I\u2019d been out of hospital (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prettygreentea.com\/2019\/09\/my-birth-story-emergency-c-section-with-ga\">my birth story<\/a>)<\/em> over a week and was very much in the middle of that delightful newborn bubble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was happy, content and investing my time and energy into learning how to feed my tiny little baby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bliss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly it was Mother&#8217;s Day. My family don&#8217;t live close by but luckily my mum and sister were visiting us that weekend. I had to take things slow and life with X was still very new but we had such a nice time together. My mum does so much for my sister and I so it was lovely to spend time together on such a special day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phil arrived home that evening and handed me a card from X. It was then that it finally hit me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m a mum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A mum to a beautiful little boy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/gp\/daisyhatami\/9WP294\" title=\"Flowers for Mother's Day\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49129679141_f02ce69907_b.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Flowers for Mother's Day\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>That evening I took a step back from everything and realised what a miracle our bodies truly are. It had all been <em>go<\/em> since the moment X was born. I had a tiring few days in hospital, I didn&#8217;t even bother trying to sleep after the first night and when we finally got home it was all about learning to feed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I felt so lucky to have my nearest and dearest around me as well as a tiny new addition to our family. It&#8217;s funny, but even at that point it felt like X had always been a part of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/gp\/daisyhatami\/9Nv8wX\" title=\"Mother's Day Flowers\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49129862372_e88a4a43b7_b.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Mother's Day Flowers\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at Marks &amp; Spencer in Sheffield sent the beautiful tulips in the photos to me &#8211; <em>thank you<\/em>.
