Introduction & Why's

Seeing as I have already been through this exciting, beautiful and at times rather disgusting stage of life, I had the brilliant (?) idea of starting a blog and sharing my journey with you. I'll start with introducing myself a little, albeit at this stage anonymously. I have just turned 24, live in a beautiful part of Australia and am blessed with an amazing and devoted fiancé and we have a beautiful 4 year old daughter. I also work full time in a job I have a love-hate relationship with...more on that later. Part of the reason I have started this blog is looking back when I was pregnant with Princess 1, I wish I had recorded more and photographed more. Her being my first child, I'd say it is a regret of mine (not blogging or photographing my growing belly - not the actual child!) and I swore if I ever had another one I'd be OTT. I have many fond memories of my pregnancy with Princess 1 and also some funny and some I'd rather forget for example passing wind whilst on my way to the ground passing out in front of a store full of people. I vividly remember being in labour like it was yesterday - yes, ladies, it is NOT true what they say. You will NOT forget the searing pain of contractions so bad you wish someone would walk through the door with a shotgun so you will be put out of your misery. So please don't be deceived! Another memory that springs to mind is running (well, the best I could do at running carrying a kicking watermelon around) out of the birthing class in pure panic and disbelief after viewing the video of the lady giving birth. Adamant that was NOT something I or my body could pull off - now here I am newly pregnant again. How will I handle these fears and situations now? Am I experienced now I have successfully reared one child, or will I still be going in blind? We will soon find out. Tonight I am feeling creative and inspired, so let's do this!
