I knew at five weeks. I’m quite regular so I went for a private scan before my 12-week I know when something isn’t normal. The scan and Kean was allowed to come with first time you find out you’re pregnant, it’s me at that time. I would have loved for a massive shock and you get all these kinds Mexx to have come too, even though he of emotions. We wanted another baby and wouldn’t have understood – I just think it we wanted them close together, so it was would have been nice for him. I’m lucky just a really warming moment. We were that this is my second time around and just really happy. I think I cried because I know what the procedure is. Whereas it I was so happy! would be so daunting to have to go and do little milestones on your own. Were you trying for your second baby?

There wasn’t anyone having an sooner rather than later because we appointment after us, so we were able to wanted them to grow up together. take our time. Because the baby was really active at the time, we had a lot to go on. How did your family and friends react? We were able to see the baby’s hands, feet I haven’t really told anyone. I told people and legs. It’s a really magical feeling. It’s quite early with Mexx and I felt like a bit surreal,, to be honest. It’s like you’re everyone was watching the on the telly and it’s pregnancy not actually [journey] happening with me.

We’re not going to find out. We want to keep it as a surprise. Do you have any inkling about what you’re having? I don’t know! With Mexx, everyone had their opinion. Even my midwife was like, “I think it’s a girl!” Everyone thought it was a girl, so then I thought it was a girl. Would you quite like a girl this time? Everyone says this, but I think it’s more magnified when you’re actually having a baby that you just want them to be healthy, so I really don’t mind. I didn’t mind with Mexx, either. I’m happy with whatever I’m given. Mexx is the best little thing in the world so if I get another boy, fabulous, if I get a girl and she’s like me, then we’re going to have chaos! ‘IFTHEBABYIS LIKEMEWE’RE GOINGTOHAVE CHAOS!’ Why do you say that? I’m just chaos! Mexx has Kean’s temperament because he’s quite laid- back and really chilled, whereas I’m 100 miles per hour and everything has to be done yesterday. Have you thought about names for the second baby? We had a couple of names with Mexx, because we didn’t know if we were having a boy or a girl. So I’m thinking, “What do you do with the second? Do you find a new name that you love?” We absolutely still love some of the names we were speaking about for Mexx. It’s strange because once you see them, you know whether the name suits them or not. Do you know what kind of birth you want this time? I’m not really fussed.
