Welcome to my blog... I am hoping to capture the epic fails and successes (hopefully more of the latter), and the daily ins and outs of the Phong household. I have often heard the comments, "You need to write a book" or "I would love to be a fly on the wall in your house". So I am attempting to join the blogging world and share some details of 'my so called life'.
I'm not gonna promise daily, or even weekly posts, but I'll do my best to share events, thoughts, and pictures worth your time. At the very least, you will see plenty of pictures of a cute blue-eyed baby boy with a big gummy smile (I'm not biased or anything). On a selfish note, maybe I'll get some feedback or parenting tips or general life advice from readers about topics that are obviously on my mind. I will post as often as I can but at the current point in my life I'm lucky if I can even find time to pluck my eyebrows. Also, Im gonna put it out there. I will type with improper grammar and occasional misspellings. I was a pre-med major secretly so that I could get through college with writing the least amount of papers as possible. So don't judge me if my commas arent in the right spot. I don't care nor do i have the time to edit.
I have been wanting to do this since Andrew was born (9/21/11)... and I had the grand expectation while I was pregnant that I would do this once I became a momma. Well, reality hit me right in the face. Here we are, he's almost 6 mo. old and I'm just getting around to it. I thought that I would start a blog for my family and friends to see pictures of the baby (that's what facebook is for I guess) or at least track his milestones (that reminds me, his baby book only has 2 pages filled out). Well, the blog hasn't happened until now, but in case you were wandering, Andrew smiles..A LOT, eats rice cereal like a champ, is great at explosive poos that ruin outfits on a daily basis, sits up on his own, and is well on his way to the NFL combine at >90th percentile in both height and weight. That sentence is to catch you up on the first 6 months of his life when my head was spinning too fast to get a chance to share. Better late than never.
Speaking of late.... no one ever warned me that having a baby meant that you would never ever ever get anywhere on time. Being late is not cool when you are like me... high strung and anal. We can't get anywhere on time. Not surprising if you know Erich, but damn, even lying and telling him dinner at my parents house is at 5 when its really not til 630 doesnt work. Getting Erich out the house on time used to be tough, but adding Andrew to the picture is a whole new ball game.
The other thing no one warned me about before deciding to become a mother.... Motherhood will turn you into a Bitch with a capital B. Now that I know this, there is no doubt that I will be writing this kind warning on the little piece of paper at baby showers where you give the mom to be advice. It all starts with the pregnancy hormones... which have a purpose. I think the bitchiness of pregnancy is just practice for Motherhood bitchiness. By the time 9 months is up...you are realllly good at it. In fact, over the last few months I was trying to think of a name for my future blog and I couldnt quite figure one out that I liked. So one night I asked Erich, and in less than 5 seconds he said, "Three boys and a Bitch". I thought wow, can't sum up my life any better than that.
So here's to a hopefully interesting and worthwhile blog to follow... if not, owell... At least ill have a chance to vent to the world wide web :) Gotta go...clocks are springing forward and this bitchy momma gets extra bitchy without enough sleep. hope u enjoy!
