Adjusting to normal life with a baby has proven challenging to say the least and luck this week has definitely not been on my side. I intend to become a primary school teacher and so this week I had two interviews for universities. The lack of sleep beforehand really did help with my nerves, as I was barely conscious once I arrived. Attempting to convince someone that I’m a competent student teacher whilst having a brain full of the best nappy rash creams and baby washing powders, proved difficult. Nevertheless, I got offered places at both and am excited at the prospect of becoming a teacher. Why look after one child when you can attempt to control 30?
I’m now 5 weeks postpartum and feel as if I was never pregnant. All I did during my pregnancy was moan about how uncomfortable I was or how ‘fat’ I was getting, but now that’s all gone and rectified I have found myself missing my bump. After creating life in your belly, a flat stomach seems somewhat mundane. If it weren’t for the photos of my enormous stomach it would all feel a bit like a dream. However, baby’s eyes are getting brighter and her periods of interaction are getting longer. There is no better feeling than knowing that smile isn’t wind, it’s really a smile.
One of my best friends is leaving me next week to explore the other side of the world and although I couldn’t be more happy for her, I’m gutted she’s leaving. We decided to spend her leaving night in style at the lovely place that is… Uprawr and we certainly went out with a bang. The morning after changing pooey nappies with a very turbulent, hungover stomach was not so much fun. I’ve decided that I will get through her leaving by remembering that her trip is open ended and so although this means she’ll probably be gone for a significant amount of time, me and baby have a secret hope that the other side of the world will be super boring and she’ll have no choice but to come home (if you’re reading this, let me believe it).
‘There is no better feeling than knowing that smile isn’t wind, it’s really a smile.’ best sentence on parenting I think I have ever read haha!
