As a first time mom I am always amazed at what I never knew about motherhood, the list just keeps getting larger.
Sleep
I am amazed by how much I don’t sleep! And I still seem to function fairly well each day. It’s crazy! Yet I will admit that I do miss sleeping. If I ever get eight hours in a row again I will be shocked.
Baby’s Firsts
As a first time mom I am clueless on milestones. I mean I know when they should occur, but I would of never thought that I would be confused about them. For example, when my daughter was four months old she said, “No.” I swear she did and it was at just the right time. And when she said, “Mama” for the first time, it was perfect timing as well.
Were these instances all coincidence or real firsts? There should be a first time mom handbook somewhere.
Well, at least I am not alone in the world of mommyhood. I have my friends at MOMS to bounce ideas off of and they are great because MOMS members are both seasoned mamas and first time moms – so I get both sets of opinions. But there are also other blogging first time moms on the Internet. I love reading the First Time Mommy blog and the GH Mom Blog. Both ladies make me feel like I am not the only first time mom out there!
