Oprah's show on Motherhood's Dirty Little Secrets

Just finished watching Oprah's show for Mom's (on DVR of course, I have to catch up on everything during Charlie's nap or nighttime sleep!) and if you haven't seen it, it's a must watch for mom's, preggies, hell anyone even remotely thinking about having children.

Some of my favorite things are:

"It's easy to love your child but motherhood is very difficult"

"I had to mourn who I was before I had my baby." (You have to reinvent yourself and sacrifice much of who you are in terms of time)

Favorite Confessions:
One mom who peed in a diaper on a 7 hr road trip to avoid waking up her 2 kids
I'd trade my husband for a housekeeper - hilarious!

One of the moms is a famous blogger (note to self: MUST look her up and post a link to her site) and she started blogging to combat PPD (Post partum depression). I wonder if that's why I started....I definitely felt the need for an outlet especially with the new mom isolation.

I'd love to explore this line further but need to get ready so I can go pick up Charlie's big boy car seat that came in today. (We decided on a britax boulevard CS) I'll post some pics after I get it inspected at Stanford tomorrow, good thing I got that 8am appt just in case!

Oh yea, Britax is best!! And yes about the car seat thing. I won't even take mine out of my Jeep because it's been installed by REMSA (our ambulance company here in Reno) and I don't want to have to go get it reinstalled.
