Between tosses, turns and night time bathroom trips, it came to me...I have a wonderful network of friends and family members who have taken or are taking this journey I am about to start. Motherhood. My questions, my concerns, my deepest thoughts and desire for my soon-to-be can and will be shared with this dynamic group. Their support, advice and recommendations are going to be so invaluable. Yet, we all are sprinkled throughout various locations, so coffee and tea chats are not likely. While, it will still take a village to raise this child, it will likely be a virtual village connecting us all in this bond of mamahood.
As I face the unknowns of labor--the aches, the pains, the bold, the beautiful and the "other stuff"--I suddenly don't feel alone (no offense my dear husband, but it's a girl thing!). I realized, how lucky I was to have a sisterhood with so many wonderful women. But how selfish of me to keep this wonderful "troupe" to myself and all their words of wisdom. And so Mama Troupe was formed--more than a blog--it won't be all about me...it will be about us, our kids, our successes, our struggles, everything we mamas face or will soon face!
It's not about judgement, it's not about knowing everything or knowing nothing it is about sharing and raising our children...together! And while we may have never met, we too will be connected through our comments, our support and our encouragement! So don't be shy, if you know all of us or none of us--comment, ask questions and keep the troupe growing strong.
Let the fun times begin!
