❄️It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas ❄️ The autumn door is down and winter has arrived.... I’ve packed away the orange leaves in the shed ready for next year 😬 And the giant baubles have taken over! I took this yesterday but it didn’t feel right posting it with all that was happening. 😢 So here it is, and on such a beautiful wintery day I’m getting seriously excited for Christmas now 😍 Hope you’ve all had a lovely Saturday ❄️ 🎄 made by @poppybelleflorals (not a gift or an ad just amazing company)

Joe recently spoke out about his experience of being a dad to newborn Rex, revealing that he has sometimes struggled with Stacey's 'overprotective' parenting.

The couple were speaking together on podcast Here We Go Again, during which Stacey said: "I did go a little bit, I'm not going to say crazy, I'm going to say warranted.

Bye bye Maldives 🇲🇻 ... It’s been a magical dream! Feeling so lucky to have had this special time with my family. I’m gutted to have to start wearing shoes again 😂 But I am really excited to get home... Sounds strange I know, but I get so excited to get back home after being away, is that weird? I can’t wait to see the cats and dog, have a roast dinner and do the school run 😂🖤

"I went lioness, it was all necessary or at least I believed it was necessary at the time.

"It was imperative for me at that point, after I had Rex I felt like - also because he was a little bit early, and he was tiny and he struggled to feed, I just didn't want anything to harm him and this overwhelming sense of needing to protect him just took over my life."

🧡 Happy 6 months pickle 🧡 I honestly couldn’t believe it, when I saw the date today and realised Rex is 6 months old today. 😭 It’s flown by. It feels like only minutes have passed, but also as though Hes always been here. It’s been an emotional, exhausting, incredible, 6months. Rex we love you to the moon and stars and back again. I pray that you’ve loved coming into our world as much as we’ve adored you coming into ours. 🧡 23/11/2019 🧡 I’m off to scroll through more old pictures from when Rex was born and cry myself through the night 😂😂😂

She added to Joe: "Nobody was allowed near him including you and that wasn't anything against you.

“But I just struggled, I didn't want anyone kissing him, I didn't want any germs going near him.

"I didn't want... I felt like he was fresh out of my vagina and so he knows my body but he doesn't know anyone else's body and everything else was alien."

Joe replied: "I did have to bite my tongue quite a lot because every urge and every feeling that you get about Rex as a mum, you know being a lioness, wanting to protect him, as a dad I get them exact feelings."
