Pregnant In Heels Episode 8 – Feelings
As I crack open yet another Diet Coke and sit in my window seat staring out to the clouds on my flight home back from a press tour and a blogging conference (SheCon) in Miami, slightly (okay, very) annoyed that the lady in the unitard sitting next to me is hogging both elbow rests so typing is almost impossible, I am starting to reflect over the last eight weeks of Pregnant in Heels on Bravo.… Read the rest
Episode of Pregnant In Heels – This is Real
So incredible to think that the wee embryo I saw on the screen was Wells. So utterly amazing that on that screen was this very young baby boy, this miracle who so wanted to be here.

Episode 5 of Pregnant in Heels – Baby Showers!
In all honesty, when I left England (agreeably, I was only 18 years old), I don’t think I had even heard of one. But then again, I hadn’t heard of a bridal shower either. I am not so sure whether this was because weddings and babies hadn’t been a huge research topic of mine at that juncture in my life, or whether such celebratory events are simply shied away from in that grey landscape that can so often swallow British culture (though let’s hope that, since my departure, both bridal and baby showers are back in force!).… Read the rest
