A new adventure

For the last 6 months I have been in pregnancy brain mode - in other words, I forget everything. I am very distractible and have a hard time remembering even the most important things. This is exactly the way I don't want to be, especially in this precious time when my children are small. I want to remember and cherish every moment I have with them. So, in the effort to mark this special time for posterity I have resolved to blog.

This also serves as an opportunity for me to start writing again. The past few years have afforded me very few opportunities to put pen to paper. If you would have told me when I was a teenager that I would not be writing after I got married, I would have laughed at you. But often our realities contain in them responsibilities and new passions that we cannot foresee when we are young. This realization has been bittersweet for me. What used to be a habit is now on the back-burner. That needs to change. Writing needs to be part of my routine for it to get done. I don't want to waste this opportunity to find time for writing in my busy days before my days get even more hectic. I am changing physically and Benjamin changes every minute, it seems, and the new baby comes in July. My world keeps changing...that is the only thing that will not change.

Case and point is Benjamin's latest development. Enjoy!
