These past few days have been challenging but have been filled with some of the most amazing moments of my life. This time last week I gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, everyone who knows me will know that I longed to have a daughter, and from the day I found out we were expecting our 3rd, I prayed every night for a girl, and God blessed us with one. It has been hard not having my hubby here to help me out with our 3 kids for the past few days but my parents have been such a huge help and so supportive, words can only minutely express the joy I feel. The love that surrounds me is undeniable and I am truly happy and blessed. Happy one week Zaharlyn, your entrance into this world could not have been more perfect. ❤️

• 6 DAYS POSTPARTUM • Still recovering, it's taking longer for me to recover than what I did w my second baby, they say the more children you have the worst the afterpains get 😞 so true! I've had natural births with all my kids and the afterpains with baby number 3 are by far the worst! Felt like I was still in labour 😩 they've eased down now but from the day Zaharlyn was born, afterpains were really bad until Wednesday just gone. Still getting the cramping in my abdomen, boobs are so sore and engorged, back is still killing me and I feel like an old lady when I'm walking 😭 but other than that, its just the cramping, back pain and sore boobs, everything else is fine lol water birth works wonders! 😉 so hard not having hubby here to help me out with our 3 kids though, cannot wait to fully heal and go home! #postpregnancy #6dayspostpartum #postpartum #postbabybody #missmybabybump #babymama #motherhood #mumlife #joysofpostpregnancy

🌸 Don't be bitter, be better 🌸 Don't let bitter people drag you down to their level. Instead, use their behaviour as an example of how not to behave, and be grateful you are nothing like them. Just pray for them. 😀✌🏽️ #qotd #dontbebitterbebetter #wednesdaymotivation #somepplwillneverchange #riseabovenegativity #alofapeaiai

💜 CHAPTER 3 OF 12 💜

Laying in bed as I’m writing this, or typing this I should say, I am grateful and thankful for how this year is going so far. We are in March already and it feels like it was only a couple of weeks ago that we celebrated this new year! Today marks the first day of autumn (here in NZ) and omg I must say I am loving this cool weather today after the hot summer we had, especially being pregnant in summer! Anyways, today also marks chapter 3 of 12, and I am so super excited for this month is my due date!! Eeek!! 😬

I am so happy with life and with where I’m at, also with my family as well. Couldn’t be any more happier with where we are and for the new faces we have met, the new friends we have made here in the beautiful Bay, the awesome church we attend and the many opportunities we have. Moving here was one of the best decisions my husband and I have made as a family and we are grateful for all the support we have had and continue to get. All glory to God! ❤️

This year is a fresh start for us and it is definitely going to be a year of blessings and challenges. Hubby has now started bible school which is two nights a week, which will be this year and in 2017, and in four weeks time we’ll have another member in our family so it will be challenging for us, but we will make it work! 😊

So I look forward to what God has in store for us for the rest of the year, and what the rest of the chapters of my journey will bring. Positivity is key!

Sincerely Robyn xx

5 weeks & 6 days till you arrive! 💕

Dear baby,

Mama is now 34 weeks and 1 day preggers with you. It has been an amazing journey so far, yes I know you don’t mean to keep mama up some nights and I know you don’t mean to kick me and prod at me all the time, I understand you are running out of room in there. I think back to when I just found out I was going to have you, I’m sorry I cried because mummy and daddy weren’t expecting to have another baby any time soon, but even if we didnt plan it, God did (: and we are so grateful and thankful for you, because you are such a beautiful blessing who we are going to meet very soon xox You are worth all the morning (all day) sickness I went through, you are worth all the back pain I get daily, you are worth the sleepless nights I have had, you are worth the food I have had to refuse, the wine I have had to give up, the activities I have had to put on hold, the tiredness and lack of energy, because what I get in return is far more precious than any of that, I get you! (: Despite the dissapearing waistline and expanding belly and widening of my hips, mama would like to say thank you for staying in there all this time, thank you for giving mama beautiful skin during pregnancy, thank you for not letting mama want to eat anything and everything, thank you for this beautiful glow you have given me, thank you for a beautiful baby bump, thank you for working with mamas body in order for you to grow healthily inside there, thank you for the laughs whenever I look down at my belly and see you dancing in there. In less than 5 weeks & 6 days, mummy and daddy will get to meet you, and so will your two big brothers and grandparents, aunties and uncles and cousins, we are all so excited for your arrival. Some time soon mama is going to have to go through some very bad pain in order for you to make your entrance into this world, but the pain that I will endure will not compare to the joy that’s coming. I promise you that God will bring you safely into this world. We have been praying for you through out this pregnancy, and we have faith that you will be born a healthy beautiful baby. It has been one of the most powerful blessings to have another life grow inside of me, and I am going to miss it so much having you in there when you are out, so I also promise to make the most of it while you are still nice and cosy inside. So for now, just sit tight for another few weeks and enjoy dancing in mummys tummy, and then we can enjoy cuddles and kisses when you are finally here.

I love you baby ❤️❤️❤️

Don't let yourself go

I've always been the type of person to take pride in my appearance, call me vain or whatever but that's the way I grew up, as long as I can remember...haha I was always a tidy kid and always kept my room tidy and clean, always kept myself tidy and clean, I think I was in my first year in Intermediate when I started using lip balm and lip gloss haha and from that time on I have always carried lippy with me, never leave the house without it cos I don't like the look and feeling of dry lips lol! and it stayed that way right through till college and up until now, oh.. not just the part about the lippy lol but everything else. I am forever cleaning my already spotless house and always keeping my house tidy, I like to look good and just look after my self, and not only looking after my own hygiene but I always make sure my kids are kept clean and tidy also, even though it is a bit difficult at times with them being their ages (3 & 2) because they just love to make a mess! But even with my own hubby, before we got married I made sure he was always keeping his room tidy and clean and most importantly himself lol made it clear to him that I don't put up with untidyness and that's what he would have to pick up as a habit if he were to live with me haha! So yes, when we got married I did teach him how to clean the house, how to do chores around the house, how to hang the washing the way I want hahaha and so on. I've always liked to take care of myself, my personal hygiene, my appearance. I grew up disliking untidyness and uncleanliness, because my parents raised me to not be untidy and always be hygienic, so to this day I just can't stand untidy places and people tbh (to be honest) lol. In college I was a gym freak and exercised daily, I maintained a good figure and always made sure my appearance was neat and tidy, you would never see me at school with messy hair and a dirty uniform and dirty shoes, but that's just the way I was. Before hubby and I got married, I told him that when we do get married, I don't want to be one of those couples who use marriage as an excuse to get fat and ugly, and I'm being serious lol told him that I don't want us to 'let go' of ourselves and be like some couples who get married and then just not care about their appearance. We've been together almost 7 years and married 4 years and a bit, and 2 kids later (3rd on the way), I can honestly say that I am happy with where we are, I am happy with where I am, and proud! Yes our bodies have been like a yo-yo the last four years with our weight going up and down, but even when I weighed my heaviest, almost 90 kgs, yes 90 kgs, which is actually really heavy and unhealthy for a person my height (5.4 ft) I still took pride in my appearance and learnt how to add fitness into my daily routine and eventually shed the weight slowly but healthily. I helped hubby too because he did gain a lot of weight and wasn't happy with his body, he would lose it but then he wouldn't stick to the healthy lifestyle and found it hard to adjust to it, so that failed most times, guess he also found it hard to be motivated lol but I never gave up on him and reassured him I'd always be here to help him with weight loss and fitness and that we can work out together and motivate each other once I have given birth and recovered lol. It doesn't matter what relationship status you are in, what age you are, how many kids you have, don't let that define you or hold you back! You can still take pride in your appearance and dress up and rock a pair of stilettos and a nice dress, you can still wear makeup and do yourself up even if you are just staying home haha you can still make yourself look good and look good for your man even if he doesn't do the same, who cares! With my current situation (8 months pregnant) I am so damn happy for myself for maintaining a healthy weight and I can honestly say that this pregnancy is most probably the best I have looked! I don't want to brag, I have carried very well with my pregnancies and instead of gaining weight, I always lose weight, but with this pregnancy I feel sexy and confident and have taken such good care of myself the past 8 months. I think as a woman, if you ever get pregnant and go on to have a successful pregnancy, it's important to not let yourself go because some women do use pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy and untidy and to not look good anymore. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and women need to embrace that, and still take pride in your appearance at the same time. I always like to look good for hubby even if we have been together for years, but not just for him but for myself, I still wear heels and still dress up when/if we ever go out or just going to church I love to wear a nice outfit with nice shoes and my face beat with makeup and hair done nicely, I still take selfies almost every day even with a big belly cos that ain't gonna stop me from loving the camera lol! I still post selfies every week haha and like to show off my bump. But that's just me! So to all the ladies, if I can still feel sexy and confident being 8 months pregnant and still be able to look after myself and my personal appearance, whilst having two toddlers to raise as well, then you can too! Stop making excuses, stop letting go of yourself and start taking pride in your appearance, I'm not saying to build yourself up with so much self-pride because that's not a good thing lol but at least with your appearance have some, and set standards for yourself, and if you already do, then that's great! Haha but if you don't feel sexy and confident, then do something about it! Learn to love yourself inside and out and respect your body and remember, You are beautiful! 😘 Sincerely Robyn ❤️

33 WEEK BUMP UPDATE 💞

So I am now 33 weeks and 1 day pregnant, estimated arrival: 6 weeks and 6 days! ☺️ My baby is as big as a durian and should weigh around 4.2 - 5.8 pounds.

Symptoms are pretty much the same, over heated, headaches, shortness of breath, dizziness now and then, tiredness, aching back, more braxton hicks contractions, still getting lots of kicks and jabs in belly, trouble sleeping some nights, but have also been feeling a bit nauseous and fatigued lately which is apparently normal when coming towards the end.

I haven’t really been eating much in this third trimester, compared to second trimester where I feel I had more energy and felt more alive lol but I’m still trying my best to drink plenty of water and okay I don’t really eat veges, never really have but still eating lots of fruit.

My baby bump is still small and hasn’t drastically changed or gotten much bigger, in fact this is the smallest I have carried out of my children (not complaining hehe) but I can definitely feel that there isn’t much space in there for baby as I feel like I run out of breath more easily now and always getting kicks and jabs in the ribs.

I’ve been feeling really exhausted lately so I always try to have a nap during the day while the kids are at pre school. Haven’t really been doing exercise lately either unless you count house chores, getting kids ready every morning, and doing the washing every day as exercise haha! Have been going for walks now and then but noticed that every time I’ll go for a walk now, I end up with such bad braxton hicks afterwards and just feel so uncomfortable.

As of now, I am actually happy to say I do not have any stretchmarks from this pregnancy lol! Yes, us mothers should all be proud of our tiger stripes, but I have tried my best to not get any with this one and it has worked, thanks to the amazing coco butter formula moisturising cream for stretchmarks that I have been using. My boobs are still the same size too, lol, as to what they were pre pregnancy. They won’t be big until baby is out, I know because it happened with my first two kids.

How am I feeling about labour and child birth? Okay so when I was pregnant with my first born, I was actually keen on having a natural birth and was 100% sure I did not want the epidural because I actually wanted to experience the pain and see what it was like unmedicated, I couldn’t even take the gas when I was in labour and thank God it was a short labour and I didn’t have to push for long, even though at the time it felt like forever. That was the same with my second child, natural and unmedicated but an even shorter labour and he was out after only 5 minutes of pushing! 🙌🏽 Well after giving birth to my first two, I said to my husband I’d happily do it all over again, but now that the time is drawing nearer for this baby’s arrival, I have to admit I am a tad scared! I don’t know why as I have already done it before, but I think it’s just knowing that I will soon be going through that pain again. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain but child birth is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done, but all well worth it in the end.

Other than that, hubby and I are just so eager beaver to meet baby, we have decided on a name already too, and we are counting down the weeks and days left till our bundle of joy arrives 😊 but at the same time I am making the most of this pregnancy and embracing every moment because I know once baby is out, I know I’m going to miss my baby bump and miss these kicks and jabs! X

❤️ THE GIFT OF LIFE ❤️

Lying here with my protruding 32 week baby belly, I look back to the day the pregnancy test turned positive, I can remember it so clearly like it was yesterday. No, my husband and I had not planned on having another baby, in fact we had planned that our two kids were enough and even convinced ourselves we definitely were not ready for another child any time soon and that I was not going to fall pregnant any time soon. Well… How very wrong were we?! Hahaha it’s quite funny actually thinking about it now, because I admit when I took that test, and those 10 seconds you have to wait for the results to show up, in my head I was saying no I’m not pregnant, please God I’m not ready… And boom! Two lines on the pregnancy test, by this time I am just staring at those two lines quite shocked really lol and thinking this can’t be, no, I made plans, I have things I want to accomplish.. with the realisation that this was all very real and that we were going to have another baby within the next 9, well actually 10 months.

The first 4-5 months of pregnancy were horrid! I was constantly sick as a dog with morning sickness, more like all day sickness! And I experienced this with my first two kids so I was well aware of this happening well before the morning sickness started to kick in. It made me hate being pregnant, because I just felt weak, tired, yucky and just horrible. I lost a huge amount of weight within those first 5 months which okay I do admit that’s one of the perks of my pregnancies haha! After the all day sickness had subsided I was back to feeling alive and eating burgers, fries, chocolate and drinking fizzys which no isn’t really too good.

Fast forward to now, I am currently 8 months preg with approximately 8 weeks left to go before our 3rd child makes it’s grand entrance into this world. And… We are actually over the moon super excited to meet our little bubba! ☺️

Apart from the nausea and vomiting I get in the first few months of pregnancy, I am grateful and very blessed, maybe a tad lucky hehe to have healthy pregnancies, and be lighter than my pre pregnancy weight haha lose weight, and have amazing skin lol! I can still do chores around my house, get my kids ready for pre-school, bend down and tie my shoe laces lol and carry small with my babies. This would be the smallest I have carried out of my kids, most people would not have even guessed that I am due next month! Thanks to my mum’s genes! 😉

My cravings? Oh my, they change everyday! Or I’ll get hubby to go buy me something because I think it’s what I want, just to end up not eating it or finishing it, and he does get a bit annoyed with that at times haha. I mostly crave a nice cold bottle of Coca Cola, or an energy drink like V-drink, but I try my best to stay away from that. I still can’t really stand beef burgers, I like chicken burgers or a fish burger now and then. I eat a lot of sweet stuff.. But I already did before I got preggers..oops I love my fruit but my faves with this summer season would be watermelon, yum!! And nectarines 😍👌🏼 I’ve been craving chops lately too with mint marinated sauce OMG!! I don’t have any weird cravings though, like sniffing laundry powder and dish washing liquid like I did with my second baby Zethan lol, yeap things can get pretty weird like that with pregnancies, but most days I’ll always be craving something different than the day before, which I also find annoying myself lol.

Have I mentioned how emotional I get during pregnancy? I am an emotional person but my gosh it’s worse during pregnancy! I cried because I couldnt button up my fave jeans lol one minute I could be happy joy joy and laughing my butt off, and next minute I could be having a nut at my poor hubby for giving me a hug! Yes, you heard right, GIVING me a hug! Hahaha I’m so sorry babe I swear it’s only my hormonal changes with this pregnancy lol 😘

One thing I absolutely find annoying during pregnancy is the constant trips to the loo to empty your bladder every 5 minutes!! 😩 especially when you just need that good night’s sleep but you know that’s not going to happen. It is honestly hard work being preggers, there are sacrifices you have to make, like not having wine for 9 months lol! But I don’t mind that as I am not much of a drinker anyway. Oh and when you reach your third trimester, you get lack of sleep and almost every day I am sleep deprived, not to mention the back aches and the braxton hicks, the jabs in your ribs, the headaches and the list goes on, but one thing I love is feeling them kick or have hiccups for the first time! 😍 at first they feel like flutters, and as your pregnancy progresses they start to get harder and sore haha! But you know what? If you think about how a womans body can go through all of that for 40 weeks, having another little human inside growing, it’s so bloody amazing and such a blessing to be able to bare children and bring a child into this world! And us mothers have to be grateful for that, because there are so many women and couples out there who can’t even get pregnant and long to have children of their own. So despite the downsides like lack of sleep and the tiredness and morning sickness, the waddling, your clothes getting tight and not being able to wear your fave outfit or jeans, not being able to shave your legs properly, all the pain we go through during pregnancy, and during labor and child birth, I have no one but God to thank for allowing me to be able to carry and have my own children. The gift of life is a blessing and our children are our greatest accomplishments.

Be content & happy in life 💜

We’ve all had that feeling before, that feeling of knowing that you have everything to be grateful and thankful for: whether it be a great significant other, a loving family, great circle of friends, a good job, beautiful home, and a healthy working body. Still, you keep having this nagging feeling that what you have just isn’t enough. Sure, you can be happier by making some life changes, but one thing I have learnt and realised is that the easiest way to be content and happy with myself, my life, is to just adjust my perspective and daily actions, by doing this you are more likely to appreciate what you have.

Live in the present

🔽

Instead of being stuck in the past,holding unnecessary grudges, and having negative thoughts, just enjoy and embrace the present moment and try not to obsess over what the future will look like. Yes, thinking of the past helps us to learn from the mistakes that were made, and yes, thinking of the future can help you to set goals, but if you want to be truly happy, then take time to enjoy exactly what you’re doing right now. Stop worrying and focus on what the day will bring you instead of thinking about what happened yesterday, or what you’ll be able to change about tomorrow.

Be grateful

🔽

Be grateful for what you have, instead of focusing on all the things you don’t have or all of the things you want. Think about how lucky you are compared to most people out there, like people starving in the most poorest countries in the world, they have nothing, and people living in the most corrupt countries in the world. Your life may not be perfect in the moment, but surely there are some things that you can be very grateful for, whether it’s your loving family, your beautiful kids, your better half, supportive parents, healthy stable marriage, the awesome city you live in, the church you attend, or that great job you have. Remind yourself every single day to be grateful for these things you do have.

Spend more time to yourself and also take the time to thank those who are always there for you. Spend more time in nature, this will make you feel more grateful for the beauty all around you.

Appreciate the little things

🔽

Be thankful for the strength you are blessed with to wake up everyday and get out of bed in the mornings. Be thankful for the air you breathe, the food and clean water that nourishes you, the roof over your head, the clothes on your back, and the beautiful sunshine and the beautiful stars in the sky at night. Every little detail in your life counts. Focus on those little things and be thankful that you are still alive.

Take time to reflect

🔽

A lot of people aren’t content with their lives because they don’t take the time to sit back and consider everything that’s going on. You could do this by writing in a journal, posting in your blog, praying and talking to God, going for walks to decompress, or just by sitting and listening to music to soothe your soul. Making a habit of reflecting will help you think rationally when problems arise and keep you from being blind-sided by problems that are lurking in your life.

Don’t compare yourself to others

🔽

This is another way that people can keep themselves from being truly happy with their lives. Stop thinking about how flash your neighbor’s house is, how flash your cousin’s car is, or how great your friend’s job is. There will always be someone richer, healthier, prettier, more handsome, happier, but don’t let those things hold you back from being happy, just don’t look at what they have and start looking at what you have and worry about your own life. You’ll only be doing yourself a favor by dropping comparing completely.

Feel true compassion for others

🔽

Part of being happy means building connections with other people. Healthy and good connections that is. Recognizing that other people are also sufferring and have their own problems.

Happiness is a choice

🔽

Happiness cannot determine how much money you earn, or even with material things in life. It is a choice to be happy, despite what life may bring. Be happy with who you are, love yourself and respect yourself. Wake up every morning and remind yourself that today you are going to choose joy and happiness.

Pursue your passion

🔽

Spend time doing the things you love and you’ll feel content with your life. Make it a habit. Be happy with what you have, stop insisting on having the best. Take time to connect with people, whether it’s a family member, a good friend, your significant other, your mum or dad. Stop making excuses, no one is too busy to have some sort of social life. Take time to have meaningful conversations with your partner/spouse and don’t take them for granted.

Make changes if necessary

🔽

Think about the things in your life that are blocking you from moving forward and being truly happy. Things that are in the way of your happiness. It could be your job, a terrible relationship that you are in, the people you hang out with, broken friendships, or someone who you were once close to or never really got along with, if that is the case then it may be time to cut ties. It may be your body, your weight, if it is then it may be time to invest in a healthier routine for yourself.

Help others, love yourself, try new things, enjoy failures, learn from past mistakes, forgive others and surround yourself with people who will lift you up, not people who will say negative things to you and try and bring you down just to make themselves feel better. Surround yourself with those who you love and who love you back. Surround yourself with people who are good influences and who are happy too and who don’t compete with others. People who will inspire you and challenge you are always the best people to be around, people who will make you better and motivate you. If you let go of all the wrong people in your life, you will be content and happy, and eventually the right people will show up.

I am very happy, content, grateful, thankful and blessed ❤️

Sincerely, Robyn xx

Love your parents ❤️

One thing I have learnt in life, is to love my parents, no matter what. They are the two most inspirational people in my life who brought me up and raised me well, fed me, nurtered me, took care of me, helped me, encouraged me, disciplined me, and loved me even when I disobeyed them at times during my teen years and growing up. They have taught me a lot and have always been by my side. I truly don't know what I would do without them. Growing up was tough at times, during my teen years that is, because my parents were very strict, mainly my dad. When I was in college I never attended friends parties, went out drinking, hung out places late at night with friends, and being the baby of the family, my dad always kept an eye on me. I admit that I hated it at times because I wanted to do this and that, just like most teenagers, but when I think about it now, I am grateful that I was not allowed to just do whatever I wanted, who knows where I would be or how I would have ended up if I had freedom back then. I am grateful that my parents had discipline within our household. And I too will also raise my own children with discipline. Fast forward to this day, I am 25 with my own little growing family and my parents still give me advice and are forever encouraging me and supporting me and my family. My dad still spoils me at times and always helps out with my family and I when he can. They continuously share with us and talk to us about how to run our family, living the christian life, and to always put God first, and we don't mind that at all, we love it when they talk to us about these things because no matter what we think of our parents, they are always right. I will forever love my parents and respect them because they gave my siblings and I a good life, they worked their butts off when we were little to look after us and to make sure we had a good future. My parents are one of the most hard working people I know and they always have been. They love their grandchildren and are awesome grandparents. Not only are they great parents/grandparents, but they are great pastors too. We get so caught up in life and so busy with growing up that we often forget our parents are also growing old, so cherish the time you have with your parents, appreciate them, respect them but most of all, love them.❤️ Ephesians 6:1-4 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. 2 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment accompanied by a promise, namely, 3 "that it may go well with you and that you will live a long time on the earth." 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but raise them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

How people treat other people is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves. If anyone says negative comments to you, ignore the immaturity and smile at them, cos confidence is silent, but insecurities are loud. Cut off shitty friends without apology 2016. Keep doing you, keep moving on and stay happy, they'll see it 😉 Happy Friyay!
