This is my first blog. I don't care who reads it or if anyone even does read it. It's for me, for Jason, and most of all for my son Rece. I love him. (Have you ever said that and really truly knew that you meant it with every single fiber in your being? It's a wonderful feeling. It gives me a glimpse, just a glimpse, of Gods love for us.)
This blog is a replacement for Rece's baby book. Here's the thing...I hate, loath, despise writing in a baby book. I don't know what it is about that stupid book, but I open it's cover and my mind just goes blank. I feel so much pressure to write the perfect thing; the precise words to convey to Rece when he is 30 years old and wondering if his mom thought he was the most perfect being ever created (which she does, by the way.) Is this a writer's block? I don't know. Maybe the book limits me? I hate that it tells me what to write about. "Mommy's first words when she saw you for the first time...?" ummm...what? I don't think Rece needs to know that. Really? 22 hours of labor, epidural did NOT work, vomiting, and a big ol'ring of fire in my hoo ha! Really? Who gives a *$#* what my first words were!
So anyway...not wanting to be limited by the baby book or forced to answer such silly questions, I am starting a blog. Each entry will be about what life is like with Rece. What new thing is he doing, saying, eating, pooping? Find it all here!
It may not be daily or weekly, it could be hourly or even just monthly.
You may be offended, you may laugh, you may cry, but you definitely will fall in love with Rece, if you aren't already!

Steph-what a great idea! I enjoyed reading your first blog can't wait for the rest! I'm to old to be an Auntie or do I have to be an adoptive nana? lol..thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea too! I can make comments on anything I want to add about Rece. Im glad your doing this.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I am very happy about the Blog, that way I can keep up on all the changes, my "little man" is making ... Mom (Nana)
ReplyDeleteWell, I wrote in my e-mail before you did your blog almost exactly what you conveyed. I meant to mention to you when we came to see you and Rece that, since you have had your first child, you now know what true, unadulterated love is and how can anyone say there is not a God when they see their first baby for the first time. God Bless and I am looking forward to your next emotion that sends you or Jason running to the computer. Of course we will love reading them.
ReplyDeleteI got a little teary eyed reading your blog because I feel so blessed to know that you are so happy! I know that God has blessed you in many ways since the last time I saw you and for this I am forever greatful! I am so excited to read your blogs about your life and your wonderful family! To see you as a mom, is such a blessing! I know you are a wonderful mom and I know that Rece loves you more than you will ever know! I am so proud of you! God bless you and your family! Can't wait to keep reading your updates!
