Well, this is quite exciting…

18 Feb

Lovely cakes made by my friend Isa to celebrate the news!

This is a blog post I’ve been dreaming about writing for the past 18 months but guess what?

We’re having a baby.

Lots of emotions raging at the moment – being able to tell people after EIGHT OF THE LONGEST WEEKS IN HISTORY is a rather massive relief, I keep on dreaming about my mum and am really, really missing her. A daughter should really have her mum around to share something like this and I’m feeling it more than I expected to.

However – I have a group of the most amazing friends, strong support from both mine and Jim’s family, a lovely bunch of work colleagues and a great network of parent bloggers who I can always tap up for advice should it all become a bit too much.

And obviously I’m married to the best man on planet earth.

So I’m really quite lucky when you think about it.

Here’s to a happy and healthy 6 months… roll on August 30th! :)

    What wonderful news. I know how much you have been waiting for this, so big congratulations from me. You will be a great mum and yes, it does leave an ever bigger mum sized hole, so I understand that too

    Wow how exciting, congratulations! And I know about mum sized holes too. I tried to explain this to my soon to be Dad brother recently, being a parent helped me relive some of my own childhood with her, which was a comfort.
