The last year has flown by. It's been hard, thrilling, exciting, loving, emotional, chaotic and lots of other things, but I do love being a Mummy of 2 boys. They are the best thing ever!
I still haven't lost all the baby weight, in fact I got to within 3 lbs of my target and put it all back on again! To say I'm annoyed is an understatement. Not really loving my post Leo body but I hope to be doing something about that very soon.
I still think about Leo's birth a lot and quite often look back at all the old videos and pictures, including the birth itself which I am so pleased we caught on camera. It still amazes me that I did it!
The journey started in August 2008 when we started to try to conceive Dollop. We were very lucky and it took us 2 months. I went from this...
0 weeks
..to this
12 weeks
...then this
20 weeks
...and finally, this.
Then on the 25th May at midday I started to have contractions. (This is me in very early labour at my Mum's house celebrating my 30th birthday!).
We eventually went to the hospital at about 10:30pm and I was soon in active labour. At the point of this picture I had just been told I was 9cm dilated and started pushing 45 minutes later.
Then after an hour of seriously hard pushing my little Leo entered the world at 5:29am on 26th May 2009, my 30th birthday. (Note time of post).
Within an hour I had had a bath and Rob dressed Leo.
And we were eventually taken down to the ward.
Not long after Ellis joined us and we were finally a family of 4.
After a week stay at hospital we were home and settling in to the new normal. I took monthly pictures of my growing cutie pie and this is the results of the last 12 months.

This is Ellis at 1.
This is some other 1 year pictures that I took.
I'm so in love with my boys, it's crazy! I never want to forget or miss any moment I have with them. They are my life and always will be.
