No More Mommy Blogs

    I haven't written a blog post in a long time and i've been having topics swarming around in my mind for so long that my mind is becoming far too cluttered to ignore them anymore!  As I've been trying to prepare myself to be a parent and the best mom that I can be....not the best mom in the world, because that's pretty unrealistic, but the best mom that I can be i've been a little overwhelmed to say the least.  I think all of us new mom's and mom's to be naturally feel this anxiety, and have some sort of desire to cram every kind of baby knowledge goodness into our brains in the quickest amount of time so that we can be ready RIGHT when our babies enter into this scary world.  (or maybe i'm the only slightly looney one out there)
     In preparation for little baby H I've read parenting books galore, taken baby classes from the local women's clinic, and have prayed to the heavens that I don't mentally scar my first born in the trial and error process of becoming a first time mom.  Every time I start to feel a little more comfortable with the idea of bringing my sweet little girl into this world I read a fun and insightful mommy blog on Facebook and feel instant confusion and unease again!  I hear story upon story, warning upon warning of baby horror stories...of do's and don'ts...and what scares me the most is that they all seem to have an interesting and valid point of view.  Surely they are all so conflicting that they all can't be right! Don't get me wrong, I love advice from my family and friends the problem isn't that I don't like what they have to say....the problem is that I like what ALL of them have to say!
    Through all of the confusion i'm lucky to have a smart and helpful husband.  I've decided not to read any more of those interesting looking mommy blogs and articles that litter my Facebook (well isn't this just another mommy blog about mommy blogs, how hypocritical Kelsey!), nono this is a blog about not reading mommy blogs...totally different ;) I can't believe everything I read and every piece of advice I hear because soon ill just go completely bonkers.  I have to believe that my husband and I will find our own method of madness and that our little girl will love us all the same...the truth is that all of those blogs were right...They were right for those mom's SPECIFIC children, but my children will be different.  My children will need my method, and that's gotta be good enough for me.
