So I am a 26 yr old SAHM (stay at home mom) who has the best 3 month old son, Carson. Now we must get one thing cleared up, THE ONLY reason I am able to be a SAHM, is because of Carson's father, my SO (significant other), Kyle. We get to live in a beautiful house with a wonderful yard, that Carson will be able to run around in, because of his hard work and determination to provide the best for his family. And for that, my love, we thank you. NO, Kyle and I are not married, and if you have an opinion about us bringing a child into the world and not having said vows, then you best move on, because our lives are unconventional, and not being married is just the start!
Carson is a little spit fire, like his father, but hasn't had the smooth sailing start to life that every parent hopes for when they find out they are expecting. He has an on going issue with his liver that has caused us to venture back and forth to Drs. appointments and the hospital more times than I ever imagined we would in his first 3 months of life. I will explain more about this in another post!
I grew up in a single parent household with an older brother, so the dynamics of a two parent household are new to me, and it's been interesting figuring out how we are going to parent Carson because my SO had a similar (not identical) upbringing. I am hoping that by sharing my stories here, another mom will be able to read them and realize that no, you aren't a terrible mother because yes, we all have no clue what we are doing!
And if you are expecting your first child, I say to you the words of a very popular movie character, "May the odds be ever in your favor!" (The Hunger Games, please no one sue me for using that on here!)
