I've heard so much about blogging but didn't really understand what all the fuss was about until I fell pregnant at Christmas 2007. I brought myself a Pregnancy Journal and vowed to write a little bit about how I was feeling and how the pregnancy was going. I thought this would not only be quite therapeutic for myself but a nice keepsake that I could give to our child once he/she was born.
After getting to 32 weeks and realising that I need to "catch up" on the 4 weeks that I haven't yet written, I have realised that I would much rather be on my laptop typing whenever I feel like it, rather than hand writing in a book.
So here I am. 32 weeks and 2 days pregnant and about to start the biggest journey of my life - motherhood. The last 7 months have gone so quickly. I have no idea what sort of Mum I am going to be and the thought of labour really scares me (well, show me a woman who wasn't scared of labour!) but I have thoughts and ideas on how I'd like our child to be raised and I guess we'll have to take it from there.
The hardest thing so far has to be the way people treat you. You're either public property because you have a bump or you're an invalid. You just cant win! At least work have been good to me, which was surprising considering as I work in a male dominated industry.
I am going to use this blog to diary not only the last few weeks of pregnancy but about being a new mum in 2008. So much has changed since my Mum had me (27 years ago) and much more pressure is put on women to do it all - have a career, be a good wife and a good mother, that I just have no idea how women manage it, well, I guess I'll soon find out.....!
