Virgin

If you've been following my Instagram and Facebook posts then you'll probably know that this title is in reference to my blogging skills and not the Bible's use of the word (sorry dad!). Creating a blog is something I have contemplated for a while now but have neither had the knowledge nor confidence on how to get it started. As much as I love sharing posts on social media with friends and family, was I ready to take it to the next level? It's a scary thought sharing your personal life in a more indepth way, potentially with strangers but if pregnancy has taught me anything it's that I shouldn't really do this for anyone else and just do it for me. If however, one person takes something positive away from my posts or thinks to themselves "I'm not the only one!" then that would be a bonus because sometimes knowing your not alone is enough.


To shed some light on how inexperienced I am at 'blogging' I can tell you that thinking of doing this has given me plenty of sleepless nights as I lay awake writing articles in my mind. Of course I am so unprepared that I never keep my notepad and pen nearby so I have never actually written anything down. I always have too much faith in myself that my memory is great and I will remember my posts but by the morning it's completely gone. Still, do I learn from these lessons? Absolutely not, but why would I want to make life easy for myself? That's just no fun. I've also been telling myself that I will order the most fabulous journal from TK Maxx, write my every thought and then I will be blog ready! But what is the point in delaying something that literally keeps me up at night? So I figured, there's no better time to start than 8pm on a Saturday night (the time is currently 1:34am and I am still writing/tweaking my blog - LOL "my blog" so official) whilst my family watch TV. I have to say, Sean (my partner/boyfriend/baby daddy) has stayed up with me so I can shout on him every hour or so for his opinion on my blog layout. And anyone who knows Sean will know well that he does love a snooze so staying up with me this late is a miracle! Even though I've had to endure Jaws 3 being on in the background - however we did get a good laugh out of the special effects of *SPOILER ALERT* the mama shark getting blown up. I know, spoiled 90's kids mocking the 1983 film effects, it's shameful of us. And about him sleeping, I know current parents were thinking, he can kiss that snoozing goodbye once the baby's here! Anyway, I had the best intentions to write a short but sweet first blog post but of course due to my excitement, lack of experience and preparation I've rambled on! My point was I certainly don't have all the answers to coping with pregnancy (good or bad), and I probably won't write my posts in a timelined structure but I plan on being as open and honest as I possibly can be about how I have found pregnancy. So stay tuned for plenty of the unfiltered truth and unflattering posts! For now my wriggling monkey of a baby and I will sign off before boring you all and try to get comfortable in bed but at 35 weeks that will be chocolate!
