Having my first baby has been like stepping into a great void of the unknown.
It's been both everything and nothing like I expected, especially as my limited impressions of what it would be like were based entirely on what films, TV and books have told me, which - as it turns out - don't happen to be very truthful. Surprise surprise!
One of the most unsettling things about the whole pregnancy journey is how little it's possible to know in advance.
Every pregnancy and every experience is completely different, so you can do as much research as you like and the chances are it's still going to be nothing like you expected.
But there were a few things that struck me quite clearly about the whole experience - things I didn't expect, that set me wondering.
It is with so much love in my heart that I'm really pleased to annouce (at last!) the birth of our little son, Theodore Athow-Frost - or Theo for short.
Documenting my pregnancy on this blog has really helped me to process and share the journey, from all my uncertainties and fears when that little blue line first showed up ona test, to the frustration, joys and funny moments through the last 9 and a half months.
