Motherhood

three years ago today…

It was a rainy but warm day. The rain actually helped calm my nerves because as the moment moved closer i realized nothing could prepare me for that dreaded walk down the aisle. I’ve always been one to avoid too much attention and religion has never been ‘my thing’ so nothing but the man standing at the end of that long path could make it worthwhile.My wedding day was nothing like I had envisioned. As much as I tried to relax and enjoy myself, the people, the fuss and the ‘traditions’, i felt, got in my way. To be honest, I could’ve done without the whole hoohah but some things are meant to be done a certain way and throwing a big party for all your friends and family is actually really fun! the next morning, it hit me. I was married… And it didn’t scare me anymore. In fact it made me so damn proud. i was excited! i had spent seven beautiful and intense years with this man and now couldn’t wait to see what the future had in store. three years later, my marriage is like a cocoon. it’s warm, cosy and safe. there’s a special bond behind the arguing, the disagreements and the hard times life throws at us. It’s weird. It’s love. And I like it.

my daddy’s a race car driver!!!

We were all pretty damn proud of papa today. He drove his super fast car for the first time in a very long time across the Acnha Speedway track. Bravo papa! It takes ALOT of time and effort to do what he has done together with a very impressive team. I admire his dedication.x

almost one year old and walking!

Georgie has been walking on and off for just over two weeks but over the weekend I noticed that the crawling has almost completely disappeared – aside from the super fast crawling he does when    i pretend I’m running after him. It’s such a bizarre feeling seeing him walking around belly out arms up. It makes me realize how time has passed and my little skinny monkey has grown into a beautiful   healthy boy whose hand i adore holding while he begins to explore.

did I make my baby cry?

Of course I didn’t mean to but I felt my limits being pushed. And pushed. And then pushed some more. His good sleeping habits seem to come and go which means I’ve dragged my tired body out of bed in the wee hours of the morning more times than I care to remember over the past few days.

You could say I’m used to it and therefore I shouldn’t be bothered but the problem is that napping times have gone out of the window too. The day before yesterday he slept for a grand total of half an hour ALL DAY! And he’d been up since six in the morning! When he decided to do the same today I snapped. And raised my voice. Slightly. OK a lot. The look on his face was of pure and utter shock. It took him a good five seconds to realize what was going on and then he cried. And cried. And cried. And wouldn’t stop.
