I had no idea what I was thinking about the
next blog post 9 months ago, when I wrote my last post just before going to
hospital to give birth to our little bundle of joy Paul Theodore (Theodoreable,
as Debbie a wonderful TA from Cardiff called him over the summer). He is 9kg
now, crawls, stands and walks as far as he can find furniture to hold on to in
the flat, but I certainly did not think it would take me 9 months to write my
next post. I did indeed try at least a few times hoping by every month that I
could start very soon. I have the proof on my laptop which broke down a couple
of months ago and on this of my wonderful husband’s. I was just going to write
this one does not have English spelling, but I had a quick thought of checking
it and of course it has. That says it all about me and IT :-)
Looking after a little one does wipe out
many levels of logical thinking from mummy’s brain when it comes to anything
else but feeding, nappy changing and all the general tasks around a baby. (I
must collect all my ‘Intended-to-be-posted’ Writings at some point. It is going
to be interesting to read them. Most of the times though I only got to switch
on the laptop, but did not do any writing as Paul Theodore needed me :-)
I love being a mum!!! I have never thought
it was going to be such a joyful task. I do feel this journey is the beginning
of Chapter 2 in
my life. All that was before seems so far away by now. At the moment I feel
that I don’t want to change the world any more, I just would like to be a good
mum and a wife and I think this is the right thing to do at this time of my
life.
I remember being told that the first 6
weeks is going to be tough, but to be honest the first 3 months sounds closer
to reality. And now that Baby PT (as Kerst our Dear Friend calls him) eats
solids it is a completely different ballgame. It is a lot easier the days don’t
seem any more one long feed and we have lots of fun as we have laid down the
foundations of our parents and baby communication already (tightly closed lips
if no more food wanted for example and cheeky looks when trying to grab
something that is forbidden, like TV, standing lamp and sockets).
There is so much to write about, things we
have been doing and future plans and I can only hope that tomorrow early in the
morning, while everybody else if going to be sleeping here I will be able to
get up again and write about the secret life of Vondores, because there is one
indeed…
