I have always been a big promoter of books. If there is anything I want to learn, I always turn to books. When I was remodeling my bathroom, I found a book to walk me through it. When I was learning how to cook, I bought several books to learn different skills. In my mind, I thought having a baby would be the same. If the book said to do it, then that was how it was to be done. The books said make sure everything is clean. So, I made sure everything was sterilized and the house was spotless. The books said make sure your baby will be safe. So, I called HOME ALARM SYSTEMS to install a security system. The books said every child is different. This was not something I wanted to read. How can a book help me, when every child is different? This has been a terrible realization. I now have no idea what I am going to do or if I will even be good at it. I am terrified of what the future will bring and I am worried I will not be fit at a parent. This “learn as you go” experience is going to be one of the hardest things I have ever done.
