Good Intentions

I have been meaning to post something for a while now. I fully intended on becoming a "blogger" as in, "one who blogs," rather than just one who reads and blog stalks others. I created a family blog intending to document the last few weeks of pregnancy (which turned out to be horrific so it was no great loss) and the birth and new little life of my Kaydra Tru (which has been incredible and overwhelming and magical all at the same time- words often prove elusive when I try to convey the thoughts and feelings I've had the last 6 weeks). And so here I am, trying to come up with a clever way to catch up this blog and motivate myself to begin filling the empty space.

I became a mother a little over 6 weeks ago. It is all I can eat, breathe, think, sleep, dream, hope, pray, and love. There isn't much room for anything else at the moment. There are moments of utter joy, there are moments of overwhelming fear. Especially since her daddy has been off to the dark continent for a couple of weeks now, and isn't due stateside for a couple more. It has been a bumpy road. I had an unplanned c-section, went back to work 4 weeks later, I've taken Kaydra to SLC and Las Vegas (I had a week of training for work), we got news of another deployment, I am practicing my single mommy skills. And intermingled in all of that is this new and confounding role of parent. And so I will probably continue to be absent from the blogosphere. But I will always be intending to report a bit more...
