Where has the time gone

 Just a short post today, Life has been busy! 

We are now 7 months old! Where has the time gone! We have 2 sets of teeth, we roll and spin around to get into everything, we have started eating real food and I don't think it will be long before we have a crawler! 

The reality of him growing older too quick isn't just in how fast it has gone in a blink of and eye but also how little time I have left before I have to return to work and I won't get my long lay ins with him, my fun days out and being able to enjoy my time with him rather than cram it all in during an evening. 


Saying that the last seven months hasn't been smooth sailing, babies are hard! You get over one thing and BAM another swings in and smacks you in the gut. Constant feeds, sleep regression, teething, rolling, sitting (sort of), weaning, crawling the list never ends! Each one a challenge and a reward in its own right! 

As for me? we I'm running sort of, Halloween week has been a busy one so running can wait till next week, Swimming has become regular, and I'm sort of getting me time, I say sort of because even when I'm not in charge of little man I can't switch off, I have to be doing something and I can't rest, I can't seem to find my power down switch. 

I'm more anxious, things put me on edge more, I'm getting more frustrated and things bug me so much quicker, I also seem more sensitive to loud sounds but not all the time, it seems to coincide with big emotions. 




BUT all that said, seeing his little smile as he recognises me, hearing his chuckle at the smallest of things, being able to wake up and cuddle him and watching him fall asleep safe in my arms is the best feeling in the world and I wouldn't change it for anything. 

So I suppose wrap it up to say I'm still here, just in the thick of mother hood, send coffee and good vibes for the nights of sleep regression and be patient for future posts, they may be more sporadic, but here is a Halloween photo to share some love and wish you all a Happy Halloween! 


Thanks for reading

Where did my baby go?

(contains amazon associates link)  Hey guys, it's been a while!  My last post was a little before my return to work, were are now half way through  2025!  So where are we? Well little man isn't so little, at 16 months he is in full blown toddler hood, we walk, run, climb, scream, babble, and have super sass (gets that from me), we get frustrated at not being able to do things but want to be into doing everything! He has been at nursery for about 7 months now and has fully settled in found his confidence and loves every day! We have had our fair share of illnesses, accidents and art work and we are currently preparing for the transition to the next room.  As for me, I've settled into being a Mama and a Teacher, I've reflected on my life and started making adjustments, I have also had my fair share of illnesses (though not as many as the boy) and I'm surviving, not quite thriving, but getting closer to the threshold.  What have we been up to? Lately? trying t...

Merry Christmas and here's to 2024

 As 2023 comes to an end and the Festivities have been in full swing, I want to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.  This year has been filled with mini adventures, the challenges of pregnancy, the journey of navigating a new job role and fitting in general health and well being as well. As for 2024 well that is a whole new adventure!  In my older years i have never really been one for new years resolutions but i do like the idea of making commitments and agreements with myself, and each year they are usually just things that i want to continue working on to continue to support and improve myself, so rather than giving up chocolate or hitting the gym every day I usually focus on things like, lets make sure i focus on my sleep routine, take on more adventures and make sure i move a little daily.  These are normally my big three, there are may things I want to work on and goals come and go, things change and plans get adjusted, fo...

Lets start a new adventure.

 This is only the second time I have had to face him crying as I left him. The first made sense, he was overtired and hadn't napped. This one was a different cry, this was a protest because he knew I was going to walk out the door and not be there. This one hurt me. I do however have the benefit of seeing it from both sides, there is a skill to dropping your child off at nursery the first few times, you have to remain calm, confident, make it quick.  If you linger too long, look nervous or get upset they pick up on it. Quick drop offs help everyone, parents don't linger and get upset as long, babies are easier to settle and nursery workers get more time bonding.  Seeing the sadness hurts though, the cry is different, it hits heart strings you never knew you owned, and you hold back the tears till you're out of view. I cried all the way into town and then some more whilst I ate fried egg on toast.  Deep down I know he's fine, I know he will settle and get distracted a...
