Parenting is hard....

Parentign is such a scary huge responsibility. With so many different parenting guides out there and different theories on how to gro a great human being how on earth can you feel confident that the decisions you make are the right ones.

My big issue right now is financial, I have savings but have to decide how to use them, is it best to put my money towards a house and lead a frugal but safe life paying off that mortgage, should I be investing $100,000.00 sending Flynn to the school of choice or should I use the money that we do have on family holidays and days out to make life fun.

What priorities make a good childhood and what things that I miss out on will cause him to resent me as an adult....

Need to focus

I've let myself get a crush on an unnattainable person again. This is a huge flaw I need to sort out. I could have ten guys chasing me and am only ever interested in the guy who shows the least interest.
I am making a concerted effort to concentrate on my friendships, family and study for the rest of this year.
I am absolutely banned from chasing boys because the ones I chase generally arent worth chasing.

Bec's words of wisdom

People who say you need to earn their trust ill never learn o trust fully. Trust should be given and only distrust can be earnt. Otherwise you are blaming new people for sins of others.

New Hair

I've gotten far too boring in the last few years with having nasty boyfriends and nasty office jobs so I've decided to take a giant leap backwards and find the person I used to be. That of course is best done with fashion :)
Here is my new hair:

Catch up on my baby

Since I'm so incredibly slack at updating here is a quick update of Flynn's life until now:

Flynn was born on the 27th of June at 3:30pm by Ceasar after a 26 hour labour. He was in distress and was born very sick (blue and not breathing) and was rushed away by four paediatricians. I also went into shock during the operation and was in recovery for a long time then they took me to my room and I did not get to see Flynn until 1:30 am. In that time noone really told me what was going on and I was very scared. It was horrible but then they brought my baby to me and he was fine.

We were in hospital for 6 days, he was on an antibiotic drip for the first 3 and then needed no help after that. Unfortunately he had very bad reflux which eventually turned out to be a lactose intolerance so we swapped him to soy formula raher than breastmilk and he was thriving.

This is Flynn at 3 months, he was a very quiet baby at this stage and would just sit and watch everyone. Always very smiley until a camera would be brought out.

This is Flynn 6 months old on Christmas day propped up on his cousins new bike. He didn't learn to sit until 8 months although he could crawl by 6 and a half so this photo had to be taken very quickly.

And this is him now, crawling, smiling and beautiful. He has also now learnt to pull hmself up to standing so it won't be long until he is running everywhere.

Back to blogging.

I cannot believe I have neglected this blog since before I even had a baby. I have internet at home once more and will try get my blog back up and running.

Quick update on me:
- I had a baby boy on the 27th of June 08 named Flynn.
- I seperated from Andy last Sept, there was alot of bitterness and fighting but we are getting to a point where we can get along quite well.
- I moved to Katoomba and have a cute duplex all to myself (and Flynn obviously), I've been decorating and will post some pics soon.
- I'm still off work but have gotmy website up and running and have a bit of work from m business.
- Can't think of anything else right now but will update later.
