After the Bump

I feel as though I could now classify my blog posts as B.B. and A.B. (Before the bump, and After the bump).
I am not the same as I was before…. So this blog can’t possibly be either.

There is so much that is still the same.
I still laugh at really crass jokes.
I still get teary eyed when I taste a delicious margarita.
I still find myself day dreaming familiar dreams.
But now all with a heart that is a bajillion times bigger than I could have ever imagined.

I feel like since Benjamin Sherwood came into the world, I am operating on heart explosion overdrive.
Everything he does is perfect.
Everything I do has a different purpose and weight than before.
Every time I look at him my heart literally hurts, I love him so much. That’s not even a lie. It seriously hurts.

No. www.maddierichardson.com will not become a baby blog. Or a mommy blog. Or a baby mommy blog.
But it will be growing and expanding as I do the same.
I took two weeks off of posting here to get assimilated to our new home life… And I really missed this space.
I have so much to share and so much to say.
Not to mention 8 billion photos of Benjamin that I will sincerely try to not post all at once.

Is this a mind dump? Yes. Yes it is. Thanks for listening.
And thanks for keeping up with me throughout this journey for the past 10 months (Yes… pregnancy is truly 10 months in reality… Thanks for nothing Hollywood).
It has been a blessing and a pleasure to document, share, chat, and be part of this community through the greatest most life changing year yet.
Your comments, emails, advice, and encouragement hold a very special place in my heart.

I am doing my best to figure out what my day to day looks like now, and how to incorporate blogging into that picture.
I am excited and up to the challenge.
Hang in there with me while I iron out all the wrinkles.
