Welcome

I remember finding out I was pregnant, we were both scared and overwhelmed by joy. I knew life was never going to be the same. From that moment on, I decided I had to do this right. I had to be the best mother ever. Little did I realize, there was no way to perfect parenting. There was hardly time for a shower. I isolated myself in the beginning, immersed in baby land. It was so wonderful; however, soon I looked around and I was alone, just me and my baby. I had pushed everyone else away. I wanted help but I didn't know how to ask. I felt judged by everyone, especially other mothers. My point of this blog is to reach out to other mothers and establish an online community where we feel comfortable to ask questions or simply share our stories. Many of us suffer from some sort of baby blues, and many cannot afford the help of a professional mental health provider. Although, I am not here try to compensate for a professional, I am hoping to help unite other mothers. I want to reestablish that sense of community because I do believe it takes a village. For most mothers, the internet is the only sense of freedom and connection to the outside world. I remember googling everything the first five years, and I found so many other mothers were out there doing the very same thing. It feels good to know, we are all on the same page. Right here, right now.
