Maddy playing rugby in an end of season tournament with lots of other local clubs. (Some serious dad involvement in the shouting from the sidelines!)
Playing on bikes the day after Max and i came home from the hospital.
Swan Pond – Maddy’s Hama Bead swan pond model from the night before Freddie was born. Rather fabulous 🙂
Genetics at the dinner table (it is a long time since GCSE biology) – trying to explain why we are all different, how people have elements of their family and why Freddie might possibly have had something wrong with him that came from one of us and only showed up because he was a boy. Or might not. (Back to not knowing anything again.)
Easter Crafts; house is littered with them, mostly done without me being around.
Flowers for Freddie. Sometimes i think my heart will break because to refer to myself as mummy when i think of him or talk to him in my head, just doesn’t feel quite natural. I never really got to be mummy to him.
Merry I think you have been a wonderful mummy to Freddie. xx
Very impressed by Maddy’s swan pond :0)
It’s so good that there is “other stuff”……:)))
merry, you mummied him safely for 9 months cosied inside you, you mummied him with love and care once he was born. he drank your milk [even if via an ng tube] and he recognised you. you are truly his mummy.
Echoing everything others have said – you absolutely ARE his mummy even though it was for the shortest time. Other stuff looks fab 🙂
Echo what Helen said ~ hear it loud and clear ~ Freddie KNEW you were his Mummy ~ and you held him when he needed you most. He loved you and you loved him ~ you were, you ARE enough for him.
The crafting looks brilliant ~ as ever 😀 And go Maddy!
