Yikes

…I actually have a moment to BLOG. And I have no idea what to say.
Life has been hectic in the extreme since the arrival of our precious Jai.

Going from 1 to 2 seems much harder than 0 to 1! I think it’s because of the nature of the parent I want to be and strive to be. I hate the feeling that I have to choose between the boys and their needs at any given time. I also seem to reflect a lot on how much baby-gazing I did with Kaden and how I was so aware of his developmental stage and attending to that, as well as putting time and energy into his sleeping etc. Jai just gets bundled a long with whatever is happening – I guess that is a normal state really. But it is different for me and takes some getting used to.

Not to mention the sickness that has swept our household. Dave got it first (lets blame him :) ) and was sick sick SICK for ages, then Kaden (whilst on holidays) and then Jai – complete with bronchialitis and two ear infections, poor kid.

Now I have what I thought was a cold but have come down with a temp for the last two days so I’m suitably unimpressed!

Anyhow that all sounds a bit whingy but I guess it goes with the nature of illness! Other than that, we are bumbling along in beautiful Autumn quite well and I’m looking forward to my first mothers day as a mother of two beautiful boys :) Thinking back to a few years ago when we weren’t sure we’d ever be able to be parents, I have to say…I am one very lucky mum.

  1. BIG HUGS! I here ya, I here ya, I here ya!! Yes, being ‘that’ sort of parent does come at a cost to your sanity at times!IT means you are so ever conscious of wanting to be so much more to your precious ones. They have you, they have so much more than what many children have… and they will grow with a sibling which is a most precious gift! (you would agree wouldn’t you?!! he,he!)
