First steps

This is an experiment and an online diary. I have always fancied writing a blog, but hadn't managed to settle on a subject across which I wanted to endlessly talk, or cared to read back over. Well, nothing gives you drive like an expanding pregnancy belly. And the realisation that, and without wanting to sound too American here, this is a very special journey. In short, it deserves documentation. There will be photographs of the bump. But it is early in the morning, and I have yet to rouse the darling man who got me into this situation. My aim, in the main, is still unclear, although I will certainly chart my changing body shape and most probably chatter too much about internal gas. As my mother would say, it's all in the joy of motherhood. So here I am lapping it up, and waiting patiently for my husband to take the first photograph. Oh, and I am 16 weeks and 5 days gone.
