A Little Wave Back to My First Time Mummy Self...

Having a second baby has made me do a lot of reflecting back on what it was like to have a first baby. The nerves, the self doubt, the worry and the fudge-ups... And now I'm here in the realms of typically much more laid back round two I have decided I wouldn't change a minute of those worrisome rookie times. I wouldn't un-overthink the correct number of layers she slept in. I wouldn't take back one single of the million glances per evening at the monitor. I wouldn't tell myself to get a grip Googling all the dangers of UV sun-damage that can occur in the shade. And I wouldn't not buy all those overpriced newborn outfits she barely wore.

I wouldn't change any of it because quite often I miss that clucky, tense, over zealous noob mummy. She was so typical. Being her was such a right of passage. She made all the best "remember when" stories...

So on the off chance a first time mum or two stumbles across this... Carry on! You do need another 3 pack of cosy new baby grows (even though there's only really one in the pack you like). It is imperative you change their entire Moses basket bedding set because they dribbled minutely on it. Your baby will probably never recover their physical development if you miss a week of baby yoga.

Dear First-Timer-Me, Dive in noob! You won't regret a second of it and deeper you go the better the stories! Xxx

A few from the week...

  1. Amazing photos, I love the light through the trees. Motherhood is so much more relaxed and less worrying the second time around, makes me giggle remembering what I used to be like when Annie was little!

    Thanks for playing along with Point + Shoot xx

  2. I remember being a first time mum as such a bitter sweet time. Full of fears and full of joy at the same time. Your photos are wonderful. I love the perspective in your shots. #pointandshoot
