  4. Nearly over!

Nearly over!

Journal date: 1 July 2008

This is my first blog entry and although kaitlyn is nearly one i thought "seeing as ive joined i might as well share".

As ive already said kaitlyn is fast approaching one and its dawning on me.....my first year of motherhood is almost up!
I feel disappointed, i was diagonised with PDN when kaitlyn was 2 months old but know i had it from when she was 2 weeks old.
I feel i missed so many months with being upset, being in my own little bubble!
i actually dont remember those preciouse first months,which i find upsetting as for the last 2 months i feel fantastic (i took myself off my anti-depressants and have felt better then ever,please dont take yourself off your tablets without consulting a docotor, im naughty and will be going to hell lol)

whats concerning me the most is what do i describe kaitlyn as after her birthday,shes not walking independantly as of yet,so is she classed as a toddler or will she still be a baby. In my eyes a toddler is a child whos not long started walking and baby is under the age of one.
But if she aint walking i cant call her my baby, in my eyes she hasnt been a baby for a long time, shes got such a personality so i call her my little girl. Maybe i should just go with that until she walks....my little girl!
Also what the hell do you buy a one year old for their birthday....? toys....already got !! clothes.....got wayyy to many of them.....hmm......ive got 27 days from today to decided! 😕

:wave: welcome to JP

How about a pop up tent for your daughter's birthday? or some blocks (great for hand eye coordination) The baby Enstein DVDs/CDs/books are great aswell.

Hope you find her something
