A first child, a first smile, a first tooth, a first haircut, a first step, a first word...there are many "firsts" in the journey of parenthood. As a mother of two, I have experienced many of these "firsts" with my own children and I know I have many "firsts" still yet to come. Some I will embrace (like a first place finish in a swim meet) and some I will want to delay (like the first heartbreak of a teen crush). It is inevitable, our children grow up without our consent. They continue to have "firsts" just as we do as parents. We all remember our first gray hair, right?
Well as I sit here today, with my Mac in my lap, I am experiencing another "first" of my own. I am blogging. I am a blogger. I have a blog. A few years ago, these words were not in my vocabulary. Now I can't make it through a day without saying some derivation of the word "blog". I have read many blogs in the past...happy, intense, silly, political, humorous...I have enjoyed them all for what they offer.
My blog, The Crib Sheets, is a new feature from The Baby Squad. I chose this name because of its double entendre - the obvious meaning of bedding for a baby's bed, and alternately, a cheat sheet, a concise set of notes used for quick reference. My intention is to provide new and seasoned parents with helpful tips and information to get them through all of their "firsts". My years as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner have given me insight, knowledge and many funny tales. I hope that you continue to read and follow my blog and see how it grows.
