Life settled, the inital marriage sharing-space-with-another-person-on-a-full-time-basis niggles resolved, we decided to follow the natural progression and have a baby. When it was all just an idea, I had no inkling that life-changing really meant LIFE CHANGING.
Baby Kee came into our world nine and a half months ago and each day since then has been new. We went through the regular sleepless nights, colicky times et al. And then all of a sudden, one fine day she smiled and hasn't stopped since. When she giggles, however bad a yike moment I may be having, its suddenly yipee yipee yipee as I join her in a fit of girlie giggles.
Naively through it all, I have been making plans - plans to exercise, to start my own business, to decorate the house we moved into a month before Kee was born, to see if I can possible develop green fingers now that we have a garden. Clap clap clap well done me.
It is slowly dawning on me that at this moment in time, my life IS being Kee's ma/mommy/mamma. I accept that and it's all chill. Kee's baby days are flying by so quickly and I love witnessing every new thing she does. The house and garden can wait. It's funtime in Kee-land. Yipeeeee!!
The yipitty yikes yipitty yikes of life
Isn't it amazing how many times a day we swing from the yipee branch to the yikes one on the tree of life? More so when you are a parent - it's an emotional, sometimes hormonal, rollercoaster and they say it is entirely normal............ alright then!

'We join thirty spokes

yet it's the center hole
that drives the chariot.'
