The Mama

The original pre-pregnancy and pregnancy blog of a "Future" Mama. I started this blog end of November 2008, right as I was about to celebrate four years of marriage bliss, and when I seriously started to consider offspring. I've since blogged parts of my journey for Conceive Magazine's conception diaries, Parenting.com's Project Pregnancy, Bravado Design's Breastfeeding Diaries, and currently I share motherhood tips on Baby Center's Momformation blog and write about raising a biracial baby on My Brown Baby. The whole time I've documented the entire journey here on my personal blog.

People would tilt their heads when they saw the name of my blog but then realized I had no children... But then when I'd say "I'm a baby makin' machine that hasn't been switched 'ON' yet" they'd get it.

I'm a journalist, so I've always loved to write, and I'm finding blogging is more fun than I ever imagined. This blog started a journal of my journey toward motherhood and a place for me to post my goals, thoughts, and findings as I progressed towards the inevitable. I blogged about deciding when I want to be a mom, then changing my mind, then deciding I'm as ready and I'm going to be... Then yea, hubby's gotta agree, to finally switching the Baby Makin' Machine to "ON"... But still sometimes debating grabbing another pack of birth control. My first post explains the way it started.

I finally decided I was as ready as I was gonna be, and set a goal for September 2009. I guess it wasn't just my plan because October 2009 I found out I was pregnant... Officially becoming a Baby Makin' Machine.

Sometimes I'm a little sarcastic, other times I overreact, but most times I'm just hoping my story will be as fun to read with my family years from now as it is to write now.

Now I'm documenting my journey through motherhood. Come enjoy the ride!
