Dear Shy,
When Jahn and I were making the decision to move back to Ottawa, one of the things that made me saddest was knowing I wouldn't be in Calgary to get to watch you become a mom. Pregnancy and parenting are such overwhelming experiences in so many ways (both indescribably wonderful and challenging) that I wanted to be here for you, to laugh with you and commiserate when things were tough. And if you ever wanted it, I hoped to be able to share the little bit of insight I've gained in the short time Jack's been here.
It's not that I have answers about anything. But I know how much it has helped me to have someone say "I know what you're going through. I've been there". So my hope is that I can be that person for you, even from across the country. And hopefully this blog will help, too. Because, as much as I feel I'll always remember what having a new baby is like, I know there are details I'll lose.
So, I hope you enjoy this and in those sad or scary or frustrating moments, I hope it can make you feel even a little bit better.
