Well, I mean you know that you're going to love your child and everybody says, like you have no idea how much you love this child until you see it.
Picture this: Catherine and her British husband had long agreed that children weren't in their future. But life threw them a curveball with a pregnancy scare, sparking a deep and honest conversation that led them to change their minds. Now, they're navigating the rollercoaster of raising their one-year-old son, Jack, while juggling life on both sides of the Atlantic.
In this episode of 'Birds In A Tree', Catherine opens up about the initial apprehensions her husband had during her pregnancy and how his perspective transformed the moment Jack was born. It's a touching story of how love can blossom in unexpected ways. Catherine also dives into the nitty-gritty of international parenting, from managing finances and cultural differences to the anxieties of flying with a baby.
She shares candidly about breastfeeding challenges and the emotional highs and lows that come with raising a child far from extended family. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that, despite the hurdles, the journey of parenthood can be filled with joy and profound connection. Whether you're an international parent or just curious about the unique dynamics of cross-cultural families, Catherine's story offers a blend of humor, honesty, and hope.
