[blparent] An introduction and questions

[Michael Bullis]

I have a fourteen year old daughter but well remember those first months.
Mostly, remember that there is a way to do everything so don't listen to
those who want to be helpful but who assume you can't.  I took the first
year off from work to be with my wife and daughter and found that I could
always figure out solutions to what seemed like visual problems.
Nurses won't know how to explain things to you so find people who are
trusted friends who do.
This is a great list to ask questions.  
Good luck and congratulations.

Good morning,

I'm Amber. 29. From Texas. And they tell me I'm gonna be a mom.

I've known about the NFB for all of my adult life, at least, and probably a
little before that even, but my involvement has mostly been centered around
whether or not I could attend convention each year. If I had the money and
opportunity to go to convention, I have gone, but it has been difficult, so
I haven't been every year. I am on several lists but notice that I almost
never post on any of them. I'm trying to make it different here, because
although I'm excited about becoming a parent, I'm also very nervous about a
lot of things. Through this group, I hope to connect with those of you who
have done it all before me and have excellent advice about things I should
try, as well as things I should probably avoid.

Thank each and every one of you in advance, and I look forward to getting to
know each of you personally.

Respectfully,

Amber H
