Beginnings

"I knew you were pregnant! Don't worry about it, we will make it work!" those were the words my husband said whilst he played Candy Crush as I did the whole pee on a stick thing. It took only two minutes for me to know and I guess this was how my Motherhood and Wife-hood Journey began.

Fast forward three years, I'm now a mother of two beautiful children, a very supportive husband, have all my family close by and like everyone goal orientated human I have got some massive dreams.

I have decided one thing for my immediate future and that is to put my fingers to work and write about some of the honest parts about mother hood and wife life.

I have questioned myself numerous times about what I want out of this Blog and it's not for sponsorships or advertising ( but by all means if that happens I will make sure it stays relevant and does not change me) but it's for the raw honesty I have about the life I am living and in sharing some of those rare moments I want other mothers and wife's to find comfort in knowing that they aren't as rare as we all think but common and relatable all across the globe.

I will be completely honest and tell you all now my pregnancy was not expected, like many I 'accidentally' fell pregnant and was way out of my depth. If you had told me a year before this moment that I would be blessed with a supportive partner who not long after became my husband, living in my home time with a full time job and well being a mum I would be putting my money on the fact that you were wrong.

The first fear that hit me was the basic unknown of motherhood...

How does one give birth?

Can I opt for a c-section?

How does one Breastfeed?

How much money do I need for a baby?

What size do they come out - not weight but clothing wise - cause we all know those are important?

How big am I going to get?

How long will they not sleep for?

Oh and my Biggest downfall was the "YESSSSSSS, I can eat all the food I want and it will fall off when the baby comes out" biggest pregnancy lie!

I mean the questions I could list are endless but we took the bull by the horns and went for it - saved like crazy, got married and began a life together that I am yet to regret and don't think I ever will. Don't get us wrong, married life is not all happiness and unicorns, it's shit storms, disagreements, sacrifice, understanding, patience and lots of love chucked on top to make everyday better than the last and the hard times are but a distant memory on the good days.

I'm starting off simple but I can't wait to post meaningful, deep and controversial stuff.

To each reader that finds this page. I want to test you, test you in your relationships, test you in your friendships with your children, test the appreciation you have for yourself and I hope to do that by being vulnerable, honest and open about the experiences I have because you deserve to know that you are not alone and there is someone in the world going through exactly what your are and maybe you can learn from my mistakes or positives and adapt them in your own life.

Let the journey begin.
