What is it about growing a human that makes you suddenly just neeeeeeed everyone to hear about your boring beautifully ordinary life and the emotional roller coaster it takes you on?

Not sure, but it’s definitely the hormones.

Annnnd here I am, doing just that.  I’m officially joining the ranks of mommy-bloggers around the world wide web, set out to share their stories of life, love, family and their own little piece of reality.  Perhaps someday in the far-off future this virtual baby b(ook)log will be read and (fingers crossed) appreciated by the little avocado-sized babe hiding in my belly– and then it will have been worth it.  Hopefully as worth it as the hardcover, hardcopy, easy to indulge in baby books that my mom so artfully and diligently kept for me and my brother.  I’ve reveled in both since age ‘I can read.’  However, since I’ve had little luck with journals in the past and my handwriting is comparable to a seven year old boy… this is what my little avocado-baby will have to revel in and treasure.  SO.  Let’s all just hope after all is said and posted this will evolve into a silly little memoir to share with my already beloved little avocado-baby.  And hopefully, my minimal but captivated audience will enjoy some glimpses of real life at the Hess Station as we go.

I have no plans.  I have no outline.  My only real goals are stated above… but I’m throwing caution to the wind and becoming a mother (whhhhaaattt?) and taking this little cutie ‘cados life in my hands so why not jump into the blogosphere at the same time and maybe make some memories… or store them here for all to see and my little baby-cado to keep.

Why not.

Wish me luck.
