New moms

This whole blog thing is very new to me. At first I thought people who did this really needed some friends or perhaps a pet. It seemed foreign to me to have an online journal where anyone could read your innermost thoughts. But as I continue to be cooped up all winter, I realized that I need to create something- even if the creation comes with the help of templates. And being at home, as many new moms know, can be challenging. My 10 month old sure is cute, but the conversation.. well.. you get it. I want this blog to be a forum for new moms. My sister and I were talking, and many times it seems like women are not honest with eachother regarding motherhood. We are afraid to admit to our friends that sometimes we want a day off- or maybe even a week off. We wonder if anyone else is feeling the same way, but some of us wouldn't dare ask. I guess that's where a blog comes in handy. You can express yourself, but with anonymity. As for the name, 'yogamoms', that all began about 9 months ago. After my son was born and I was feeling so lonely, sad, emotional, depressed, TIRED, etc. I joined a mom and babies yoga class. It was a life-saver. There wasn't much yoga going on, but a lot of emotional support. I have stayed in contact with these amazing women and we meet about once every couple months to see how the babies have grown. Its like our own "tribe". I am hoping this blog can reach more new moms and act as a forum to discuss whatever issues new moms have, because there are plenty that come up. And most importantly, a place where women can avoid juding eachother. We really can be our own worst enemy.
