has it really been that long??

Gosh how time has flown by! I swear i fully intended to keep up with my blogging during the crucial first weeks of mummy-hood but honestly i was too darn tired by the time i had time to myself to even focus on writing more than a comment or two on facebook! 


Well my gorgeous baby girl is 11 weeks old! The past 11 weeks have been simply amazing, utterly exhausting, terribly trying but everything i expected motherhood to be like. I spent the first month feeling like she wasn't my own baby and he mum would come at any time to want her back. I felt like this beautiful creature was on loan and not mine to keep. After spending so much time dreaming and thinking about being a mum and what my kids would look like, then finally falling pregnant and it becoming a reality, it took me a while to fully come to terms with the fact that i had made her and brought her into this world. I was her mum and she was my daughter. Dont get me wrong i was totally in love, it just all felt so surreal!


She's an absolute gem! We've had our ups and downs but i think im pretty lucky with her. She really is a great baby. She has recently been diagnosed with 'silent reflux' so the last few weeks have been a bit hard for her and i but we're managing to get there and despite being miserable she still manages to crack smiles and giggles at me. We started a new round of medication last week which thankfully seems to be working! My happy little miss is starting to come back. We're still not all the way there though and im sure its going to take some time and possibly a small medication adjustment to get my girl back but its a start and much better than it was before!

Im going away for east to visit some family in WA. My dad and grandparents and younger siblings all live over there and everyone is dying to meet Harlow. My little sister is going to drive down with me to my Dad's place in Denmark, which will be nice as we've never really spent much time together. (she's my half sister and 13 years younger than me). I'm a little nervous about flying with her alone and then the long drive down south but hopefully she behaves herself and we'll be right! yikes!


Anyway if i don't get a chance to post while i'm away i'll definitely pick it up when i'm back!


Happy Easter
