So many things have changed since last visiting. We are now a family, no dog, but a new baby girl and a grand van for adventures. Its been an inside out 6 weeks and only just feel like the baby fog is lifting. There are no certainties with a newborn, and Ive found that time really doesnt matter at all, let alone the day of the week. It is unrelentless, but so to is the love that we are feeling for her.
I have lost so many hours just staring at her and cooing in a kinda odd way. I fret when she cries and hate to see her distressed. Thats only happened once when I ate chilli squash soup and her poor belly blew up like a balloon. Needless to say, 3 power poo explosions and 4hrs later all was back to normal.
We spend our days walking the streets of the inner North, scoping the library and checking for bargains at any one of the 3 IGA supermarkets in this area. If one has the time, there are treats to be found everywhere – even just the discovery of new parks and getting her nude in public areas. Cloth nappies are going well, and work even better when you read the directions on how to fold them.
In 6 weeks, she has been to a wedding, a funeral, Sydney, done a days work, made Anzacs and a cake, put on a kg and attended paint n play. In all, an awesome start to an adventurous life.
