Bethany's Baby Babblings

I just love my little monkey so much. She's just pure joy. Even when she's being a little shit and generally being a baby (babies can be well annoying. I know they can't help it but it's true) After my sister Emma died I was so numb and couldn't ever see myself enjoying life like I used to. Which made me feel guilty because I know that Emma would want me to be happy and live my best life. However when wiggles came along she taught me (and my family) that you can experience the utmost happiness along side the sadness. She reminded us that life is good. I still have my PND (and still on the waiting list for therapy *sigh*) but experiencing the world a new with my ray of sunshine is helping fix my broken heart. I think IKEA sums it up pretty well (haha hear me out) with their slogan - the wonderful everyday. Dribble chops remind me that there is happiness and excitement in normal everyday stuff, which helps balance out missing Emma, feeling low and the PND. For...

Life's getting in the way of me posting as regularly as I'd like. All sorts of baby and non baby stuff is happening in my life so I keep choosing sleep over posting my usual babbles. So in the meantime here is some actual baby babblings from monkey.

It's my daughter's Auntie Emma's birthday today. She would have been 29. Everything that has happened recently (my sister's death and my daughter's birth) has reminded me of the latest Cinderella remake. There's a lovely quote; I want to tell you a secret that will see you through all the trials that life can offer, have courage and be kind. If I only had two words to describe Emma it'd honestly be courageous and kind. And these are two traits I will teach my daughter (and myself) to be because Emma was/is amazing and if more people were kinder and braver then the world would be a wonderful place.
