2nd post New Years Eve - What a night

I’ve got this strange feeling that I no longer know my baby, she is not behaving in her usual way. Saying that she is only just over 5 weeks so I cant say that I know her very well at all. She wouldnt settle at all - about two hours kip. Saying that on the bright side I found a very useful and portable rocking device - my older daughters skipping rope. Saved me leaving the bedroom and going downstairs to use the threshold.

My new year promise

It was a long time since I last posted anything on here. Well just under a year to be exact. But now the last day of 2011 there is a lot that I want to share. Not only have I gone and done it again, I am now a mother of two!!

Little did I know that it was gonna be just as hard the second time around. Dealing with a over excited 4 year old who is getting less attention than she is used to and dealing with a screaming baby could drive anyone crazy. How do you stay sane in this chaos. There are things everywhere, and all I do is tidying and washing. Apart from when I am breast feeding and changing nappies or rocking the push chair.I need sleep, stronger painkillers and dry/clean clothes. Well there are different hurdles second time around but who was I kidding when I thought it was gonna be easy.

I am now making it one of my promises for 2012, to write on here regularly. That is because I need to write down my feelings and ideas in order to stop being stuck in this loop of writing lists of things I want to do, everything from baby-mother survival kits to just opening my heart and cry out how very difficult it is to be a good mum.

So during the coming year I would like to share some of my deepest thoughts about motherhood and on how to survive the first year. I want to share tips on how to look good without getting no sleep and not having time to spend 1 hour in front of the mirror, healthy smoothy recipes, non chemical baby wipes and lots more.

Of course there is gonna be a lot of typical mum posts of the children but also some of my favorite mum blogs (and also some links to other sites that influences me).

Vicky Lovine - The best friends guide to surviving the first year of motherhood. I am really gonna try and find some time to finish this hilarious but very useful book this time.
