Dear Ameli – Letter to A Two Year Old
| October 4, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli I’ve started this letter to you so many times already, and keep deleting what I’ve written because what I’m writing just doesn’t quite match up to the intensity I’m feeling. This has been a full-on month in our story. You are two years old. We had a birthday party for you at home.… more
Setting Up A Toddler Room

Well, from the back of the room somewhere, I can just about hear a voice going, “So what’s the big deal? It’s not like you’ve never done this before!†And that would be rather the point. We have never done this before. We did try to set up a nursery. I painted Peter Pan pictures,… more
Happy Christmas! Baby’s first…

Okay, I know… To Ameli, this was just another day, but for us, it was lovely. We woke around 9am, probably the last time we’ll get to sleep that late on Christmas day for some time, and dressed her in her Christmas dress. more
Contented Christmas
| December 20, 2009 | Posted by Luschka under Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
So there I was, hair done, make-up on, feet becoming reacquainted with heels, handbag at the ready and putting my little girl down from her final feed. Pick up my phone to check the time, and notice a message. Listen in anticipation. Girls’ night out is a bust. Something’s come up with one, the other… more
On Red Tape and Checklists
| December 2, 2009 | Posted by Luschka under Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
A few weeks ago, Ameli and I returned to our embassy to register her birth and request her passport. After the madness of our first trip, I was well prepared for this one. Forms completed and signed, photographs taken, passports, birth certificates, marriage certificate, a bottle of expressed milk, nappies, a book to read… what… more
Growing Days
| December 1, 2009 | Posted by Luschka under Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
Things have been really busy in our little family the last few weeks. We seem to be settled in to our new roles of father, mother and baby, and by the looks of things, we’re all adapting to these roles quite well. I can’t believe that Ameli is 8 weeks old already, and the changes… more
A Plethora of Firsts
| October 30, 2009 | Posted by Luschka under Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
Ameli has really been enjoying many firsts the last couple of days! Isn’t it sad, in its own way, that we can experience so many new things in such a short space of time, and yet we don’t remember any of the emotions we felt at these experiences? Imagine the awe involved in moving from… more
Special Moments
| May 15, 2009 | Posted by Luschka under Milestone Moments, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
Baby, I wanted to share, to record, some special moments. Things that happened while you were still growing inside me, so that I will remember them later on, perhaps when things get difficult, or other days, when I just need a reminder of all the reasons I have to smile. more
Baby,
I wanted to share, to record, some special moments. Things that happened while you were still growing inside me, so that I will remember them later on, perhaps when things get difficult, or other days, when I just need a reminder of all the reasons I have to smile.
