So. The first blog post. I just looked again at the sub-heading I've given my blog. It sounds a bit miserable.
I'm a wife to a wonderful man, mum to a beautiful two-and-a-half-year-old boy and a growing girly bump. I take none of these three gifts for granted. However, it's dawning on me these days that maybe I don't have such an easy time having babies, and I need something to do with my time at the moment and a way to make sense of the situation - hence, here I am.
The aim is to bring a bit of reality, vulnerability, openness and honesty amongst ladies on similar journeys. To share a bit about what I know, what I don't and what I'm working on. You don't have to be in the depths of despair to read and identify with this blog, but you might need to be willing to admit that sometimes you look at the toys strewn across the floor, weetabix cemented to the kitchen table, washing that is literally rotting in the basket and wonder to yourself... how did I get here??
There will also be knitting and recipes.
Oh, and as for the title... My friend and I were recently musing on why it should be so difficult to have babies and raise children when we are told in the bible that we are perfectly created in the image of God. We are designed to do this...So why is it hard to give birth, establish breastfeeding, get a baby to sleep and teach a toddler not to eat cardboard? We blamed Eve.
