There’s a big gap in the photos I share of my twins in NICU and now. The ones I rarely share are pictures of my girls before they turned one.
This is because it was period of time where I was at my saddest, when they were babies.
Although I have written all about it in my book, I still struggle looking back at images of them. Also, seeing myself in these photos reminds me of how low I felt
.
I was not happy in this video, it was an extremely difficult time and I barely wanted any photos taken of myself with the girls for others to see
.
Throughout my recovery I continue to learn how to blend my pregnancy, time in NICU, and the first 12-18 months at home. Looking at old photos is (slowly) helping me deal with the trauma, rather than suppress what might catch up with me later
.
Today, I look forward to sharing more baby photos of Adrian and Evie, even if I have a knot in my stomach as I do 🤷🏻♀️😊 I feel like I missed out on that special time of sharing myself as a new mum. But it’s never too late
