Being a mother isn't easy. Prior to giving birth I naively had a fantasy scenario of the baby sleeping about 4-5 hours a night, leaving me somewhat refreshed. And in the day my baby will be napping for long stretches and I'll be free to do chores, keep my new home spic and span and maybe squeeze in a few baking sessions and lounge on my sofa with a cuppa tea, my baked goodies and a romance novel.
Picture this instead...
A sofa filled with clothes that has to be put away, dishes lying in the sink unwashed, laundry yet to be done and my unruly tresses pinned up perpetually because I have no time to wash it in the afternoons and darkening bags under my eyes because I simply cannot remember what sleeping through the night feels like anymore.
This is my life now. But I've never been happier :)
As I'm typing this post, the little man is lying asleep in my arms, laughing at something in the midst of his slumber. A warm and fuzzy feeling fills my heart knowing that he's having pleasant dreams at this moment, and that he's feeling happy. This right here, makes everything worth it.
It helps that the hubby is a rockstar, taking on the odds and ends I didn't accomplish throughout the day such as laundry and cleaning up things I left behind. He never complains abt the house being a mess and will constantly remind me to leave things undone and go take a nap.
Last weekend we brought the little man out for an excursion because I needed a hair cut for CNY. Hubby wheeled him around for hours while I did my hair. Then we proceeded to the Mayer warehouse sale where he got me my "push present"!

Finally! A KitchenAid to call my own! I'm so ecstatic, as any baker will be. I got mine in the colour Candy Apple Red because I love the metallic sheen over the classic Empire Red. Now this beauty is sitting proudly in my kitchen. I can't wait to start baking!
Mayer sale rocks! We got a free oven for purchasing the KitchenAid and the air fryer at an awesome $98 with a free additional grill pan! Our damage was pretty significant but so were our savings!
Ending this post with a little picture of Lucas and his cheeky little grin after I've changed him. Poop and pee no longer bothers me. I've lost track of the number of times he has doodied on me, after which he looks at me and laughs which makes me laugh too. My son, the bully.
