kerrs febrile seizures
I put Alba in Kerrs cot, took kerr off Callum and began to strip him. It must have been instinct because I’ve never had any friends or family who have experienced a febrile seizure before. I didn’t even know at that moment that’s what it was. Whilst stripping Kerr I told Callum to phone an ambulance.

Their wee cuddles make my heart melt, their wee cries make my heart hurt and seeing them smile could make my heart burst.

Cheeky Little Smiles -Gemma Lomas
The best moment ever: when you first met your newborn. The moment you took in their beautiful baby features, touched their soft skin and heard their first sounds. The only time hearing their cry is a relief. Holding them for the first time and watching everything they do, finding every expression adorable and filling up with love when they wrap their hand around your finger for the first time.

what i’ve learned since becoming a mum
I’ve learned not to lick or smell anything that you accidentally put your hand in. Just go wash them.
Am I a bad Mum?
I have so much more respect for women who look like they have their shit together. Maybe I look like I do but some days I’m treading water.
I was the worst patient…
I was the worst patient….
Its a known fact that midwives are the worst patients. There’s no denying it. We know too much, we ask too much, we demand too much and we are just overall pains in the arses as patients.
Yes, this was me.
