...and Rocco is his Name-O

This blog is inspired by other new moms who are openly sharing the ups, down, joys, and sometimes agonies of first time motherhood.  Documenting my time with Rocco seems like a good idea since the days pass quickly and he is a different baby from one moment to the next.  And my perspective changes just as often because I am becoming a different mother (woman, wife, friend) from one moment to the next.  I don't want to miss a thing.  I don't want to forget a thing.  And I think everyone else should be as interested in my amazing child as I am.  Since he IS the best thing to happen in a long time, right?  

I type this with baby on breast, covered in spit up.  I'm exhausted.  I smell like sour milk.  My house looks like college boys live here (minus the beer cans and Playboys).  My husband and I have not eaten at the same time in weeks.  That being said, I wouldn't change a thing.  I'm happy.  I'm grateful.  I'm willing to deal with all of the unpleasant aspects of parenthood.  The bliss outnumbers the miseries by far.

I'm not sure what I will write about.  Or how often I will have something to share.  But I hope you will join me on this adventure.

  1. I know the smell, mess and all the hoo ha
    motherhood's challenges grow every day but your love for your child will grow double with that each day, enjoy these little quiet moments because for me they were a blur with both of my kids because I was so hell bent on doing it all "right", just love him and all will be great! God bless your family!
