The Beetle Shack is Expanding (+1)

If there was ever an exciting side project to announce, it'd be this one.

We're having another baby.

It seems hard to believe that my little Lady Baby is almost two and even harder to believe that after she was born, I was certain that she would be our last.

I changed my tune quickly though. By the time she was one I was ready for more chaos.

And chaos there is.

Pregnancy seems to have this magical way of turning me into a fully developed version of my pubescent self.  I'm a little cubby, there's a tinge of body odour lingering around, I have pimples on my chin, my breasts are as tender as testies and i'm oh so emotionally volatile.

I've been delighting in the simple pleasures that all adolescents know and love. A hot chocolate with marshmallows after dinner, deep solitary baths and five am wake ups... oh wait, no, on-one loves those.

Any way you look at, we're all seriously excited about this new person and can't wait to meet him/her in just under six months from now (i'm due early may).


There is so much I want to share about growing, birthing and raising this baby and I hope that I can manage to do so with sensitivity and tact (which is rather unnatural for me). Along the way i'll share my past experiences (maybe) and intentions (definitely) about the birth of this little treasure.

 In the meantime i'll just sit back and let God knit it together. I know that it will be good.

Happy me, friends! Happy me!
