Pregnancy Brain

Got up to make coffee and toast.

Bread goes into the toaster, coffee is made to perfection and carried back to bed where i fall asleep instantly...

3 hours later

Wake up to a completely cold and untouched mug of coffee. I get up to make a second attempt, only to realise that i never had toast. I lool over at the toaster and see the bread just standing naked in the toaster.. still bread...

Wish me luck for round 2 🤣🤣

Wtf is "Nesting"?!

Apparently at 17weeks 4 days, Nesting refers to washing EVERYTHING, throwing away EVERYTHING and organising... you guessed it: EVERYTHING.

I feel like its way too early to be feeling this crazy and motivated all at once.

An open letter to my sweetheart

I met you for the first time in my last year of school. It was after school at the bus stop, in the pouring rain and I was literally emptying rain water out of my converse boots. You had a girlfriend who liked my shoes and after that day you’d both wave to me in the school corridors. I used to call you “rain guy” and you called me “rain girl” :) We stayed in touch over social media but only ever a “happy birthday”, “how’re you going” kinda thing and one time I was invited to a birthday party for you but I was out of state. I had my own life… I was 16/17 struggling in a long distance relationship which I though was going to be forever, but it was breaking me down mentally and physically. He was emotionally abusive. Dumped me for no reason and then came crying back in a tortured soul impersonation, over and over again and I fell for it ever damn time. It broke me. My sister played me a Taylor swift song the last time it happened. You know, the one about never getting back together? She cured me of him and his toxicity. I moved on. You checked in with me. Wanted to know how I was going at college. Casually got my number and then began texting me. I talked about what I wanted from a partner, how I was scared to waste time anymore. It seems funny to be thinking about running out of time at 18. I had barely lived. And then out of the blue you told me you could be the one and we wouldn’t know unless we tried. I was scared but I took the risk. I fell for you and you fell for me. I cried when I told you for the first time because I just wanted to be loved back by you more than anything. You held me and smiled and said you loved me to. We moved quickly, you made me a life promise that I often look back on and think was a huge decision that would be a heavy burden to carry. Not because loving someone till the end is a burden, but loving someone unconditionally from such a young age is hard. We both changed. We both kept on loving. Coming to terms with change is difficult, standing by someone’s side when they grow up gives you whiplash. They don’t know where they’re going so how the hell do you expect them to tell you first? When I thought of us as a commitment I didn’t know what that meant. I hadn’t even scratched the surface. I’ll love you as you change. I’ll love the person the 18 year old me fell in love with and the man who stands before me here today. Your own self. You have a strength that only ever came from you and it leaves me completely in awe of you. It takes a big heart to make room for expected changes. I love you, the changes that are still to come, and the person you are tomorrow. I promise

Study Tip 1

Sit in the first row. I know, I know. I know what you’re thinking. You’ll be labeled the class nerd. Teachers will ask you questions. You won’t be able to gossip or sleep in class.

But guess what. You come in class to study, not sleep or gossip. Teachers ask more questions from the people in the back than the front. And nobody cares where you sit in class.

Sitting at the front helped me so much in so many ways. I get easily distracted but sitting at the front with nothing but the stage and the teacher and the slides in front of you, it’s hard to get distracted. As a result I focused much better in class. Also, some teachers remember you as the kid who sits at the front and that has it’s own countless perks.

Try it once, if not way at the front then second and third row are good options too. If you’re easily distracted like me then this is a good way to keep yourself focused in class.

This was always my rule, I made a point of always sitting up front. It's a way of holding yourself accountable by not getting distracted and its also just respectful to your lecturer who puts significant time into the session.

There are three rules.

1. If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it. 

2. If you do not ask, the answer will always be no. 

3. If you do not step forward, you will remain in the same place.
