Introduction

I am so excited to begin this blog! I've been considering this for so long and decided to jump right in. My purpose is to share my new motherhood experiences with fellow new and pregnant moms: most of which are embarrassingly comical and perhaps weirdly encouraging!

When my husband and I first found out we were pregnant I ran straight to the internet and googled every symptom I had. It scared the crap out of me. The blogs and mommy boards had me thinking my kid was going to come out with two toes, that I couldn't possibly breast feed and that I was definitely gonna have to get a C-section. Well, because I was clearly not in my right mind, I continued to read from these boards, apps and blogs for 9 months! I would sit down with my pregnant friends and we would stare at our phones in shock for hours on end... and our husbands would look at us like we were crazy. 

Foe example, one day I read like 20 threads deep on one of the baby app’s topics about the dangers of deli meat. Or the time before my 36-week appointment that I googled how much my baby should weigh (which by the way the doctors ARE NEVER RIGHT when they guesstimate that mess). I fell into every first time mom trap there is, from all the expensive baby products we bought and never even touched to “Pinteresting” the perfect nursery decorations for a room my kid hasn’t slept in once in the 8 and a half months he’s been here lol.

I digress. The moment my son was born all the crazy and scary stuff I read went out the window and I came to find that all of our journey’s are completely different. I certainly didn’t have a perfect and beautiful pregnancy (I pretty much only looked decent twice in 10 months, my shower and my maternity photos lol) but my sons birth was just that; absolutely perfect. Follow me as I embark to share my crazy new motherhood adventures and thanks for reading!!
