2:12Hello, I'm Jamie Leng. And I'm Sophie Leng. And we've been married for two years. And we're having a baby. Yes, we are. Are you ready? Let's go.
2:28Happy birthday, sweet pea. I love you so much. There's balloons everywhere, by the way. For everyone in podcast land. Podcast land. It spells out daddy. Daddy. Oh my God, there's a balloon that says daddy. Yeah, do you like it? Oh my God, I love that. Daddy. We love you. I love you, honey. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, welcome, welcome to a very special episode. It is my husband Jamie's birthday. and we love him so much and we're so grateful and you're the best person in the whole entire world. That is a really lovely thing. Oh, good. I'm so glad. Why don't we sing a little bit of Happy Birthday?
3:10Happy birthday to you. That's all that you get from me. Do you want to hear mine? No. This is how I would say it. I imagine mine is pitch perfect before we even begin the episode. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you Why don't you sing to the baby in your American voice? Happy birthday, happy birthday
3:43Happy birthday to you Before we start, we were singing happy birthday because it's my birthday. And Magda, our wonderful producer, has a hidden talent. I don't think anything's even hidden. Magda can you just give a little bit of that Those pipes over there just quickly Oh god right let me warm up again There she is Listen to this everyone Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Jamie Happy birthday to you It's just unbelievable It's just our milieu I have an idea That's how talented our team is I have an idea We could cut out all of that And make that sound like that was me No, you can't steal people's talents I can't No, you cannot Oh my god, Magda You're amazing at singing Love you guys I will say that when I was younger When I did musicals at school They once wanted me to be a main role But they were going to get someone else to sing And I was going to mime it Sorry, like what?
4:54But when I also learned guitar, which Jamie finds hilarious because my mum came to the school and said, I want my girls to learn guitar. And the school said, we don't teach guitar here. And my mum said, well, why don't you? And they said, well, we don't have enough students who want to learn guitar. So my mum signed up as one of the students so that they would have, I think it was five students to get a teacher in to learn guitar. and at one point she got asked to sort of like promote the guitar lessons and she got up in assembly and you know i'm like eight years old and she messes up and she goes in front of everyone oh fuck and i'm eight and at that point it's blasphemy i look around all the teachers like and i thought right at that moment please god just cover me up anyway when did you want your mum to die in that moment no i wanted to die myself i remember thinking no that she was like and it went wrong she went oh fuck dead silence to a bunch of 8 year olds the oldest people were like 11 and everyone goes and looks at me and I'm like mum and he said then what happened it's like whenever anyone said bloody you thought it was like if someone said bloody at school you were like bloody shut up was quite bad as well shut up anyway we then had carol service I'm in the guitar I'm in the guitar team and I'd love sorry you're sounding like you're saying the country guitar I know well yeah you say celebrate instead of celebrate do I call you out guitar I understand it's called guitar it was a slip of the tongue you little fuck face say guitar again guitar guitar okay listen so we're in carol service we're in the church it's Christmas okay and the guitar team are getting on and we've learnt this piece and I've learnt it I've learnt it I've learnt it I've learnt it just before I go on she goes right I was small so you're gonna be in the front but don't play just pretend you're playing and i was like what i'm not fucking kidding you i swear on my left my sisters also i think my sister might have been asked to do the same i'm not joking the two of us had to it was like it was like what's a silent night we were just like playing like and obviously i was like eight so obviously my mom was like were you not playing afterwards i was like she told me not to god our poor kid oh my god that's hilarious did you ever did you ever win any awards at school um no i got miss charisma i got a sash that said miss charisma i shit you not i'm not fucking kidding you i don't know where that sash came from i think they bought it just for me i don't really know what happened there You got a sash.
7:41I got a sash and I wore it on my last day of school saying Miss Charisma. I think they felt bad that I should have had something in my whole, you know, how old is I, 16 years of school day. So they thought, we've just got to give this girl something. So they bought me a sash. And they gave you Miss Charisma. Yeah, I'll never forget it. It was white, a sash. Wow, that's pretty cool. What did you win? Loads. I won loads, yeah. I won loads. Well, I did. You asked me the question. I won loads, yeah. I do. Can I say something? I do often listen to it if you've done podcasts or interviews. So I will listen because I am actually very supportive And I listen to everything you do You mention your sporting capability I really love you And I mean this with all the tenderness in the world I don't know if we can keep mentioning that you were good at sport Or rugby at school Yes I can At 17 was the last time you played I love you I love you 20 years ago But you talk about it as though you are Johnny Wilkinson You are the same standard I was God You never played for England.
8:40Doesn't matter. You never played for a team. It doesn't matter. You played for your school. Yeah, and I was a god. I was unbelievable. Sophie, I need you to understand something. I need you to understand this, okay? Do you understand what a school record is? Yes. Okay. I broke the school record. If you go onto the school record, at my school, under 10's javelin. So nine years old. Doesn't matter. Under 10's javelin. Look who still holds the record. I'm going to give you one guess. He's sitting next to you. I don't think they have a record for under 10s javelin still. And if they do, you are not the same person.
9:18Shall I get it up? It won't be on their website. It's on their website. Yes, it is. They have all the school records, 100 metres, all these things. The oldest standing record I held in 2000, and it's the under 10s javelin. And it's still the same. I held it 34 metres, I threw it. Okay, well, well done. I'm really proud of you with the javelin. Are you going to make our chart a play javelin? Guess how far I threw the cricket ball. What's javelin when you hit a stick? You throw a little poker into the air. I don't think we did that at my school. You actually, that was like, I think that was even...
9:48You throw a little poker into the air. It's actually so rogue. Like, it's such a safety hazard. Right, I'm going to run through some athletic sports and you have to say what they are. Yeah. Okay, here we go. Hammer throw. Throw a hammer. Do you guys hammer throw in your school? Because I fucking well do know. Okay, hang on. So hang on, you think the hammer throw is when you throw a hammer? It's an Olympic sport. No, I don't want to know that. I want to know school sports because I don't want you to... That's an Olympic sport. It's a school sport as well. Yes, your school, you did hammer throwing.
10:19Yes. That's obscene. Obviously we did it. Okay, here's another one, right? Pole vault. Where you stick the pole in and you roll over the pole. That's long jump, isn't it? Is that a long jump? This is unbelievable. Okay, here we go. Steeplechase. You're taking the piss. No, I'm not taking the piss. What's the steeplechase? Oh, when the ladder's on the sand and you go in and out, in and out, in and out. You think that's an Olympic sport? Well, dancing's an Olympic sport. Fair enough. Okay, I'm going to keep going. Heptathlon. A marathon or something with a hectagon that you pass around. Heptathlon, I said.
10:56An eight-sided shape is a hectagon. Oh, God. No, that's an octagon. What is the triple jump? Jump, jump, and you jump one more time. into what sand a sand pit it's always a sand pit okay right today it's a big episode it's your birthday how do you feel about being 37 can I say another really funny thing that happened so obviously we're in the later if it's anything to do with bows that off the record it's nothing to do with bows okay we're getting into the later weeks of Sophie being pregnant and the tummy becomes quite heavy that's what you've been telling me so the only comfortable position is when she goes on all fours on the bed.
11:41So the belly hangs down and you just look like a cow. That wasn't even comfortable, but I was in so much pain because I feel like there's so little room. It's really painful, actually, I will just say. Putting it out, there it is. And I was like, I don't know what to do. And somebody, my reflexologist, she told me that if I go on all fours, the belly drops and the baby will have some more room and like the pressure won't be too much. And so I got on all fours and Jamie just hysterically laughed and had to leave the room. And I just didn't care as I was there naked with my udders touching the bed.
12:16Sophie was going, Jamie, I'm in so much pain. And I was like, I don't know what to do. And she was like, wait, wait. And it was like, it was like trying to move the earth. She was like this, wait, wait, wait. And then you got on all fours. I didn't like to open my legs up. No, he's been all fours. Very ladyly, like. On all fours. Oh, God, it was good. Just FYI, it doesn't make it feel any better. Man, I love you so much. I'm so proud of you.
12:49Okay. I love you so much. Jam-packed day, babe. You tell me. We've got a jam-packed day. We've got some presents for you. Thank you so much. And I really thought long and hard about them. And I know that you're a really good present giver. So I hope that you're going to like these. Are you serious? Yeah. I'm really excited for this. Like, I think one of my love languages is receiving gifts. You change your love language every week. It's affirmations, it's out of service, it's gifts. It's every single one. I don't need so much personal touch. Yeah, I know, but I do, so I don't know if we're that compatible in that area.
13:21Because I like personal touch, and you don't. I personal touch you every night. For half a second. That is the biggest lie. I do it every single night. So prezies. Okay. And here is your first person. Well, thank you very much. With my face stuck all over. Sophie's face is on it with her tongue sticking out. All right, I'm going to open this up. Here we go. Here we go, everyone. Right, opening it up. As I go, it's like a long cylinder thing. I open up and it's anal bleach. I mean, honestly, like what? But listen. Anal bleach? But listen, you got me vaginal cream. Yes. And so I thought If you want me to tighten my vagina You can bleach your anus With aloe vera as well So it's very soothing And it won't hurt your piles Can I just understand Why you want me to bleach my anus?
14:12Because I have to see that anus all the time When are you looking at my anus? You constantly just roly-poly With your butthole out So you want me to I'm actually quite intrigued To see what it looks like Me too I'm fucking fascinated You really want me to bleach my butthole? I would like you to try it And then maybe I'll do it too Okay I'm opening up this one Wow, okay, here we go. Opening up this present. And we did it turquoise because it's your favourite colour. I love turquoise. It is my favourite colour. And this is... Here we go. You've bought me a fleshlight. And I wanted to see your reaction.
14:41And it's more of a test because if you do use that, we will get divorced. Why did you buy it for me? I didn't. The team suggested it because they thought you'd like it. And so I thought, well, we can get it for you. And if you seem excited by it, it's cause for concern. Why has it been opened? Ewan's been using this. Yui's been using this He's been bleaching his arse While using this I know it Like what on This is This is it Does that bring back memories? This is a flesh light Hold on So Oh my god Look at that It's amazing So what How does that work? Okay well do you want me to explain it to you?
15:16So if anyone listening You open it up You are fucking joking Then you You hold that on it You lubricate up It's essentially a dildo for a man And then you have sex with that hole But where do you stick it? Do you stick it on a wall or something? I don't think you can stick it on a wall Oh wait, hang on There's something on the end here I'm unscrewing it Nope, that's just where you empty out stuff Would you be upset if you came into the room I was using that? I don't think we'd be here The podcast would be over Don't just throw it at me now Okay, so you're buying me these presents And now I'm in trouble The team bought you that one How am I being bought them And I'm now in trouble, Ballard?
15:56Okay, last one. Here we go. All right. Oh. It's a hat. It's a hat. Oh my God. How cute is that? That's the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. Look at that. Hey, Dad. Hey, Mum.

I had such horrific nausea In this time I don't know why anyone thinks it's acceptable To make pregnant people at this stage get it back I mean surely not So it just comes back?

17:27And you constantly just ignore me. I know you don't listen to me when I say I feel sick. I do. Anyway, I'm lying in bed and it really hits me at night time. Like when I lie down, I feel like I'm going to chander all night long. And I suddenly, the duvet goes. And I am with my mouth open, whopped in the face with what I can only describe as sewage, mixed with baby poo mixed with a farmyard it was a farmyard I had gone to Hatton Country World and I was in the farmyard it fucking stank and I was like you cannot be serious did you just fart and you were like I'm so sorry and I was like I literally was just telling you how sick I felt and by the way guys I then threw up I then threw up and had to call the hospital because it was so scary I was so worried I don't it's weird throwing up at this stage of pregnancy when we got a baby full baby inside you that's because of your fart I went to the loo and I vomited stop saying that you can't lie I vomited you can't lie because of my fart and you felt bad because you were like oh shh you're just it's just nausea I was like yeah but that fart smell has sent me completely onto the scale of not nausea now I am absolutely going to protect our vomit and lo and behold I did an hour later because I swallowed your shit
18:49anyway Anyway, I should be nice to you. Right, go on. Why don't you give a little speech on my birthday? I could try a poem. Go on, try it now. We'll do a poem for my birthday. Here we go. Jamie Leng. He is quite peng. He also rides a bike because he doesn't like to hike. But when he eats lots of popcorn, he knows that he shan't scorn his employees because he respects them so much. Not as much as he respects the loo, because he always likes to go and do a poo. I love you so much. You have such a sweet touch. You'll be the best dad, even if you are a bit of a fad. I love you. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

22:09Okay, I've got one from Hattie. I'm so excited for you both to embark on this incredible next chapter. I had my beautiful baby girl last week. It's been a whirlwind and completely life-changing, but in the very best way. Congratulations. I feel so grateful and in awe of this tiny little person. But one thing I don't think new moms are fully prepared for is just how intense those few weeks postpartum can be. You're in the most magical baby bubble, but it can also be incredibly tough mentally. My labor was long, but I have no complaints. felt well looked after throughout. However, those first few nights in hospital after giving birth was so much harder than I expected.
22:45You'd think you'll be too exhausted to do anything but sleep, but instead you're wired, checking your baby every five minutes to make sure she's okay. I think I had about an hour's sleep in total in the first few days. When I finally got home, I cried and I cried, partly from relief, partly from sheer exhaustion and this overwhelming sense of love and responsibility for this perfect little person. It made me realize how little we're told what to expect immediately after birth as new parents, particularly mothers. Despite the challenges, it's all so worth it and I wouldn't change it for the world.
23:17These quiet, sleepless nights with my little girl carved up on my chest are everything. Keep doing what you're doing. It's been keeping me and I'm sure so many other new parents smiling and laughing. I love that. Hattie! Well done, you freaking legend. And that is so sweet. Please send a photo of your little girl. I love Hattie. I love that. So sweet Congratulations Congratulations Okay I've got one for you ready? Yeah It's from Anonymous Here we go I've been debating telling this story But I thought it was too funny And embarrassing not to tell During my first year of uni I met my first boyfriend One thing led to another As they do And I lost my virginity with him Midway through our first time having sex I'm scared He pointed at my arsehole and said, what the fuck is that?
24:07Panicked and extremely confused, I replied, it's my arsehole. However, on closer inspection, I realized that in fact, I had developed some kind of a giant skin tag. I was mortified. I honestly couldn't even look him in the eye, but thankfully he thought it was hilarious. So I went to the doctor, as you do, and the nurse asked how long I'd had the tag. So I stupidly told her the whole story I didn't think anything of it A few weeks later I met my boyfriend's family for the first time Walking through the door I had the shock realisation That the nurse That had looked at my arsehole Was in fact my new boyfriend's mum You're fucking You can't write this shit There's no way Safe to say that Jenna was very awkward It's still to this day never been brought up But every time I see her I lose a little more dignity That I almost like, is that real?
25:02Because that is so... Why would someone write in and make that up? Are you sure it's a skin tag or is that not just a hemorrhoid? Is that not what you'd call it? Like a big pile poking out? I have no idea, but I like that story. Okay, you tell me one, go. Okay, I have a pregnancy story from Anonymous. I'm such a huge fan and have followed you both since your Made in Chelsea dates. I'm so excited for your next chapter together as parents and can't wait for the new series. I met my husband in November 2021. It was a wild world romance. and within three months, I found out I was pregnant. We were both overjoyed, but at eight weeks, I woke up with severe pain and was rushed to the hospital.
25:36Sadly, we found out it was an ectopic pregnancy and I had to have my right fallopian tube removed. My world completely shattered. We tried again, but over the next four years, I suffered three ectopic pregnancies and five miscarriages. It broke us both emotionally and I truly thought our dream of becoming parents was over. Then in August 2025 When I'd almost lost hope We found out I was pregnant again Let's go And this time It's a confirmed uterine pregnancy We've seen such a strong heartbeat at every scan And I'm due for my 12 week scan on Monday A little miracle is due in April 2026 I wanted to share this to remind anyone struggling That miracles really do happen We're overjoyed, anxious But mostly grateful beyond words Oh, I'm so pleased for you Let's freaking go I'm so so happy for you And that's such a nice story For anyone else Going through that Like to give people hope And everything I just want to say To all of you guys Thank you so much Always for writing in your messages The ones that are personal The ones that are funny The ones that are That you never share with anyone We really just love it And appreciate it And you guys simply rock You really do rock And we're so happy for you Congratulations Love you We love you guys Listen remember to keep Sending in those messages At nearlyparentspodcast On Instagram Where you can send us an email Nearlyparents At jampodproductions.co And that is the end of Listener's Messages.
27:01Guys, I'm just going to stop the episode there to talk about our incredible sponsors today, which are Mamas and Papas. Mamas and Papas. The destination for all your baby must-haves. Sophie and I went there the other day to the shop and boy, oh boy, did we have a fun time. It's the best experience ever. Firstly, the shop is so cozy. It's so warm. everything you want to touch and put across your face because it's so snuggly and cozy. I need to talk about my pram. I know I keep getting bad. It's not your pram. Fuzzy, it's our baby's pram. But if anyone's pram, it's mine. Okay, well, it's got these sick rims.
27:36I don't know if you notice those rims on the pram. The pram is so easy. It's like, it's just, it's so great. It folds up. And also in this experience, like I, I'm not the biggest shopper in the world, right? I don't like shopping that much. I'm more of just like a go out and play some tennis kind of guy. You say that when you are a shopper, you do love to shop more so than me. What? Are you kidding me? Whereas we spend, what, like three hours in there? You love shopping. No, I like online shopping. Okay. And I also like online shopping. Mums and Puppers, they've got an app, which has really come in handy for me.
28:06But it was insane. We go into the shop, we see everything. There's so much stuff there. And also, we felt pretty underprepared before we went in. Now, fully prepared with everything. Everything. Every single thing from breast pumps to nappy bins to nappy changing mats to the bath, the thing that you put in the bath to wash them. There is everything. The Moses basket. The Moses basket, the toys, the clothes, every single thing is in Mamas and Papas, which is really good because it's a one-stop destination and you get everything. Yeah, basically it has everything. So if you are someone right now who is maybe going through the same experience that we're going through, go and check out Mamas and Papas because trust me, it is like heaven for babies.
28:41It's the greatest place I've ever been. Look, the thing is when you're pregnant with your fuzz, there's the lead up and it's like, when do we start buying things? And then it's like, what do we buy? And then there's a million different brands. There's a million different Moses baskets. And it's a lot. And you can get very overwhelmed. That's why I've loved Mamas and Puppas. Because I've gone there and I've got everything all in one shop from one place. Thankfully, for Mamas and Puppas, they really do understand the new parent overwhelm. And they just have the perfect solution. Yeah, for everything.
29:07For everything. For literally everything. Also, in Mamas and Puppas, they have this thing called buying for baby appointments. Where basically you get an in-store expert to take you around the whole store. which was actually incredibly convenient and very lovely. And guess what? It's a free personalized shopping experience to help take care of all your baby must-ups. Yeah, yeah. And also, I thought we were going to argue. We didn't argue once. No, because we had that gorgeous lady. She showed us everything. It was so clear. It was so concise. It wasn't overwhelming. Thank you very much. It was pretty amazing.
29:38I want to get back. Thank you, mamas and bubbers. Appointments are available in store and online.

33:43No So do I use that fleshlight? No the fleshlight is staying firmly here Anyway, okay Now this is a very fun thing Okay Okay So I By the way, to all you listeners I have no idea what's going on today Normally I'm in the know But today I don't I know Because Jamie and I Both love to have Our palms read And psychic readings And of course Our very dear friend Fingal Who we went to for so long And trusted so much With all of that Passed away I know And I know that you've been looking To have a psychic reading since Yeah, I have Yeah, that's very true. And we've missed Finkel so much. So I've found an amazing person called Eleanor Grace.
34:22Are you serious? And she's going to come on today because I feel like you would like to know what's in store for this next chapter of the line. That's insane. Yeah, I would love that. So welcome, Eleanor Grace.
34:36Okay, so what do I need to do? First of all, I will hold your hand. Okay, so what's unusual here about you? You're going to be quite secretive, I think, over the next six months, but you're plotting, planning, scheming, and you're discovering new things that are there for you. So it's like new beginnings for you. And there are three of them. There are three major areas. One is in March. So I will give you March 26. That's a really important key time for you. And you'll have to make decisions and you will also have to let something go that you've been involved in and begin again. So it's starting a new chapter in your life.
35:20But it's not just about family and circumstances with regard to who you love and children and everything that are close to you. This is about a bigger event. This is your career. So there's more happening March, April in your career. Are you connected to America now? I mean, is that something that you're considering opening up? Well, we've been thinking about that, yeah. Well, you will do. I mean, that's a definite because that's one of these little pots here. But you do have to watch for somebody called ***. I don't know if you know him at all. Do you? What? That's the most nuts thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
35:59Oh, dear. Who is he? He's got goosebumps all over me. That's the most nuts thing I've ever heard in my life. I can't actually say who that is, but that's nuts. Okay, all right. Well, I'm just going to say you have to be a little careful. Nothing wrong with him, nothing wrong with you, but just be a little careful around negotiations or things that you may say, things that you may not really want to expose, okay? So if you can, I mean, look, I know you've got your head in your hands, Sarah. That is the most wild thing I've ever seen. I have tears in my eyes. That's the greatest thing I've ever experienced in my life.
36:34Ever experienced. Okay. Well, that's why I'm a psychic. I know, but that's truly nuts. That's insane. That's the most insane thing I've ever heard in my life. Oh, no. So you've gone all hot. I know. Oh, my God. It's all hot. I've got tears. That was so insane. That is insane. Okay. Well, I know that it's your birthday coming up, but this is almost like a birthday present for you, this little message of, you know, don't be too prescriptive about what you're saying. And, you know, but you're going to get exactly what you want. But I do feel you've got to have a hard hat on, you know, sort of bit like a, do you go racing?
37:15Do you like Formula One? I like Formula One, yeah. It's a bit like that, I can see. So I feel that you're going to be meeting people from Formula One quite soon. that does seem to be quite an event and that you're involved in that world as well. But I can see you with the hard hat in the car. So that's a treat. You know, it's really an amazing treat for you. Shall we just have a look into your hand now and see what the lines are in your hand? That is totally nuts. Very, very long life that you have. So, you know, you've got plenty of time to do everything. I'm not saying at all that your life will slow down in any way because it won't.
37:59It is about to speed up. I just want to, if I can, just turn your hand around to the right. Okay, so this is just going to give me marriages and love interest as well, which we know all about. What you have here in your hand is that it's taken you quite a long time, really, to find the love that you have. There were many mistakes and some difficult obstacles to overcome. Most of those, I think, were your own self-confidence. I don't know why you didn't feel confident about yourself, but that was when you were younger. it was about competition that you didn't feel as though you were valued enough or in the right place at the right time but I think it was a feeling that other people beat you to it you know that maybe your contemporaries at school, at college or you know sort of higher education but it wasn't pleasant I'm not feeling that it was you know great so the love of your life is with you now and always will be It's a really long relationship that bears fruit all the time.
39:18There's like the pear tree, you know, it's there. So we're going to be together forever. Yeah. Good luck, Soph. That's you locked in, honey. But you give him space, don't you? Yes, she does. So it's amazing, you know. She does do that. Yeah, you give him space and he needs that. It's absolutely mad. It's like you're just telling me like you know me. Yeah, I do. I'm holding your hand. There are three children here in your hand. There are three. I'll check Sophie's. But I feel that they're all quite close together as well. Have a look into the crystal. Hold the crystal ball. Okay. So is there something that you're wishing for at the moment?
40:00Because I feel as though there is. The main thing I always wish for is Sophie and our baby is happy, healthy, safe, and content. Well, they will be. they will be this is about you though um you're getting on a plane quite soon are you flying somewhere into if you're not physically going into a plane if you haven't planned that then this is is really quite symbolic because when I see planes in a crystal ball it is all about it's your time it's not about Sophie and the baby it is about you so it's about although that's That's part of it. But this is also about how you are responding to that responsibility.
40:46This is wild. Yeah. So just going a little bit more back to your hand, because holding your hand is really the most important part of a reading because it will connect you to me. in your hand, I was saying to you, very long life. You've also got bracelets here in your wrist and these represent, there's three of them, they represent another decade each. So you've got 70 years in your hand, you've got another 30 in the bracelet. So that's 100 years of life in your hand as long as you don't do anything silly. Also I see here, fabulous heart line. It's connected very strongly to your lifeline. That makes you a very sexy man.
41:32I knew it. All the time. I knew that. Absolutely. I knew that. Because of that appeal that you have generally, because it's connected to your lifeline here, you're very intense with your love. So there's no letting go of the person that you love either. So there you are, Jamie. Happy birthday. Thank you so much. Unbelievable. You're incredible. Well, thank you. That was simply amazing. Some of the stuff you said there is absolutely mind-blowing. Oh, good. That's the best birthday present I could have ever asked for. Oh, thank you. You're okay. You're okay. Okay, we're going to do, can we do Sophie now?
42:13Okay. Sophie, welcome, welcome. Now, I want you to just relax your hand. And I want to place the anethyst and the rose around you. this is because you have a great deal of love in your life but also because of becoming a mum very soon and everything will go very well for you and it's a very smooth birth and because I think you know I was terrified when I was pregnant I just didn't know what was going to happen and I feel that that's been around you a little as well and but it's I'm just saying to you don't don't worry, don't worry about anything at all. What I'm getting here from you is that everything is new.
43:00Everything that you're wanting has to be brand new. Everything's new. So you're buying a lot of things in the next few months. But more importantly than that, I think there's a new start. Obviously, you're going to be a new mum. And that is going to be the most amazing experience. I feel that there's been a lot of resistance to this, perhaps not the right time in the past or having obstacles to overcome in the past. So you've made it. You're here. You've made it. And there's more to come. I feel that there's another two babies here. I did see three children in Jamie's hand and I've got another two here as well as this baby, but they do come quite quickly.
43:51So it's a period of time where you will have your family, you know, you'll have them all quite together. Now, looking here into your hand, though, I see a shadow on your lifeline. Now this is very lucky. It's a very fortunate marking that I see in your hand. Often it's a mark of emigration, but I don't feel that for you. So certainly property, overseas. Do you sing? No, I'm really bad. Have you got a terrible voice? A really bad voice. Right, okay. One of your children will. So there's a very strong voice here, musical voice in your hand. So if it's not you, it'll be one of your girls. It's a girl to come.
44:38That's a very pronounced area in your hand. So you'll be guiding your little ones and you'll enjoy every moment of that. Just use the crystal comet a little bit here. Something I like to, there is a big big wedding that you're going to by the way it's not yours, somebody else's really big celebrity wedding and again America so Taylor Swift many friends we're going to Taylor Swift, that's where we're going honey maybe it is maybe it is but there is a big wedding in America you will be there you'll be amongst everybody else as well okay just have a little hold of this crystal ball for me that is a citrine crystal and it is about prosperity um but it's prosperous for you in several uplifting ways and this is with family with your baby and the delight of being a mum let me have that now yes you want some wishes here So there's no pregnancy or birth that is without some discomfort, even though it's only slight.
46:03I think in your case, it's really going to be quite easy. There's no complications here that I see, but it will be a quicker birth than you're expecting. So perhaps get the car ready. Not the racing car, Jamie. That's great news. Do we think early? Earlier. Yeah, a little bit earlier. A little bit earlier than you think. So something about the dates isn't quite right. I don't feel like it's right either. Oh, really? Would you say that it should be earlier as well? I'm feeling about a week earlier. But not too much. I mean, it's, you know, the baby is very healthy and a very, very bright child.
46:48Beautiful face. Beautiful face. And endearing eyes. It's my baby, so I can't... It's got to be your face. It's got to be my very symmetrical face. Does the baby look like Jamie or me? I actually think it's like you. I'm a chuffed with that. I'm all right with that. I'm okay with that. I think your eyes in particular just have your eyes. But you've both got such a wonderful smile, haven't you, that it doesn't really matter. It's your baby. It's our baby, honey. Beautiful, beautiful as well. It's like the heavens just light up for both of you this December. and when I see that it can be a sort of celebration of your relationship that the love is in the air and the lights are there in order to combine the two of you together so there we are thank you so much lovely to meet you oh my god that was amazing that was unbelievable the best present I've ever given you that was unbelievable It was unbelievable Honey I really appreciate it Love you Thank you And I love you so much That was unbelievable We're going to be together forever I know that is a daunting prospect I loved it when she was like You've got three children And I'll see how many Sophie has And I was like What so he's going to have one without me Honey I'm with you forever And I love it And I can't wait I want to say thank you To every single person as well Even though it's my birthday I really appreciate you guys tuning in Honey I love you to absolutely a bit I love you so much And we love you the listener I hope whatever journey you're on right now it's as fruitful and as exciting and successful and all those things.
