Girls rule and boys drool!

So, why am I writing a blog, you ask? Clearly I'm not a professional writer, nor do I aspire to be. Mostly, it's because I like talking about myself. Doesn't everyone..? But, also because I have found people to be very interested in my story. You would be surprised how many people will approach you and start conversation, because they can see you have a bun in the oven. I answer the same questions constantly. When is the baby due? Is it your first? Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? Do you have a name picked out? Oh and my favorite, are you excited? Come on...of course I'm excited! I have an effing baby coming. It's not like I'm making a sandwich. Although, sometimes that can be exciting, I do make a mean sandwich. It's when they find out that I'm A.) not married and B.) don't even have a boyfriend, whoah that's when the real intrigue begins.

Another reason I'd like to put my story out there, is because I feel that there are a lot more women out there in a similar position to me. Either became a single mother, or would consider becoming one by choice. In my experience, most women going on 30 or 40 are still waiting for prince charming to sweep us off our feet, marry us and tell us he wants to start a family right away. Well you know what? I'm not waiting for a man to tell me it's ok for me to be a mother. And I'm sure as hell not going to settle in a less than perfect relationship, just to have children. I would much rather raise a baby in a happy single home, than an unhappy married home.

More and more women are taking their future families into their own hands. Even though this isn't the way I planned it, I couldn't be happier.
