Needles

So my little man Fox is 7 weeks this wednesday which meant he was due for his needles..
So off I go to the hall to line up with all the other parents. Ratio of mums to dads was about 5 to 1. If it was a night session I would have made Matt come along as well.

As I sit and wait for our number to be called, I quietly observe all the other parents. This is a great catchup opportunity for most. I'm not sure if anyone else felt like me, but I was upset. Immunisation is all for a great cause but I really dislike having to cause my new baby boy pain..

A 3 year old toddler begins crying. I have a let down.. I feel really sad and want to comfort the child- the parent is of course but I still feel for him. Fox has no idea of course what is about to happen,.
Finally its our turn. A needle in each leg. He screams. I shush him and talk to him and kiss his head I cant wait to sit down and comfort feed him. Within minutes he is happily content and feeding.

That wasnt so hard was it? Nope all over and done with. Till the next lot of needles..

We put the baby gate back on Memphis's bedroom door. Only 2 wake ups last night from him- none from Fox. I hope he learns really soon not to keep getting out of his bed.

So last week I exercised every weekday. Saturday morning I woke up feeling a tad miserable- like i had a cold so decided to rest from exercise. I spent the first half of the day not resting but cleaning my house. I did jobs i havent touched in ages- like cleaning the legs on my bar stools (they needed some serious attention, not to mention polish) I also cleaned the rangehood above my stove.
It felt great, like I was getting back in control of our household.. I just wish I had more storage. I like to have a place for everything and everything in its place.

Today marks the 3rd last monday of the shop. I'm not sad yet. I only have to look at Fox and I'm happy again. Well sometimes looking at him gets me teary too cause I just feel so consumed with love for him.. Does that sound corny? Too bad. I hope every mum feels like this with their baby- It's Awesome!

Welcome!

Hello There! Yes you!
I am no expert, I'm a mum just like you doing her best to raise 2 active boys while maintaining a home, a part time job and running a business (all with the help of my wonderful & very patient husband)

This blog isn't about trying to sell you stuff
(though at times I just cant help but tell you about goodies I use at home myself) It's about my life, my challenges with both family life and business and how I attempt to make it all work!

I look forward to you sharing the journey- and would love you to share your journey along the way too! I hope to also share with you helpful blogs and businesses that I've found and love!
