not another mom blog

I have started and killed many a blog. And that might very well be the future for this one. But I do suspect birthing and motherhood will leave me with many thoughts, fears and realizations that I just might consider worthy enough to share with the world.

Also, I'm one of the first amongst my friends to be a mama, so perhaps by recording this journey I may be able to impart some knowledge or at the very least some def-do-nots for them.

I'm also planning for a home birth. So with the majority of information out there geared towards hospital births, I hope to shed some first experience light to anyone considering this option.

I'm a contract graphic designer who will ultimately be unemployed while I take care of the baby. So I will be sharing the experience of raising baby with a single income - fun times!

And finally... Yoga. A big part of my spiritual core. How will I fare in maintaining a home practice when running to the studio just isn't an option? And how will yoga inspire or influence how I raise my baby? How I deal with the stresses of new mommydom?

There is and will be so much to discuss. As you can imagine at 205 days preggers, the questions and thoughts are already piling up in my mind about what the near and far future hold.

My greatest challenge will be sticking to the commitment of keeping the blog. Here goes nothin'.
