Ok, I know what you’re thinking. “Amy, you’re writing another post about other bloggers?” My response, “I absolutely am.” Not just because it’s the Day 7 task for the #31DBBB ProBlogger Challenge with SITS, but because I have read so many AMAZING baby/mom blogs. I want to share some.
It’s not butt kissing. These are all blogs I feel offer something different for not just pregnant women and new moms, but for everyone. So read on for my latest finds….
1. A lovely mom and her lovely blog
This is Cameron. The Ingeune Mom. She is my newest blog friend with beautiful doe eyes and a beautiful baby girl! (I want to squeeze this child and shower her with kisses. So sweet!) Cameron dealt with some of the same naming issues I’ve been worried about. Check it out. The best line? “Um, no you’re not.” She also wrote a list of all the things that surprised her as a new mother. Fascinating. I look forward to writing a list like that too.
2. Local girl
This is Erin and I’m convinced I will run into her somewhere in our little city. We have never met but I’ve tweeted her a few times and checked out her
blog. She’s the Marketing Mama and tells the story of her busy working life with her young son. Today she wrote a post that I seriously could’ve written myself. It’s
why she writes. She calls her son the Bug and this amuses me to no end.
3. My long-lost sarcastic sister
Since I have discovered “M”‘s blog a day has not gone by that I don’t genuinely belly laugh out loud when I read her blog. It’s called
1,000 Reasons I’m a Crap Mom. It’s true. I tweeted her this week to tell her that I really LOL’d at her post. Not the insincere LOL like you text back to your friend who just wrote something lame and you are sating them. I mean posts like
this one. Or
this one which I totally understand as my life is increasingly blog-centered. These make me ROTFL. Plus, she lives in Costa Rica which is the best place on planet earth and where the Mister and I honeymooned. So, obviously she’s awesome.
4. A blogger who forces me to think ahead
This woman is a doula and natural birth advocate. I have just discovered her
blog. She
links so many great articles. I have not figured out a birth plan and have no idea what to expect but, she has some great insight as I decide what I’m going to do. I would rather gloss over the carnage that is childbirth and just blog about the healthy 7 lbs. child that magically emerged from my body. But, apparently that’s not how it works.
5. A look back as I take steps forward
This is Patrice. Is she not the cutest thing? I want to box her up in the time that she’s in and save it for her forever. Patrice is not a baby/mom blogger. She’s a college girl who
blogs about her life in college. She’s just 20. I love hearing about summer school classes and sorority. It takes me back to that awesome time in life. But, Patrice has more on her plate. She tells the story of her sister’s
battle with cancer. It’s obvious how much Patrice loves her sister who is finally getting healthy.
There you go. If you don’t like these bloggers, you can kiss my butt.
Awww! <3 <3 <3
Besides being flippant about my crap parenting ways, I'm here whenever you wanna talk about childbirth. Mine was a right breeze, and I may even manage to make you laugh with that one too!

Alos, if you figure out how to box up this time in my life for me, let me know cuz I will sure miss it when it's gone!
You are too cute. I really like your blog & I really am so excited to "meet" your baby girl!!! I have also really been enjoying Patrice's blog!! Yay for 31DBBB friends!!
Thanks for posting about me! I love following pregnant moms on their journey to motherhood, so I am excited to add you to my google reader!
