I have been dying to tell you this friends for so many weeks now, but finally it has felt like the right time. Our little menagerie is growing – this time to include a tiny person rather than a furry animal friend. I am 21 weeks pregnant!
As you can see from the picture above taken on the weekend, I only have a tiny bump so I’ve placed my hands in that typical pregnancy photo way so you can actually see there’s something there – honestly, I’m not just fat from eating too much clotted cream and butter 🙂
I am just so pleased that I can openly mention being pregnant here and also share some of my experiences (yes friends who read regularly I am drinking raw milk and pregnant, please don’t be alarmed I’ve read all the pro’s and con’s and made an educated decision that’s right for me).
It is such an exciting time and for the past couple of week’s I’ve been feeling it move around and I receive daily reminders it’s there and growing in the form of punches/kicks. It would be lovely to hear from anyone else expecting their first baby.
This is our first baby and so quite an experience and journey for both myself and Mr Rigg (who know’s what Buddy and the bunnies will make of this small new creature once it arrives!), and I’m looking forward to sharing little tidbits of this next adventure with you all.

Excellent news, Charlie. Congratulations to you both. Looking forward to updates. BTW where do you get your raw milk from? Alsager (where I get it) or somewhere nearer? I have a friend in S. Manchester who would like to get some.

Hi Barbara, thanks for your lovely message 🙂 I get my raw milk from two places – The Real Food Company in Alsager, and from Emma’s Organic Dairy which come to my local farmers market once a month and they’ve just started delivering, more info here http://localfoodinlymm.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/new-raw-and-pasteurised-organic-milk-deliveries-to-lymm-and-area-from-emmas-organic-dairy/
