[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about Maisie... only one child.[/quote]

Maisie was quite a surprise. You really weren't planning to get pregnant on the honeymoon and kind of joked about it, but after the initial shock you jumped right into the whole parenting thing. Soon after seeing those first ultrasound images, you starting buying some of your favorite childhood books....In The Night Kitchen, The Hungry Caterpiller, and Good Night Moon. Your husband took a little longer to wrap his mind around the fact that he would be both a new husband and  a new dad in the same year, but once he saw belly starting to grow, he also became very excited and he has proven to be a very doting father and husband. You went with the Bradley method of childbirth and are proud to share your birth story with anyone who will listen. It still amazes you that you were able to get through childbirth without any pain medication. Maisie has had some mild developmental delays but seems to be catching up and your mother has been reassuring you that you were also a little behind in walking and talking, but eventually caught up and did just fine. Mothering has proved to be more overwhelming than you ever imagined. All of the different approaches to sleeping, feeding, and even carrying a child! You aren't a hard core attachment parenting nut, but you do agree with a lot of Dr. Sears' advice and you have done the co-sleeping thing since it meant everyone got some sleep vs the the weeks of attempted sleep training that proved to be disastrous and traumatic. You live close enough to the zoo to take daily walks with Maisie and it really is the highlight of each day. You love seeing how alert and curious she is about all of the sounds and colors. You wonder if she will one day grow up to be a zoologist. Wouldn't that be cool? You have been struggling to find a playgroup with like minded mamas. It hasn't been easy. Some groups are clearly more conservative and preppy than you are cut out to be. Other groups are too serious and rigorous with all of their expectations. It's just a damn playgroup. Who cares what kind of snacks get brought? Other groups are way too hippy, dreadlocky for you. You are starting to worry that you won't find the right group of mama friends, but you will and it will be a lifesaver. You are a good mom and Maisie is lucky. [/quote]
