This post has been updated to include the end of the weaning process and was re-posted when Monster was 13 months old, and completely on solid food.

As a new parent, I’m learning so much. I know there is still so much to learn. It’s like I’m in a constant state of unease. There’s really no rule book rulebook and there are a million different ways to do just about everything. One of the things that I get questions about most often is how we feed our kid. This is mostly because we started doing Baby-Led Weaning (BLW), which sounded crazy to most people.

I realize at this point we haven’t actually completed the third trimester, but anything that happens differently at this point is going to be more about birth than the actual trimester. Also, I wanted to get down my thoughts before they were altered too much by time and events. I’m told that happens.

Second Trimester Thoughts

This trimester has been distinctly different than the others. I mean I’m getting the same questions that I was before, and the answers haven’t changed much, but other things are different. The one thing that everyone has been asking which is a little different lately is if we are ready, and to that my answer is of course not. How can anyone be ready for such a huge life change? Even if you do all the research, have lived with young kids and all the other things, the first baby is a whole new experience.

Notes on the Second Trimester

I’ve officially passed into the third trimester, and am feeling a heck of a lot better. I promise this post will be a whole lot less of “what the heck is going on?”. Did you get that feeling from the last one? Because that’s totally how I was feeling. Things have since calmed down quite a bit.

I want to preface this post by ensuring to you all that this will not become a mommy blog, not that there’s is anything wrong with them. I’ve been pretty obsessive about following new ones in fact, but that’s just not what this space is meant for. Sure there will be a little baby peppered in, because after all this is a personal blog, so it’s unavoidable, but this blog is my creative outlet, and I don’t want to loose that in the fray.
