Time for Spring...
I love Spring - It's my favorite time of year. In fact I just love a change of season...
Apologies to my readers, I have been a little absent these last couple of months. You could say I have been doing a little soul searching? (less time on social media and more reality time) Not only that but the time had come for Jake and I to apply to the District court in Brisbane for our parentage order. Now here we were thinking the hard part was over (watching someone else carry our baby) NOPE- Turns out that was the easy part! Never did we ever think we'd be filling out 2kgs worth of paperwork trying to convince the judge that Jake and I plan to take good care of our daughter and how we plan to raise her the best we possibly can...like do teen mums have to answer these questions to the hospital before they leave? or people who fell pregnant by accident? or pregnant people who take drugs? Nope, well maybe in some cases but probably not very often (it's pretty obvious). We literally feel as though we are fighting for the rights to take home our daughter, as if the last few years weren't hard enough!
Anyway - The good news is we have a court date in November and we can't wait to get it all done! It is the final piece to the puzzle of this amazing AMAZING journey. I miss Shaynas pregnancy so much, the excitement of the unknown and the waiting game. The ante natal appointments and watching Shayn grow! The day of the birth I could seriously live over and over again! Not many women will actually get to witness their baby enter the world (especially from the angle I was at haha) as they are to busy trying to breathe and focus on that happy place. How blessed am I!
On another note I made a promise to myself coming into this year that I would not let toxic people take over my life anymore! So glad i made this decision. This year has not just been amazing because I finally became a mum but I've shut out the people that have a negative impact on my life and let new positive people in! Man it is so bloody refreshing! Who would have thought that being so happy and positive would actually turn people nasty towards you! But as we grow older perhaps our skin gets thicker? But my mind is clearer and my heart is heavier.
In the last few months I have really been working on helping others - Friends or people I know are struggling with fertility or friends who are just finding life a little tough at the moment, weather it be their marriage, job or just life in general. Asking people R U OK is so important to me, I am not a counselor nor a doctor but I am a friend, family member and have had my share of medical issues. It is so rewarding that even when I am having a bad day knowing i have helped make someone elses a little brighter - just by listening or lending some advice <3 Being a positive human can actually rub off onto other people and it doesn't hurt to sit and listen!
My Saturday night has consisted hot cups of tea, oily hair I can't be bothered to wash, baby monitor on hip and blogging. So I have attatched a photo where I look at least a little decent #mumlyf
