo book because a designed one was too expensive and a DIY one was too much of a mission. But I found @fynn_photobooks on Instagram and decided to give their software a try and here we are! It was much easier to use than the other versions I’ve tried and literally took less than an hour to put together. The quality is perfect and this A3 hardcover version cost me just over R1600 including delivery. If you’re ready to print your own memories, you can use my discount code TAILS15OFF to save 15% until the end of August ✨
