EIGHT WEEKS POST-PARTUM

I can't believe it's been eight week since I've given birth to Gemini. I regularly evaluate how my life and body has changed since Gem's birth and I thought I will blog about what the last eight weeks has been like. 

Body

My body has changed so much since I became pregnant, I remember telling my friends "omg I haven't got stretch marks,I'm so lucky lol" OK THEN. That dream ended quickly... Towards the end just before I gave birth guess what appeared on my body? Stretch marks!! I thought I'd be really insecure about them but to be honest with you I love them. I embrace them and I show them off by wearing my crops lol. Asides, this I feel like I've slowed down, I'm more tired and I can't walk for long. Additionally, my blemishes on my face has gotten worse I can see the skin under the blemishes is clear but it's actually an enemy of progress. I'm gonna do a one-month get rid of blemishes by trying out DIY creams (also for the stretch marks) and different cleansers.

  

Mind

I know everyone says you can develop depression after giving birth, but I think where I have had a lot of support from everyone I didn't feel depressed at all. What I can say is a lot of emotions that I was holding back came rushing in and I cried for like two days lol. After this I was fine. 

Gemini

Gemini is now eight weeks old, she can laugh, smile and coo. All the cute stuff, she is still only breast fed and she has not been sick at all. She had her first injection yesterday and I think I cried way more than her lol. Her colic phase is fading out really nicely and she is still sleeping through the night, sits in her bouncer and recognises me from a mile a way. I love her so much I will take a bullet and everything for her. I've put her in routine already - she sleeps around 10pm and wakes up around 5am to feed, she's responded so well I'm proud. Gemini has been holding her head up and turns it from side to side. 

Life

My has changed I wouldn't say dramatically but it has changed, it used to take me less than an hour to leave the house now it takes me FOREVER. It takes a lot of planning and preparation to leave the house with Gem but I still wouldn't change this for the world. It has helped me become more organised and prepared for anything. I don't go out as much because I don't want to leave Gem as I feel she is too young to be left all the time, If I can't go with her I don't go at all. Also, because she is just breastfed it makes it harder as she hasn't yet taken formula, I can't honestly be bothered to express lol the machine is too loud. Having a child has motivated me more to be successful, I want Gem to grow up and look up to me. I want to be the one to create opportunities for her and give her the best possible start to life. Let's just say she has fuelled the fire into getting up early and smashing my goals, just for my babes x
