I just had one of those moments that remind me how lucky I am to be a Mum. I was giving Ben his 10:30pm bottle and I felt overwhelmed with love for my boy. Obviously I always love him, but sometimes, when it's just me and Ben, late at night when the world is really still I feel quite overcome with emotion and totally connected to this beautiful, tiny person. He was lying in my arms, very relaxed, drinking away, half awake half asleep. The room was dark and the house was quiet. He smelt so nice and his breathing was so beautiful. At moments like these I feel so lucky to have all the nice things that go with having a son but I also feel lucky to have had the sleepless nights, the cracked nipples, the post natal depression and of course the diarrhoea and the vomiting. I would never have had this amazing human experience without all that. I just had to come and write something on the blog because I don't want to forget how nice it feels right now to be Ben's Mum.

Hey I can relate to everything there... okay maybe not the nipples! It's a wonderfully scary, uplifting, worrying time so filled with love for the child you brought into the world. a lush post. P XX
