My name isn't just Mama, it's Beth too

It's true what they say. Becoming a mother really does change your life. It changes your priorities, emotions, your whole life.

I've talked about the importance of self care on my blog but it really does help, just to give you back that all important 'you' time. One thing I have discovered since becoming a mum is that there just is little time to pamper, especially with a newborn, time literally vanishes. This may sound silly or vein to some of you but before having Freddie I used to get my brows, lashes and nails done reguarly. Now he's older it's a lot easier to go and have these treatments done (or he can have some snuggle time with Granny). I cannot tell you how good it makes me feel. I feel much more myself. I don't feel like the woman who has baby sick down her jeans, looks like a zombie and has used nearly half a can of dry shampoo in a week. I feel like Beth again. I don't think their is anything wrong with reminding yourself who you were before your baby came into the world.

I adore being Freddie's mama, I can't imagine him not being here, however I am also a girlfriend, a blogger, a sister, a daughter, a grandaughter, a nursery nurse, a friend. I am just adjusting my life into motherhood and that's ok.

Happy mum equals happy baby.
