If your a mom you know how lost you can sometimes get. Most of us, at least I, winged my way through the first 3 months. I didn't know what the Hell I was doing!! Lol. Good thing there is somewhere I could go to for advice and occassionally to vent. That site is Cafe Mom. This website is awesome!! Basically it was created for moms by moms. I'm in a group of moms that had babies in December of 2009. Which means all of our babies are pretty much the same age.
You can ask questions and get advice from other moms out there. It's like having a pen pal from all over the country giving you advice on how to for example: get your baby to sleep through the night, or tips on what to give your baby if he/she is teething. Sometimes moms just go on their to vent for example: My son won't stop crying!!! or my husband is an IDIOT!!! You know, normal mom things like that.
This website is a god sent. I love going on there everyday to see what other moms are doing and get advice from those who have gone through the same things I have. I highly reccommend checking it out.
Another thing I can't live without, is the floor gym. The floor gym is awesome!! Brady will play under the floor gym for at least an hour so that I can eat, clean or just plain relax.
The final and most important thing I can't live without is....da, da, da.....the binky!!! All shining in its glorious light of loveliness!!! Now for those of you who are against the binky, I say to you, Shut the bleep up. It calms Brady down in seconds and if you aren't a mother, you have no idea what it means to have your baby crying,very loudly, in the middle of the night for no reason at all. I don't know why it calms him down, it just does, and I love it. And I'm pretty sure it loves me too:)

Introduction
Hello All!! So I'm starting this blog for a few reasons. One being, I need a hobbie other than being a mom to Mr. Brady, and two, so that I can share my experience as a first time mom. Hopefully it can bring some laughter and good reading material to my friends and family.
As most of you know by now, Brady was born on December 9, 2009. After a grueling 32 hour labor, Brady popped into this world as perfect as I imagined. Actually I thought he would be smushed and blue and covered in...well you know. Anyway, he actually came out pretty perfect.
Those first couple of months were tiring, but well worth the sleepless nights. I finally after two and half years of trying to conceive, had my bundle of joy.
For those of you who don't know, Danny and I sold our condo and moved to a bigger home in Soquel, which is south of Santa Cruz, but very close to Capitola. It was extremely stressful and exhausting, but thankfully we are settled and happy in our new home. I also started back to work 2-3 days a week and Brady goes to daycare while I am working. I was lucky enough to have Debbie reffered to me from my friend Shannon.
Debbie is absolutely wonderful and says Brady is a mellow boy. I said, trust me he has his moments.
For the most part Brady is very mellow. He loves to look around at what everyone is doing around him. He also loves to laugh at his Daddy. So do I!!
As for me, I am enjoying getting back to work and settling into a routine with my little man. Danny and I are still looking for some time alone together, but enjoy our time with Brady even more.
This weekend, my mom is kind enough to watch Brady for a few hours, so Danny and I can go out for a motorcycle ride. I'm hoping the weather is nice, but if not, at least we will have some us time. Okay well, until next time. I have tons to write about but will save that for the next posting. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
