Babies, Babies, Babies

I have noticed something...Young Mom's Blog... now that I'm on my way to Mommyhood I am wondering if I too will fall into the category of the Mommy-bloggers. I can't seem to find the time now to even log onto my computer to check my personal e-mails or to paint my much needed toes, let alone post things about the status of my growing baby and how their little arms and legs look like the michelin man. I love my baby already so much- Derrick already is such a proud Daddy. I am thrilled to have the support from both of our families. I would love to say that I am going to keep my "online journal" for my child so they know about everything during their growing years- but I am thinking realistically here- Where do mom's find the time between diaper changes, feedings, clothes changes, diaper changes, baths, more diaper changes, keeping the house clean, and work? I'm sure my perspective will change during this pregnancy- right now all I can thing about is getting all of the baby stuff ready while I'm still not waddling- and picking out baby names- and making sure the house is baby-proof (even though I know it will be well over a year before the baby can even get into anything). As for baby names- I cannot wait until we find out the gender of the baby so we can stop calling it Fe Fe (the fetus)! but then that also opens a whole can of worms- do we tell people what we are having, do we decide on a name or wait to see what the baby looks at- who will be right...Derrick (thinking its a girl) or me (boy)? and what we are going to have to teach our child about saftey and growing up in the world-but not of the world? Teaching our innocent child that there are bad people out there- but also to see the good in those that are different. Alot of emotions and questions keep coming up- I think its just pregnancy Annika coming out- This blog no longer is about Mommy-bloggers but about crazy pregnancy rants.
