Hi.
Been a while.
So after an extended break from blogging I have decided to return. Mainly because I miss writing but also because I miss the outlet. And I really need one right now, because frankly, I’m spending waaaaay too much time on Facebook whilst breastfeeding and I’m at risk of becoming a crazy Facebook lady.
(At this point I am extremely glad I didn’t flounce; cause coming back after a flounce is just plain wrong. And possibly very embarrassing.)
Oh yes. Breastfeeding. No I didn’t re-lactate Smushy at almost 3. I had another one. A boy version. His name is Phoenix and we like him a lot.
Anyway this is what happened in the last 12 months…
*We bought a house on the Coast because Sydney is stupidly expensive and we couldn’t live in a facking apartment one minute longer. At first I felt homesick for the city but then I settled in and now I love it here. I know people; I have beautiful friends, Addison has a massive backyard, we are slowly transforming the place into our dream home and it’s just generally one of the best things we ever did. And I do not enjoy going into the city now. Ha.
*We took our toddler overseas. It was a long flight. Then she wee’d on Spouse in the customs line at LAX. It was pretty awesome.
*I got knocked up in New York.
*We came home and I had the worst pregnancy ever. I spent almost 6 weeks on and off in hospital with HG. (Yes just like Princess Kate and yes I tried crackers and ginger and no they don’t work because it’s not just morning sickness.) I vomited every day till he was born and yes, during labour. I had GD and high BP and it was just generally shithouse.
* I gave birth at 36 weeks via c section after going into spontaneous labour but failing to progress past 3cm. I was giving Smush a bath and my waters broke. I really tried to VBAC but then the epidural failed and I was yelling a lot and then he turned posterior and it was all over. Also, if you ever are near me during Labour..don’t chew gum…Spouse learnt the hard way.
*So Phoenix arrived and he is the most beautiful baby boy. We are all in love with him. Smushy adores him. Sometimes violently.
*I now drive the big car. I can’t park it. Enough said.
*Spouse got a new job and I am off work being a housewife and stay at home mum. I have yet to embrace ironing though. Calm down please.
*I have watched Frozen about 4000 times. Smushy loves it. She’s 3 in July and absolutely gorgeous and funny and spends her days single handedly destroying the house and saying no. But she has spirit and sass, which I love.
And that’s it really. 12 months. New house, new suburb, new car, new baby and a new job for Spouse.
It feels good to be back.
Yay! Welcome back and congratulations on the arrival of your new baby boy!
Welcome back Mez! Good to be reading you again 🙂 xx
Yay! I love your blog and I’m so glad you’re back. ❤️
Yay! So glad you are back and that you named your beautiful boy after me 😉 (it’s my middle name).
Ps I flounced and came back, not that embarrassing mostly because I have no shame.
I saw a micra the other day and wondered if you were still using it. Now I know. X
Think I’m going to enjoy reading your blog lol
