The First Month

This is it, 1 month today! (well, actually 4 weeks or 28 days, but close enough to a month for my likeing!). I had big plans for doing a photo montage or something like that, but I really cant be bothered. I am so tired right now, I dont know if words do it justice.…

Im sitting here with River crying in my arms.The poor girl has been so unsettled. Its so weird, sometimes she is so settled, and other times there is nothing you can do to calm her. I guess thats parenthood right?! Tomorrow will be 1 month. I cant believe how much she has grown in that…

Monday has come and gone again, and already Im looking forward to the weekend, even if I do have to work on Saturday again! Last night was tough. I dont know why really, but I was feeling alone and emotional. I couldnt sleep. I was frustrated and angry and I just didnt know why. After…

Hush little baby dont you cry.... River has been very clingy today, just not seeming to settle. She has been much better at taking the dummy now though. We managed to keep her settled for a fair part of the day so that we could clean the house a bit though thankfully, just taking turns…

We made it to the mountains! The morning was a bit tough emotionally, and we didnt get out the door till about 1pm, and didnt get there till 3-3.30, but nonetheless we got there! We basically just had (a very late) lunch there, looked at a food co op shop, looked at a new age…

Oh man I feel tired today. Not so much tired in the 'I need some sleep' sense, but more in a 'let this day be over, I cant handle anymore' sense. I had the funeral today for a friends father who died of a heart attack at 64. Not young, but certainly not old either.…

Work has been so quiet these past few days, I have been doing stupid shit because there is nothing left to do. It has allowed me to have a few revelations though, about the way I am living my life right now.  I realised that I really need to exercise more, eat right, and spend…

3 weeks old today! River was born at 8.35 pm 3 weeks ago. How much I used to take sleep for granted! I was so tired this morning and I just couldnt get up. I ended up around 20 minutes late. Kati, River and mum all went to the city today so that Kati could…

Gone are the days of old The days of a meaningless existence The days of a single soul The days of carelessness The days of technological distraction. A new life born, a tiny bundle 1 became 2, 2 became 3 Intertwined, connected Intent on healing, living, experiencing, helping A bond so strong, an...

19 days today..... I cant believe it has been nearly 3 weeks! It has been amazing to watch her grow so much just in that time, and all the little developments she has made. It was so nice to have her curled up in my arm tonight for a while, so peaceful, so quiet. She…
