A year ago today I became a mother of 2 .
Our gang of 3 became 4.
Those first few weeks passed in a blur and before we know it life as a family of 3 was a distant memory as Baby Essex fitted perfectly into our already perfect lives.
It would be impossible to put into words all the joy my baby girl has bought me over the past 12 months. She means the world to me and more. Her relationship with her daddy melts my heart, and the bond she shares with her big sister is one that could never be broken.
Sometimes I had to stop and pinch myself that this really is my life, I will never stop being grateful for how lucky I am.
So on this momentous day, the day I am no longer a mother of a baby (and probably never will be again), I am wishing my gentle, funny, heart stopping beautiful baby girl a first birthday to never forget.
I love you to the moon and back little legs xxx
