A female firearms PC came over in the MPSTC canteen today, baby same age, recently returned to work. She made me a ☕️ & after a 5 minute interaction, I know we both left feeling a little bit less alone because whilst being a #MumInPolicing is possible, it’s not always easy 👮🏼‍♀️🤱🏼

Another Couch to 5K run done. Looking at the next stage is 👀 but trusting it and more importantly, enjoying it.

Too much fun at Pilates today has tired out Boy 4 and I’m never going to say no to snuggles! 💜

Today marks 6 incredible weeks of loving you.
It’s very hard to get anything done now that every time our eyes meet, you give me a smile.
Despite the extreme exhaustion, my heart is completely full ❤️

My body doesn’t look amazing, but it has done something pretty incredible, making my 4 beautiful boys 💙
It has taken it’s toll though, broken it in places, so now, it’s time to put it back together again, for me 💛

Husband’s shift changed so it’s a home workout today with PT on Zoom.
A challenge with 4 kids causing chaos in the background!
Walked miles as well this week so hoping I’ll see some difference….

The best thing happened today.
I made it within a minute of Boy 2’s part when I didn’t think I’d make it at all.
I was a sweaty mess & out of breath from rushing but his smile when he saw me come through the door as he stood up to speak made it all worthwhile 💛

PT worked me hard this morning, but I think I might be feeling some changes now. Trying not to be too hard on myself. I know I’ll get there.

Now Boy 4 is in nursery, I am in a position where I am now upping my hours from 83% to 95% which is a massive thing.

If you know, you know.

Boy 1 & 2 sorted and on way to school, Boy 3 watching Blippi & Boy 4 whizzing around in his walker.

Day 2 of my Wales Perinatal Mental Health Network training starting in a bit.

But first, a quick (now luke warm) cuppa and some promotion prep.

I was having a chat with my Super today about various different things like tough jobs, childcare, new jobs, shifts and flexible working when he said:

“It does get easier, Jen. I promise, it really does”

And you know what, today, that’s all I needed to hear.
