yes…back to reality. Don’t you just hate the way it comes round waaaay to quick.
Cant believe its been a week since i last posted. It just doesnt seem like it. Time has a way, as they say, of flying when you are having fun, although interestingly it seems also to go quick when you are not having fun..which is good i suppose.
Interesting things this week. I have totally loved a book by a lady called Jackie Clune, who is a actor who had triplets about 18 months ago and has written a book about it, she also has a daughter who was about 15 months, i think.
I have such ridiculous admiration for mums of multiples, partly because i have nursed babies who are multiples so many times as they are very likely to be born early or need a bit of help. But also because i am fascinated by them. I can never quite get my head around multiples..i mean, the human body is designed to gestate one at a time..we dont have large wombs and we tend to have just enough room for one baby….so why is it that multiple births happen? why do eggs split producing a carbon copy of itself… I just find it all remarkable and i love it.
In her book Jackie speaks with such affection, honesty and truth about motherhood that I felt like tracking her down to shake her hand. I know she is a multiple mum and I have had my three all as singles but the bare bones of the job are the same.
We where asked recently by some new parents…’so when do you get it sorted?’ I responded…’you don’t…’ and i think the expectation that you should ‘get it sorted’ often leads to problems. Kids are amazing, babies are wonderful but they change and alter quicker than the weather and you just have to adjust….a lot 🙂
and besides..its the journey that counts, not the destination. Which is a good thing, because sometimes we don’t know where we are going HA!
anyways..here are some more pics of my little birthday girl…. the traditional first thing bedroom shots and her with her cake.
I will be back, sooner this time Mel, I promise 🙂
and no, dont generally dress the girls in the same, the jammies that Maisie is wearing are actually Isaac’s…still not too sure how that happened 😉
and just had to add this one….awwwwww
lovely little people.
love m&d
I have read that book too – I loved it and it certainly makes you thankful for that first scan when you see only one baby! Lovely pics of the children.
