Long Time Mormon, First Time Mom

Well here I am blogging... I'm a blogger... I blog. Matt decided I needed a hobby so he insisted I become a blogger. What TV, eating and sleeping are not hobbies? I beg to differ. Anywho I decided to take his challenge, I mean after all I am a mom now. I have always thought blogging was for LDS stay at home moms who wanted to boast about their children and their latest crafts or new recipes. To be honest reading blogs has been a great past time for me at work. I would look forward to a good LDS mom entry as I snickered to myself. So to all those Mormon mom bloggers out there that I secretly made fun of I must apologize. I have to admit I can now relate to them (except for the crafts and new recipes... ugh) and their "bragging" if you will. As I've said everyday since Wyatt arrived... its a total cliche but the love you have for your child is undescribeable. He is a total dream... my world will never be the same as I knew it and I don't want it to be. Although he is the greatest blessing I confess its been challenging as well... waking up in the middle of the night, breast feeding every three hours, cabin fever from not leaving the house, crying and not knowing what in the H is wrong, just to name a few. I have also become a "worry wart", as my Grandma would say. I worry he's not eating enough or he's eating too much or that he's too cold or too warm, that he poops too much or not enough... its a vicious cycle. I am really trying my darndest not to worry though... I mean he's still alive and that should say something about our parenting right? In closing I'd just like to say I wouldn't change it for a million trillion dollars and quit frankly I could really use a few bucks. As the Mastercard commercials would say "he's priceless".
Well there you have it, my first blog entry. Hopefully I will keep it up... who knows maybe I will become crafty or cook something one day.
