Drink: strong tea with just a little milk
Soundtrack: grey’s anatomy

We’re approaching what would have been baby #1’s first birthday ish. It has been on my mind quite a lot. Hearing people talk about the first birthday party they are organising is hard, every time I have been thinking ‘that should have been us’. But last night I realised that my language was all off, how it is now – that is how it was meant to be for us. What other people have, it is how it could have been but it isn’t. The glimpse of parenthood that baby gave us has enabled us to be the parents we are, we cherish our little man in a way I don’t think would have been possible if it had been any other way. There is a lot to be grateful for in a weird sort of way.
