Adjusting to life with a newborn is daunting. There's this tiny little human, solely dependent upon you. I was so lucky that my partner, Liam, was able to get four weeks off. That way we could spend a whole month together in a little family bubble. It definitely made it less of a challenge, it's only now that he's gone back to work that I realise what a help an extra pair of hand are. Case in point: I'm currently typing with a sleepy (but not sleepy enough to fall asleep - sigh) 8 week old on my lap! 

Planning days out, meeting up with friends and family and enjoying all of the time we could spend together with Edie was the perfect way to spend her first few weeks in the world.
