Sigh...



I've already managed not to keep up with this thing, I'll try harder, I promise. I think I'll try to write a few "retroactive" posts about experiences these past couple of months (Mia's birth, working, new business and family visits to name a few).

It's chilly here, in the 50's and 60's. Mia and I bundled up and walked to Walgreens to pick up some pictures and to the bookstore. It has been quite challenging to work out these past couple months, so I try to walk as many places I can with Mia in the stroller or carrier. Thankfully, we live where there are several places we frequent within walking distance.

As I type this Mia is eating. How do you type while feeding a child? Let's just say I'm slowly learning how to do many things with one hand.

Here are a couple pictures of what Mia looks like lately.

Give it a try...

Since becoming a mother a mere 40 days ago, millions of thoughts have been swirling around in my head. What to do with all these thoughts? I mentioned to my husband that I'd thought about starting a blog. He said I should, and that he would read it. So I decided I would. We'll see how often I can maintain this, but I'm wondering if this might be a great outlet for all these millions of thoughts. Thanks to those of you who have been blogging, you have inspired me. I've found in the past 40 days that hearing what other new mothers are experiencing has encouraged me. I've also appreciated hearing and reading honest and authentic words about this crazy thing we call parenting. My attempt will be to contribute to this conversation honestly and authentically. So here's a little slice of this world from my view...
