Unexpected Mommy

When I was pregnant I had a clear picture of what type of mom I would be. I would sit and think about what we would be like as parents and it seemed so clear.  and there was no way in Hell I was going to cloth diaper! EW! We would do whatever the pediatrician said and not even think twice about medicine. We would spoil our kids with toys and our kids will probably scream and throw temper tantrums in the ailes (spelling?) of grocery stores to which we would proudly ignore.


Everything changed once Sophia arrived. As any mother would say, I just want the best for her. We wanted to make sure that everything we give her was necessary and have continued to make truly informed decisions. Now, I am not saying that our way is the right way at all. It is just the right way for our family.


I am proud to say that I am a breastfeeding in public, cloth diapering, organic homemade baby food making, label reading/researching, thrifty mother. I am even planning on making our own cloth diaper laundry detergent and possibly cloth wipes!


And my baby? She is the happiest baby around! No documented incidents of public temper tantrums - yet. My point is that you should always be prepared to change. You may have an idea of what you'll be like as a parent before you are one, but you could be completely wrong! Once you have that little Love in your arms, you want nothing but the best for them and your point of view of the world completely changes. You are no longer Mrs. Whoever.

You are Mommy.
