A Tale of Two Mamas
I can think of no more blessed event than the arrival of a new baby, and no time that is more exciting than the time leading up to that arrival. I’m baby-deprived (as you all well know!) and routinely subject myself to the rigors of WalMart just so I can flirt with OPB (other people’s babies) while cruising the aisles and standing in line. I also get regular fixes online by visiting mom blogs and soaking up doses of baby yumminess. A Tale of Two Mamas shares the life of two moms raising an adorable almost three-year-old daughter. They’re apparently enjoying the challenge because they’ve decided their little family needs to expand. This time they’re sharing everything from day one.
I really do mean day one! In The Seven Dwarfs they shared baby’s first picture - as an embryo! I remember my pregnancy over thirty-six years ago and marvel at how far we’ve come. How amazing is it that expecting parents today can know every little thing about their babies from conception to birth? Baby books today start nine months earlier than the ones we kept back in the dark ages and can include pictures of every stage of pregnancy. What an exciting time to be making a baby!
Embryos are very cool, of course, but they’re not proof-positive that a baby will be coming, so our mamas just had to share the good news when they knew one of their little dwarfs was going to continue the journey. They were clearly obsessed with being certain that the result of their pregnancy test was accurate, so they repeated it - again and again and again and again and again, lol! Then they lined up all of the pregnancy tests like a row of advertising pens and took a picture for their blog. Yeah, I could see doing that!
A Tale of Two Mamas is a pleasure to visit. The blog is nicely designed and efficiently organized, with slices of their everyday life filling the spaces between updates on their family growth. Their stories are mostly upbeat and cheerful, though little things like car trouble and insensitive utrasound techs are part of life, too. They don’t let those things keep them down, because the joy they experience through their daughter and the little bean keep them centered. Go check them out and make sure you vote in their poll: Will baby number two be a boy or a girl?
A big mahalo to Chuck Foxtrot for tipping me off to a great place to go when I’m jonesing for a baby fix!
