Hey there, sweet baby boy! It’s been a whirlwind month in our little family with the arrival of baby Stellan. Born on 29.08.23, weighing a healthy 7lb12, he’s thriving! He’s brought so much joy and completeness to our family; I feel incredibly lucky to have this precious boy with us. He’s now 9 weeks old, and I’ve finally found my rhythm and routine, which is why I’m introducing him here now. Those first weeks were a blur of baby care, feeding, sleepless nights, and endless laundry, but we’re managing. My previous birth experience was tough, so I was anxious this time, but a planned c-section made it better, though not perfect. Now, four weeks postpartum, I’m almost feeling like myself again. Having a second baby is easier in some ways, but I’m still learning and adapting to the changes in baby care practices and products. Despite the challenges of night feeds and juggling two kids, we’re cherishing these early days and all the new experiences. Being a mum in my 40s, this pregnancy was mentally challenging, with feelings of loneliness and worry. It’s different when your friends are in different life stages. I’m considering joining baby classes to meet new moms and combat the isolation. As a self-employed mom, I’ll ease back into work gradually, prioritizing these precious newborn moments. This being my last baby, I’m realizing how quickly they grow up, and I want to savor every moment. Stay tuned for more updates on the blog; I have lots to share but am taking it slow for now. I’ve missed this space and will be back soon. Take care, and see you around! x
