Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "This is my 'new' motherhood - your body doesn't feel like your own. Nights turn into days. Jobs you could get done are now done with a newborn or just not done at all. The baby just has to blend into routine of having multiple children, very challenging but it's only been a week, we all have a huge adjustment to make. Trying to forgive yourself for feeling like you're failing all the children for being forgetful or having a short temper. Constantly snacking and thirsty. You know the hair loss phase is about to start. Your eyebags have eyebags. Your skin isn't as young as it used to be. Let's not get started on the post labour pains and bleeding... And although she was only induced 3 weeks early I've already started to miss those tiny feet lodged in my ribs or causing me to pee 50 times in the night - she's thriving outside the womb, it could've been a different story. ... But there's a beauty in the newborn bubble. The newborn haze. There's something about those tiny newborn cuddles, or snuffly sounds in the night or the heartbroken cry when you've had to put her down to do something other than snuggle. It isn't long before they are raging toddlers... Or tweens and teens."

Born VE day (8th May) at 11.14am Induced early for several reasons and it was definitely the right call - labour induction wasn't going great, to the point it was almost an emergency c-section due to cord compression/cord wrapped round the neck and she was born needing some CPAP assistance and a hot cot for a day, plus having her bloods monitored due to my gestational diabetes - however, we are now all home! My mum was there to deliver the baby which was a beautiful moment and also delivered the placenta - she has always been the best labour partner but having her there to deliver my baby meant the world (for context she is a midwife) I did gender reveal cookies prior which was fun to make plus did all colour themed sweets to give to the kids when they came to pick us up from hospital plus got the kids little gifts. I have taken SO MANY photos so was hard to pick ones out to post. Been an emotional, overwhelming and very exhausting few days but she'll soon fit into the chaos of the Shaw household."

Like all good things, summer (and all its barbecues and beach days) must come to an end. Going back to school is all early alarm clocks, homework and routine and I feel like the summer past in a blink of an eye. How was your summer and are you glad the kids are back at school/home school? We've sorted out the new school shoes - bought from @clarksshoes of course, bags and uniforms all good to go. Had to get the classic back to school photos of course - and yes I had to join in ๐Ÿ˜‚ it's a mandatory procedure."

But until you tell me how you're going to do this, I'm helping you.'"
