Natasha Morgan Evans
I was just looking back at photos of this time last year. It's amazing to think that Natasha turns 1 on 9th November. What a year!

It's funny how an event like having a premature (26 weeks gestation) baby can really help sort out your priorities in life. Seeing a baby grow from 890g to the almost 8kg that she is today is a strange kind of privilege. The wonder of creation is never more evident that when you actually get to see an eyelid unfuse, or cartilige form in an ear, or a baby start to be able to breath on her own. It really makes you value the small things in life that we tend to take for granted, like our health and that we really do have a marvellous creator God!
Less brain fog
Having changed the way I eat - no more sugar for me, low GI here I come (thanks Brenda) - and having the girls sleep through the night (mainly) has seen a marked change in the levels of brain fog I've been experiencing. Much like the Singapore haze of last week, the fog has finally lifted. I feel like I'm thinking joined-up thoughts again, and am even able to read books again. Long may it continue.
The baby brain really hit me hard. I'd become forgetful- people's names, lunch dates, playdates, my children's names etc and sometimes couldn't even string full sentences together. All that seems to be changing - what an answer to prayer!
