The Beginning

My original thought was to write a book... I would still like to write a book, but with 3 kids 4 and under, I am not sure the book will get done for years and years.  I am not sure I am a great writer either, I think I have good ideas though!

This all started after one of my girlfriends had her first baby.  I believe it was day 3, and she called me in tears and wanted to know why I did not tell here what having a baby is really like.  Not the actual giving birth, but, the stuff and feelings that come after.  Believe it or not, what they show on TV and movies is not real.  You don't walk out of the hospital on air, sleep through the night, and have as active a social life as you previously did.

So, why don't we talk about what it's really like?  Why don't we share our real feelings?

Having kids is hard work and a lot of weird and unexpected things occur.  Having kids is awesome too, but there are a few things I wish I knew before having them!

So, I have decided to devout some time telling about your "I wish I would have known's" and you will read some of mine.
