Just Getting Started..

OK, so I am not pregnant, currently. I have been pregnant and I have a beautiful son, my first. This is the beginning of a blog for a book I am writing about all of the positive things about pregnancy. I LOVED being pregnant, and I can't wait to do it again. When I was pregnant though, so many people seemed to go out of their way to point out all of the negative stuff and said and did things that I found downright nasty. For example, it seems that most women relish the fact that they can get away with calling you fat; "Wow, you are sooooooooooo...... HUGE! (giggle giggle)"

Anyway, I am now on a mission to make sure that women who are pregnant for the first time, or women who have been pregnant 6 times (like my sister) know that a positive pregnancy is not only possible, it is every woman's birth right!

I have a few goals for this blog.
1. Share information that I have learned that helped me have a positive pregnancy.
2. Try out some material for my book that I plan to write (sometime I think that I am funnier than I am - so please tell me if I am being a nerd!)
3. Find women across the country, or across the world to take my surveys and give comments to be used as research and as part of the book.
4. Inspire women who are scared or negative about their pregnancy to have the best possible experience for them.
5. Practice writing and typing so that I can get this book done in the next 6 months.

I am sure there are more goals that I just can't think of right now.

Also, I am not sure that I will be able to post every day - I am going to shoot for at least once a week to begin with, so bear with me and keep checking back.

Thanks so much. I look forward to making contacts, having conversations, and getting comments.
