I gotta tell!!!

Ok. Im in a bit of a quandry (it will be explained eventually, promise). My writing has been non-existant but I have a very good reason why. You see, I been creating in an entirely different way and it's really eaten my brain. I'm pregnant!!! (and yes I think this calls for excessive exclamation points, giggle)

After five years of trying (which is always fun) I had actually given up the whole thing as a non-starter and decided to go back to Uni to try to resurrect a career that doesn't bore me out of my tree. I like admin work. It pays the bills. I'm good at it. Thing is, I'm good at it without actually needing to make an effort so I end up bored. So, I decided I didn't want to be bored for the rest of my working life and decided as the baby situation wasn't happening, I may as well find something I liked and get myself back to Uni. I bet the Gods were laughing hysterically at all of this.

So hubby and I worked out how we would afford me to be back at Uni and I started making plans. Then I went to the Mercian Gathering. A brilliant Pagan Camp which features burning the Wicker Man as part of the weekend. Now, after the Wicker Man has burned for a while it usually falls over (gravity sometimes gets a helping hand) and then the men (and sometimes couples) jump over it to get His blessing. Hubby wanted to have a try. Some sort of manhood test I think. And I think it worked!

You see, I learned later that hubby hadn't done the mental maths. The Wicker Man is a representation of the Horned God. Jumping over the fire gives you the blessing of the Wicker Man. The Horned God is a FERTILITY God. Ergo, you get a fertility blessing. Let's just say, the next time we had 'fun' I end up pregnant. I reminded hubby of his received blessing recently and his face was a picture! You know the look, lightning struck. I had to laugh. He really hadn't thought it all the way through.

All I can say is, thank the Gods he only jumped it once. He wanted to go back for a second jump. I wouldn't let him (I was kinda panicky the first time he jumped. I was imagining all sorts of disasters.)

Now, I am really happy I am pregnant but it has seriously eaten into my energy levels. Hence the lack of writing but a friend suggested to me that there are quite a lot of Pagan Parent sites out there but not a lot (she thinks) of Pagan Pregnancy sites. She suggested I write down how being Pagan affects my decisions about my pregnancy and giving birth. I like the idea but I'm not sure where to put it. If I put it here will it fit? If I create a new blog then will I still write on here? Oh the decisions. And we haven't even looked at what colour to paint the nursery yet!

So there you have it. My great news and my quandry. What to do?
