There is a difference between THINKING about doing risky behaviour, and actually DOING risky behaviour. Many people, when in very stressful situations, think, what the hell, doesn't matter - and then do some pretty self destructive stuff. Maybe, without Isla, in this situation (r'ship breakup), you might go do some stuff, but this time you didn't - maybe the difference is Isla.
Babies arrive and we assume, they need US, they need to learn so much.
But sometimes, we need THEM, and we can learn from what we go thru, being a mum.
(this is what i have learnt, from having a bub).
my DD didn't talk until three, i thought it would never happen!
i needed to learn patience, and boy, did i learn patience from that.
but in the meantime, from when she was a newbie, i was amazed how much we communicated just with eyes, looks, facial expressions. Watching them everyday, you notice all the differences, and the first time they communicate to you, that they understand humour, and are trying on purpose to make YOU laugh - it's priceless.
i hope you have a great time tonight, you are amazing to be in skinny jeans already!
Gigi...you are such an amazing support to me through all of this, your advice and wisdom is amazing.
Rouge, I'll take you up on that...maybe just one, teeny tiny vodka You'll make a great behaviour bouncer
I had a lovely dinner with mum. Went to a nice pub on chapel st, DD was so happy and content. I felt (and still feel) pretty Had a good convo with DH too earlier this evening, I feel a little better about life today.

You ARE pretty, oh gorgeous one I seriously don't know how you manage to look so drop dead gorgeous every time we've met, while I look awful (shaving my head hasn't helped )
no matter what your circumstances, those first months are crazy. i hope you end up with a super MG - i know alot of people seem to have crappy experiences but mine was a good one & they have been the best support - and still are.
and there is nothing wrong with wanting to go out & enjoy yourself. you still deserve (and i would argue, need) time out & time to enjoy yourself & remind yourself how special you are. i think it's important not to lose your own identity once you become a mum - it should be an added layer not the whole shebang.
i know you probably won't - but if you ever feel like a coffee (or a vodka ) just let me know - i'm in your area every monday
