Welcome

Welcome to the ramblings of a first time mom. This is not to give advice on what you should or shouldn’t do as a first time mom or a mom/parent in general. This is just my views on my experiences with motherhood and parenthood. I will be honest about the good, the bad and the what the hell am I thinking.

One of the things me and the hubz have been repeating from the moment our beautiful daughter was born was that someone should really put together an instruction manual that they give you at the hospital that just gives you a run down of the potential things that can happen and whether or not it is normal. It would genuinely save lots of people a lot of stress and panic. This had me toying with the idea on possibly writing a book about my experiences as we go through raising our daughter and then I thought maybe trying a blog would be a nice starting point. Content comes out faster, readers might feel not so alone in what they are going through and maybe a bit of comic relief to give you a laugh.

So to introduce myself. My name is Shaquelle and I am the proud mom of a 9 week old. My life as I know it has taken a complete overhaul and I’m still trying to find my bearings. As I am typing this, my daughter is laying on my shoulder as we have just finished a feeding and since she has reflux I have to hold her upright for at least a half hour. In the 2 months since we had the baby and been home we have experienced so many new things that I am looking forward to and also am very terrified of what’s to come. I guess we will see so let the fun times begin...
