Blog Stalker

So, I was never really into this blog thing until Gavin was around 4 months old. I had heard the word "blog", but never really read any. Around October of last year my good friend Courtney sent me the link to one of her good friends blogs. She told me that she had just had a baby too and wrote the best stories of her life with her boys. Once I started reading, I was hooked! This girl was living my life, with a few minor exceptions. Turns out her son and Gavin were born 5 days apart. This blog truly kept me going through some pretty rough times. As any new mother knows, there are days when you think you're not going to make it, or days when you think you are not cut out to be a mom, and then you have the days when you know this is what you were meant to do. It felt so good to know that there was someone out there going through exactly what I was at the exact same time. It's so funny because I would show Gabriel this blog and he would make fun of me and call me the "blog stalker". I was finally able to meet this wonderful family last weekend at Courtney's wedding. I told them of my "blog stalking" tendencies and lucky for me they understood and no authorities were needed. Thank you Andrea for your wonderful blog. Here's to you Texas Macks!
