- Good morning guys and welcome back
to another day of Vlogmas.
This morning I am out and about really early
because I am off to meet up with a friend
who has recently had a baby.
She's had a little girl named Sunday and she looks adorable.
I am so excited to see her.
So, you may also recognize her because her name
is Ferne McCann and she was in Towie, I'm a Celebrity,
she's a presenter on This Morning.
She's a bit of a celeb now, but she actually used to be
my hairdresser back in the day.
She's a bit busy for that right now.
But yes, let's go and see how she's doing.
I'm just going her flat right now.
(Ferne gasps) Hello!
- Hi!
- [Emily] Oh my God, she's perfect.
- She's cute, she's got a little bit of a cold.
- [Emily] She's opened her eyes, aww.
- [Ferne] Aww, that is so cute.
- She's making me broody!
- I'm here at Ferne's flat
with the most perfect looking baby I've ever seen.
- (gasps) Aww, thank you.
- She is adorable.
Look at her little face. - She's rather cute.
- And I was just saying to Ferne
when I got here, so a very very long time ago,
Ferne used to do my hair.
- I did.
- Because she's like, well you are a trained hair dresser,
like Vidal Sassoon, aren't you?
- I trained and worked for Sassoon's as a colorist,
and I used to do your hair.
- Yeah, and it was when I was having my hair done once,
and I was talking to Ferne about YouTube
because you had a channel, when you had the time.
- I did, yeah I posted like three videos.
- But she was doing like beauty,
well we were just talking about YouTube, weren't we?
And I was like, "I reckon I could do that."
I could do like a mummy channel.
And you were like, "You should do it."
- I remember the conversation so vividly,
and now you're like so successful.
- Now it's happening.
- No you are!
It's like you're smashing it with the mummy videos.
- Yeah.
- And I think that's so cool
because I was doing your hair.
- Yeah, yeah. - And you was working.
- And you were like, you should do it,
and I was like, you know because you feel that nervous
at the beginning, and I like do it.
- Now look at her, she's smashing it.
- So look at us, yeah.
And now you're a mum!
- [Ferne] Yay!
- And I wanna show the tree as well, just over here.
- [Emily] Look at how beautiful that is.
- [Ferne] I mean, you've got to have a little bit
of feathers. - I gotta get this bauble in.
- [Ferne] And a little bit of bling at Christmas.
- [Emily] Look at how nice that is,
love it. - [Ferne] Yeah.
- How are all the early days going so far?
I mean, you look all, she honestly looks
like she's got it really all locked together.
Everything looks clean and nice
and you look happy. - I mean, I've got a cleaner,
I've got a cleaner. (laughs)
- I can't take credit for this very--
- There's a mum hack for you.
(laughing) - I know,
I can't take credit for this very clean flat.
And my mum is like my full-time doula.
- Yeah, she's just like-- - I swear to God,
she's been amazing. - Your mum's amazing.
- Yeah, and it's gonna be very difficult
moving back to the flat
because my mum, and I'm so grateful to her
because she's been doing all the behind the scenes work
which I know, a lot of mums out there,
they have to do that themselves
like the cooking, cleaning, looking after other children,
and changing your sheets, - Well being a single mum--
- And everything like that-- - It's nice to have
an extra pair of hands - Absolutely!
- Yeah, exactly, so she does all the behind the scenes work
which has allowed me to solely concentrate on Sunday.
She done a pee pee!
- (laughs) She's just done an explosion.
- Sunday, that's what you needed.
- That's why she was squirming.
- I know!
Let me see. - Oh bless her!
- I mean, if it hasn't leaked we're great.
- She's all in white but there's no, uh.
- Oh my God you can smell a little bit.
(laughs)
- That smile's gonna happen any time now
(both gasp) - Oh look, she's got a dimple!
- You're smiling.
Yes she has, which I don't think I've got dimples.
- She's so cute. - She's really cute.
You really question yourself when you're a first-time mum
about if other mums are around, I'm like don't judge me.
- No, it's so funny though.
I think I parent differently in front of other people.
- That's so true!
- Yeah, like if you're at a playgroup you're like,
I shouldn't really tell him off because everyone's looking.
(laughs) - Mm-hmm, that's it.
- Or sometimes it can help me,
like I just need the easy life.
- I went to a baby massage class the other day,
and I opened my changing bag and had wipes
that probably weren't the wipes
that people think that you should use,
and I was like hiding them not getting them
out of the package. - Oh, you were embarrassed!
- Yeah, I was nervous about-- - That's sad isn't it?
- So silly, isn't it?
- It's so silly.
Alright, I've just left Ferne's place
and it was so nice to catch up with her.
You may have seen I had a cuddle with Sunday as well
and I wasn't going to because I've had a cold,
but Ferne was like, honestly she has a cold as well.
Just hold her it's fine.
So I held her and I tried not to breathe in her direction,
but she is just the most beautiful baby.
She is so perfect.
She looks like a little doll.
She's such a cute baby, so so cute.
But yeah, Ferne seemed like she was doing really well,
seemed like she was a very natural mum,
and yeah, she's doing it all on her own.
So she's doing an amazing job,
and what I would really love for you to do,
if you're in the UK, please tune in on Tuesday night,
this Tuesday coming, to see Ferne's TV show.
She's done a one-off show called First Time Mum,
and it's basically her journey of pregnancy, birth,
and being a new mum.
So, I'd love for you guys to tune in and support her.
I'm sure it's gonna be amazing
because she is very an open person,
and she even vlogged parts of the birth,
and I know it will be a really good watch.
So definitely tune in to see that
on ITVBe Tuesday night at 9 pm.
So yeah, I'm really looking forward to that
but, yeah, I've just made it home now.
Alright, I'm home to this little guy now,
and he is not feeling very well, are you?
Not 100%, but I also forgot to say
that while I was with Ferne,
we filmed a full interview for Channel Mum.
So I will link their channel down below
if you want to go and check out the full interview.
It will be out in about three days.
It will be out on Tuesday,
so go and check that out.
But now I'm gonna see what the big boys are up to.
And we are just writing some Christmas cards, aren't we?
So, Fraser you're writing them all to your friends,
and Caleb you're writing them all to your friends,
and grandparents, yeah?
And Caleb can write is name now, look at this.
(gasps) That's C-A-L-E-B.
- I'm just gonna do the N now.
- [Emily] Okay.
Oh yeah, that wasn't no, oh man.
- [Caleb] Is that an n?
- [Emily] What is that?
- An n!
- [Emily] Is that an eh?
- No, it's an eh!
- [Emily] An eh!
Wow, oh so close.
So that eh needs to go after the luh doesn't it?
- Oh! - It's okay, don't--
- Then I'll rub it out.
- [Emily] (laughs) That looks really good.
- Did you see it?
- So these are the Christmas cards
that the boys designed themselves.
This snowman over here is Caleb's,
and then the tree is Fraser's one.
I just think they're so good,
I can't believe they did them all themselves,
they're excellent boys.
Right, we're now just making some festive snacks.
Caleb is here is just cutting the banana and grapes up.
He's doing a very good job.
We're basically making these. (Jackson whines)
So you can hear Jackson, I'm holding him.
So we're making these little snowmen
lolly like stick things.
So you basically just take your fruit
and put it like that to make a little snowman.
And also these little Santa hats, how cute are they?
So they're just strawberries dipped in yogurt,
and also with like desiccated coconut on it as well.
Yes, I'm basically making an Instagram post
for Ella's kitchen, and these are their recipes.
I'll link the recipes down below
if you wanna go and check them out,
but they've got four really cute little recipes
so I thought we'll all get in our festive jumpers
and have a little photo.
I love yours.
Caleb's is really cool
'cause whenever he moves, what happens?
- It lights up.
- Do a little shake, let's see.
And it lights up, oh I can see it!
So I've got my festive jumper on now.
I think I've shown this one before
but it says Santa, Define Good.
I've got it from Next.
And Jackson's got a little number on it
that says ho ho ho on it, matching leggings.
Hey, we're all festive now. (Jackson babbles)
What have you got?
I can show them your outfit now.
Well, lookin' smart.
Alright, so my friend Jane just came out for a little bit,
and the whole time she was here,
Jackson was so clingy to me,
like he literally wouldn't be put down for anything.
(whining and yelling) And now that she's left?
Yeah, now that she's left, he is like fine again.
So obviously, I think he just thought,
she was maybe gonna take him,
cause she has like had him for a bit before.
This clingy bit, it's really hard,
but it's also nice to be wanted and needed.
But I know that one day I'm gonna really miss it,
when he doesn't really like want me at all.
But some days it's relentless,
when you can't even go to the loo, or,
(Jackson crying) get dressed in the morning,
oh the boys are killing each other (laughs).
Alright, I've got this monstrous thing
back out of the garage.
This is what Caleb used to stand in
while I was cooking and stuff,
cause he always wanted to be involved,
but I need both hands.
So Jackson's the exact same,
whenever I'm cooking he's like, please hold me.
But now, he can stand next to me,
and hopefully he's quite safe in there
so he can't really fall out.
So yes, Matt hates this thing,
he thinks it looks really ugly in our kitchen.
(yells)
But it's super safe, isn't it?
You holding a knife isn't very safe though,
should we make some sandwiches?
Alright, ready?
- Yeah! - Some butter!
♪ Hear those magic reindeer click ♪
- [Emily] You do it!
♪ 'Cause I just want you here tonight ♪
- [Emily] That's it, you do it.
♪ What more can I do ♪
- He's gonna dance, aren't you?
Here let me hold that, then?
It's a bit dangerous, bubba.
(festive Christmas music)
The boys and I are just playing a game
where you get a Christmas stocking,
one of you goes to sleep,
and then the other one is Santa,
fills it up with toys,
and then like gives you the stocking.
You have to go through the contents.
They love playing this game.
Don't you, even you Frase?
But at the moment, Fraser is obsessed
with his brand new Nintendo Switch.
He got it for his birthday.
- [Caleb] Mummy, you have to go to bed!
- And he loves it.
- [Caleb] Mummy, you have to go to sleep.
- Okay.
- Don't say what it is.
- [Emily] Okay.
- You can't know what's inside, Mummy.
- [Emily] Okay, I'm asleep.
- Now wake up.
(Emily gasps) - I have snacks and toys.
- [Emily] Oh my gosh, it's Santa!
- I have snacks and toys for you.
- [Emily] Do you, what kind?
Oh my goodness.
- I've got a Nature Valley bar and yogurt and toys.
- [Emily] Aww, some Ella's Kitchen,
some Nature Valley bars, yes!
Is it just full of food?
Ah, look!
(gasps) Oh wow, this is what I wanted, fidget spinner.
- [Caleb] I give you that.
- [Emily] And a Match Attax tin.
- [Caleb] And I got you two fidget--
- [Emily] Alright, shh, he's asleep.
Okay, you can wake up now, wake up.
Morning!
- (gasps) Mummy!
What happened?
- [Emily] What, Santa's been.
Can you believe it?
- Wow! - I know.
- What did Santa give in my stocking?
- [Emily] What did he get?
Oh look!
- Right, I am now hiding in my bedroom
because Matt's mum has come round
to have the boys for a few hours for me
so I can just do a little bit of work
and editing for the vlog and stuff.
So, I'm hiding in my bedroom because
even if I'm in the next room,
Jackson seems to know about it,
and he will be at the door like, trying to get to me.
So yeah, I'm hiding in my room basically with my laptop,
and I'm just gonna do a little bit of work.
I'm still hiding out in my room.
I've been here for about two hours,
and I have got loads done,
but I think I'm gonna end the vlog here
because it's probably quite long by now,
so thank you so much for watching.
I will be back tomorrow, and I'll see you then.
Bye guys!
