[...] The Co-ed Barbecue. This is the format of shower I requested, due to my belief that celebrating the baby ought to include parents of all genders. I’m still grateful for this lovely party, hosted by my childhood neighbors, because it was there that my husband and I received some truly helpful advice from a new father. [...]

My husband had a much harder time during the first 3 months – at least I had the biology attachment to see me through. We’re trying for a second and we JUST talked about how hard the first bit was but now we know how amazing being mom and dad can be and how relatively fleeting that early hard time is. This second will be our last … I wonder if we’ll feel differently about the less than pleasant stages knowing they won’t ever happen again. Any 2nd time moms experience that?

So true… My husband’s co-worker also calls babies during that first 3 month period as “black holes of affection”… Basically the same premise that there isn’t any ROI. So true and often unsaid. Thankfully they are so darn cute that it doesn’t matter.

Being less than 3 weeks in with this little guy, I loved your ROI analogy, and very much needed it today. Thank you so much.

Hey, so first off your blog is super cute.. Second.. I am not a mommie yeeeett.. nor am I prego.. yeeeet.. but I have a heart for stay at home moms (currently a military stay at home wife myself). So some of my current endeavors include cloth diaper/baby stuff sewing which leads me to lots of idea filled mommie blogs, yours included. I am also in the SLC area..

So on to the point. I am a consultant for the pampered chef and on the hunt for some mommy groups/families/folks interested in test driving my newest theme show “Mom’s and Tot’s”.. which will focus on how to use Pampered Chef kitchen tools to make healthy homemade baby foods and snacks etc.

So as a well connected and creative SLC mommy.. do you know any groups in the area or referrals who might me interested in having a cooking class in their home/or at a meeting? Thanks so much and keep blogging.. I’m excited to return when mommie status kicks in!
