It's as good a place to start as any, the inception. Why start a blog? And why choose the topic of parenthood, as though it hasn't already been discussed ad nauseam and endlessly documented by every person who has ever had the joy and responsibility to be a parent? I hadn't thought of writing a blog until it was suggested to me by a friend and co-worker, they wanted to be able to stay in touch with me while I was off on maternity leave. Initially I didn't give the idea much thought because my life just isn't that fascinating and I have an inherent dislike/distrust of anything resembling a diary. I also (somewhat) correctly assumed I wouldn't have much time for writing a blog as a brand new parent.
So why did I change my mind and create this blog? Because I'm learning there are so many things you don't hear or know about before you have a child. In a very small way I wanted to help others however I can by at least making my lessons available to whoever is interested in reading them, that these words might help during some of those difficult times we face in life.
All that's left then for this first installment is to welcome you to my little blog about the things I'm learning about myself and life after having given birth to my first child. I don't profess to be an expert or that what I will share in this blog is the definitive answer to parenthood, everyone is different and every situation is different. This is just my experience, so if you are friend or stranger I hope you will take these words in the spirit they are offered, a perspective on one person's journey as a mom.
Welcome!
