Daisy Scented Dreams: May 2014
http://daisyscenteddreams.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 4, 2014. A poem for my sweet boy. Tomorrow, my maternity leave ends. I wrote the following for my Liam. I will hold you close against my heart. Kiss your cheek, and in your softness feel at peace. Hold you close and breathe you in, deeply, sweetly. I will feel your hand against my skin. Small and trusting, safe and warm. And feel your fingers stroke me. With love and gentleness. On your breath, the sweet scent of my milk. Rising like a promise, like a poem. Hold you, nourish you, keep you safe.

Daisy Scented Dreams: January 2014
http://daisyscenteddreams.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 27, 2014. Staying awake all night in my early 20's looked like this:. Example 1: Uni assignment due in three days, oh my god! Consume Diet Coke while staring at computer screen. Eventually decide to go to bed and work on it in the morning as far too tired now. Go to bed, be unable to sleep due to caffeine. Lie there, jittery and anxious. Feel alone. Example 2: Drinks. Many. Ah, to be 22 again. World of pain to follow. Feel alone in my misery. And the best part? I just put him into his own...

Monday, August 5, 2013. Well, I started writing the following on the 23rd of July and am only just now getting back to it.which sums up how busy it is having a newborn! I was very spoilt by my lovely man.I am now the proud owner of an iPhone, for one thing. For the past few years I have been saying "I don't need a fancy-pants touch screen phone! I'm happy with my little Nokia which has actual buttons! Seeing this face makes it all worthwhile, however. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Thursday, April 17, 2014. The five second rule gone wrong. Chocolate and I am going to eat it, damn it. However, I may have recently taken things too far. We crunched into them as we continued watching (look, I just said it was 'a movie' but we may have been watching Titanic. Completely without thinking, I grabbed it and put it in my mouth, only to discover to my dawning horror that it was soggy. Catinterested.sitting next to me.oh God. Saturday, April 5, 2014. Having a pay check. Yep. I put that...Momen...

Daisy Scented Dreams: November 2013
http://daisyscenteddreams.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 1, 2013. Beneath the ripples of my secret heart. I feel the all-consuming weariness of month after month of shattered sleep. This is your fault. No one else's baby wakes up eight times a night. You have done something wrong. You must have done something wrong to cause his sleeping issues. It's all your fault. The baby naps in his bed, mid morning, after a forty minute battle to settle him. I sit on the couch and close my eyes. I try to rest. Keep it perfect, please. The words of my harsh...

Daisy Scented Dreams: December 2014
http://daisyscenteddreams.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Okay, so the title of this post is a quote from one of my all time favourite movie characters, Inigo Montoya, from my all time favourite movie, The Princess Bride. (If you haven't seen it, I question whether we can be friends.). It seems fairly apt given that I have neglected my blog for so long and way too much has happened to cover in detail. So instead I will give a brief summary. It's nearly holiday time.

Daisy Scented Dreams: September 2013
http://daisyscenteddreams.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 26, 2013. I Was Treading Water, Now Im Starting to Swim. It's been a while. I kept going. I was treading water, barely staying afloat, but making it through the days. Through it all, we started to ask for help. I acknowledged the situation to my mother's group and received sympathy and support. I admitted how hard it was on Facebook and found friends with and without children reaching out to me to offer encouragement and advice. My parents returned from the island. We have still had a...

Daisy Scented Dreams: July 2014
http://daisyscenteddreams.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 19, 2014. Birthday Weekend to Mount Cameron, part 1. Harry brought his Batman costume along and my sister decided to wear the cake and mask and become Bush Woman. Liam is loving having everyone around as well as standing up at the couches in the big main room. I moved eight couches around to create a play area so he is safely away from the fireplace and he loves walking around the couches, especially when members of his family are sitting on them. Loves his Nan and Pop. Its fun to be one.

Sunday, March 16, 2014. What I Should Be Doing. We had one of those days on Saturday. Liam has become a lot better at napping since we went through sleep school but still has the odd 'off' day and Saturday was one of them. Basically he told naps and self settling to eff off and decided he wanted to have all his naps on me after/during extended breastfeeding sessions. He let me know about his decision in no uncertain terms. There were things I needed to get done today while he was napping.there are th...
