Rant...

I have a mild cold that makes me feel like I have been slapped in the face by a gigantic wale. Toddler is in our bed and somehow has a fever and sleeps restlessly waking every 15 minutes or so telling me 'go way' while I try to soothe her back to sleep.

So I am not overly pleased at the unannounced house guest sitting in my living room who turned up at 21:30 taking my husbands time up with god knows what when all I want is him to go to some keebab place and fetch me the most dirtist donner kebab known to man kind for me to scoff.

Life is such a bitch...

Baby Steps

After bitching for so long about 'I don't know what I want to do with my life', I have decided to take several steps in arriving at what 'I am going to do with my life'.

Starting with creating a Photo Journal/Blog type thing. I am going to take a photo every day and post it on my blog. By doing this I want to capture precious moments in my life that I would otherwise forget about and also take time out of the mush in my head to take notice of all the precious things around me.

My next step is to research into how other once career minded mums have coped with giving it all up for thier little ones.

Reading my post back to myself I realise that none of my steps are monumental but just little Baby steps. Well it's a start.

I need Space

Having not really enjoyed this pregnancy at 25 weeks pregnant I am on countdown to when I can have my body back. I would like to breastfeed again but I am filled with dread when I think of somthing constantly attached to my breast draining me of all my energy and the goodness that my body needs.

I breastfeed toddler untill she was 15.5 months old and addmitadly it was me that didn't want to stop. I was afraid at how she would react at being denied her comfort and I was afraid that our realtionship would change and she wouldn't want me anymore.
I couldn't have been more wrong. It took around 4 days for her to be weaned off and she still loved me :)

So why am I so afraid to breastfeed this time around? I know the benefits for baby and me, and of course the wonderful closeness we will experiance.

I think I miss being me pre motherhood and pre wifehood.
I miss working.
I miss having my own money.
I miss being able to do what ever I want (within reason)
I miss using my brain (organisng dinner, housework or what toddler will wear do not count)
I miss my old life.

Creative Mess?

How much of it does your toddler create?
And how much time do you spend undoing thier works of genius?

I am all for free play but somtimes, just sometimes I would like to have a adult house where the cream carpet is not covered with juice marks or dirty wet dog staines. And our bedroom floor is not spread with little plastic toys that when trodden on make me say ouch. And of course walls that are only decorated with intended colours.

Or am I just a control freek?

2010!

Yes it has been a little while hasn't it!
Ok, so up to speed:
Christmas was great without any hitches, spent Christmas morning at home opening presents and then spent the rest of the day and boxing day at my parents.
Went on a wonderful hoilday on the 1st of Jan celebrating my 30th early as I can not fly next month.

So I can be kinda excused for not keeping up with my Blogg, I'm pregnant with an almost 2 year old and had a very busy past month! As much as I love cloths shopping it was not easy finding cheap Winter Sun Maternity wear.

Oh yes, we also missed out on the big freeze while we were away! Ok no more showing off....:)
