The best, most unexpected thing about motherhood ... How good it feels to be selfless - giving energy and unconditional love to my amazing little man is far more satisfying than thinking about my own stuff all day.
The hardest, most unexpected thing about motherhood ... I'm obsessed with planning and organising, and quickly realised that babies are somewhat more chaotic.
