12 months later
Me in the last 12 months. hmmm.. Lots and lots of ups and downs, but to be honest, bubba has helped me through all of them. I can be as stressed and upset as anything, then is ee him smile and i cant help but smile and appreciate what i do have right in front of me. They say that you dont know what unconditional love is until you have a child, and to be honest, i completely agree with them. The smile that you get in the morning when you get him from the cot or when he's playing with a toy and he looks over at me and gives me a cheeky but proud grin, i cant help but feel grateful, happy and content. As much as i still sometimes wish that i still lived a childless life, there is no way that i would change it for the world. He has changed me for the better, what more could i ask for.
This weekend will be his 1st bday party and his christening. Bubba Challum, i do hope that you enjoy your day entirely. It is for you. I know that you wont remember it in the future, but there are many, many more bdays to come for you to enjoy just as much.
As of his last check up, he is weighing approximately 9 and a half kilos and his is 94cm long. He has 4 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth so far. He is still lilly white. lol. But he is my precious boy.
Oh. He had also at some point learnt to undo his nappy. So too my suprise one day after lunch when i went to go in and get him from his afternoon nap to see him playing with is poo.. Hmm what a family trait to have chosen bubba. lol. Luckily for me, he hadnt painted the cot with it, just hes sheet. What a clever boy i have.

My poems
16/03/2009
Happiness is near..
Through thick and thin, we rise so tall;
And through it all, we never fall
Our hopes and dreams may one day crash;
But to you from me, ill be there in a flash
Our lives have changed from what we once were;
But be that may, we are the battler
For ever and ever is always so strange;
But for you and me, there is always change
Our lives, loss and happiness will be set free;
Forever with you and for you unto me
With unfortunate gifts from far beyond;
But we grow and grow; we are as strong as our bond
Despite what may happen to me and you;
Hold it close to your heart, hold it close with value
As these hills we climb, grow larger and larger;
We think to ourselves, is there really an ever after
But in the midst of our fortune and fame;
There grows a trust for only you and me to claim
So hold on tight as we both draw closer to fear;
And we shall know that our happiness is but near.

Your will be done…
We used to be happy
We used to smile
We used to jump around
And run down the aisles
But now you see
You have changed from me
What was used to be
When we were free
We have lost our way
Chosen the wrong path
Both struggle and sway
Lost in the worlds wrath
I struggle to see
How both you and me
Can throw our love
As we push and shove
What we once were
Is no longer here
You have become the enabler
As it so appears
Please be gone
I need to be strong
I need my happiness
Not to be heartless
I need to grow
Follow my heart
Not see your shadow
Just let me part
Your strength is too much
I cant get to the door
Your soft to the touch
I crumble to the floor
There I lay
Lifeless and still
Broken like clay
This is your will

Abortion
Snuggled in all nice and warm
Its sleeping peacefully
But im still torn
But what will it be
Is what I ask myself
Do I embark on this journey
Im scared, do I run
Do I stand my ground
The stress weighs like a tone
I toss, I turn
Many sleepless nights
The choice is mine, but still I yearn
I cant do it
Im not ready
They tell me to sit
Take a breath they say
This wont hurt a bit
Today is the day
Its so lifeless and still
I wondered what it would be
As my heart starts to spill
Im sorry my sweet
I didn’t know what to do
And now you will never be complete

My Fight, My Light
So far away, my feet stand on solid ground
Staring back at you, I think I've been found
A glimpse of hope fluttered through my heart
A smile on your face, we will never part
Your voice as calming as the clear night sky
Wipping the tears from my eyes asking me not to cry
You pulling me closer felling your breath on my neck
Comforting me I am no longer a wreck
Your brush your hand gently past my cheek
Deep down inside I start to feel so weak
Only with you can I be true to myself
No longer can I hide what's inside on the shelf
The hope you have brought, the forgiveness you have shown
The love you have given me, to all it will be known
You are the one who saved me from my own self fight
I will hold on to you forever, you are my light

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.
