Anticipation: the aftermath

February 28, 2013June 10, 2016 knockedupjacq4 Comments

On the day before the babies were born I published a post that listed the various things I was looking forward to. It was entitled ‘Anticipation’. Now that six weeks have passed, I thought that it might be interesting to visit that list and see what elements were as I’d expected. My original list items… Continue reading Anticipation: the aftermath

The first six weeks

Well, Hattie and Joe were six weeks old yesterday – or, as I like to think of it, we’re halfway to the stage at which we might find life becoming marginally easier – and it seems like a good opportunity to take a breath and reflect on what’s been going on.  Of course, this great… Continue reading The first six weeks

You’ll find the photos under the ‘Hattie and Joe’ tab at the top of the… Continue reading Four weeks old

Snuggling with Joe

Of course, it’s great when both babies are easy to settle and go to sleep straight away, but let’s be honest: how bad can life be when Joe is a bit grizzly and, as a result, I get to spend the evening with him snuggled into my chest like this?

Little by little

Thank you so much for the lovely comments in response to my last (overwrought) update. I really appreciated such kind words when I was feeling pretty rough. Hattie and Joe will be four weeks old tomorrow, and – dare I say it – things have been a bit better in the last couple of days.… Continue reading Little by little
