It's all worth it!
When bathing my 8 month old son earlier he was chewing away on one his rubber ducks (bloomin' teeth!) when he started to watch me back with a puzzled expression. He then took the duck out of his mouth and offered it to me as if to say 'do you want some mum?'. I was so amazed that someone so little could show generosity I teared up.
All those nights of getting up to feed, comfort, bum change, etc our little ones. Worrying endlessly about weaning and trying to sift through a mountain of 'advice'. Then your little one turns around and does something to amaze you. I feel like I have actually turned a corner and I can start to relax and enjoy him a bit more.
Here's to motherhood, I mean parenthood (Dad's worry too!)

I'm absolutely shattered and my back permanently hurts. I had a bit of a panic this morning when dressing Haydn as to how I was going to do this for two under the age of one but I'm sure it will be okay. I'm starting my maternity leave at the earliest time possible (4 weeks today- I can't wait!) which will help enormously. My husband works away which doesn't help, he has had 4 days at home in the last month. God bless internet shopping! My parents and sister can be here in twenty minutes when I send an SOS via text message ( I've only done this once but just knowing I can makes things easier ).
When Haydn offers me his rubber duck or wraps his hands around my face and gives me a sticky kiss (with dribbly tongue) I'm reminded that the back ache, feeling knackered and peeing myself when I sneeze will soon be over when number 2 arrives!
Haydn is currently sitting in his high chair covering his own face to play peepo with his dad - he's a charmer!
