The Family Feeling

Picture from here

I've always wanted a baby. I've always wanted to be a mum. Nothing in the whole has ever made me happier than the idea of having a baby.

In this first year of marriage though I have found myself, not just wanting a baby, but wanting a family.  Not only do I want a baby, but I want to have G's baby. I want to join us together even more by having something that inevitably links us forever.  Something that we get to make and share; and believe me that's saying something for me as I'm not one for sharing!

The fact that now we are married and in the process of getting a house sorted means that I am ever so much closer to having a baby.

I am trying to have a healthier lifestyle and I am planning to do the Brighton marathon again in 2015 to help me lose weight and then am hoping to fall pregnant after that.

The idea that it may not happen is niggling in the back of my mind, but fingers crossed there aren't any underlying issues that would mean our fertility isn't great.  

Here's to drinking less, smoking less, getting fitter and getting up the duff!!!

Girls....

Are you into Girls?...not in that way?!

Girls the TV series.  It's brill.  It's the first TV series for ages that I've really enjoyed watching.  Admittedly I'm getting on this a bit late in the day, as I think they are actually already on series 4, but that doesn't make it any less brill.

It's so nice to have found a TV show that you can actually relate to.  Don't get me wrong, I loves SATC and The OC, but they sent you off into a fantasy world where real life issues were sensationalised and really, you just wanted to be as cool and skinny as them and have as much money.

They didn't really address every day issues.  Girls does (but not in a depressing way) in a light hearted, extremely well written way.

The characters are realistic and relatable and the relationships and issues are all so real.

How good is Lena Dunham at writing!? Soooo good, is the answer to that!

And as for not being afraid to have a good sex scene and get her boobs out - well good on that woman.

If you aren't already...get on Girls!
