well what can i say.. it has been six months now since bubba challum was born, and a lil over a year since i moved back from sydney. What have i learnt.. lets see..

child birth hurts.. if they say it didnt then they lied.. the epidural works wonders though and you get to sleep like a baby while still in labor.. oh the joys of modern medicine..

Being a single mum is really as hard as it looks. your always left with no money, you have no time to yourself. but the best thing about it is that you get to experience everything that your child goes through as you are always with them.

Now being a single parent rains havock on your social life and even your dating life.. well its more of the fact that you no longer have either one of those.. i have noticed that since the time i announced i was pregnant to now, i have lost many friends along the way. Now if only they realised that just because i have a child now does not mean i have changed in any way. it just means that i dont have alot of time to spare.. but in a way it is a good thing aswell, because then you realise the people that are worth giving your little spare time to.

ive recently just come back from a very fortunate and needed childless holiday. Although i missed bubba so much, it was good to be able to just sit there and do nothing. Enjoy being able to go out to restaurants with friends with out having to pack the nappy bag first. but as soon as i got back i didnt want to put him down to bed. i just wanted to hold him all night.. which would not have been the greatest idea as i was sick and feeling rather week when i returned.. so he slept safely in his cot and was pampered the next day instead.

Now the one thing that im really not enjoying after having bubba is the baby weight i had put on just seems to keep growing despite the fact that im exercising and watching what i eat.. seriously, i dont want to be any fatter.. in fact i want to lose all this weight that ive gained.. dam it..

Bubba challum is now 6 months old. He now has his 2 bottom teeth and is sitting up. he has learned to balance on his hands and knees and hopefully by christmas he will be crawling.

As for me.. I am still single, still at home and still broke. But i am lucky to have a happy baby who has the most gorgeous blue eyes and a smile that lights up everyones face. You are my world bubba and i hope that one day we both can find someone to share that with.
