This post was written on January 2nd. Due to blogging mishaps (oops!) it will appear to be posted on January 18th for the first time. In other words, ignore the date on this post. Thanks!
My first blog post? One week from the due date of my first child.
I am by no means a professional blogger- or parent for that matter. This is my first child, so I’m basically learning everything as I go. The best help I’ve had so far is definitely my partner, Adam. He’s absolutely amazing and hides his impatience very well. I seriously don’t know how I would have done any of this without him by my side. I cannot wait to see him as a daddy!
My family and simply asking for advice from already mommies has gotten me through this pregnancy like a breeze! Since I’ve had such wonderful advice given to me, I would really enjoy returning some of that advice back to any moms (or soon to be moms) who are seeking help.
Now, like I mentioned before, I am NO expert. I haven’t even given birth yet…
So, let that sink in before I get any crazy judgements on how I decided to make it through this pregnancy- which was simply enjoying it as much as possible. I can only hope that enjoyment will carry on through being an actual parent! (Excitement overload to meet our little pipsqueak).
So, let’s just dive on in.
My name is Kalyn and I’m from Florida, but I followed my dream guy to Georgia and if you skip a few steps here and there, we end up right here at this blog post. We’re expecting our first baby and seriously couldn’t be more excited about it.
We’re one week from the due date and whenever we think we’re all set and ready for this baby to get here- BOOM! Something else pops up that we forgot or someone suggested something we absolutely needed to be prepared- and I’m all about listening to advice. I feel like when people say, “you can never really be ready for a baby,” they’re 100% correct. We could have planned this baby from the beginning, but lucky us, we were surprised with the best present you can ever ask for.
So, from day one of this pregnancy we have been going with the motions and finding our footing along the way, but it has already been one of the most magical experiences of my life.
Some questions you may already have and want some answers:
No, we don’t know if we’re having a boy, girl, or tyrannosaurus rex. We wanted to be surprised, and since we’re only a week away from the due date- I think we can manage holding on a little longer.
We do have names picked out.
Boy: Charlie
Girl: Charlee
 See what we did there? No drastic changes, just one letter difference. We didn’t have any reason for picking these names other than Charlie has always been my favorite name and somehow I lucked up and Adam liked it too! Oh, and now you see where the blog name comes in- Sorry, Charlee for all the mishaps I may have along the way of learning how to be your mommy 🙂
If you are interested in learning from this blog or are just amused to see how it all turns out, then follow along with me and Adam as we attempt this thing called parenthood. I’m thrilled (and of course nervous) to see it all myself.
