46 days & 47 nights

46 days and 47 nights

This will be 8 weeks post Honeymoon.

Whats so significant of this date? well according to health websites, this is the time in which any couple planning any pregnancies should wait, following travel to countries/areas of high for Zika Virus.   Further research into this virus shows that it has been around for over 50 years.  It has become news to us in the UK following an outbreak in South America and the links between this disease and birth defects discovered for women who had the virus whilst pregnant, however the main reason we know about this virus is because of the Olympics.  There was talk of possibilities of not holding the games there because of the risk of contracting the virus and some athletes chose to stay away because of this.

It is quite extraordinary really, when faced with some facts of what has been going on in a country, some will choose for their own valid reasons to travel or not travel.

I have always been one to typically to continue to travel.

Being 35 years old, I have come across many variations of warnings about risks of having children after 30 years old.  Increased risks of birth defects and Downs Syndrome.  Working in healthcare where I come in contact with only sick children, makes one truly see the miracle and blessing of having a healthy baby!

There are some that simply wish for the baby to be a boy/girl, to fulfil their all time dreams of parenthood to that particular sex of child.  Boy or Girl is merely 1 aspect when one is faced with frequent warnings of risks.

Daydreams and imagination is a powerful skill to have.  They can mould our feelings and outlook on life.  Faced with the possible dooms and glooms of pregnancy post 30 years old... where are the joys? what happened to excitement? It is wise to be prepared, however is the worrying and living life with fingers crossed actually creating this underlying gloom/doom?


You google 30 years and pregnancy and see what you get...
I instant message my hubby and the emoji/sticker replies perk me up.  I feel better, because of an emoji sticker? wow...

I get distracted and start daydreaming into creating my own emoji stickers to express myself.  When I browse through the many different sticker albums I can purchase, none really capture what I want to express in the cute/fun yet sometimes wicked way in which I want to communicate.

Now my energy and focus is on creating my own.  I've registered to create my own, and have reviewed specs for the images, and now its down to me... whether or not I actually get down to creating them or is this a mere week's distraction from the possible glooms.

I calculated the income (after all fees and taxes) for each time my sticker album is purchased and it varies between 21p-42p depending on what I price them at.
Who knows where this venture will take us?

Well there are 46 days and 47 nights to utilise on this... hahaha
