First Time Mama

Hi I'm Casey. Married to my best friend and childhood sweetheart. Raising our first child Eliana and expecting our second. Documenting things I love, create, bake and of course, the Sutton Buttons.

I mean, I can remember — when you’re a smart kid, or you’re just a very sensitive kid, and you have a lot that you need to say that’s very important to you, people don’t really take you seriously — I can remember being so frustrated, just constantly to the point of tears. I think the thing that I said most in my life for the first ten years was ‘Just listen to me. Listen.’ And even when I say that now, I always have a little flashback from those years, because I had so much trouble being taken seriously. I can remember people saying, ‘You’re twelve, Fiona,’ and just disregarding everything I had to say. All of my very deep, intense, serious worries and fears and wonders were just kind of disregarded because I was a kid and I was crazy and I was weird.

Honestly, I’m so sick of porn blogs following me. I’ve had 3 follow me in the last 2 weeks! It makes me want to remove any and all pictures of my daughters off the internet. Maybe I will, off of tumblr at least.

Makes me feel ill.

Porn blogs have been pretty much the only new followers on my blog for months. It’s gross, I know, but at least Tumblr has a proper blocking feature now. That aside, this site is getting creepier and less appealing by the day.

You must only be able to find the block feature on desktop? I'll have to dust off the ol' laptop later and have a look.

If you ever come round to my house for a meal expect to eat off of chipped plates and drink out of chipped cups. I am so clumsy that most of our dishes are chipped. Eliana even says to me, “You’re always chipping cups mama!”

But I’m actually amazing. The girls have colds, and so does Danny. Now I probably do too but I’m denying it entirely because then who would care for everyone? Lorelei has been teething and, well ya’ll know what that’s like. So I’ve been caring for 2 sick kids, a teething newborn who won’t sleep, and a sick husband too. Even with all this I still managed to get both girls to sleep, although I give myself imaginary medals for that every night anyway. BUT then I did the dishes with out chipping one single piece of crockery.

I think that deserves a Macs Feijoa and Pear while watching the last season of Gilmore Girls. And some jelly beans for good measure.

I dunno whats funnier - Lorelei intently studying her sleeve, or me watching her do it.

Best meme ever.

The point of Magda’s approach is to provide the foundation that will best serve our children as they enter the larger world, so that we can continue to let go and trust them in an age-appropriate manner. It isn’t about creating the perfect bubble for them to remain in as they grow.

Today Eliana made a hat with her sun shade (‘like Cinderella’s step mother, mama!’ From the new Cinderella movie) and I am in denial about the 2 white buds popping up under Lorelei’s gums. Regardless of how hard she munches on her teething ring or how grizzly she gets.

Lorelei is currently going through a developmental leap! While this means she barely sleeps and doesn't like to be put down it also means she is learning some really fun things. She is figuring out how to grasp things with her hands, and she clearly enjoys kisses, the wind and trees. She is a wee chatterbox and coos at any chance, even in her sleep. She is madly in love with each of her family members and particularly loves to watch Eliana play or dance. She is coming into her character and it is equally scary and exciting to see how fast she is growing.

How any mother does more than just stay on top of things is beyond me 😂😓🙄😪

I’m loving Eliana’s imagination at the moment. You throw a line and she just runs with it! This is her making flower pies, that I suggested doing instead of putting flowers and things in the pool. So she spent most of the afternoon being “The Pie Lady,” gathering ingredients and baking pies for me.

Lil’ tubba. She loves to chat and coo. She’s a real mama’s girl and a boob fanatic - you’ve gotta be to keep up her weight, of course. She's no longer a wee sleepy newborn.

[first-time-mama-blog]

Lorelei is very nearly too big for the bassinet now. She was weighed today and she is 5.8kgs at 7 weeks. Eliana was 6kgs at 8 weeks. I got me some full cream milk, that’s for sure.
