Me And My Tiny Human

If you celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas! And f you don't Happy Wednesday!Today's episode is all about my first Christmas with my daughter.Yes, she was around last year but does it really count if they don't have a clue what's going on?I don't have the greatest memories of Christmas from the earlier years of my life, at least after my parents divorced. And for the past 10 years Christmas has kind of just passed me by, not in a sad way, in more of a 'Thank god I don't have to do anything or see anyone today!' way. But, when I was a kid, I do remember thinking "I can't wait till I have kids so I can start my own Christmas traditions."And here I am!So what are they and will Elf on the Shelf get a look in?

Today I'm talking about something I get asked about A LOT... how did I chose my donor?I had absolutely NO idea how this whole process worked before I found myself in it so hopefully after listening to this episode you have a bit more of an understanding of how it works than I did!This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.

Today's episode is all about the idea of whether you're ever really ready and, my goodness, people say that to you A LOT.Especially when, like me, you were approaching 40 and you still hadn't had a baby. I mean the number of people that ask you if you're going to get it together and you're like..."Yeah! I'm doing it, so how about you back off?!"And that's what today's episode is all about.The fact that I believe you can get yourself to a point where you're ready even though every single person in the known universe seems to say you can't (which I find a bit patronising to be honest!).For me, getting myself to the point where I was ready was ESSENTIAL so that I could deal with all the hard stuff that came after, when the baby was actually here.If I hadn't have been in the right headspace for that I'm not sure how I would have gotten through it (coz it was tough enough as it was).So do I think you can be ready to have a baby? YES.Do I think that makes it any easier? NOT AT ALL!But at least it means when you're crying in the toilet you know this is something you wanted to do and not something you weren't ready for.And in those moments, that's truly the best you can hope for!This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.

Welcome to the very first episode of Me And My Tiny Human!A show that's been a LONG time coming...for me. Not so much for you.You probably saw it five minutes ago and thought I'll give this a go, meanwhile I'm over here thinking for the last year and a half, "I should really do this podcast."But unfortunately, I had set everything up and the plan was to put it together during mat leave.HA!Can you pick the person who's never had a baby before?But I'm here now and that's the main thing. And in this inaugural episode I'm answering a question I get asked A LOT and that is "Why the hell would you do this, you idiot?"Seems harsh? Well, not really.I'm a single person with no family around and no help, other than the help I pay for (which ain't cheap...bye bye savings).So, I understand why people don't know why I'd make the leap and do it solo, because looking after a baby isn't easy, even when you've got a lot of support around.In this episode I talk about why I decided to go it alone and why the idea of having a baby on my own has never felt like a consolation prize.
