Being me

If I'm honest...

...I struggle with comparing myself to others

...I struggle with the fact I still don't feel I really know myself

...I struggle with not feeling that I deserve the nice things

...I struggle with not wanting to blend into the background but not wanting to stand out either

...I struggle with feeling that everyone else has it more together/sorted than me...and usually looks better than me

...I struggle with some aspects of my post-baby body...even though I didn't think I would and don't think I should

...I struggle with not knowing what to do

...and at the moment, I struggle to remember anything!

Poorly

What I really want is to share some great photos from Ethan's 1st birthday weekend celebrations...but I'm suffering with a very poorly throat and feeling very sorry for myself and struggling to keep my eyes open.

So, I'll just build the anticipation and make you wait!

1 today!

Yeah it's my first birthday!!!

I can't believe its one whole year since this!

I can still remember his arrival like it was yesterday!
How much has he changed since then?!

Ethan Robert, your daddy and I love you more than words can tell. You constantly make me smile and I am so proud to be your mammy! xxxx

Pensive

Possibly thinking serious thoughts about his new (first) hair cut! Who knows?!

Maybe he was thinking about taking his first steps...which he did this morning before daddy had to go to work! Yay!

Honour

I wouldn't be who I am without them.

I couldn't be who I am without them.

The amazing women who I'm privileged to do life alongside encourage me, challenge me, support me. They make me laugh, they share my problems, they listen to my worries.

I couldn't possibly name all the women who surround me, inspire me, comfort me, love me. I'm bound to forget someone!

But I do want to honour them. I'm so fortunate to have such wonderful women in my life. I want to lift them up and say thank you.

Thank you for seeing beyond my insecurities and loving me in many ways.

I wouldn't be who I am without you.

I couldn't be who I am without you.

And I look forward to more fun, inspiring, challenging, encouraging, comforting, emotional, hysterical, crazy times together.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honour one another above yourselves.

At least someone was working hard!
