So I want to be a Baby Mama. There I said it. I want to be a baby mama. Big step for a girl like me. I've been married almost five years to a wonderful man, we live in a lovely neighborhood and I love my job... blah blah blah blah blah. Seriously, I know you're not interested in those pesky little details. The reason you're reading this is probably 'cuz you too want to be (or might already be) a baby mama. Now some people have warned me that naming my blog "The Baby Mama" might not be such a great idea because it can have a negative connotation. I let this worry me for about a minute... I then realized I like the name "The Baby Mama Blog", I think it's catchy... and I don't use derogatory terms or racial slurs... so if you think you're going to find that here... you're wrong. I just like the name... I think it's fun.

As a writer and a prospective mama, I wanted to have a blog where I could chronicle my journey from making the decision that I'm ready to be a baby mama through what I hope will be the birth of my wee babe... maybe even after. I also want to share with you what's going on around the net on other mom sites... 'cuz it's a lot to keep up with.

Being a bit of an internet addict I've read a lot of sites about getting pregnant, being pregnant, babies, etc. If you're not already aware, there are a lot of them. Oodles and Oodles of sites dispensing advice, reporting on new products, research, etc.

There are lots of mommy blogs... good ones and bad ones (let's hope this becomes a good one.)

That said, welcome to the Baby Mama.
