I decided to start writing my own blog after realizing how passionate I am about my own pregnancy, labour, birth, and parenting opinions. Message boards don't cut it for me as there are too many people expressing their opinions and it is all so conflicting making it hard to get your point across without offending anyone. I figure on a blog you are choosing to read what I write. I have even volunteered my partner as a guest blogger so you can get the male perspective on certain situations such as the positive pregnancy test and of course labour!
So far motherhood has been a blast! My daughter Laura Olivia was born on Boxing Day. The most perfect little 7 lbs 11 oz to ever bless us with her presence. We have made a big move to the city where I am adjusting to life as a stay-at-home mom.
A little background on my parenting style so far; I believe in attatchment parenting and being there for our baby when she wants us. I never want to let her cry it out! Even the thought of her crying and me trying to ignore her breaks my heart right down the middle. I try to do babywearing, but so far Laura has not agreed on that with me. We will keep trying as we hope it is something she will grow into. I am exclusively breastfeeding which is something that makes me feel like a very empowered woman -- nourishing a living being with my milk alone. I also have cloth diapered since the day Laura was born, which will be another post all its own!
Please check back often as I plan on documenting my life as a young stay-at-home mom here in Vancouver.
