MYLEENE'S BLOG

Wow! What a month February has been! It's totally gone by in a flash! I've been extremely busy promoting my book, My Bump and Me, which is basically the diary that I kept throughout my pregnancy and my album, Myleenes Music for Mothers which I compiled and recorded for mamas to relax to. Its been so much fun playing and promoting both of them on shows from Al Murray and Alan Carr to Richard and Judy and Loose Women. Thank you to everyone that bought them and supported me. I really do hope that they keep you entertained!

I covered the Baftas in Londons Covent Garden which was brilliant fun. I interviewed so many talented people. Keira Nightly was adorable, Kate Hudson was incredibly elegant and Ricky Gervais was his usual funny self. It was quite an eventful night as directly after the ceremony, I had to run through the streets of London, Cinderella style, in my ballgown (minus the heels) to make my radio show in time!

And talking of awards ceremonys, I am writing this blog with a bit of jet lag as I flew back from LA only yesterday having covered the Oscars for my CNN show, The Screening Room.

Ava and I had the most amazing time. She is a little Beverly Hills baby now as I took her shopping down Rodeo Drive, (a girl can never be too young to appreciate the excitement of shopping!). We put our hands in the cement imprints at the Graumans Chinese Theatre (Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland were my favorites), walked into 'Hannibal Lectors cell' at the Hollywood theatre as well as saw 'Dorothys ruby slippers'!

We watched the Lunar eclipse from the Griffith Park observatory and just in case you get the impression I did little else on my work trip than sight see, I got the once in a lifetime opportunity to present some of my links flying in a helicopter over THE Hollywood sign, an experience I (and my stomach) will never forget!

Let's see what March brings! Hope to see you at my book signing today. In the mean time lots of love and thanks once again for all your support. You make all of this possible for me and I love sharing the experiences with you.

Love always Leenie x

The wait is over – Myleene's diary documenting the journey through her pregnancy with daughter Ava, is out now! Titled 'My Bump & Me' the book is about everything Myleene did ‘wrong' during her pregnancy, how her hormones turned her into a woman she hardly recognised, and how incredible it feels to be expecting a baby.

Its a refreshingly honest look at pregnancy, revealing Myleene's practical advice and other essential medical information. Accompanied by photos documenting what Myleene got up to during the pregnancy, Myleene & her finance Graham reveal how they molded their lives around the baby and the emotions and stages they went through together.

Summing up the book Myleene says – "If you are a woman who has become someone she can hardly recognise, who has cried over the nursery curtains being the wrong colour, or because your partner forgot to put a kiss at the end of his text message, this book is for you."
