Bubby

Introducing the main man in my life. This is Bubby. Being a mother is completely different to what I thought it was going to be - but its one of those things that you really cannot prepare yourself for. Its indescribable.

I find it amazing how little Mr Man already had his own personality right from birth. He has his own set of likes and dislikes and its amazing how some of them aren't developed - they are already there.

My favourite thing about Bubby is being able to see how he is growing and learning and changing right before my eyes. First he would smile, almost by accident. Now, every time he sees me - his face lights up in the biggest smile. Before I have the chance to get too excited about this - he does the same smile at certain bright coloured stuffed animals in his room! He's trying to "talk" to me with little "ahhhs" and "gooos" and "oohs" whereas before the only sounds he would make would be crying. Its amazing how much he changes in such a short period of time - it makes me want to grab onto every moment and cling to them.

This week I am going to a Mothers Group for the first time, starting a Yoga course with my mother for the first time and having a visitor from Japan - it is a week with a lot going on and given that I still feel shell-shocked from being discharged from hospital I hope that I come out of this okay.
