OVERexcited

Parenting is so OVERemotional, no-one can argue with that.

In February, Fisher-Price will be launching their OVERjoyed Campaign, celebrating the Real Joys of Motherhood. Launching soon, you’ll be able to share a photo with your ‘OVER___’ caption, marking a special moment of your journey.

As a Fisher-Price Mom Ambassador, I’ll also be sharing my memories. Being the first, I thought I’d start from the beginning. The moment that started my motherhood story.

When I was expecting my Isabelle, circa 2004.

I call this, OVERexcited as she was highly OVERanticipated and while at times I was way too OVERstimulated. Yet I embraced pregnancy and what was to come, 100%.

I dived into reading parenting books and journalling my pregnancy {I guess you could call it my first blog!}. As well, I embraced new projects like shopping for gear and decorating the room. While I didn’t know that Isabelle was a ‘she’ until she was born, I must have had a feeling. Looking back, Β what I bought and how I decorated was so feminine. She was meant to be!

So, here’s the beginning of ‘my Motherhood‘.

overexcited

Link up and tell me in a comment, What would your OVER___ moment be?

… and yes, I am never, ever wordless. Call me OVERchatty.

    I have to say over-paranoid. When I had my first child I read through all the illnesses and such. But good to know!

      Yes! With my first I was OVERparanoid too, I recall running away from lunch meat in fear. Everything, good and bad, was a learning experience, right?

    I would say Over-Sick. Morning sickness the whole 9 months, even vomiting as I was delivering lol. Needless to say, I am not one who enjoys being pregnant.

    With my first pregnancy, there was a lot of OVER eating! It was my license to eat. I gained 65 lbs. Yikes! But once he was born I was OVER joyed. What a blessing both kids are. πŸ™‚

      YES!! Same here, OVEReat – that was me as well. I gained as much with my first as I did with the twins! Chips and dip with slurpees, that was my craving with my first. I went at it hardcore!!

    With my first I was just so excited. I have to say I was scared of the birth. I had to have a c-section.

    OVERstressed. I take everything to heart and worry about every little thing. I didn’t enjoy my pregnancy because of it, which in the end didn’t matter because what I was so worried about and trying to avoid happened anyway. Turned out to be not the end of the world and I have a beautiful son πŸ™‚

      You had an incredible journey bringing your little man into this world, Randa. Maybe you had a sixth sense the whole time, maybe it was all underlying stress..?? Ya, I also OVERthink everything!! lol

      Goos one Sophia! I worked right up DD with my oldest, it was tough since it had lifting involved. Then, I worked right until before I had the twins – I know exactly what you mean, I missed so much when my first was little. Makes me sad to think about it.

      01/23/2013 at 9:26 pm

      That was with Belle – she was born 4 days before her Due Date. I was induced with the twins at 36 weeks, since i was measuring 50 weeks. Seriously. I was a whale. I think I have a photo on FB, of us at the fair just before – walked all day out there in the blistering heat and they wouldn’t budge. I wasn’t happy, so I decided to evict them. lol

      Thank you and nope, they are fraternal – so different in each and every way.
      In fact, I have strangers that argue with me about them being twins. Honestly.
