Whenever someone tells me they're expecting their first baby and they're nervous, I tell them the following: 'Oh my goodness, that's wonderful. I am so happy for you. Listen, of course you're nervous but here's the deal: you're ready for all the bad stuff. You've been very tired before. You've been in pain before. You've been worried about money before. You've felt like an incapable moron before. So you'll be fine with the difficult parts! You're already a pro. What you're NOT ready for is the wonderful parts. NOTHING can prepare you for how amazing this will be. There is no practice for that.

So much respect for anyone whose job requires shift work over Christmas. Specifically doctors, nurses, carers and healthcare staff in general. Their jobs don’t stop just because the big man in red is doing the rounds. Very thankful for my nurses over the festive period ♥️
this scene permanently altered my brain chemistry and change the trajectory of my entire life so i’d give anything to experience it again for the first time
