Not strictly speaking baby related but definitely need some hugs and motivation to keep on Muming today.
We had to put one of our cats to sleep this morning. I've had him for 10 years but he had pancreatic cancer and was in a lot of pain.
I don't know how as my husband hasn't even gotten back from the vets yet but I swear my other cat knows somethings wrong and shortly when my baby wakes up I'm going to have to carry on as usual and I'm not sure how just yet

As a first time mum who also has two cats my heart goes out to you ❤️that’s so tough and mums are just expected to carry on like normal, give yourself some grace and let yourself feel all of the feelings x

Aww I'm sorry about your cat. I have two cats myself and I know I'd be devastated.
It's okay to be sad. I'm sure you have your cat the best life and try to hold on to the good times ❤️. You've done best by him.

Two weeks ago I found out that my childhood cat died too, she was only 9 years old. At the time little one was 16 weeks. It's rough. It didn't happen right in front of us thankfully but it's rough and I do admit that I cried as I was playing with the little one. Sending you big hugs, it will get easier but with time ❤️

We had to put my dog down when baby was a month old. We sat and cried in the car, wiped our tears and when we came home to our girl we kept smiling for her. Finished off crying when baby was asleep. It’s hard, but it gets easier. Just make sure to give yourself time to grieve when you get some alone time x

Aww I know this all too well and that's when I wasn't a mum and was hard enough then, just take your time today spend time bonding with baba and have lots of baby cwtches , stay strong mama but also know it's OK to cry . Big love ❤️

Thankyou all. It's been a hard day but weve been spoiling our other cat who's a lot younger to try and distract her she's currently trying to destroy her new toys.
Routines with the baby have gone completely out the window I should have put him to bed 2 hours ago but he's been asleep on me while I watch TV. Probably will pay for it tonight and tomorrow but tomorrow is a new day
