Hello!
As some of you will know our daughters came to live with us 3 weeks ago. I have spent the last week on my own with them as DH went back to work.
I was dreading it and I will be honest the first couple of days I would have given anything to go back to work.
But today was the first day I felt in control and like a mum! Girls up, dressed, and out to nanny and grandpas and to soft play - listening to me (mostly!) and i could pretty much preempt their thoughts (of grabbing things!) and know when they need me.
What also helped was seeing some other mums with their perfect little children admiring the girls for being so adorable!!!
Me and DH have just been having a curry and can't stop speaking about how amazing they are and how happy we are as a family now! I wouldn't say I yet feel like their mummy - but I definitely feel like a mummy. If that makes sense - hoping it will to other adoptive mummies out there!???
