Book Description
I have had blogs on and off most of my life. I’m a 30yr old pregnant teacher. I was last on OD and have decided to return to blogging. My pregnancy is still a secret from many “real life” friends because I’m only 8 weeks along.
This blog will be about my life, my work, my boyfriend (soon to be husband) and my future child. It will not be high excitement but it will be brutally honest.
