Well, I didn't keep a daily log but I do have a vivid memory of it all still(about the only thing I can remember these days.) I want to share my experience not just for all of you out there, but also so I have it forever.
This is not an advice blog, simply my sharing of my experience so you can feel a little more sane about the completely irrational thoughts you will encounter over the next, well, rest of your life. The one and only real piece of advice I have, and that works for me is, remember everything is just advice. Take it as that and just be smart and listen to yourself. Its your body, your baby, your family and your decision. Not your parents or in laws or doctors or friends or random weirdos on Facebook or old ladies at the bagel shop.
I'm going to break it into several different posts as follows:
First Trimester- Sleeping Beauty, well, definitely sleeping, and how we broke the news
Second Trimester- Thank goodness a bump is finally here
Third Trimester- The magic moments and ANXIETY
Priorities and working while pregnant
Important decisions and resources- How to Avoid Tyrants while getting the most out of them.(Baby naming, feeding, sleeping, and other factors)
Fitness and Food
Marriage and Sex: I will not be blogging about actual sex, although at this point I cant deny that I have now can I?
Delivery- I still don't understand the logistics
Baby and Motherhood the first month- Did I really consciously decide to do this?
Breastfeeding and feeding in general: Why cant they call it eating? I'm not a cow and neither is my baby
Baby and Motherhood after the first month-
Taking time for yourself:Otherwise you are no good to anyone
Baby and Mommy and Daddy and and and- Making it all work, or at least not giving up on it
I think that's enough topics and will get me fast forward to here. Eventually this is going to become our family blog site and move back towards, Welcome to Nevland, but for now, deserves its own little place in blog history.Youll see a few extra posts that were written real time. As I go back and read them I have to laugh! Boy oh boy did I not know what I was getting into! HA
