Take Back What's Yours Campaign

So my sister Lauren decided to tag me in this as apparently she would like to see what I would take back.

Well to be perfectly honest it's simple I would also take back my confidence, I have always been self-conscious (though people wouldn't tell) I've never really been happy with my body or looks but I was way more comfortable with my self a good 3-4 years ago and then I had the implant put in and it seemed to mess with my body, making me gain weight which I never managed to lose, and now I've had my baby I've gotten bigger, so I am trying to take back my confidence.

As an average gym goer I can tell you it is difficult, I generally go 2 times a week to classes and the the odd gym sesh on a Sunday, but life has once again gotten in the way, I now seem to have acquired problems from being so heavily pregnant which means it is going to make it even harder for me to go to the gym and keep up (as if Asthma and being unfit wasn't enough eh?), some days it just seems as if life doesn't want me to get fit and be healthy for my child but, I say screw them days and keep doing the best that I can do, there's not really much more than that you can do is there?

2015 is going to be my year and I'll be damned if I don't get to my pre-pregnancy weight or even less before the year is out!

Growing

My little boy is now 4 months old and boy can you tell. He sits in is chair babbling away at me and his father, how I wish I knew what he was talking about, sometimes, however he does resemble the Tasmanian Devil (cartoon). He shouts at us when he's not happy, which is quite a lot, he is a grumpy gru and laughs at near enough everything, apparently being a cheeky monkey is one of the best things ever. With his habits at night time he does make me incredibly tired, but it is all worth it to see that little smile on his face.

Me and my partner are constantly asked how old he is and then never believed because of how well he holds himself up, his head is completely sturdy now, soon it looks like he will be sitting up on his own, which I will be so proud about, he's such a clever little boy!

He has now developed a habit of grumping when he wants me to pick him up which I fall for every time because I think he might be hungry, he's too clever..

I taught him to kiss me, I say "give mummy a kiss" and he opens his little mouth for kisses, it is so adorable, I can't wait to teach him more! Though as much as I love the fact that he's getting bigger and learning new things, I miss when we first brought him home and how tiny he were, so glad I've got loads of pictures to remind me!

Luxuries

So there aren't really many luxuries you can have after you've had a baby, especially if you breastfeed, because drinking (alcohol) is a no no, leaving your baby alone with a family member for longer than an hour is cruel, especially if they are like mine and a greedy little so and so, so you have to make use of the time you do have and do something for yourself no matter how small it may be.

Personally I only have the time my baby is asleep to really have time to myself, which is not for long because he prefers cat napping rather than sleeping for half an hour to an hour. My partner is helpful as he watches our son a couple of nights a week so I can go to the gym, though as stated above I only get to get away for an hour.

So I have to try and do the things I used to do (minus the drinking) in the time I now have to myself during the day, I do little things like play on the Xbox 360, now write my blogs and just check up on my twitter and facebook. It doesn't seem like a lot but when you're strapped for time and you just want to relax sometimes having a decent game on Black Ops 2 can really help.

Let it go!

So my son has quite an unusual obsession with the song Let It Go from Frozen, since obtaining this laptop (less than a week ago) we have listened to the song about 10 times on Youtube, it seems to be the only thing which will calm him down when he is in a bad mood, now I don't mind the song but it gets to a point where it just becomes one huge blur! Though anything to keep my little munchkin happy right?

The worst part is he just had his second lot of vaccinations yesterday so last night and today he has been in a horrendous mood, which means Frozen is basically on repeat, it's got that bad my partner has even started singing it out of the blue and he is definitely not a Disney fan.

I personally don't mind Frozen but I would prefer if my little man would get attached to a different film, like Tarzan or The Lion King, though then I'll probably be blogging about how I now despise those films as well.

Oh well I suppose I'll just have to 'let it go' right?

Introduction

So I'm Natasha and I'm 21 years old, I recently had a baby (16 weeks ago to be precise) and as much as I love my little bundle of joy, he is making me realise how simple life used to be. Now don't get me wrong I knew having a baby was going to be difficult and full of trial and error, but I never fully comprehended how exhausted I would be, I believe doing manual labour would be easier, and not because I'm physically tired but mentally. I've been told plenty of times that I have a good baby, so I dread to think what it would be like with a child that wakes up every couple of hours.

Though as hard as he does make simple things (not being able to bath in peace) he is the best thing to have happened to me, watching him learn and experience new things is amazing. He giggles constantly! Even watching me type this is apparently funny. I can't wait to see how he will grow!
