I procrastinated for an entire year.
But now that I am started it might be hard to stop. I love writing. I wrote an incredibly detailed pregnancy journal that I can cherish forever.
I want to have many kids. I haven't decided what number "many" actually is but I am ready to roll!
Anyways to the point....why this blog? my mother gave me one of those desktop calendars for my birthday (you know the one where you rip off a paper a day at a time to reveal something witty)
anywho... This particular calendar makes me soooooo mad!
Everyday I read it, it quotes some horrible truth about being a mother that I would rather not think about like this one:
"Remember when you had the perky cheerleader body, and now you literally have to scoop your body parts into your clothes?" this example is not actually real as I don't want to offend the makers of the calendar but you get the idea.
I mean really??!! a lot of the so called quotes really fuel my fire!
I am working hard to (quickly) get my bod back in shape, so it is like I never left my pre-pregnancy body. More on this later...
So I really want to go against a lot of "norms" and I think I have already started. Some examples may be:
1. We don't own a stroller or ever want one. Unless it is given to us and is really cool. we have a backpack and a sling...good enough
2. I exclusively breast feed. I think it is the best most wholesome way to start off my child's life.
3. I use cloth diapers and wash cloths instead of disposables and wipes. I do cheat occasionally (outings, overnights, etc.) but in the end I think we have bought a total of 3 packs of diapers.
4. We don't have television and I like it that way. we do own a T.V. but it is used for the occasional movie, Gooberfish has never seen television and the other day he was awake for our viewing of "Megamind" he actually watched in silence! I think this tool will be great in the future.
So to wrap it up this is about all things mom and also life other little adventures :)
