To begin then, a summary of me.
I'm in my late 20's, married with one baby who is currently just shy of 3 months old. I'm unemployed at the moment, as is my husband, as in a cruel twist of irony he was made compulsorily redundant days after I had accepted voluntary redundancy. More on that in a later post however.
When I am working, I work in HR, which I absolutely love, and am really looking forward to returning to work, although I also can't imagine being without my baby every day yet.
I live in the South-East of England in a small flat and we have 2 nutty cats that I adore.
I'm going to minimise the names and places mentioned in the blog to try and reduce the chances of me offending and alienating everyone I know and love - but I'm sure I'll slip up from time to time. There is more than enough here to identify me to those who know me, so I'll leave it at that I think.

How to start...
So, I decided to start a blog. Why? Well, several reasons really. Partly to be a record of a time of exciting change in my life, partly because one of my closest friends keeps telling me that it may be useful. But if I'm honest, mainly because, like a lot of others, I'd like to believe that my life is interesting to other people, even when it's fairly ordinary to me.
This blog is mainly about my recent experiences with pregnancy and childbirth (because no-one's EVER blogged about that before!) but will probably encompass many other areas of my life, as they entwine themselves around each other.
As I'm new to this (and I have a young baby) I will aim to blog once a week as a minimum. Hopefully, I'll be able to post more frequently, but I guess only time will tell on that score.
I hope that this does prove interesting (to me as well as to any potential readers) and that some of what I write will be entertaining, amusing, or indeed useful to someone reading.
It is not my intention to upset or belittle anyone but this is my blog and my opinions of the world. While I am never setting out to purposefully stir things up I am aware this will happen. Before you decide to pour vitriol over the comments page, please remember - if you don't like what I write, you are perfectly within your rights to ignore me, but insults because you disagree with me are merely petty.
There, that should get a lot of people annoyed before I begin - start as you mean to go on, eh?!
