My First Baby Blog
You may be wondering why I have created this baby blog. The main reason for this blog was to have a keepsake and a record of my first pregnancy and all the experiences that I face along the way.
The Mummy to Be - Melissa
You may also be thinking why did I make this public, well the reason was to help others in the same position as me. I am by no means an expert on pregnancy especially since this is my first time! but by sharing my research and experiences I thought it may be of some help and comfort to others going through pregnancy as well.
It is also the perfect way to share photos and changes with my close friends and family in one central place for them to see what is happening whenever they like.
From the start of my pregnancy you may have been following my blog, or perhaps just stumbled upon it searching for something in particular. No matter how you came across my little blog spot I hope that there is something here to help you out.
The Daddy to Be - Charles
I am Melissa and you may have guessed, but I’m the mummy, a first time mummy in fact! I’m a very arty, crafty type of person and have always loved making things. I intend to make
lots of toys and decorations for my baby’s room, which I will share with you all and even show you how to make most of them for yourselves! I plan to be a full time, stay at home mum and am currently not working, making me a devoted house wife.
It of course takes two to tango and this brings me to my husband Charles, who needless to say is very excited at his new, up and coming role as a daddy! He is somewhat my complete opposite and is a very logical thinker, perfect to compliment my creativity. Charles is your typical IT guy and spends most of his time in front of a computer but also enjoys working around the house, in the garden and of course spending time with me!
Fuzzie or the Tiger is our pet female Ragdoll cat, also our little menace who enjoys sleeping, eating and snuggles with mummy and daddy!
And last but certainly not least, the reason for the existence of this blog, our newest addition to the family: Jellybean is the name we use to refer to our expected baby, and more so in recent posts, Addison or Addi now that we know we are having a baby boy!
Our Pet Cat - Fuzzie (Tiger) and Our Baby Boy - Addison (Jellybean or Addi)
UPDATE: Since writing the above I gave birth to our little boy Addison Charles on 31st October 2010 at 9.59 am. He was 8 pounds 3 ounces, 51 cms long with a head circumference of 35 cms. Read all about my experiences of becoming a mum in the blog archives, and keep up to date with his progress as he grows into a lovely, young man!

Week By Week Pregnancy Guide
I have been slowly working to expand my blog and have decided to include some information for those of you that may be at the same stages of pregnancy as I am. It will also make a great reference for those that want more information, no matter what stage of pregnancy you are at.
As part of being pregnant I think women have many questions about what is happening to them and their body as this little person grows inside of them, so hopefully through my own research this can clear up some of these questions!
The following pages found on this site include some of the information that I have complied as part of my own personal research while being pregnant.
