This week we are celebrating Naomi's first birthday and Leonore ending a year of maternity leave!! It has been an amazing year being home with Naomi and I seriously have total respect and understanding for stay at home mums! Its a very fulfilling place to be and I have loved every minute....seriously! I can particularly recommend the many coffee's at Starbucks, lunches at the local deli with my friends, walks in the park, shopping trips and visiting family...and some girlie nights out! It really has felt like a long holiday but lets not underestimate the full-time care for a baby! I think Chris has come to appreciate that over time. At the centre of all my social activities this year has been other mums I got to know and love hanging out with. Being bonded together by motherhood, sharing its ups and downs (though mainly ups for me) Life never being the same again, but even better!
And now back in the midwife role, leaving the care of Naomi in the very capable hands of Petra, our dutch friend. A new chapter and looking forward to it!
