6 weeks out

Posted on July 1st, 2009 by Tracey

tomorrow marks 6 weeks since Jovie’s arrival, and i’m happy to report that all is well with Jovie and myself 🙂

me – i’m surprised at how well i’ve “recovered” this time around. pretty much straight away, i’ve been up and doing things as per usual.. of course i haven’t gone lumber jacking or run a marathon, and let’s face it i never will, but it’s been good to get back into things so quickly.

size wise, i’ve got a way to go before i fit back into my size 8’s and frankly i think i will probably just stay a 10 or 12 now (down from the size 14 i was during pregnancy). i really don’t mind at this stage, but my jelly belly has been getting a work out now that i’m back doing pilates. i’ve given myself until my 30th to lose the extra 3-4kgs but hopefully 12 months is more than enough time

Jovie – well what can i say? she’s an absolute DOLL. i think we’ve cracked her code – she’s been sleeping through the night this week and sleep is restored to almost normal! i didn’t want to jinx it, but i can’t help but be deliriously happy to get more than 3 hours of sleep in one stretch – it’s such a luxury to have 2 sleeping babies in the house and i know how lucky i am.

she’s getting better at tracking people and things lately, i feel like she can’t take her eyes off me and that’s totally ok 🙂

newsletter: month one

Posted on June 21st, 2009 by Tracey

To my darling baby girl, today marks your one month birthday 🙂

As I sit here feeding you, I can’t help but note how amazing the past 4 weeks have been. You have accomplished the miraculous – brightened my already incredible life. You’re my cherry on my delicious cake.

I always had the wish to experience a drug free labour but had doubts. But this was the first gift you gave me – you were calm, so I was calm; you were ok, so I was ok. It was an affirmation of life for me, and the beginning of yours.
