Sick in his eyes

Yep, you read the title right.. last night i heard Rio coughing on the baby monitor so i went into his room to check he was okay. Just in time to see him cough once more and projectile vomit..in his eyes!!

Okay when i saw him i had a little eek moment. Me and Craig were both like "how the hell do you get sick out of eyes?" i mean.. have you seen that one in the baby book anywhere? nope, neither have I. Instinct just kicked in and i wet a burp cloth with some luke warm water and rinsed them out the same as i would if i got shampoo in mine. Im new to this crazyness.

All cleaned up i put him down and he started whining a little..he never whines..so i picked him up and he instantly snuggled into me. Turned and did the biggest cheesey grin at Craig, then snuggled back again. Cheeky little sausage. Craig said "he's not silly is he". To which i put him back down and he fell back to sleep til 7 this morning without another murmer. Bliss.

Blergh.

Been to doctors and i have a throat infection, kidney infection & my right ear feels like im underwater. I'm pretty much ready to curl up into a ball in bed and sleep it off but of course that isnt possible. Us mums must troop on!!

Craig has training tonight, work on friday, and a match and 'team building' sat, since he's signed for a new team. Sunday he's asked if we can go to the inlaws and i need to take some clothes back and get some more. Then we might be off strawberry picking locally before they all go. No rest for the wicked.

Oh and as i cant swallow tablets i have been given the most rancid tasting medicine ever! Nice one.

Im not normal

You'd of thought after the lack of sleep for the last 2 months that given the chance id sleep straight through right? wrong!! Last night Rio slept from 9-5 (instead of waking every 3 hours) and i was awake waiting for him to want a bottle, everytime he murmered i shot up, only for him to nod back off! What-a-wolly.

One month update!

A month ago today i met my little boy for the first time and my life changed forever..in the best way possible may i add. It has without a doubt been the best month of my life .. it may also be the most tiredest month but none of that seems to matter anymore. Is tiredest even a word?

So this month Rio has learnt..
To have alot of control of his head and body in general (he is sooo unbelievably stong).
To like bath time and... he has learnt to SMILE!

baby big eyes

What has mummy learnt?
That their not as delicate as they look, with your own baby its alot different and you really dont need to handle them like little china dolls.
That if your not quick with the nappy you will witness an indoor sprinkler from the tinkler. Haha
That it is indeed actually possible to function on snipets of sleep.
That everytime you hear them cough,gip, splutter, murmer, or even sometimes just move slightly in the night you will bolt upright like a mad women.
And most of all... that he is and always will be the most important thing in my life. He makes me smile everyday. And the love a mother feels for their child is AMAZING. Simples.

Son & Mum snuggles & turning 21

Well.. Craig is at a presentation tonight, so its just me and my other mister. Snuggles on the sofa watching the soaps is the only thing on the agenda..well, other than the general baby duties but that goes without saying doesnt it in the life of a mummy.

I’m 21 this month. Never did i imagine that at 21 i would be a mum to a newborn baby..but i actually love it. Sometimes life doesnt go to plan but you’ve just gotta roll with it. I’m quite a maternal person anyway, babies, nappies and stropping tantrum throwing kids have never phased me. And now that i have Rio it just seems like i was made for it.. Craig too i think, he’s pretty much perfect!

So yeah, im 21 soon.. im still classed as a ‘young mum’ so i get all the judging looks and comments 16 year olds etc get occasionally..and it doesnt help me looking about 12 on a rough day (ooh and im a short a**e, hense the walkingtalkingpollypocket blog name) ..but who has the right to say when the correct age to have kids is? in my opinion if your settled down with someone (ive been with the OH coming up 5 years) then why the hell not!! & even if your not doesnt mean that you cant be just a good of parent. Heck im not one to judge but ive seen some terrors of older parents in my time.
