Whether your a mother to be, a father to be or just someone interested in parenthood in general, welcome! I hope my journey enlightens, brightens and encourages you in your journey as well. My goal is to document the process of my pregnancy and raising two children so I may share the details to help you better understand whats ahead of you as a parent to be.
As the title of my blog suggests, this isn't my first time around the block. I already have a loving, although be it stressful, 6 year old little boy. That journey still continues, but I have a new outlook as a parent for this second round because I have learned from common mistakes and am ready to apply that knowledge to this pregnancy and child. Even with my acquired knowledge, I know there is still much to learn. Which brings us to the first part of lesson number one in parenthood: You are never ready to be a parent.
Did I scare you? I hope not. Don't get me wrong, I am sure you are going to be an excellent parent. My point is that no matter how well you prepare, you will encounter something along the way in which you have no idea how to handle. Parenthood is a lot of instinct as well as trial and error. Things that occur with some children may never occur with yours, just as your child may be a first in others. You just have to trust your instincts in these situations and do the best you can. That is the second part of lesson number one: Do the best you can.
I am here to help prepare you as much as is humanly possible, then it's up to you to trust your knowledge and instincts to guide you through. It's a tough job but the most rewarding of all. I hope you continue with me along the way, if not only to gather knowledge but to get a few laughs as well.
