So on the 26th June Nate turned one. It was a quiet affair with lots of family and food!
Surprisingly I didn't cry once. I did all that on the 25th. I woke and cried for hours with no control over it at all. We went for a day trip to the farm and had a lovely time, it took my mind off things. When we got home and it got to 5.30, the time my waters broke, all the feelings and memories came back... But then 2 friends turned up and set about decorating my living room with banners and balloons and like a switch, i was fine and became excited about nates birthday.
Birthday morning I was filled with pride at how well my son had done, and what he'd coped with in his first year. His sister opened his gifts and nate enjoyed being the center of attention all day. Eventually conking out quite early.
After everyone had gone myself and the husband celebrated with a glass or 2 of the fizzy stuff.
So not an emotional wreck after all! ( though the run up was a bit dodgy, thankyou lovely friends and family for your help and support!)
Happy Birthday Nate :) As you say birthdays are a time when you remember births, just wondering is his birth story on here somewhere? I'm really interested now as Smiley was born after my waters went at 24 weeks xx
