Ella is 8 months today. Amazing. I have no idea where the time has gone and how she got so big. Does really go by too fast. I was thinking back to our first month with Ella and how nervous and anxious I was. I was emotional from the disappointment of having a c-section. Irritated by not being so mobile (we live in a 4 story walk up and I was very sore to walk up and down) and then just nervous about the little bundle that needed me so much.

I think only now that we experienced the first tough few weeks (they were wonderful, at least I think they were, as I can hardly remember then!) and are confident caring for our munckin, that I can read this manifesto and know it is absolutely true. Even now I love reading it. 

I wish I had known and believed this before. But then, where would the learning have been?

You can buy the Mums Manifesto from The Smile Collective.
