Life changes when a baby arrives
You may have noticed that the baby widget is gone, because my little baby is now out in the big wide world & he’s already passed the one month mark - time flies.
So, it’s been a little while since I’ve written anything on here.
It took me a week after Daniel was born before I even opened up my computer to check my emails - I just had no desire to know what was happening in my cyber world - very strange considering before Daniel, checking my email was close to the first thing I did every morning.
Over the last month I’ve learnt how to type short emails with one hand while I’m feeding my baby - as for longer emails or writing on my blog, that’s been a little out of my reach. Even now, Warren is asleep on the couch with baby Daniel & it was a toss up for me between going to bed myself, or finally getting back in to writing. Over the last month I’ve been successful only on about 3 occasions to actually get a little solitary sleep time - usually as soon as I lie down, Daniel would wake up ready for his next feed.
I’m learning flexibility although it is a little frustrating when I do try to follow the common advice of sleeping when the baby sleeps. I tried it 3 times today - I’d feed him, he’d fall asleep in my arms, I’d gently lie down on the sofa with him in the crook of my arm (I have a big sofa) & five minutes later he is fussing and awake - as I said, I’m learning flexibility. I wish I could have some way of knowing which of his sleeps are going to be long (2-4 hours) and which ones will be short (don’t even bother trying to lie down and sleep as well).
Now that I’m back into the writing, I think this blog is going to change direction a little, now that my gorgeous little boy is my main focus. I think the title “Sunshine, Natural Immunity and Real Food” will still fit, but it will be in the context of mums and babies and their health - something I’ve been passionate about, but didn’t quite feel like it was time for me to speak too much about it. Well that has changed now & I’ll be sharing my opinions a little more strongly from here on.
