To Begin...

A little background information...I'm Kate and both my parents died when I was pretty young. My grandparents raised me and let me say I give them mad props (yes I just said that) for doing what I consider to be a fantastic job. Don't get me wrong, my grandmother and I hated each other a good portion of my teenage years, but in this case I guess it's more about the destination than the journey...no one died or got seriously injured, I turned out to be a well-adjusted young adult (or so I like to think) and she is enjoying her wonderful grandson, Mitch, as much as possible! I have a beautiful little boy who is about to be 7 months old on the 26th. I had a horrible pregnancy and got the joy of staying in the hospital for almost a full week around the time of my son's birth. I have never really been around babies (I lived with old people) until I had my own and I am doing my best to figure out this whole mom thing as I go! Feel free to join me on my journey through parenthood...which I guess again our main goal is to get him to adulthood alive and with both of us still *hopefully* semi-sane...we shall see...
