When I found out I was pregnant I knew I was going to be a pro with my baby! I am the youngest of four and I have had the privilege of watching my older siblings have children. I was also a first grade teacher so I believed that would somehow also make me an instant expert.After all I am around children all day! I will never forget the feeling I had when I got to take my beautiful baby boy home from the hospital and he was all mine…..SHEER PANIC!!!What happened to all my expertise?!? I suddenly realized my hubby and I had no idea what we were doing and are indeed a couple of ROOKIES! My friend Claire gave me a wonderful book about being a new Mom and I loved this quote.
It’s no surprise that everything feels different. When we give birth, we are as newborn as our babies. Relish this feeling, and enjoy seeing the world with new eyes.
This said it all BUT I wasn’t relishing this feeling! As a self-proclaimed control freak I definitely wanted to be an expert. Having Sebastian has taught me a lot.
You can’t be an expert overnight!
They wouldn’t sleep through the night for a while!
Your pediatrician doesn’t always have all the answers!
As my Mom would say “It’s a guessing game.”
Sometimes they have “hold me days”
Nothing is better then their smile and giggles
I can’t wait to share my journey about being a “Rookie Mama.” This blog will be about all my favorite baby products. In being a Rookie Mama I have tried and returned so many things and I would love to help some of you in your many baby purchases. I will also be blogging about this amazing journey as Sebastian’s mama.
