So it's true, I am totally crap at being a regular blog writer! My last post was mid December and started off much like this one . . . 'sorry for not writing for ages etc etc' - let's face it this is frankly going to get boring, if it hasn't already! If I'm going to continue something HAS to change . . .
Excuses aside (and of course there are plenty!) I just haven't got around to writing a new post and if I want to attempt to entertain anyone with my writing / life then I've got to make more of a go of it than I have so far. I don't know why I haven't done it? I love writing and a blog is the perfect opportunity to switch off and open up my mind, letting it spill onto my keyboard. So what more of an excuse could I possibly need to get my backside in gear and start writing and writing REGULARLY?!!
For starters I've been thinking I need more of a theme to stay motivated to write . . . I've thought about blogging over the past few months but struggled to see why anyone would be interested in reading it, so haven't bothered. This time I need a new angle so have been racking my brain about what it could be and it turns out that the theme is here, right in front of my nose, slap bang in my face and ready to be written!! Well, I'm sure you are all desperate to hear what it's going to be about so here goes, prepared to be interested or completely turned off of ever reading my blog again . . .
It will continue to be a diary type blog, but the thing that is going to make it interesting (in my mind anyway) is the fact that my life is about to change significantly and I want to tell you all about it; from here and now, with clips back into my past to explain who, why, what, when etc and most importantly recording what's next . . .
So, I turned 30 last month, which in itself is a milestone BUT that's not the point . . . on the 30th December last year I discovered that I was expecting a baby! Now, I'm 16 weeks and in the midst of my pregnancy. This may not seem a big deal to most of you but for me you should know it is MASSIVE! Up until last year I thought I never wanted to have children and have spent most of my adult life as a travelling, career minded woman. This, I need to tell you is not about to change - I'm still building up my business and looking to take on freelancers to help me out when the baby joins us (my lovely husband, James, and I) and travelling is something that will be a major part of our new additions life. In fact, we took the microscopic bump over to Morocco for it's first 'in womb' adventure last month. I hope this doesn't sound too selfish, as I can assure you I have the little ones best interests at heart and think building my business is a must for us to be able to spend more time with each other in the future as a family and having travelled a fair amount I am confident this is the best education a child can have. I also intend to learn new skills in addition to business and travel, those being to be a loving and family orientated Mum - hey, if I can do all this I think it's safe to say I will have created the perfect life . . .
As part of this quirky blog I thought I'd keep you updated with the growth of my bump - so here I am at 16 weeks - it's coming . . . ;-)
Next post coming VERY soon (I promise!!)

I know exactly what a big deal this is for you, sometimes you just turn a corner in your life and think - why not. You will be a wonderful inspirational mother and James a loving caring father. You have a family that adores you so this bump will never be short of people wanting to babysit. Looking forward to the next installment of your life with a bump! xx
