Finally, I have committed!

I have started a blog. It seemed like an impossible feat every time I went to start one before. I would start to set one up, then would abandon ship before the sign up process was completed. But I have done it and all while the baby is sleeping! I am proud of myself but the true test will be actually writing.

I will use you, my non-existent audience as a sounding board while I try to figure out my life. It has finally dawned on me that I am a late bloomer in every sense of the term. As a testament to the truth of it ... it took me 28 and a half years to figure out that I am a late bloomer!

So I find myself at 28 and a half, a new mother. The moment Georgia was pulled out of me (c-section) on February 8th, 2010 my entire world seemed to come into focus. The Danielle that existed pre-motherhood and the Danielle of today seem to be polar opposite people. This has left me grappling to figure out how to incorporate my old life into my new reality. It's an interesting dilemma and a slightly overwhelming one.

I have no idea if I'll figure anything out but I figured that since I have 8 months left of maternity leave, now would be a good time to try. Stay tuned!
