The Mornings Are

At 9 weeks and 5 days

Learning Stuff

This investigation begins the much needed exploration of baby-related products and why there are just so many. (Mothers tell me, which do I chose?) I intend to review products and absorb the multitude of variety that is, and surrounds, infants, expectant mothers, and their loved ones. As an expecting and totally oblivious mother, I will also turn a critical, ever-watchful eye, on the children's market, as well as those targeting parenthood, including routinely usables, like shampoos, to the fantastic world of children's literature.  Today I am 11 weeks pregnant and fully hope to have a grasp on the expanding market and what is healthy/necessary/fun for my family by week 42. This investigation is not all business. After all, understanding the rippling world surrounding our infants includes ourselves. Personal musings, on the experiences of pregnancy, and expectations, I hope, will give a more accurate view of the all preparation and frustrations that come with new motherhood.

I am jubilant, curious, and unprepared.
