But it scared me to think all those things happened 16 years ago. Feels like only yesterday.

It probably was our lack of experience that saw us head to the hospital – although those babies can be very convincing in their hysterical crying!

The poor eldest really does have to pave the way.

I think my mum would argue that now we are living in the same town again she is no longer obsolete, as she drives grandchildren around!

Hmmmmm. Never thought of it that way, but yes ( and no). To make them self sufficient and ourselves, what? Less needed? I hope not. I’ll watch you fly, but you always have a place to land. 😉
Hippie Child is beautiful.

My pain threshold is apparently much higher than yours but I still went the epidural, a sanity saver. I love your thought that the first child is a crash test dummy, so SO true!

Do you think it was just because we were first time mums who didn’t know what we were doing!!? Love the perspective that your role is to make yourself obsolete. A lot of mums need reminding of that, me included 🙂 Happy 16th to both of you. xx
