I don't want to sound like a broken record, but you know we really debated whether or not to try and have another baby. I absolutely LOVED the newborn phase with Alf, but then I really struggled. Really struggled. Was it the end of lockdown? Was it the slow physical (and mental) recovery from birth? Was it matrasense and feeling like I didn't know who I was anymore? Was it moving away from my friends? Sleep deprivation? Maybe a combination of all those things. I was really scared to put myself through it all again. But honestly, the moment she got here, everything just felt right. The last few weeks have been really healing actually. Firstly, I realise how 'demanding' Alf was as a baby (and I say that with so much love for him). He needed feeding at least every hour, he never took a bottle, he woke every hour for the first year (to feed). Ada is the opposite - she sleeps for 5/6 hours (on me) and feeds well. It's really confirmed how all consuming my experience with Alf was and I'm actually so proud of myself. Its perfect, because it means I get to spend good quality time with Alf! I'm really loving our weekend adventures too. I'd never been to Canterbury and it's sooo beautiful. I am not religious but I absolutely adored the cathedral and the grounds. I loved reading about all the history too and how old it is! 🇬🇧❤️ We find having a stocked up nappy caddy in the car, and bag packed with spare clothes and nappies for both of them ready to go makes things really easy. And we always bring a packed lunch out for Alf! Today we just took Alf's pram and I carried Ada in the carrier. I love this carrier as I can breastfeed in it on the go. I'm actually feeding in photo 4 - you'd never know. 🤱🏼 Anyway, that marks the end of my 6 weeks recovery - although I'm definitely still healing still! My scab seems to be starting to come off though! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. ❤️」4月17日 5時21分
