Dropped off the radar....But I had a good reason!

So I dropped off the radar for a little while, but I had a legitimate reason. You see, being married almost 2 years coming up to April this year my husband and I were and are still very happy. But there was something that I had been wanting for a little while...

I wanted a baby!

 It's not to say that my husband wasn't keen on the idea, it's just something that scared him... a lot...

What got me upset wasn't the fact that my partner in life and love was being honest with me and telling me his inner most fears, but the fact that many people I knew or had worked with were happily announcing they were pregnant on facebook and it just got me down. I kept on looking at life and thinking:

"This is not fair"

"Why not me"

"When is it my turn?"

I hated the fact that I was looking at the world in such a way that it consumed me and made me feel shit about everything. A great friend (she'll know who I'm talking about...hopefully..) told me that I just needed to be patient and posted the following picture on my fb wall:

 

I smiled, nearly cried and thought..."what the hell am I doing???"

I have a wonderful husband, a great job, the most AWESOME friends and a supportive and loving family!

From this moment on, I took a breath and just made a resolution that I wasn't going to stress this time away and be joyful in the fact that nothing...yes I said NOTHING was wrong with my life!

The funniest and best thing happened less than a month later.....

I found out I was pregnant!

Now let me tell you... It has not been smooth sailing! :( I have been sick and tired....and I'm sick of being sick and tired....

...BUT...

It's all worth it, let me tell you! Seeing that little thing wriggling around in my tummy is the weirdest and coolest thing ever!!

Now, if I stick to this years' plan of giving myself a purpose I want to continue blogging and explore the world of fashion from my perspective and continue to be true to myself. The one thing that will probably change about this blog and it's posts will be that I will be a pregnant woman exploring fashion! I think that most of my wardrobe will go happily into maternity wear, but when I try to find affordable maternity wear in Australia....I'm a little stuck!

On this new fashion tangent I'll continue to talk style, substance and all things fashion-y! I hope to find a new appreciation for my body while it continues to grow my precious little bub inside of it and hope that even though the blog has changed...slightly...that you will continue on this journey with me!
