I am 31 weeks pregnant and so excited to meet our baby girl but also really really looking forward to not being pregnant anymore! The 3rd trimester in the middle of summer is brutal.
With 9 weeks to go I've got a house to finish unpacking, a garden to tend daily, a nursery to start decorating, 2 dogs to keep alive and happy, a partner to not murder (kidding, he's amazing), and still a ton of things to do before Presley gets here so I figured that I might as well start the blog I've been thinking about for a few months on top of all that!
Sugar Mountain Momma gets it name from the Neil Young song, "Sugar Mountain." It is one of the first songs I knew all the words to as my father would often (and still does when I request it) play it for us. In addition to the fond memories I have of singing this song, the lyrics themselves represent this poignant reminder that childhood unfortunately ends. There comes a time in your life that you are no longer a child and the sense of wonder and and magic that once occupied your mind is replaced with having to be an adult. It is a coming of age song that I can truly relate to, more so now than ever, as I continue my journey to motherhood.
This will be a place for me to talk and vent about pregnancy (and eventually parenting), post ideas/recipes/crafts that I've succeeded (or failed) at, my lack of sleep, and all of the other beautiful, fun, disgusting, and awful things that go along with growing and raising a human. I hope you join me on this terrifyingly exciting path into the next stage of my life!
