Nicole Bass is on cloud nine weeks after welcoming her second daughter. Introducing her bundle of joy Millie Nicole Beasley to new in a gorgeous family photo shoot, the former TOWIE star tells us she is "in a complete baby bubble".
"I just adore my two girls," she beams.
Back in April last year the 32-year-old surprised her fans when she announced she was pregnant again in a new magazine interview, five months after welcoming her first child Bella Rose. While she received some negative feedback from her followers, saying she will be stressed with two under two, Nicole admits this couldn't be further from the truth.
"I honestly don't feel like that at all," she says.
"My girls will grow up as best friends since they're only a year apart. Obviously there will be hard parts, but I'm focusing on the positives. It's other people's opinions that made me anxious and I wish I didn't listen to them."
Millie, who arrived into the world on 22 November last year weighing a healthy 7.2lbs, is Nicole's second child with her partner, who she's chosen to keep out of the public eye, following a series of public break-ups with ex-boyfriends Lewis Bloor and Sam Mucklow.
Here, the star tells us her birth story, gushes about Bella and Millie's adorable bond and reveals her hopes for a third child...
Hi Nicole. Congratulations! How are you adapting to life as a mum-of-two?
I'm doing great. I'm still trying to figure out a routine but we'll get there. In fact, I actually prefer having two under two instead of being pregnant and having a little one to run after. I found that harder.
How is the sleep schedule going?
It's OK, but I am tired. Millie wants a bottle every few hours, so I'm normally up at 1am, 4am and 6am to do that. But when Bella naps during the day, I try to squeeze in some sleep with Millie then.
How is Bella Rose doing?
