I suppose this would be a good place to start, the birth of Maisy and the start of my stressful, joyful and shall we say eventful journey of motherhood.
After a pretty 'text-book' labour whereby my waters had broken on the due date before the contractions had started, the first comment made by my midwife once Maisy had arrived was...
"ooh look a ginger nut"
There it started; the feelings of wanting to protect and therefor potentially 'beat' any other person who threatened the happiness of our newly emerged sprog. I mean; what a thing to say, I was however expecting a little hint of redness as an email with the mother-in-law had previously stated;
"I wonder if he or she will be ginger"
After reading this comment I turned to Mike and asked why would our baby be ginger? After that moment I asked to see all his baby pictures at once, obviously his parents living on the other side of the world, and Mike being the 'third' child (which apparently meant a loss of interest in documenting every first step or word) made this very difficult. Although I managed to see two photos which confirmed that in fact 'ginger', 'red' 'auburn'; was in fact 'in the picture'.
Well Our beautiful baby girl had arrived, I on the other hand looked obese, swollen, spotty and resembled a mutated hamster. But hey I had an excuse right?
And this is where my journey of motherhood started, ahead of me now would be everything mummy, goodbye Carrie..... (I was glad though and happy)
