{ Me }

It’s about time I got my blog on! This has been something that has interested me for a while now. Sometimes I over-analyse things…think too much about them, plan them to perfection but then I never get round to doing them.

Blogging has been a bit like that for me. I have played around with the design template, the back ground image, done online tutorials of how to create great headers, read lots of blogs and been kept awake for hours at night thinking about what I could blog about….yet no new blog posts. Enough is enough. Time to get in a do something and not worry that it might not be perfect.

Here's a bit about me:

I married the love of my life, J, when I was in my last year of Uni.  We’ll have been married for 9 years this January. J continues to encourage, protect and nurture me in ways I can’t describe. He likes to coax me out of my comfort zone and often helps me to ‘lose control’ a bit. He says it’s good for me.

Aaah such babyfaces back in 2004!

He’s not only a great husband but also an awesome Father.  We have an amazing 18month old whom we affectionately nickname the H-Bomb! The love I feel for this little man is uncomprehendable. He has taught me a lot about myself over the past year and a half. I completely love being a mumma. What an honour  (and massive responsibility) to speak into his life and the generations to come.

I am also currently 36weeks preggers with baby number two. An interesting time to start a blog I know! I love all things pregnancy related and can’t wait to blog about H-bomb’s birth story.  Pregnancy and birth is such a miracle and one I never ever take for granted.

I am a complete homebody; I think I would quite happily become a hermit if it were socially acceptable!

I am a thinker. A listener. I often internalise how I’m feeling which can often frustrate those closest to me.

I am turning 30 in a matter of weeks.

When I’m not making babies I am a paediatric Speech Pathologist.

I enjoy running and exercising.  Actually, who am I kidding... I usually hate it to start with but am always glad I’ve done it.

I love coffee and cake.

Traipsing around op-shops makes me happy. Finding cool old retro stuff or stuff I can re-purpose increases the happiness factor.

My life and everything in it is such a gift from God for which I am forever grateful.  Everyday is a journey to becoming more like Jesus and to leaving a legacy for my little munchkins and those around me.

I'm not sure yet what this blog will contain, who will read it or whether it is going to be something I stick with. Only time will tell I guess. Bring it on...

I felt like I needed a sentence to finish off this blog post…not sure what.  J’s suggestion (from our extensive blog looking) – “So grab a cuppa and stay awhile”.  Such a cliché blog line but oh well, seems to work.
