What goods' a sleeping baby if I'm still up all night with insomnia...

This past couple weeks have been pretty amazing. Every day I wake up with purpose. I feel like I've arrived at the beginning of everything I was meant to do. I'm feeling inspired and motivated- well, as much as a sleep deprived, constantly breastfeeding woman can be. I just try to do a little of each of my goals each day. I try to stay present above all. My main goal is to sincerely try and appreciate each moment and live in the now in whatever I may be doing. It's a balance of staying busy to keep motivated, and allowing myself to indulge in day long snuggle with my baby and my husband if that's what we all are needing. Just to breathe, and let go of everything that's pulling at me, weighing me down. Just to smile, because life is pretty fucking good right now. I will try extra hard to remember this over the next week. This week we are moving! I'm equally thrilled and overwhelmed. No matter how much I've planned and organized my time, the task of moving house while caring for a 7 week old baby pixie lady is a lot to process. It's out of the comfort zone of having all my things in their places. I'm never as content and at peace than when I am relaxing in my fresh and tidy surroundings. I don't like to be crowded with clutter. We live in an ever growing box city; where all the walls are bare and our feeling of home is neatly packed up in the claustrophobic mess that surrounds us.

Just need to get through this week.... then everything will be wondrous. I haven't been able to sleep for what seems like forever... my baby is sleeping through the night better then me. She is not the reason for my sleep deprivation. She is the reason for my energy and vitality. I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know my little minnow. We spend hours gazing into each others eyes and trying to communicate with our thoughts. Well, at least that's what I'm trying to do. I think it could be working sometimes. I feel like she understands everything but is trapped in a small and fragile body incapable of doing what she wants it to do. She has a sparkle in her eyes, and a wildness that reminds me of me. She always looks determined; very serious. So when I make her smile it's a very big deal. Seriously- I have found someone I want to make laugh more than anyone... except for maybe Josh. We are always trying to make each other laugh. :)

Ok, I think my sleeptime tea has kicked in. Time to go try and sleep.

Think sleepy thoughts....*yawn*

Sweet dreams internet friends.

Good Mail Day!

Got this cute little package in the mail today from my bff Brenna!!!

Inside was a sweet mermaid postcard, a wooden teething ring, baby leg warmers, and a handmade mermaid doll!! I have the coolest friends :)

minnow with her mermaid friend

Just one of those days....

Yesterday started off fine... Kaleia napped and I went thrifting and for a long ocean-side walk.

Even managed to get some blogging in. But then.....

She seemed ok after a good momma snuggle

She just wasn't a happy camper (yes that is spit up on her face lol)

She just need constant snuggles and affection. She's just like her momma on a bad day.

YogiNess

Having a baby has really made me perfect my home yoga practice. I used to only be able to focus and do yoga when being led in a class. Every time I'd flip out my mat at home and start to do a flow, I'd get easily distracted; look a kitty! I'm hungry! I'm going to change my outfit! etc...

The second after I had Kaleia, and I was healing and feeling up to it I dived back into hot yoga full force. Finally I got to fulfill my craving for heat, sweat and a well deserved savasana! But then the reality of having a newborn set in- you mean I can't fit in a hour of hot yoga every day like planned?! Shwa?! It's not that I physically couldn't manage it. In fact, I've never felt better! The couple classes I have managed to fit in have been amazing! It's incredible what our bodies are capable of, and how much muscle memory comes into play. It was more the fact that Kaleia was a little more unpredictable than predicted. Some days (like today) she just wants her mommy, all the time- like every 5 minutes. Which makes it difficult to get shit done. Especially biking downtown, taking a class and biking back. So over the past couple weeks, still desperately craving yoga, I started to seriously do yoga at home-everyday. I keep my self inspired by reading yoga blogs and keeping a daily checklist of things I can manage to do from home that are good for me. Such as yoga, a smoothie, one big salad, a walk with bebe, and one litre of water. I seriously check off that I've done these things everyday. Lame I know, but you know what? It works. I checked off all those things everyday for 2 weeks now. And I feel great! I feel my body getting stronger and tighter every day. And my once gigantic stomach is shrinking back to normal (only when standing up at the moment, the second I sit down it's roll city!). I realize I just had a baby 5 weeks ago, and I should give myself time to get back to normal. I realize this so much, that this isn't a stressful weight loss process at all. It feels more like healthiness maintenance. The important thing is to love myself now, and really just enjoy my baby and enjoy our family.
 Taped onto my computer I have my current goals;
-Eat Mindfully
-Practice Yoga daily
-Be present, enjoy the moment
-Stay positive

I find if I focus on those goals rather than superficial weightless goals I'm a much happier Ness.

One day I will do this...

This I can do!

Kaleia Minnow

My baby girl is already 5 weeks old! I can't believe how fast time speed up the second she was born. When I was pregnant time lagged on forever.
She is such a little pixie beauty. She's mischievous and a tad dramatic, already putting on quite the show. Every day is special. Every day she changes. I simply can't get enough of her. 
This whole experience has been so surreal. Sometimes it's hard to comprehend that I have an actual child, and that I grew it in my womb. It's mind boggling.
I really have never been happier in my whole life. I feel like I'm living my dream. The dream I've been dreaming since I was a little girl, of having my own family and my own home. Sometime I feel like I'm just playing house. I love it!
