About

This blog is basically about me, as a mom. So, I guess the new me.

I’m a first time mom, just 5 1/2 months in. We welcomed our baby boy into the world on May 22, 2012 at 12:40 a.m. It's been a huge adjustment, but I'm loving it *most* of the time.

I'm calling this blog 24/7 because that was the first big adjustment. Everyone knows that being a parent is a 24 hours, 7 days a week thing. Even when they're older, you don't stop being a parent. But I don't think you can ever know how it will hit you, and how you will adjust, until that first time after the baby comes when you actually realize for real that you don't get any breaks. There's no real escaping. You might get a few minutes or hours to yourself, but your mind and your heart are changed forever and your role as a parent is still with you even if the kids aren't.

It’s been an interesting journey so far, and I’ve learned things about myself I never would have dreamed. Motherhood really is a whole new world, and I’ve only just begun!
