  • Guess who had her baby 5 weeks early!
    Violet May Brewer was born on 17th March
    (the day before my birthday)
    at 13.05, weighing 5lb 4oz.

    Of course, we were having a mini-break at the time,
    we were 250 miles from home, visiting ‘in-laws’.
    My waters broke all over the floor of someone’s house
    who I’ve only met twice before.
    16 hours later I had a baby girl placed on my belly.
    Ten days later we were discharged from special care and the hospital.
    The next day we drove back home.

    The car broke down on the motorway on the way back.
    So a 5 hour journey took 13 hours.
    Violet was not impressed.
    The car is knackered.
    This is the first day in about a week I haven’t cried.
    I’ve never been so hormonal in my life.

    It’s fucking beautiful.
