Pregnancy and discoveries

As I looked back from the first moment I found out I was pregnant, my body went through a 360 degree changes during pregnancy. I realized how difficult it is for woman to be a mother. Women carry the baby for 10 months while watching what we do and eat. We go to doctors often and special treatments as we age or as our physical health need. We go through educating ourselves how to be parents and what to expect as the baby approaches.

For me and my husband, we found new respect for staying-at-home mothers especially single mothers. My husband and I took a Lamaze class to educate ourselves. It was very useful for first time parents. I would recommend first time parents to take it. Knowing the topic of pregnancy and parents is vague and I know I will repeat the subject again because I am not specific on anything here. One thing for sure is that we rush to buy a lot of stuff which we wished we didn’t. One of the items is the diaper bag. We shopped and bought one. Later, after our Lamaze class ended, we got a diaper bag from Enfamil. And after giving birth, we got another diaper bag from the hospital from Similac. So now, we have 3 diaper bags at home. We did not however buy a new crib, changing table and clothing. We got used ones either from craigslist or from hand me down from family or friends. We did spend a lot of money on a high chair/table which is convertible/adjustable heights. It has 3 uses. 1) It can use as a high chair for the baby. 2) It comes with a chair so it can be used as a table for little children to sit and draw. 3) It can be used as a side table next to the couch as we are doing right now until the baby gets older. It has wheels so we can roll it anywhere. It is also adjustable so we can adjust its height for the baby or for our use. When we finally received this item, my husband regret spending that much on it. After using it as a side table, he loves it and considering buying a used one online (ebay) for a cheaper price. I do not think we will as I told him. Another wonderful truth I found after being a mother is Huggies newborn diapers are better than Pampers. Huggies newborn diapers have a cut that is better fit for the baby’s attached umbilical cord.

Woman in Transition

I have been an independent career woman until I got married and have our first child. I am now staying home (temporarily) raising our baby girl and attempting to start my first blog on life in general as a woman in transition. I will touch different areas of life such as career, parenting, relationships, culture and whatever that's interesting that comes up.
