Half the battle of having a new baby is figuring out what works for your baby. Some stuff I swear by may not be true for you at all. Because of the need for another perspective to help you all, I have invited Emily (you may remember her from My Second Husband) to be a co-contributor to Keeping it Simple. I am so ecstatic to reintroduce her to you! Emily had a preshrunken baby girl in June. She laughed when I asked her to contribute saying, "I am the exact opposite of Keeping it Simple and budget shopping." To which I replied, "That is perfect! It will be great to have a fresh perspective from another new mom. Plus, Keeping it Simple is more about providing useful information in one place and being to the point."
SOOOO...Without further ado, please meet Emily. She wrote an introductory post for us today.
I found out I was pregnant with "GiGi" on October 14, 2010 and my head immediately started spinning! My type A, first born personality always has me asking questions in hopes of gaining as much information as possible about any and every situation I am in ... so that I am not caught off guard and essentially always in control. Pregnancy took this compulsion for information and my need to be in control to a whole new level!!! I researched products, read books, talked with other mothers, read blogs and websites, attended classes ... if it was available to me, I took advantage of it ... in hopes of being as prepared and informed as possible.
GiGi is now almost three months old and we could not love her more!!! I love being her mommy ... and luckily motherhood has come fairly naturally to me ... considering I had no memory of ever changing a diaper before GiGi was born. I believe that my smooth transition into motherhood is a direct result of all the crazy things I did to prepare for her arrival and I hope to share those things with you every now and then! So ... cheers to guest blogging and "Keeping it Simple"!!
We are thrilled to have you Emily! Can't wait to hear more about your adventures with Gigi! What a great picture of you two!
