I think I just always imagined my own mother was so "GROWN UP" and that I'm not just not yet...but I guess maybe she wasn't as grown up as I thought either!

He immediately became quiet and clung to me. Despite the fact he is pretty heavy now, I handed the baby to family and picked him up, then let him hide his face in my neck for the following 30 minutes while he calmed down until he felt comfortable enough to socialise. On the inside I was glowing with love that it had to be me (others did offer, including daddy, but no) and that he still needs me that way. It really is those moments that make you feel like a 'real' mummy :) x #sharingtheblogloveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788630399983153965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743775917250773115.post-58677481265313706442016-10-13T19:57:16.899+01:002016-10-13T19:57:16.899+01:00Gosh this little post just made me catch my breath...Gosh this little post just made me catch my breath! You are so right - there's something that only a mummy can do. Our little place so much trust in us - they rely on us for everything - and so often we feel like that trust is unfounded, like we don't know what we're doing. But we will do absolute best for these precious ones!!!! #SharingTheBlogLoveLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916252996761852252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743775917250773115.post-49717227805327873532016-10-13T15:30:43.538+01:002016-10-13T15:30:43.538+01:00Beautiful post!

A lovely moment. I'm one of those mums who didn't expect to be maternal, had no idea about babies, but it's just happened and felt so right, despite having to have an unplanned csection and that breast feeding didn't work for us. But from talking to friends it seems that I'm in a minority - I seriously expected to be someone who found it harder work....I'm just waiting on it all to go tits up come teenage years! #sharingtheblogloveEmma Thttp://bubbablueandme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743775917250773115.post-15015286078624019692016-10-11T21:00:02.286+01:002016-10-11T21:00:02.286+01:00Aw such a beautiful post, I'm loving your outf...Aw such a beautiful post, I'm loving your outfits! <br /><br />#twinklytuesdayNote Me Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870195320557495476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743775917250773115.post-48411155412682698312016-10-11T14:39:48.159+01:002016-10-11T14:39:48.159+01:00Aw this is such a lovely post!
