September 19th 2011 was the day that my life changed forever and ever.
I knew it was coming and I thought I had prepared myself as best I could. Even though everybody tells you how your life will be turned upside down nothing could have prepared me for what my life would become from that moment on.
Lola Isabella Seager came into our world at 9.05am on that wonderful September morning after what felt like an eternity of waiting...and pushing!
The most beautiful, crumpled little mole-like angel, so tiny yet capable of rendering us dumbfounded with the overwhelming emotion and love that washed over us the moment those tiny (yet very loud) lungs filled the room with her perfect wail!
The realisation of the responsibility that now lay before us was immense, but tempered in that instant by our fascination with our gorgeous Lola bear! There really had been a baby in there after all! It's only once they arrive that you can finally believe it's true!
Sometimes I feel like I have been in a washing machine on spin cycle since that day. To say it has been a roller-coaster ride is to put it very mildly, but I don't think I would have had it any other way. I have learnt so much in the past 7 months, which in a lifetime is merely a blink of an eye.
I wanted to write a blog for clarity, to help work through the hard times and celebrate the great, to be a record of all that we experience as a family from this point on and also just to be a sounding board for my general ramblings...of which I'm sure there will be many xxx
