Holly is one year old today! Where has the last year gone?! It's been the hardest but best year of my life. I really struggled at first, well for the first 7 months and just wished the time away as it was so different to how I expected, but I want to let you know that things do get better! I wish I'd known that it was normal all those months ago when I thought things would never get better.
Don't listen to people who tell you that you're spoiling your baby by holding them too much. People told me this all the time and just added to my stressing that I was doing something wrong. I held Holly constantly anyway and now she won't stay still if I try to hold her, she wants to wriggle off and play.
Cherish every moment and seriously enjoy the clinginess and cuddles while they last, as it really does go too fast. I'm so emotional today!
