You get a win... then get teary; isn't motherhood strange!

I usually put LO to sleep for every non-pram nap, at night and wake up, used to be nursing but we're gradually trying to disassociate that (with some tears!) Nap is due so I assumed it would be me trapped in a dark room for an hour of contact napping... but partner said he'd give it a go. After about 15 mins of tears I can hear LO has settled... and now I'm crying! All you want is a little freedom and then when you get it you feel upset your LO is a little less reliant on you. Isn't motherhood a trip?! Only had 4 months of it but imagine this is how I'll now feel for the rest of my life! A little shout out to all the happy-sad mothers out there!

The oddest roller coaster … I can’t wait for bedtime and freeze if I hear her fuss on the baby monitor but will then spend ages looking at photos of her!!! It’s a complete trip
