It’s wonderful to hear how your life-changing journey is so fulfilling to you, klutfy. In just 3 weeks, I’ve found inspiration, delight, joy and major positivity from the whole experience. Sleepless nights and nappy changes, who cares? I’ve been tired, but it’s totally worth it!

I’d liken it to starting the first year of uni. No matter how much you prepare for the experience, you’ll constantly find all sorts of unexpected episodes to amaze and impress you.

Congratulations for the wonderful adventure! I would call it so, because you can never imagine what is going to happen after the birth. People tell you a lot, but just after baby is born you can gradually understand the road you have just undertaken.

We are having our baby for about 15 months now and it is still an unpredictible adventure each day and night. We just learned to live with her, letting her to teach us about life, and enjoying every single day and moment.

It is a great and courageous experience, which could be compared to a masters’ thesis. You need to read as much as for your exam, however, it often happens that you simply read after the “exam”.

Congratulations on your new addition! Great advice as usual, I’ve missed your posts these past few weeks. I would add that small children usually get over setbacks pretty quickly; they usually don’t dwell on the negative very long. They can be crying one minute and over it and laughing two minutes later (I know Rowan’s not quite there yet!).

BTW, I love the name Rowan!
