52 Week Project : Wk 51

Lately, I seem to have lost touch with an old, familiar friend of mine.

We were fairly constant companians over the years, this friend and I.

Despite having little contact with each other in recent weeks, 

I was positively certainly absolutely sure she would come crawling out of

the woodwork once my beautiful Missi was born.

But she's keeping her distance.

She didn't visit us in the hospital and hasn't surfaced since I arrived home on the weekend.

She knows Hubby is returning work tomorrow and isn't interested.

Unusual.

Unexpected.

Home Sweet Home Missi

Anxiety, my old pal;

If I have offended you, driven you away or made you feel unwelcome here

...

brilliant.

Adios.

There's far more breathing space around here without you.

I am an annoying happy snapper who has sometimes fallen into the trap of believing that every moment worth remembering or celebrating also needs to be recorded.

Occasionally living life through the lens instead of in the moment.

But then, there are some moments in life that need no assistance 

to be etched into our memories forever more.

Life altering moments in time that replay themselves over and over

until every detail is completely embedded.

Although, having the precious snaps to tear up over isn't all that bad either.

Technically, these snaps are not from the weekend - but as I can barely distinguish the days of the week at the moment, let's let that slide.

Introducing Our 'Missi'...

She's here...

And she's got us all wrapped around her perfect tiny little princess fingers already.

Our adorable 'Missi' arrived on Tuesday 28th August weighing a sweet 3.16kg.

Can you tell I'm just a little smitten here?

Aaaaahhhh.

Must get back to that intoxicating newborn skin.

Wishing you a beautiful week doing whatever it is that might be happening outside of this beautiful baby bubble I currently occupy.

I'm sure we'll surface soon enough.

52 Week Project : Wk 50

Totes cheating this week.

As hard as it is to believe, I did not take those snaps.

I didn't take these either...

Or these...

I didn't snap these...

Or even these...

If you don't tell, neither will I. 

Thank you Amelia Claire Fine Art Photography for doing my 52 Week Project homework for me this week.

Point + Shoot : Roll Up, Roll Up

For a long time now, I've wanted to take Magoo to the circus.

(Let's be honest - for a long time now I have wanted to go to the circus!

Isn't this 'forever young' deal why we have kids in the first place?!))

I purchased tickets during the week and was delighted to see Magoo's excitement grow each day.

Poor little guy doesn't quite realise that we're about to embark on

our very own at-home-three-ring-circus within the week!

Saturday's show did not disappoint - either of us.

It was good old fashioned entertainment that had us mesmerised, laughing

and in some cases gripping the arm next to us and freaking out.

That 'Wheel of Death' could very nearly be rechristened

'The Wheel of Holy Heck Mummy Might Just Go Into Labour Watching This Business'.

Aside from the circus to enjoy, there was sunshine to soak up, birthdays to celebrate

and ridiculous levels of nesting to engage in over the weekend.

How was yours?

Much clowning around?

Grateful for... Calmmmmmm

This week I'm taking the liberty of giving myself a pat on the back.
Well, in truth, more a patting and rubbing of the belly - but nonetheless.

After a tumultuous week on the home front and with people around me choosing some unusual ways to conduct themselves... I'm grateful for the general sense of calm I have maintained here.

Maybe I'm just too busy rubbing my belly and dreaming of little pink fingers and toes to be phased.
Maybe I've simply been too lazy or self indulgent to fire up where I would have normally taken the bait.
Maybe I sense something bigger coming into my bubble of baby bliss here to worry myself silly or take on board others' issues.

Either way, it's been a welcome state of mind this week.
So welcome, I cordially invite it to stay for at least the next six months to sixteen years if it wants to.

On a more Magoo note, one day we may just be grateful for this impromptu daddy tutorial.

As disturbing-ish as it is ... I guess, they're never too young to learn hey?
