I'm a million years too late in the blogging scene, but having the realisation that life is passing by so quick I feel I should use this as a tool to look back on, so here goes.
I'm a mother, a wife to be and a bit of a crazy daisy.
Iv had two children, TWO!!! I can't believe how quickly these past 3 years have gone by.
Lets start at the beginning... After all its probably the best place to start.
Now you see I'm going to put everything into this. After all my plan is for the kids to be able to look back on and (lets face it, probably cringe with embarrassment)
So we're in 2009, August 2nd. It's my 21st birthday and as usual I am out with the girls, I'm no stranger to the social scene, my life is about dancing the night away, drinking lots of alcohol and waking up with a huge hangover ready to do it all again the next night, you get the picture.
I meet Paul.... And we've been together ever since (bar a few week break because my alcohol, partying, arguing ways got the better of us) he saw sense though and that was that.
So fast forward a few months to October, I had just started a new job and we were moving in together (fast I know) so this is October 30th.
Saturday 31st October and Paul has gone to work, I wake up with a feeling I can't even possibly describe. I would now know to spot this feeling a mile off. I raced across the road to superdrug with a five pound note in my hand and bought a packet with two sticks in, crying at the counter I ran back home, sat down did what I needed to do and went to do the washing while I waited for the results. Now I do have the memory of a goldfish but I completely forgot about my recent panic, then it flashed back in my mind......... Then I look.... PREGNANT!
I'm pregnant, I'm having a baby, me? Pregnant. Oh yes. Oh fuck!
This is not me, I was the one who didn't want babies, I like to drink and be silly and NOT to have kids.
We get on with it, It becomes official, family are unsure (I'm even more unsure)
We get a due date of 24th June 2010
I get excited, suddenly this being inside of me is all I think about, I'm reading up on everything baby related, my mind had gone from partying to early nights reading Emma's diary.
We move to a bigger house 6 weeks before my due date, life is good, me and Paul are fab, the baby (we now know is a boy) and we've named him Harry has his own little room. We're now waiting to become parents.
13th June 2010. I'm a Mummy, I'm overwhelmed, iv just had an amazing labour that lasted just 1hour 20mins and I have this little baby boy, he's gorgeous, the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. He weighs 7lb 4oz and he's mine. We are in Love.
My life has changed over night and I'm the happiest I have ever been, I throw myself into motherhood and begin to do something that is so natural, I'm going to breastfeed, I hadn't planned to do anything different, this is what mothers do right? This is what our bodies are made for. Oh how wrong was I.
I'm going to do a fresh blog about my first experience with breastfeeding as its something I need to address separately, you see its something which is quite raw still so it needs a blog of its own.
Love life and laughter
(A child's smile can heal the deepest of wounds)
Peace out
