Advice for New Parents
I decided to start this blog as a way to document my approach to caring for my first baby. My husband and I live in Seattle and our family is scattered everywhere in the U.S. and Canada. We didn’t have a lot of friends with small children so we were left to figure everything out without a lot of outside advice. From what I heard from other people this could be a good thing, but for us it was definitely a new experience and a challenge at times. We kept things on the low, without a lot of the traditional hoopla that surrounds the arrival of a baby which is what I prefer. That means that I did not want to have a baby shower (even though someone kindly offered to throw one for me), nor did I want anyone staying with us for the first two weeks after the baby was born (I know better now but more on that later). I hope that someone out there will find even just a small bit of my blog useful enough to be of use.
