Well after much consideration and a little convincing by a close friend, I have finally decided to start a blog! Now onto the most important question of all time: WHAT THE HECK DO I WRITE ABOUT?!?! I guess I'll start off with one of the most important things that I've recently encountered: becoming a mother! But not just any mother, THE TATTOED MOM!!! Hahaha! I feel like a superhero now! Anyway back to the subject! Mom, mother, mommy, momma, my most recent title. It's absolutely crazy and still so very very surreal. My husband and I welcomed our beautiful little girl into our lives on October 7 at 7:19 p.m. The moment that that precious 7lb 14oz little bundle of joy was placed into my arms, I was in love. But it was a different kind of love of course. Obviously it was the love for my daughter, but it was also the love for a stranger, a stranger that I get the joy of guiding, and molding, and raising for the rest of our lives. The first few days it was so odd looking down at her and thinking "This is my daughter. This is who I've been so impatiently waiting for for the last 41 weeks. This is my daughter. WAIT, this is my daughter! Holy crap, this is my daughter. Someone, anyone, please pinch me!" Ok so maybe I wasn't that dramatic, but pretty darn close. I had waited most of my adult life for this moment and within the first 2 days of being home...I was balling like a baby while taking a shower. "Why?", you may ask, because even though becoming a parent is wonderful, joyous, and beautiful, it was also terrifying! Will I guide her in the right direction, will I mold her into a good person, will I raise her properly?? All in all am I going to be a good parent? I guess after years of diaper changes, teaching her to walk, eventually getting into potty training, the rest of her toddler years, sending her off to school for the first time, helping with homework, broken hearts, friendship fueds, mommy and daughter feuds, homecoming, prom, graduation, marriage, and children of her own, maybe, just maybe then she'll let me know how well of a job I did. Until that day, I'll just do the best I can, because that's really all I can do! So now that my blog cherry has been popped, I will hopefully do my best to keep this updated and anyone who actually reads this entertained, as for now I've got to go get myself into: MOMMY MOOOOODE!!!!
