Ok, so it's a new day. A new month. And not long until I'm officially a Mother. I find myself scared and excited all at once. Scared because I don't want to mess this up. Excited because this is part of me. This is a new life. I try not to dwell on it, but now and then my mind certainly wonders which of these things I might do. Mess up her life, which most children think their parents have done at one point or another. Or, spoil her so much ( because I only plan on having one ) that she turns into a little brat. Neither of these things do I want to do, but doesn't every new parent make a mistake at one point or another?
Moving on - I have a new addition to the family. My husband brought home a Great Dane. She's six months old, and extremely timid. She's 'learning' what a leash is. I fear she was never on one. I think she was probably just left outside for most of her puppy-hood. She's sweet though, and though I hate the name, she answers to Susie.
Can't say I have anything else to report. SSDD as the saying goes. Yippee!

As far as your child goes, there's only a couple peices of advice I can give, especially since I thankfully won't ever have any of my own:
1) Do NOT raise it like your mother did. Ever.
2) Either read/study some child rearing and child psychology books of someone you admire (I happen to like Dr. Phil, so sue me, hehe).
3) Observe the methods of friends/family members that have kids that seem to be turning out ok. I don't care if someone is your best friend in the world - if their kid is a hellion, DO NOT adopt their methods of child rearing!
Other than that, good luck. Listen to your heart, love your child, and always try to remember that it is a person with it's own thoughts and dreams - don't try to force yours on them, even by accident.
HAHAHAHa
