Thanks for joining me!

I have never done anything like this so please be patient with me. My aim is to share my experiences as a Mommy, I am still new to this (learning as I go) and hoping by communicating on here and Instagram (@journalofafitnessmommy) we can all learn from each other.

Allow me to introduce myself

My name is Emma, I’m 27 years old and a Mommy to the beautiful Francesca who is 15 months old and Oscar our handsome 3 year old bulldog. I am also 32 weeks pregnant with baby number 2. That’s right we are going to have two under two 😬, although slightly nervous, everyone keeps telling us we are mad, I am super excited for our little ones to grow up together.

We have 8 weeks to go before we meet our beautiful little bundle of joy and are having a surprise with the gender again. It was so lovely not knowing with Francesca, even when the midwives spent the whole of our labour saying ‘she is nearly here’ ‘she’s coming’ and Paul replying ‘or he’ every time 😂

I am a qualified PE teacher and have worked in a secondary school for 5 years. I have recently given up my job to be a stay at home Mommy. I am blessed to have this opportunity, Paul works so hard so I can. I love teaching but this is something I couldn’t pass up on. After having Francesca I returned to work part time and although loved teaching, I also found it so hard every day leaving her, the dreaded ‘mom guilt’.

My plan

Although I have given up my teaching job, I plan on completing my personal training qualification and specialising in pre and post natal exercise, when I have got the hang on having two little ones. This is something I find so interesting. I set up my Instagram page to depict my weight loss progress after having Francesca, I plan to do the same with this baby and hopefully use it to help other Mommies. I regularly post little daily challenges you can complete at home around your children. I do this with my knowledge as a PE teacher as I am yet to complete my PT qualification. I also post what we are eating and what we have been up doing.

What is the blog all about

I want to discuss topics that occur every day for Moms and expectant Moms, for example:

Labour

Weaning

Sleep

Turning 1

Tantrums

Places to go or we have been etc.
