2nd Baby on her way! 29 weeks and 6 days weighing in at 2lbs 13oz after today's anatomy scan

First Post - My baby is 4 weeks old today! 0 weeks corrected

Hello! My baby is 4 weeks old TODAY! I was initially hesitant about creating a blog about my newborn but I have learned SO MUCH (but still have a ton more to learn) in the past 4 weeks that I want to share my experience and hopefully help another first time mom.

First about me because this is important in case you can related or need some inspiration. I'm in my mid 30's and this is my first pregnancy / first baby. I purposely waited this long to have a baby. To be very candid, prior to meeting my husband, I was disinterested in kids. I loved my single and independent life too much. I used to be in management consulting and would travel across the country constantly. Babies were my biggest pet peeve when I was traveling. Even during my pregnancy, I felt "neutral" at best about having a baby. I was scared of losing myself and my independence. BUT my how things change when you have your own! I am now SUPER crazy about my baby. There is nobody and nothing that I love more than my baby girl except my husband of course. Being a mom to a newborn is the hardest job I have ever tackled but she is worth every sleepless night and blown ear drums.

I didn't have the foresight at the time to start a blog. Every minute of the day was consumed by taking care of my baby the first 4 weeks. It still is but at least by blogging, I can also reminisce about my extremely fast growing baby.
