...and within the blink of an eye you’re 4 weeks old 😭
I would love nothing more for time to stand still during these precious newborn days. But then again I’m so excited to hear you giggle, watch you play and feel the warmth of your cuddle when you can cuddle us back.
Every day is precious and as much as you are a shit machine, a greedy little milk monster and a sleep thief some nights I will never take a moment with you for granted. 🖤

Bank holiday Monday means an extra morning of family snuggles in bed, and a lie in for me 🙌🏻
Can 3 day weekends be a once a month thing please? 😇.

I spent a good hour last night scrolling through my camera roll on my phone procrastinating and I can’t believe this photo was just over 4 weeks ago, at 37 weeks.
We used to spend hours laying in bed wondering what Arthur would look like, who he would look like more, whether he would be born with a head full of hair and whether it would be dark or fair. Now we’ve had 3 whole weeks with him at home and my body is almost back to normal.
It will never cease to amaze me what a woman’s body can do.

Today marks three weeks of you and one week of jus

Today marks three weeks of you and one week of just the two of us at home.
This week I’ve learnt that it’s okay not to get dressed everyday or to chose to stay in bed after the 7am feed, one walk all week is still a massive achievement in itself and it’s okay to admit you’re struggling doing it all on your own.
Having a baby in the middle of a global pandemic is hard, but it does also have its positives. Yes, it’s lonely; but no visitors also means you don’t have to worry about the house being tidy. Yes, it’s tiring having no help; but theres also no pressure to get dressed in the morning and we can enjoy all of the squishy cuddles in last nights PJ’s with no judgement.
It would be so easy to fall into a rut in all of this as a first time mum but it’s important to look for the small things that keep us going. 🖤

Who’d have thought I could love a pair of feet as much as I love yours, Arthur.
We may not know where these tiny feet will take you throughout your life, but what we do know is that they’ve already made one hell of an impact on ours 🖤.

Today I managed to squeeze into a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans and take Arthur for a wander in the pram. We didn’t go far; but the fresh air was much needed!
I thought it would be a good couple of months at least before fitting back into jeans, but yet again my body has amazed me at less than 3 weeks postpartum! 🙌🏻

Today is the day I’ve been dreading; Nathan’s

Today is the day I’ve been dreading; Nathan’s first day back at work.
In any normal circumstances I’d have family round to help, Arthur would already recognise their voices and cuddles, we’d have been able to pop out on an adventure in the car. But we’re not in normal circumstances; not even a tiny bit. Luckily family are at the end of the phone, although he hasn’t had cuddles from anyone apart from me or Nathan, and the furthest adventure we can go on is for a wander in the pram.
But, I know I can do this. We’re staying home for the right reasons and I have an amazing support system which is all I need. I’m going to look back in years to come and be proud of what I came through being a first time mama in lockdown. 💪🏻🖤

Friday already? That means we’ve had two weeks of loving you AJ 🖤
You fart like a trooper, have a million different nicknames already like milk monster, sleep thief and our little pal. We like to wind Daddy up by telling him you’re Mama’s boy but we both know how much you love your mornings with Daddy.
The weeks are going within the blink of an eye and I can’t believe it’ll be time for Nathan to go back to work on Monday already; so this weekend we’re gonna make the most of having him home and have lots of cuddles whenever we can.
Anyway, enjoy your weekend, pour yourself that gin, and order that takeaway. You deserve it! 🖤.
