Hello Again,
So to start of my blogging I thought I would do a bit of a tag before I get back into the product reviewing. Just thought it would be something fun and chill to do. If you have a daughter/son and would love to do the tag then feel free to and don't forget to let me know you've done it so I can check it out. Further or do here's the "Mum Tag".
- How old were you when you had your first child? I was 20 when I had my first and only child.
- What was the hardest thing about being pregnant for 9 months? I think the hardest thing was actually feel drained all the time and not wanting to leave my bed (unless it was for McDonalds which was my craving through the whole 9 months). I felt drained 24/7. Oh and also needing to pee every five chuffing minutes.
- Can you think of any good things you enjoyed during those 9 months? Oh yes. Best thing was going to the scans and getting to see the baby and then on my 20 weeks scan finding out I was having a girl. Also I really enjoyed feeling her move/kick about.
- In your opinion, were all the things you heard about childbirth accurate or way off? I've heard many things about child birth like "oh it was so easy I don't see why other women moan about it" or I heard the totally opposite like " It was horrendous.....the pain was horrible and there was blood everywhere.....blah blah blah". To be honest they both kind of right giving birth isn't pretty and I don't expect it to seeming as you have a human being coming out of your floo, but honestly its the most amazing, beautiful thing a mother and father could experience.
- Would you have handled childbirth differently if you could re-do it? I wouldn't change my birth no....to be totally honest I handled it better then I thought I would and I'm very proud of myself to be honest.
- What would be your advice for someone who is about to have a baby? During pregnancy don't go too mad on baby clothes (like I did). Make sure you have different options of sizes like tiny baby, newborn and 0-3 months as you don't know how big the baby is gonna be but do make sure you have a few sizes ready as baby will grow really quick and also make sure you have all the important stuff like a pram, car seat (as baby isn't aloud to leave the hospital unless he/she is in one), moses basket or cot, bath, nappies ect. When packing your hospital bag make sure you pack different sizes too as like I said you wont know how big the baby is until you have him/her. Also don't panic too much, birth is hard yes and I wouldn't lie about that but once you've popped that beautiful baby girl/boy out you will soon meet the love of your life and nothing else in the room will matter in them few minutes apart from the baby.
- What has been the hardest thing about being a mom? I think the hardest thing for me was adjusting to the nightly feeds. I was always scared I wouldn't hear her cry or I wasn't feeding her enough in the nights.
- What has been the most rewarding thing about being a mom? the most rewarding thing about being a mum is watching my little girl learn and grow so much. Also making memories with her and just being proud of those little moments like her holding her bottle for the first time or watching her sit by herself for a few second's.
- What was the most surprising thing you discovered about being a mom? I think its how much attention one tiny baby needs. Before I had my daughter I thought a newborn baby always sleep so they won't need as much attention but honestly you need to constantly check on them to make sure they are okay, if they haven't pulled the blanket over themselves or been sick....make sure there bums are cleaned....that they are fed when they cry.....now that my daughter is older she plays meaning I can have that 5-10 minutes doing what I want or to clean the house. Also she's eating baby food now meaning she's not always on the bottle as much meaning the milk powder lasts a little longer, she's full for longer....it just gets a little easier when they get older I think.
- What is the best memory you have involving your child? Well my daughter is only 6 months so obviously we don't have many memories as of yet but my best memorie with her is when I first hold her in my arms and her tiny eyes just starred at me.......gosh my heart melted.
- What was the most exciting milestone? When she sat up by herself.....it was only for about 5-6 seconds but I was so proud of her....there's lots of milestones to come yet and im so excited for them.
- What is the worst thing your child has ever done? Pulled my hair....ouch that hurts.
- What habit did you wish your child didn’t have? She doesn't really have any habits as of yet but I know for a fact she will end up having one.
- What habit of theirs makes you most proud? As I said she doesn't really have any habits as of yet.
- Do you share any similarities with your child (both Physical and Personality)? She always wants to be the center of attention, when I was a little girl I was the same haha.
- Where would you like your child to be in 10 years? In school being well behaved and polite.
- What is something that having a child has taught you? That no matter what in life family always comes first and family will always be there for you more then any friend will.
- Did you imagine that you’d be a mom at the age that you became a mom? Honestly no...it literally happened out of no where...I thought id be at least 24-25 when I had my first child.
- Describe your child in a single sentence? cute, beautiful, funny, happy, strong, intelligent.
- How have you changed as a person since becoming a mom? I think I've became more mum like. Before having my daughter I was so lazy...I would never clean up anything...now I make sure the flat is clean and food is on the table for my partner for when he comes home from work.....I've also matured a lot too...I use to act like a right child at the age of 18-19 (baring in mind I do have ADHD) but now I'm more sensible and don't get into trouble anymore.
