Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I recently completed my maternity leave and went back to my day job! I've been there for a month and it feels like I never left!!!
Last August we had a little boy and his name is Nicolas. I've had to learn how to breastfeed, change diapers, understand what each cry meant, and care for my little baby. Everyday was a challenge, learning new things and growing with my little boy. Some things you just can't learn in a book, it all comes from experience. I would say after the 3rd month, things got easier.
The past year have been amazing. I totally LOVE being a mom. He is such a joy! Motherhood is awesome! I went to many classes with my little guy. Part of it for me to meet new moms, get out of the house and the other part for Nicolas to interact with other babies. I've met some great Oakville moms! Now some of us have returned to work but we still manage to meet once a month and have a girls night out.
I had the Oakville Moms site idea from the time I started my mat leave. I wanted to create a site specially for moms & babies in Oakville where they can stayed informed, stay connected and interact. Some features of the site are the Mom's Story, Free class listings, Resource links, Business Feature, Contest, Where to Shop directory, birth announcements & birthday baby, and the Forum. I want the Forum discussion to be open to all moms. Whether you are a mom-to-be, a new mom, or a mom with lots of kids, it's a place where we can meet and discuss different topics, post questions and give advice. Just when you think you are the only one with the problem, you are not alone. We all go through the same things. The bottom line is that we all want to be the best mom possible.
So please take a look at my site and enjoy the experience! It's all about sharing and learning.
Chau for now,
Mommy Michelle
