Pregnancy Announcement – The Secret Is OUT!

November 15, 2021 /

I can’t tell you how long I’ve waited to be able to write this post. When I first started blogging six years ago, I never dared to dream that I’d still be sharing such massive life updates and this is the biggest one yet! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen a HUGE life update in October – it’s official, I’m having a baby and I can’t wait to share this journey with you!

The Story So Far…

As many of you know, myself and my (new) husband have been together for years. We’ve known each other since we were kids and we’ve been trying to get married for years. COVID took a massive toll on our dream wedding plans which resulted in four postponements and lots of crying!

I’ve always known that I wanted to be a mummy. Ever since I was a kid myself, I’ve always doted on my younger cousins, been obsessed with dolls and I’ve officially been known as “broody Judy” since I was about 25.

Having a family of our own was always on our radar, it wasn’t something we even had to discuss at length. It was always our goal to make mini-humans and I’m so incredibly lucky to have found someone who loves me and understands me as well as my husband does.

The Big News

I am so excited to announce my pregnancy.

I’m well over halfway to the finish line and I’ve been meaning to announce it for a while.

I didn’t keep it quiet or a secret on purpose. As a couple, we’re quite private. Elements on my life are shared online but we felt that certain parts of our journey should be kept between us and eventually with the ones we love!

I wanted to get the best possible photo of my new bump at my recent wedding – and when that happened, everything kind of fell into place and I felt ready to share this incredible story with the world!

How Far Along Am I?

Right about now, I am a few weeks shy of my third trimester. I’ll be honest, it has completely flown by! Every flutter, kick and movement is amazing to feel and I feel so lucky to experience it multiple times a day – even at 5 am which seems to be our new wake-up call!

The first trimester was a long slog. Not knowing for sure what was happening in my body, the waiting and the secrets were all kinds of fun. Nausea and blatant lying about not being able to drink (in an Irish family, no less) was a little stressful.

I had an inkling that something was going on about a week before my period was due. My usual symptoms pre-period were non-existent, my boobs were incredibly sore but I felt kind of strange. I wasn’t off my food or overly tired, I just had this feeling that I can’t explain.

We had our twelve-week scan at 13 weeks but because this is our first baby, we had no clue. We’ve been really open-minded and chilled about the whole thing so every appointment and scan has been a fun, pleasant experience!

We’ve known our due date for some time but we won’t be sharing the exact date with you. The odds of little baby appearing on that date are slim and I’ve been told the constant “have they arrived yet” messages will make me go insane. What I can say though, is that our little amazing baby is due early next year!

Will My Content Change?

I’ve always written from the heart and chosen to share some personal moments in my life. My wedding became such a negative headspace for me that I couldn’t bear to bare all online – my blog was my escape. However, now that I’ve managed to finally get my dream wedding, I’ll be sharing it ALL!

I think that my content will evolve just like my life will. I’m not going out for cocktails or bottomless brunch anymore. I’m picking sustainable ways to buy baby clothes, thinking of decor for the nursery, and researching how I can stay in good shape and shape of mind for when my baby arrives.

My content will change to reflect that – but the flatlays and blog content won’t disappear altogether. It will just be littered with some baby and parenting bits.

My goal is to make my blog helpful for pregnant people, their partners, and then new parents. I had so many questions go unanswered in my first few months. I want to dedicate some of this blog space to answering those questions and helping others. I want to reassure pregnant people and share the love and joy that I’m thrilled to be experiencing with every kick and sweep of movement.

Will You Join Me On This New Journey?

I totally understand and appreciate that this new kind of content might not be what you want to read and absorb right now. I am aware that this may isolate a chunk of my demographic. And, I’m ok with that. If the upcoming content is too painful for you, please skip ahead and come back for the flatlays and product reviews.

If you think that my life has overnight become boring – here’s a slice of reality. It’s always been boring. Real-life and day-to-day stuff isn’t all fun, games, events, and free stuff. I’m ready to share that and I can’t wait to see who else agrees with me!

I hope that you will stick with me through this journey and that more of you start to enjoy how my content evolves. As always, I’m here to answer your questions and be 100% real and myself!

A Few Highlights Of This Journey So Far…

Thank you all SO much for the love and support so far. Bring on 2022 and the LoveRosiee Baby!
