My daughter is six months old on Tuesday and I'm starting to remember that I'm Lori as well as Mama. There is some small space and time for half-awake stumbling me time. The past six months have been wonderful and I am honestly the happiest I've ever been and there has been a lot of awe and wonder but also a lot of anxious moments, crazy hormones and a little bit of pain. So It's nice to get to a place where I've got a little bit of time to sit and reflect and to just be me. I've just started reading for pleasure again in addition to books on babies and scouring the internet on my phone at 4 am for information on cloth nappies trying to stay awake during a feed.
I've been thinking I needed a new place to put my thoughts, that is when I remember I have thoughts at all beyond 'feed-sleep-washing-huh-what-can-i-go-back-to-sleep-now?' I will probably use this as a place to talk about what I'm enjoying at the moment in terms of pop culture, post the odd recipe or two and I will almost certainly use it to talk about my life as a mother. I've quite wanted to write something about giving birth but I've never really had a space where I've felt comfortable doing it so the plan is to do a post on that fairly soon.
Also I will almost certainly post photos of a really fucking cute baby.
