What's this all about then?

Hi. I'm Macca. My missus is...um...Mrs Macca. For the moment we'll just call ourselves that, what with all the stalkers and such that we're likely to encounter in blog-land, I thought it best that we start off a bit more restrictive, name-wise.

So, what's this here blog all about then?

Well, Mrs Macca is, as of today, 20 weeks and 4 days pregnant with our first child. We are more than a tad excited about this, and as we begin the second half of our 9-month journey to parenthood, I find myself wanting to write about stuff.

What stuff? And what's the name Beyond Baby Blog all about?

I'm glad you asked, though please, one question at a time. I guess I wanted to write about our experiences with the pregnancy, the joys and the excitement we are feeling as well as the concerns and worries we naturally have as we prepare for this most shocking change to our life. So that's the baby part of the name. The beyond part is twofold:

- I intend to keep the blog going not only for the next 20 weeks, but further into the future as we meet and embrace our new little family-member (so it's beyond just this short period).

- My posts will probably only partially touch on this part of our lives (see so it's beyond just the baby. Genius innit?). Obviously we're still living, working, and tackling all that this entails. There are other things I feel the need to write about, and these will include music, art and beauty. Sometimes I will also get very silly indeed and write nonsensical malarkey. Sometimes I will end a sentence with the word custard.

Hopefully you'll stick around and have a read. Feel free to comment on whatever you like. As this is my first post, I'm not that au fait with the whole moderation and comments bit of the blog, but I'll work it out.

Anyway that's enough of an intro. More details of who we are and what we do will be uncovered in my posts.

cheers,
Macca
