After my appointment with the naturopath, little M and I went to the health food store where I bought some vitamins for me and a hazel wood necklace for him. The last couple of days, people have been commenting on his rosy cheeks and how he must be teething. If this is round three, then I might as well try a hazel wood necklace in addition to the amber necklace he already wears. I do think that the amber has helped to some degree, and most likely the hazel wood will too.
Now, here I am going on about teething when all I meant to do was write a little about my visit to the naturopath. When I think about it though, a mother’s health is often altered by sleepless nights caused by teething, amongst other things. This is part of what it means to be a mother, however it is vital to take time for one’s self even if it is just one hour, a few times a week. Taking time for me means leaving my to do list at home, and enjoying something as simple as a cappuccino in a cafe or a picturesque run, sans baby. I am now beginning to understand the value of this. My visit to the naturopath is part of my quest in restoring balance to my life as a mother.
On that note, bonne nuit!
