Memories to treasure forever.  I’d love to introduce you to William Samuel Jordan, born on 3rd December at 3.20pm, weighing 7lbs 5oz. Billy we just adore you so much. I didn’t think I had anymore love in me but it’s just doubled!! You are perfect. I literally posted my last blog here (if you’d like a read) just hours before I went into labour and now we’re are a four. I’m so unbelievably lucky to have 2 beautiful boys.

So here is William. I’m not going to lie. It;s been a task getting these pics between the knackering days and looking after a 2 year old too but hopefully I got a few good ones! We do refer to him as Billy too but just love the name William, so I just interchange when I feel like it. It’s been a hectic few weeks adjusting to four. Louis has been great although at first we wondered what the hell we’d done. He was such a monkey. He really does just love him to bits though, always wanting to kiss and cuddle him. Just sometimes a little too much, ha ha.

For some reason at the beginning of Louis’ life I didn’t pick up my BIG camera at all, hence why I started my project 52 when he was 6 months (better late than never), but I regretted it massively so I’m not missing a moment with Billy and capturing the two of them together. Ok yes it’s hard work to get Louis to do as we ask but eventually we get ‘the’ picture. That’s my job at the end of the day! I actually quite like the ones where he’s naughty anyway. One of my favourites is below and a message to Billy.

I just love these pics. The above just sums up my life at the moment. Crazy crazy. Ok yes there are days when I think, ‘jeeze how am I going to get through today on zero sleep’ and Louis getting up the wrong side of the bed but we do it and before I know it the day has gone, so I just want to treasure everyday whatever challenges are thrown at us.

“Billy, when you came into the world the amount of love I had just doubled. I didn’t think it was possible, but it is. You are gorgeous in your own Billy way and you’re daddy and I will be here to hopefully teach you, protect you but give you enough freedom to explore for yourself (but not too much, ha). You’ll have your big brother to guide you too and learn from and hopefully look up to if he’s good!. I just can’t wait to watch you grow and become your own little person. You’ll never truly know how much your daddy and I love you but believe me it’s definitely to the moon and back at least 100 times!!”

From my previous post I was so nervous about the affect it would have on mine and Louis’ relationship and I can only talk from the last few weeks Billy has been around, but it hasn’t changed a bit yet. Louis is still his quirky self and making every day such fun. He joins in and wants to be involved at all times with Billy. Sometimes he gets a little jealous but I just make sure I give him extra special cuddles when I can and Billy just has to fit in. Sorry Billy. I’m sure time will tell and the dynamics will change but for now I’m just going to enjoy this time and not wish any of it away.

I’m one lucky lady to have these 3 amazing boys in my life. Thanks Will for being an amazing husband and incredible father, I couldn’t have done it without you. Looking forward to this next chapter and creating memories to treasure forever. Feel free to read or not read but I love documenting this as I will always have it forever! These are memories to treasure forever.  And it makes me do it too as time goes so quickly. I think I will abandon a project 52 for now so just look out for my life lately updates!

Anyway enough of the soppiness, but I just can’t help it!!

Love to all
