Remember Me?


Shoohh..it has been ages since I have updated my blog. Well as you can see, above are some updated pictures of my beautiful Jada...
Jada Grace
Jada is three months old on the 8th Feb...and is the angel in my life. She has given me so many reasons to redirect my life in a "healthier" way. She keeps me calm and centres my soul. She is drinking 5 x 180 mls of formula a day...and, once we put her down between 6-7 at night, sleeps through to 5-6 am the next morning...so it seems like Midnight feeds are a thing of the past.
My life has been very busy since the birth of Jada. I was back at work two weeks after her birth. Unfortunately, I have a tricky month end that no-one else can manage. Fortunately, I could take Jada with me....so it was an exhausting time.
Then my sister, Aunty D, came to visit from New Zealand....yahhh....I love my sisters. It was great having her here. And it was great to let Jada get some loving from her Aunty D.
I also joined Weigh Less two weeks after Jada....like hell..little Lotta in the making..I have a total of 25 kgs to loose...I was off to a great start which has fizzled out very quickly. But, I am refocussing this week. I cannot let my sister C loose more than me....never...I would rather starve...smile..
The Universe has also started off the year with a great big shake....everything familiar in my life has been rattled...horrible at the time...but essential for growth
This year my blog is going to have a change of tone. For so long now, all my focus and energy have been on conceiving and bringing my little soul safely into our world... now it is my time.
I started the year off with a list of achievable, measurable goals...I will share in a later blog...but I need to get back to basics...I need to re-invent myself to be someone other than "Jadas Mom"..
I do not know how I am going to do this but I know it must be done..little steps, little steps....
For the time being my B and I have decided to embark on 100 days of nookie nooks.. this is based on a book I read called "Just Do It". We started off well last week Tuesday...but fell off the band wagon on day 3. So we called it quits and have started the cycle again last night. I will keep you posted......so tonight we are on day 2/100
So heres to 2011...and love, light and divine blessings
