The biggest transition made is becoming a mum.
The biggest transition made is becoming a mum of two..
The biggest transition made is becoming a mum of three…
The biggest transition……… You get my point!
Becoming a second time mum for me was scary.
‘What will Alex thing, how will this affect our family life, how will this all work out’
Giving birth was amaaazing, honestly, I kid you not, it was actually good (read more about that journey here)
Taking home baby was longed for, breastfeeding was pretty easy and Alex loved giving Logan cuddles.
So how did my life change? What actually changed?
Well for starters I stopped listening to all the magazines and ‘experts’ that tell you how to raise your child.
I have tuned in to my intuition allot more and ask for advice in a small group of friends who have similar ideas in upbringing.
I carry Logan around in the awesome Beco Soleil (product review coming soon!) each day and rarely have him in a buggy.
I can’t tell you how disconnected I feel from him when I put him in there.
We’ve also proudly breastfed in public.
Something I never did with Alex, I was scared of people staring, having an opinion and the need to express it (we’ve all read the horror stories)
But as Logan flat-out refuses expressed bottles we have no other choice then to feed, whenever, wherever.
First time was pretty awkward, in a small waiting room of the Dutch embassy filled with people (talking about taking the plunge!)
Second time, the natural history museum, they do have pretty awesome feeding rooms with comfortable chairs.
And the third time in a kids café (café with separated area for toddlers and babies to play) that was pretty interesting as quite a few kids were curious as to what I was doing.
All these times I can honestly say, I have never felt judged, I might not have always felt comfortable but I did it with confident!
Last but not least, I enjoy it as much as I can this time.
Of course I enjoyed Alex being little too, don’t get me wrong, but this time its different.
There is no rush, or excitement towards seeing the next step of development, there is just now.
Being here in the present together, enjoying each other, having those cuddles when he wants it.
Laying next to each other and just babbling over nothing and just looking at his reactions.
I think every child being born into a family makes a big change.
You learn something new every time around, you change the things you’ve done the first time on the second time.
You set your mistakes straight and make new ones along the road.
