Back to Blogging

So I am trying another blogging challenge, Back to Blogging, and it can be found here:

It is being sponsored by Standards of Excellence, Westar Kitchen and Bath, and Florida Builder Appliances.


Here is the assignment for today:

Monday, September 13: Re-upload the first post you ever wrote on your blog. If interested, re-write that post, showing us a before and after look at the piece.


I haven't been blogging long, but here it is:

[Well Hello there!

So in celebration of Maggie's 3 week bday, I have decided to start things off on my new blog with a top ten list.

Top Ten Things I LOVE doing with the Magster:

10. Dressing her up in cute outfits.
9. Playing wit her toesies.
8. Looking into her beautiful eyes.
7. Playing with her luscious locks (really just rubbing her head...)
6. Reading to her.
5. Listening to the little noises she makes as she falls asleep.
4. Giving her a bath.
3. Having her Tummy Time on my chest.
2. Feeling her grip my finger with all her might.

1. Holding her in my arms and having her fall into a deep sleep.

Here are a couple of things that I am not loving right now... diaper rash, her blocked tear duct (so much green eye goop), her gagging/choking (that no one but me seems to be concerned about) and finally the fact that I don't really sleep at night anymore because I am so worried about her. Don't get me wrong, she is sleeping fine...almost 5 hours at a stretch, but I jump at every noise that sounds weird and I also jump when I don't hear anything. It takes me about an hour to get to sleep and then I am up all the time worried...I know this too shall pass...but right now it is pretty frustrating.]

Overall I would have to say that I wouldn't change anything abut this first post. It was my first post and I was just testing the waters, just to see what I could do. Maybe I could have written a little more, but as I said, I am pretty satisfied with my first post. I think it shows what type of blog I am trying to write and what type of writer I am. This is where I was 4 weeks ago and there is nothing I would change about that.
