I am an only child (and only Grandchild on one side of my family) and I am expecting. I have no clue what I am doing; I am green as a gourd. I have no experience with children, so everything about being a 1st time mom is a new and neat experience to me. I am a Southern Belle at heart, and I love everything about my Southern Appalachian heritage; expect my musings to be in my vernacular. I am a scientist, so this writing thing does not come easy to me, I am still learning so cut me just a little slack.
I have a big warm heart, I am close to my family, and I am very down to earth. I have been told I am an odd bird at times, but that is part of what makes me special and interesting to the friends and family who love me. I am who I am, and those who love me don’t care, and those that really care, don’t love me.
I started this blog to concentrate all of the “Mommy and Baby” ramblings in one location. Some of my friends and family want hourly status updates on my belly, (if you are my dad you want a helmet mounted camera pointed at my belly streaming live video 24/7. Hahaha) other’s do not wish to be flooded with status updates about my thoughts and feelings. The blog makes for a wonderful “optional” read for anyone, (I can’t imagine who, but….whatever) who may be interested. The blog’s name was coined by my husband. I have been unusually cold, and my sweet husband was tucking me in bed, piling all 7 blankets on top of me for warmth, when he called me “The Princess and the Pea”. I hope you all enjoy a glimpse of the journey of a new mom, who has no clue what in the heck is going on. J
I have never really blogged either, so even responding to one new to me. You do have a huge heart. Just the little I know of you and the time I have spent with you, I have a gut feeling you are going to be a "natural". I should know. I have been around a lot of old and new moms, girls that grew up around babies and kids, and they have nothing on you. You have a God given gift, that for us is easy to see...for you it may be hard to see, but your confidence will come. Just know...you have a great resource, ME, lol. I lived apart from my sisters and missed out on being that support. I want to be there for you, in any and all that you may need. I also have some info for Case.
