Upon having a baby, I realized there was so much I didn't know. I had so many questions and there is just so much information out there to study. There are the doctors and the psychologists; the teachers and the statisticians. But what about just plain old moms telling you their personal opinions? Judging from trial and error? I mean you can always go to books such as "What to Expect"--which is definitely helpful--but reads more like dictionary and there is just so much information. All in all I felt pretty much on my own. I have an 8 year old step-son, and assumed (just because of his sheer existence) that my husband would have all sorts of knowledge on the subject when it really came down to it. But when the day came I was surprised to find he was just as (if not more) clueless than I was!
So...we were left to discover the ups and downs, and ins and outs of parenthood alone, together. Of course we had plenty of family and friends to go to for help and advice though. We found many "tried and trusted" remedies from other parents and also went through much "trial and error" along the way. Our baby girl is almost 7 months old and we're still only novices. We're learning so much and every day it seems that things change. It's as though there is no sure-fire method for anything when it comes to babies, but when I do seem to find a breakthrough I want to shout it on the roof-tops--share it with every parent who crosses my path.
That's where this blog comes into play. Perhaps none will read it, or perhaps they will, but if one lonely soul finds something helpful written here, I've achieved my goal. It takes so much to find one tiny breakthrough with these little ones I thought why not at least share what I've found to work with the world, even if there's only one other baby out there who it might work with? And why not let others share their thoughts along the way too? So if you would like to join in on the sharing of ideas, methods, products, and tricks of the trade when it comes to parenting, please leave us a comment and you can join in on the madness too! If you're new to parenting and have any questions about our personal opinions on things, just ask!
Keep in mind, I'm a novice at this too. And anything I say on here is purely my own personal opinion. We'll discuss baby products, baby problems, baby patterns and anything else having to do with babies. So come on, let's get started!
And PS: This blog is created especially for Mak and Ang!
