I am sorry i have been so lazy with this blog. I enjoy keeping it up, as I hope you enjoy looking at it, but unfortunately life gets in the way of many of the things I like to do, to make room for the necessities.
I wanted to share this article with you, because I could relate to it so well. I am sure many of you moms out there will also relate. I would love to hear your comments on it.
I read it in Fit Pregnancy, the Aug 08 issue.
"I knew exactly how I was going to look and feel when I was expecting. My pregnant profile would be buff-with-a-bump, outfitted in snug tops and hip-hugging jeans that would accentuate my belly. And while I'd had friends who gained (gasp!) 30-plus pounds during their pregnancies, I wasn't going to put on an ounce more than the advised 25. Imagine how shocked I was to find myself in sloppy sweats, craving cheeseburgers and dry-heaving into a trash can every five minutes...Never say Never. In the throes of life, things change. When you've labored for two days and your doctor says your choices are and epidural or a C-section, you may find yourself opting for something formerly unthinkable. When you've bounced, rocked, and swaddled an inconsolable baby for six hours, it may occur to you that getting her to sleep-even if it means popping in a pacifier or nursing her in your bed-might be better for both of you than sticking to you guns.
I've still got volumes to learn about parenting, but here's what I know: You don't have to decide today how you're going to act for the rest of you life. It doesn't matter how anyone else does it either. Stay true to yourself and your instincts. And don't judge another mom until you've driven a mile in her minivan". --Jenna McCarthy

I can say I have experienced something similar when I thought I won't do some things with my child, but when I came to that stage, I wasn't so sure what I should do and sometimes I even changed my mind about it. This is so true, "And don't judge another mom until you've driven a mile in her minivan". And don't judge another mom at all (even if you are a mom too!) because each child is different, and you might never experience what she experiences with her child.
