Mommy and Molly Introduction

I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself so you can know me and where I'm coming from as a Mom. I'm a 32 year old stay at home mom (SAHM) of Molly, who is currently 5 months old. I'm writing this blog as a resource of information, suggestions of products I love, and stories about my adventures with Molly. By no means is any of the information I recommend universal for every parent or every child, it is just what has worked for me. I am not a medical professional so if there are any questions about development or anything in that vein I would recommend seeking the advice of a medical professional.

Molly and I had some difficulties during the pregnancy and she was delivered via c-section at 39 weeks but she has since had no real issues and is growing up well, as well as a baby can. I, on the other hand, am experiencing some postpartum depression and anxiety (PPD/PPA) due to the overwhelming realizations of what being a parent entails.

At this time I would like to stand on my soap box for a moment:

If you are having problems with depression or anxiety I highly recommend speaking to your physician and/or pediatrician about it and reaching out to some resources such as Postpartum Support International. Not only is it good to know your resources but it is also a means of connecting with other moms (in case you are having trouble making new mom friends).

End of soap box moment.

 I hope that you will join Molly and I as we navigate this new world as parent and child. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me through the comments. Together we can celebrate #momcomplishments and #dadcomplishments, motivate one another and strive to make the world a wonderful place for our children.
