Finding time for myself
Seven-month old Baby Girl must be feeling very confused about her changing schedule. She was used to all the activities in her life being targeted at her. We’ve done baby music, art, cooking, playing on a mat and meeting with baby friends. It’s always been about her.
But more recently I’ve been trying to sneak in a few things for me too. She must think I’ve gone mad though. She’s certainly looked at me that way when she’s been sitting up in her pram, watching me get my back fixed at the physio, try on dresses at Austique in King’s Road and have a polish change at Bliss.
Ninety-nine percent of the time she and I are still doing fun baby activities when she’s awake, but I’ve been so excited about her now being happy sitting up in the pram that I’ve been tempted to squeeze in a few things for myself too.
After getting over the shock of not being the centre of attention every second of the day, she’s continued chewing her giraffe and even smiled at people we’ve met. Go Baby Girl.

happy to hear you can finally have some “beauty time”! It’s important to know that mothers need some time-off. This makes us happier and calmer – just what the babies need, too! 🙂
Agree! It’s difficult to fit in me-time in the beginning, but the fact that she can sit up in her buggy seems to have made everything a lot easier 🙂
