Me, A Blogger?

I started my blog because my husband and I had just moved to Colorado Springs and I got pregnant a month later. All of our family and friends were back in Cali and weren't able to see the progression of my pregnancy. I was given a chalkboard as a gift from my brother-in-law and his wife and thought it would be cute to do updates every two weeks. I got the weekly belly update idea from a good friend of mine. This was the perfect way to make all our loved ones feel like they were apart of my pregnancy. And now it's a great way for me to look back and remember it all since my memory is horrible. (I'm making it into a book). A little bit after, I got my first 2 followers (2 girls who were due around the same time I was.) I never realized how fun it would be to follow along with other pregnant women and their amazing journey of becoming a mom. ( funny thing is, these two girls had their babies the 8th & 9th of September and I have Jax on the 10th!) after that, I started getting more followers, and it's been so much fun connecting with everyone! Even though I don't personally know all of you, I want to thank you for allowing me to be apart of your journey! I feel like I have a great connection with a lot of you and it's so much fun watching your little ones grow and comparing notes for first time (and second time) mommas. And a BIG thanks to all your sweet comments on my post about having endometriosis. You have shown me so much kindness and it really warms my heart.

  1. I am so happy you decided to blog, as am I happy I did the same. I would have never met such a wonderful mommy with a son who has the same name as my own. Twinsies! Anyways, you do a great job at blogging and everything else you do with what little free time you have as a mommy. I know how hard it is, even though I am still fairly new to the whole mama thing. Just wanted to show a little love and congrats on your new business :)
