Here I am...

So here I am with my very own blog.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a blog-virgin by any means. I'm a blog addict and I read celeb-trash blogs everyday (I'm also a celebrity gossip whore which I'm sure you'll learn about me if you decide to stick around). I also write daily for a client's blog (I work at a PR firm), and my husband and I occasionally post on a blog we created for our son.

But this is MY first blog where I can write whatever I want, whenever I want (hopefully) and however I want. I'll try to adhere to my stupidly-vast knowledge of AP rules but then again, I might not, just because I don't feel like it.

I'll try my best not to use too many parentheses (but I really like them, so bear with me). I'll also try not to bore you (if there are any of you) with long ramblings of how I think my kid is the cutest I've ever seen or how I'm pissed at my husband for not cleaning up after himself - again. But I'm not promising anything because, as I said, this is my space and I can do what I want - so there *sticking tongue out now*.

What I am here for however, is to share, vent, discuss and learn about this crazy new journey I'm on as a new(ish) mother.

While pregnant, I had visions of how great it was going to be when I could dress my son up in his "cool" clothes, take him shopping in our "hip" stroller and rocking him to sleep in his "posh" nursery. While all of that has been great, I guess I didn't really think about stuff like - How much solid food should he be eating? What do I do if he hits his head? When is he supposed to start crawling and what's wrong with him because ohmygod all the other kids his age are crawling and I bet the reason he is not is because he's suffering from some crazy disease that has yet to be diagnosed and ohmygod what do I do? Ummm...yeah. See, attack of the stupid mom brain.

And that's why I'm here. Most of my girlfriends don't have babies (YET), my mom and mother-in-law (God love'em) don't remember when when my husband and I were babies and my pediatrician already has me on the red-flagged, crazy-mom list, so I have to limit my calling. Plus, you can only read "What to Expect" so many times and damnit, even it doesn't answer all my questions.

So I just need to share and write about my day to day worries, struggles and fantastic moments as a mom - just like the eighty billion other mommy bloggers out there. And in doing so, hopefully I can help silence my stupid mommy brain in the process.
