New Special Segment: Motherhood - the good, the bad and the Oh No You Didn't!

There have been millions of book written about parenthood, becoming a parent and all that you will experience. They are helpful, informative and can be some what comforting. Advice from well-known doctors, psychologists and well parents. It's so great especially when you have 9 super easy months to read them all right???

NOT! Come on really! I may not have had months of prep or years of raising a child from egg to teen, but I've been around enough to know that there isn't a book out there that is the end all be all. So Yes, you will need to grab a few books to well "get ready". HAHA isn't that funny when people say I'm not ready for children. Honestly, they are probably right, but in reality you can't ever be "ready".

Just when you think oh I am ready now...then well the babies don't come, you get more than one baby, you have a easy first trimester and the rest suck, gestational diabetes, baby issues and I can go on. BUT what they do tell you is that parenthood and for all purposed going forward Motherhood is a blessing any way you get it. Be it "normally", IVF, Adoption, surrogacy, guardian ship, foster parent and so forth.

This new segment will appear every once in awhile as it is now part of my life. Warning, this is not a parenting guide, I am not perfect, I can't really cover babies (but feel free to write in I'll post it), it may make you laugh, it may make you cry and it may make you say "oh no you didn't!"

Lessons #??? - Gosh who is counting

If it took you 1 hour to get ready to go somewhere, add 30 more minutes if you have a small human with you that is able to express their own free will.

Things people don't tell you...your purse is really not your purse anymore, but a community bag that will hold toys, snacks, other people's sunglasses, Kleenex - clean and dirty, band-aids, anti-bacterial lotion, trash, hair-ties and well so much more. I will never make fun of my friend that carry those suitcase purses again!

Things people don't tell you (part 2)...you will feel like a failure A LOT (or maybe it is just me), but if they are still alive and breathing at the end of the day, I hear you are doing ok.

more to come...also say tuned for "she said what!"
