Starting daycare checklist

Happy New Year!It’s been a while! Today was Miss L’s first day at daycare. People keep asking me how I feel about it, if I feel anxious or sad. Not really?

Things no one told me

This week I celebrated a little milestone of finally fitting into my favourite jeans again. It’s still tight, but it’s an achievement that I am very happy about. I had been told to be patient to get my body back postpartum. It did take nine whole months to grow the baby, after all. I was still horrified the first time I tried and...

It was great to be on holiday outside of town, exploring another region with our family. The Airbnb was in the middle of an olive grove, and each night we had a sky full of twinkling stars as I nursed the baby to sleep.

Baby thoughts

I turned two months yesterday! It was Papa’s birthday last week so I slept 7-8 hours at a stretch for three nights straight as my present to him. My parents were disappointed when this didn’t continue into the week. They are for special occasions! I will reconsider though, because I do love them.  We went to visit Mum’s workmates on Monday. We took...
