I'm Amanda, the other new mom. Much like Annie, I'm here because I'm interested in sharing the things I've learned since getting pregnant a year and a half ago. And also, I'm here to tell you the truth. The things that other moms either won't mention at all or will totally gloss over, and then you'll have a baby and think you're going crazy because no one told you it would be like that and it's so HARD, but then you'll realize no - everyone feels that way and everyone thinks it's that hard, and then you'll probably find the first mom you see and nearly strangle her for not warning you, and she'll choke out that even if she'd tried to warn you there's no way you would have believed her. And you know what, moms? It's true. You won't believe us until you've been there, in the trenches, having what feels like early-onset-menopausal hot flashes because you just put the baby down for a nap and you think you might possibly have heard a tiny whimper and he/she CANNOT WAKE UP YET. But even though you won't believe us yet, it's still important to put the information and support out there, because someday you'll realize you need it.
You're welcome.
And also welcome. To our blog.
