Welcome to MamaBlog with Stial

This blog simply is about being a mother and the remarkable journey it is in life.

I am sure it will have its peaks and troughs and this blog is to share and hopefully get some real life advice.

Welcome to MamaBlog with Stial

Week 30 and 10 weeks to go – Countdown begins! Does anyone else secretly know exactly what day they are and counting every day? Or have you given that up months ago?

Last trimester and it feels like the last lap in the race when you were a kid, the lap you never thought you would get to. You are excited about the end but every step is starting to feel a bit heavy.

I am getting really excited about the new arrival and at the same time a bit conscious about the actual labour and about being a good mum.

Feelings, thoughts and I presume hormones are flowing through my mind and body and that’s why I have decided to write this blog. I need to stay busy until D-day. This blog is about me, my pregnancy and becoming a mother for the first time. I’ll share my experience being pregnant and about being a first time mother and I hope to hear about your experiences and thoughts about pregnancy and motherhood.

My lovely neighbour and friend Emma, who is also pregnant and in week 30, suggested this is a great way to keep a diary and something I can look back at. I thought that was really nice.

So welcome, welcome to MamaBlog with Stial

  2. STIAL actually stands for “Swedish Twang In Auzzie Land”. I thought of it a snowy day in the UK, before I moved to Oz. I wanted to open a Scandinavian deli here in Melbourne and thought this was a bit of a fun and individual name. I haven’t yet opened a deli but the name stuck and it is now the name of our trust and company.
