Three years ago, at 1:03PM, our beautiful daughter Akira was born.
Although, it was an intense birth with a few complications, it was nonetheless one of the best experiences of my life.
This day had showed me the strength I have within myself.
I pushed passed barriers, I thought I was never able to.
Ironically, today felt a lot like that.
There were so many times I felt like throwing in the towel.
So many "I can't do this".
BUT it is now 6:11pm and the day has almost come to a close.
Despite being tempted with tasty cakes and fish n' chips, I bravely stuck to sipping my lemonade.
Last night I barely got any sleep.
I had this horrible dream that I was in my former stepfathers house, but instead of the house being in Germany, it was actually here in the hills of Perth.
The house had windows from the bottom to the ceiling and I often would leave the blinds open, so I could lay in bed and look outside.
In my dream I did just that. But, instead of seeing the weeping willow out the front I saw the ancient and magical Perth Hills, surrounding me.
All of a sudden, rocks started being catapulted into the air and a loud growling sound, opened up the earth.
A big smoke cloud, formed like a mushroom, swallowing up my surroundings- then I was back in my physical reality.
I can't say I slept well since going on this detox. I drift in and out of dreams and snap back instantly. Today was, apart from the cravings bearable.
The detox symptoms weren't as bad. But I am hoping to get a good nights sleep and give my body some rest.
I look forward to snuggle up to my, now three year old princess.
She gives me strength to survive this, to be a healthier and happier mum.
I love this little woman to bits and I am excited to learn to take care off myself and pass this on to her.
Below a snapshot, which was taken after the birth. Thank you universe for this magical little lady....
