[…] back to when I was pregnant, way back in the swirly mists of time, I wrote a post on things I’d completely forgotten about newborns, about, well, that really. I was worried that I couldn’t and wouldn’t remember anything […]

Actually, to throw a spanner in the works, I found 2nd time around a lot harder… mainly because I had a difficult birth and refluxy baby!! But honestly it all does come back to you fairly easily and although I am now expecting baby number 4 I understand your worries because I too am wondering how on earth I will be able to look after a newborn. Its so lovely when natural instincts kick in 🙂

As a first-timer I’m envious that you all this past experience! Just reading the list of equipment and terms makes me start to panic … am going to be asking my experienced Mummy friends what to do every 2 seconds!

I'm allowed to live in denial about eventually having a newborn right? I mean it isn't here yet so I don't have to worry about it...right? ☼Transatlantic Blonde☼

YES! The new baby smell – the most amazing smell ever. I must admit, I’m also a bit scared about venturing down the no sleep path again. But I figure I did it before and survived, so I can do it again. For me, the thing I’m most scared about (above all else!) is the school run. I know, ridiculous right? But I remember how long it took to get out of the house when F was a newborn, and I know how long it takes to persuade her to get dressed now. No idea how I’ll get them both up, dressed and fed in time for 8.30am every day. Help!

All of my second time round mama friends have said that it’s a breeze although the thought of it does freak me out. More about when they cry and you can’t appease with them with treats 😉 x

It’s definitely easier the second time round – I promise it all comes flooding back and you just feel more confident in what you’re doing because it’s not all so very new; you’re going to be fine!

it’s funny isn’t it, friends with younger babies often ask me ‘did Wild do this’ or ‘you know when’ and I realise I can’t remember most of the time. It’s such a blur! I’m really excited for you and it’s so close now! xx

Oh God the temperature control and layers thing! I was rubbish at that. G was pretty much always too hot or too cold and I remember panicking that other mums were giving me judgey glares over it!! Argh.
