Welcome!

Hello!
I guess my first post should introduce me and my son so you know who you're reading about and what we're like!
I'm Shannon and I'm 20. I have a 9 month old little boy called Henry. I'm what you would call a 'young mum'..I fell pregnant at 18 and had Henry at 19. The term young mum makes me think of an unplanned pregnancy, that's just society's views on it. Henry was very much planned by me and my fiancé. We didn't expect it to happen as quickly as it did, mind you!
Henry was born on 8th June 2014 at 12.27pm by emergency c-section. I had to be induced, he was 9 days late. I laboured through the night and then he got stuck so off I went, wheeled into theatre. Not the best first impression of childbirth! However, it wasn't traumatic in the slightest and I'm looking forward to doing it all again some day. In the distant future!
Motherhood has definitely changed me. I'm not scared or ashamed to admit that I was very selfish before becoming a mum. I was one of these people in restaurants who gets annoyed when a child starts crying. I always said I wasn't going to have children, they were clingy and snotty. But when I met my fiancé, that all changed. I wanted to have children but more specifically, I wanted to have his.
I'm what you would call an attachment parent. I bring Henry everywhere with me..and I mean everywhere! He comes with me to any hospital appointments I have, to the drs, just to the shops..9 times out of 10, he's with me. I also babywear a lot too and I love it! I don't breastfeed (I couldn't keep up with his demands) and I couldn't get on with cloth nappies (as much as I wanted to). I parent the way I do because that's what I feel is right..and unless a mum is doing something harmful, I don't judge her. Which is how a lot more people should be.
Anyway, that's enough rambling for now. I hope you've enjoyed reading my first entry.
