Baby Brain Weekly Memoir … 15th May …Arjun the Social Butterfly!

Hello all!

So this week was our first week back from holiday – back to reality and it sucks a little!

I’ve really mentally and physically struggled this week – a combination of jet lag and not being able to catch up on sleep, Arjun’s constant waking at night, co-sleeping (he sleeps horizontal so Preetam and I are literally falling off the bed!), reduced naps (only one now if I’m lucky!) and a Duracell bunny Arjun (Arjun vs mummy), has left me absolutely knackered. I feel a bit like world’s worst mum at the moment as I’ve been counting down the minutes till Preetam gets home or till Arjun’s nap as I just can’t seem to find the energy to manage everything at once. The part I’ve definitely struggled with the most is his new found inquisition – I miss my boy that would happily play with his toys or eat his meals without the slightest distraction!

Arjun vs Mummy!

So the last few days have been pretty interesting (and tiring) in our household!

Arjun has suddenly decided to go exploring with no holding back whatsoever.

Not going to lie, I’ve struggled! With being back from holiday and alone with him again and this sudden upsurge in energy on his part and the sudden drain of energy on mine, it’s been exhausting!

I love that his personality is developing, but he’s a typical boy! I miss the days where I could put him in one place and know he’d stay put! But I also love seeing his quirkiness as tiring as it is.

9 Months In … 9 Months Out!

Wow! I can’t believe Arjun is a whole 9 months! The same duration as I was pregnant .. 9 months in 9 months out! 

We’ve known each other a whole 18 months where the first 9 months only we shared a special bond that we understood. Such a personal bond – just him and I. Where he relied on me to keep him alive and I relied on him to keep me going.

Change … Unloading my Thoughts

Why do I struggle so much with change? Arjun has just started crawling and its made me so irrational.  I always deal with change this way but struggling more so with this! 

It’s normal for a baby to grow and develop and start reaching their milestones. I am proud, super proud. But why do I also feel so sad?! Why do I feel like I’m already losing him?  He’s 8 months! Get a grip woman!  I wish he’d slow down!
The whole last 8 months feels like one big fat blur! I want to rewind back to when my baby was only relying on me. Now he’s on the move, I feel like that’s gone. I feel like I’ve lost something. I want him to reach out to ME when he wants something.  I’m being irrational I know. But I can’t seem to snap out of it!
