Countdown is progressing - uno, dos, uno dos tres quatros!

I am a human balloon, which is pleasing. Instead of a wasp waist, I have a tweedledum. People do their utmost to avoid stressing me out in public places, and to this end I have travelled first class on trains several times with an economy ticket. Any residual guilt is countered by the knowledge that in a few weeks time I will be a second class citizen all the way, my only vehicle a baby sling, and the only baggage that needs declaring the dark circles under my eyes.

Ah, good times. In this blog I will attempt to make sense of mama-dom, treading a path that so many have before, but hoping to put my own unique spin cycle on it. Please visit me in the process!
