Realisations and Conclusions

Happy Weekend everybody! How is everyone's weekend so far? It's sunday, rest day here today. We were meant to go to the baby shop and buy baby K's high chair but we thought we'll do it tomorrow instead. She's turning 5 months next week and I thought I'd start getting ready for her introduction of solid foods. I'm so excited. I chose to wait until 6 months for her to eat just to be safe. The nurse also advised to wait since she was born a little early. I will be gathering recipes and what not because I'm thinking of making them myself. I'll also buy the ones in the grocery to see what she likes better. I can't wait to give her her first food. When we had lunch earlier, I sat her on my lap because she didn't want to be on her cot. She was happy to be with us in the table. She was tapping the table and was actually trying to reach of my plate and the food. It was funny, and I think she really wants to eat. Few more weeks, and she can taste her first "real" food.

Anyway, last night we went to the movies with some friends to watch The Conjuring. If you're not sure what it is, it's a new horror movie that has been released recently and apparently, it's scary and good. It was scary all right. There's 13 of us and I think I was the only one that got scared. We were seated on the 3rd row, right in front of the big screen because the theatre was packed and I think that's why I was scared. It was right in front of me and it was really big. I think I can't take horror movies anymore. I used to like watching them before but now, it's just different. The plot of the story is good, although I kind of felt like there's something is missing. I feel like the movie is not quite finished yet. Patrick said it was good but not that scary (yeah, right!). The movie finished at 11pm, and so he decided that we should get home. It has been a while since I have been to Wellington city at night. The last time I was there was when we had our work Christmas party. There were a lot of people partying and drinking last night. I sort of miss it in a way but not really. I wanted to party again and have fun like what I used to  when I was in university but at the same time, I wouldn't want to miss baby K. I want to be by her side in every step of the way. That's when I realised how being a mother really changed me. I haven't been in motherhood for so long and I thought I'd really miss everything that I used to do but I don't. I'm happy being at home with my little one. I love watching her achieve her milestones.

There might be some things that you can't do as a parent but for me, I'd rather have it that way. I mean, you can still do it if you really want but for me, it's not that important anymore. Whatever I do, I want her to be with me because it's what makes me happy. I'll choose her over everything else. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
