FYI I had a baby...


I'm clearly the type of person who starts a blog and then 2 weeks later drops it. Well no more! I'm back and want to get all of my thoughts out of my head and into my blog. Maybe no more pregnant thoughts but I promise to remain as unfiltered as I was before, maybe even more so as being a mum has changed me. Lol that I'm finally a mum!


So yes I started a blog to share my pregnancy struggles, and oh boy was it a struggle. But we are passed all of that and are moving forward. If you are currently pregnant then just remember it won't last forever. I started to think at about week 20 I'd never not be pregnant and had just accepted that my life would forever include a bump, being sick & being in a wheelchair. But it does end! And WOW it's the best feeling!


On 27th February 2018 I was blessed with the most beautiful little girl! I'm sure everyone says that about their own but you honestly do think so because they are yours and you went through a hella time to get them here.

Anyway she was born and I was free. Lol just kidding. But yes it was pretty incredible. We had agreed that our baby girl name (we were having a surprise baby) was Blake and so when she was born and Sean announced it was a girl I told the midwife to write Blake. Sean shouted NOOOO (not in slow motion but when I think about that moment I always imagine him saying it in slowmo as he dramatically holds our girl to look at her before deciding) and said he wanted to name her Arizona. Like wow he completely messed with my post labour mind as "WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM????" We had spoke about Arizona once before as we are both huge fans of Dr. Arizona Robbins from Greys Anatomy but after my best friend shut that name down (she hated it) it was spoken about no more. Until she was here! So baby Taylor was nameless for a couple of hours. Also while I write Baby Taylor I actually really like the first name Taylor but Sean had to ruin that with his surname being Taylor. Men ruin everything. Anyway, as I was saying we were so back and fourth on this name choice! Choosing a babies name is soooo difficult!! You could potentially have this name that you love but then your child might grow up to hate. Then is it too much like a boys name? Is it too unique? Is it not unique enough? And all of the names you like guarantee you know someone who has that name who lets just say is not your cup of tea. You can't have your child being a reminder of that person, big NO NO. But anyway that was a long pointless story just to tell you that we went with Sean's gut, lol, and named her Arizona. And oh boy we wouldn't have her any other way! She certainly has a unique, beautiful little character so the name suits.


And because everything happened so fast there's now a confusion with her time of birth and weight. Of course this would only happen to our child! So, the midwife announced her time of birth was 11:06pm which is what Sean had text my family. However, the official paperwork from the hospital states 11:04pm so we are unsure. It's anyone's guess really. I mean I was kind of focused on having a baby that I didn't look at the clock, maybe I'm a bad mum lol? So yeah, as a result we have some gifts that say 11:06 and some with 11:04! Poor Arizona. Same sort of thing happened with her weight, on one card it read 7.13lbs and on another it's 7.14lbs. So much confusion. But I'm sure it won't affect Arizona's life too much. She's here and that's the man thing!


And now I've decided that the day before her 1st Birthday is the best time for me to get back into writing on this blog. I'd say that's good timing!

So expect baby posts, soon to be toddler posts (OMG) and everything in between posts as I want to share with you all much more than Bump to Baby but my life. I enjoy reading people's life posts and wanted to jump on that too!


So please meet Arizona Taylor as an actual baby!
