Seeing as I have just been advised that it is ‘blogtober’ it seems like the perfect time for us to get started!

My name is Joanna and I am a first time Mummy, to a wonderful little girl called Lily Bernadette.

Lily came into my world on Wednesday 21st June 2017 , at 1.01 am , by emergency C-section and nothing has been the same since. My world has gone from revolving round the busy 9-5 office life, to being filled with dirty nappies, sleepless nights and milky smiles and I  wouldn’t change a thing!

My pregnancy came as a HUGE shock, as I had just gotten engaged my childhood sweetheart and had thrown myself right into the chaos of wedding planning. I had also just started my dream job so babies were not in our plans for at least a few years. Our plan was possibly to follow the IVF route as I have a genetic neurological condition called Neurofibromatosis and although my situation is a very mild case, I did not want to pass this on, but here we are.

Whatever the outcome of Lily’s assessment, we will get though it together as a family.

No amount of reading or shopping could have prepared me for motherhood but I am slowly finding my way.

Come back soon to hear about my mummy mishaps and see more of my cuties face ❤
