Stacey Solomon is adored for sharing the ups and downs of motherhood, and her most recent revelation is one that other parents of newborns definitely share as well: the first passport shot. On February 28, the TV personality shared a humorous Instagram story with her followers in which she described the difficulties of the photo booth.
She commented, “I am completely perspiring in this booth. “That is not feasible. And tomorrow is her appointment for her passport. Send aid.” The comment was scrawled over pictures of two-week-old Belle, who was either scrunching her little face with her tongue out or crying with her lips open in one try.
Solomon announced she had given birth on 11 Feb, and revealed her floral-inspired name two days later. Belle joins Solomon’s blended family, made up of her dad, Joe Swash, siblings Rose and Rex, and half brothers; Zachary, Leighton, and Harry. While the 33-year-old has shared a number of gorgeous photos of her family on social media, we love that she continues to be real about the more stressful, less glamorous moments of parenthood. Keep ’em coming! See the brilliant snaps below.
Obtaining a newborn’s passport photo, which ludicrously only expires after five years in the UK, is no small job for any parent, and Solomon brought her down-to-earth demeanor to the situation. In the end, she said that her father stepped in to take a picture of Belle at her house in an effort to get a cleaner shot. “I decided against doing it at home because I believed it would be simpler to do it at the post office, where it could be checked. I was mistaken “She also included an emoji for laughing while sobbing.
