@__MarieTherese_ My boys say "she's crying Mummy, she wants you to feed her" and sometimes try to move me to her themselves 😄

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@__MarieTherese_ I aspire to this so much 😭🤍

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@E_IS_Ferguson @__MarieTherese_ I agree, I think people really struggle to believe that other people's circumstances differ. With our first, I was still in uni and my husband worked afternoons, so it was largely whoever woke first. Two and three were just me but he'd see to the toddlers if they woke him

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@lefebvrists Thank you 😊 They're wonderful and it's so precious watching them interacting a bit more as they grow. It's been intense though aha and my only mum friends are my own mum and mother-in-law who lives in another region

3 year old son: "Mummy, why do you not wear a bib?"
"Because I'm turning ¼ century old soon, sweetpea"
"And then you will die?"
Oh 💀

@moej4prez This is so validating

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@__MarieTherese_ Very relatable! My husband and I had a glass of wine with my mother-in-law at the weekend and we both woke up with headaches!

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@ServusDeiVivi My third was sunny side up without intervention, I pray it's the same for your cousin🙏

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@jessgill03 Literally. I became a first time mum at 20, my husband's colleagues' first response was always to ask if we were keeping "it" and the Boomer health visitors were always keen to point out that I had no idea what I was letting myself in for 🤷‍♀️

@Ckmmrreb Thank you! 😊🙏

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

In your charity, please may you spare a prayer for my unborn baby - I am experiencing pain and blood loss but we cannot have a scan for a couple of days 🤍

Happy St. George's Day 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@mrsdobbins_ @LauraLoomer Why do they always assume we love to be the centre of negative attention? 🫠

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@omnialnchristo This is so true! We were on our own for our first baby who was combination fed because we couldn't find support but we moved before our second was born, my mum helped me learn and I managed to continue it for a year

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@ofmiIkandhoneyy Same, my husband was given three course meals twice a day for the two days we were in 😄

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@ofmiIkandhoneyy I'm so glad everything went well, congratulations!! 🤗

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@__MarieTherese_ We have those and the toddlers love closing them properly every time that we do not 😆

@catholic_anglo "Wholesome" 💪

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@omnialnchristo Congratulations, Elena! 🤗🤍

[Anna of Albion @gratialuxque]

@__MarieTherese_ @catholic_anglo I went private in the end too, the dentist spent - genuinely - three minutes looking at my teeth and said "the bleeding and wobbling will stop after the baby is born" which was still months away so £50 well spent!
