Mom, Mommy, Mum

**I guess I'll take the test, just to set my mind at ease**

Cue panic, excitement, crying, realizing I'm late for work (all in about two minutes)

Those who know me know that I love and want kids.

Those who truly know me know that I am something of a control freak/super planner, who wanted kids after grad school, a new job, and a house. 

I'm now over halfway on my journey to motherhood (22 weeks pregnant), and accept that I will be a single mother. Is it what I always dreamed? No. But I'm going to try my best to make it even better. 

This is my "diary", to fill with all my adventures and some inspiration. I also hope that some of the things I've learned and am still learning will help some other folks out. So, moms, mommies, and mums (and even dads), welcome to my blog. Here we will chat about single parenting finances, cloth diapering, crafts (yes, I do love crafts), support, and general single mom awesomeness and hurdles. 

Life is an adventure, so as I partake on the greatest trek of all, I invite you to join me. There will be victories, and there will be failures (though hopefully not too many). Most importantly, there will be love and laughter. Here we go...
