A few months has passed

I have neglected this blog of mine as time is precious to a mum who wants to spend all her waking moments with her little one. However now I will take the time to update a little while Chase is napping away in the living room.

It's been an interesting journey being a mother. There has been laughter, sadness, anger and disappointments along the way. It's hard to capture every moment but I wish I had. I try very hard to remember every minute detail of the journey as once it's gone, you are never getting it back.

I have struggled with some important things during this past month like forsaking my freedom, just to spend most of my time within the four walls of my home. Gone are the days where I can freely call a friend out, have a long lunch or even do a facial whenever I want to. There are times where I wish all this freedom would come back soon, but then when I think again, I start to caution myself about what I wish for as once Chase grows up, he probably wouldn't even want you by his side anymore. He would want to go out with friends and wouldn't want to be seen with his mummy or be called a mother's boy. So I guess I will cherish the moments that I have now.

A lot of people ask if I have plans for a second one. The answer for now is a NO because of issues I face at home. It's a real struggle not being able to be a mother sometimes. The many suggestions one get from experience homemakers can sometimes drive you nuts. True I have made mistakes taking care of Chase, but it's all part and parcel of learning and growing with your child. Sometimes I feel people fuss too much. But then again, if we don't fuss, does that make us a bad parent? I've felt bad before when my hubby said that other mothers are so concern about dettol wipes on outside baby sits but I simple brush it off. In my opinion, I just feel it's no need to fuss about this kind of things and exposing the baby to some germs may do him more benefit than harm. Then again, I keep quiet and tell myself, as long as it means well for Chase, I shouldn't bicker so much with all concerned parties.

A few things about Chase. Overall he is a happy baby always wanting to play rough and super duper enjoys the outdoors. He still wakes up in the middle of the night several times and he is a difficult eater. Sometimes I ask myself is it because I ain't a good cook or he just doesn't want to eat too much. I got to try new things every time so that he will enjoy his food.

Tomorrow, the entire family is going for their first photoshoot. I am so excited. Will share some of facebook once I get a hold of the pictures. Enjoy!
