Baby is here!




I know I had been MIA, but Baby Mental Foodie is here! He was born last week and we'd been home a few days... we're all still adjusting but each day is getting better. We're both doing well though :)

We'll see when I'll have time to read (I AM reading a book but only a few pages a day...) and we'll see if my reading tastes has changed (e.g. mother/family books don't appeal to me much before...)

Hope all of you are happily reading away :)

    I'm tickled 'blue' for you :-)

    The baby or mom book phase don't last long.

    If you are in that mood though a fun mystery one to try is the Maternal Instincts Mysteries by Diana Orgain.

    I can't remember if you like audiobooks, I can't get into them but other new moms that are bloggers seem to love them.

      Thanks for the Diana Orgain recommendation, haven't heard of her before. I usually fall asleep with audio... but who knows, may be worth a try?! But I'd prob still fall asleep being sleep deprived lol. Hehe clever about tickled 'blue' :)

    Congratulations to all three of you! Great news! (I read a lot of short light mysteries during the long hours spent feeding....but otherwise my reading tastes didn't change!)
    Enjoy your new addition!

    Congratulations! I hope everything is going well for you. I actually read more when I had a little baby (after I'd recovered from the birth!) as babies are the perfect excuse to sit down and do nothing. Good luck!

      Thanks! I hope it'd be a bit easier to find time to read once we get his routine nailed down... something to look forward to right?!

      Thank you! Still adjusting... and learning everyday lol, don't think it'd ever stop, since there really isn't a parenting guide that tells you what to do! :)

    OMG how did I miss this? Congrats sweetie!

    You hanging tough?
    The first 6 months are the hardest but I promise it gets easier.

      Hehe it's okay, I know how busy it gets being a mum (can say that now :) ) We're blessed that he's a pretty good baby, but it is still such a big lifestyle change!

    BTW, becoming a mama changed my taste too. I now really connect with mother's in books and before I didn't dig that perspective at all. Come to think of it, I read a lot less YA these days. I don't mind male perspective YAs and actiony stuff but I can't take the mundane sometimes whiny female narrators. Oooo and motherhood solidified my love for audios. Good luck finding what works for you.

      Yeah, I think now I'd understand the mama-children books more... and I can see how audio is handy!
