Georgie Crawford discusses becoming a family of four and her big 2024 plans with VIP Magazine. How fab are they?
You may find this hard to believe with all the pimping and preening and posturing that goes on a VIP photoshoot. But, days like today can be deeply moving. Allowing someone to strip you back, both physically and figuratively, requires a relinquishing of control. The subject relinquishing control today is the matriarch of this happy family.
And now today, here we are making ourselves coffee in her Kilternan home; doing glam in her bedroom where she found that breast lump; standing by her side in the nursery watching her wriggly 5-month-old gurgling; seeing herSo, when the tears do spring forth later as she smiles to the camera – a perfect little daughter in each arm, we well up too. Days like this are priceless.We are thriving. It’s still so surreal…I’m overwhelmed with love and gratitude.
It wasn’t a conscious decision but it has been such a private journey. I’m back with The Good Glow podcast just in the last few weeks and so this feels like the end of my maternity leave. In fact, this week feels like a back to work week for me! I have loved keeping her to ourselves for the last five months. But I feel almost selfish because so many people have helped me on my journey. We are ready to come out of our cocoon – a bit!Well, thank you for inviting us into your cocoon today.
Maybe this more relaxed version of me is just second-child syndrome? It’s so hard to know because none of my early parenting experiences have been straightforward. Maybe I was the way I was with Pia because she was my first? Or maybe it was because I had cancer? With Tahlie, is it because she’s a second child or because she came into the world via surrogacy? It really is hard to know but I do think I trust the universe a lot more now. I’m not as protective of Tahlie.
I kept saying I didn’t look like myself. I kept saying, ‘I’m such a weird colour’. Another friend of mine who had breast cancer said she had the same thoughts in the lead up to her diagnosis, that she was a weird colour. My nails were also breaking half way down, I couldn’t get my hair properly clean. I think it’s important if you’re getting those whispers that something isn’t right, to get checked. Because I was so lucky where my lump was that I found it.
