Coming to terms with pink..

Pink..something nice to say about pink..
As a red headed woman, I have never been one to choose pink for anything.  It just doesn't seem to work for me.  However, giving birth to a baby girl I was thrown into the world of pink!  She was also born with red hair so may one day have the same issues I do with the colour.  Until then she doesn't have a whole lot of say in her wardrobe, mostly because everything baby girl is pink! 
Why in this day and age are we still so segregated into thinking blue is for boys, pink is for girls.  It's just not the case.  Even when I was still pregnant and not knowing the sex of the baby it was terribly difficult to find clothes that were considered "gender neutral".  Now that she is here its pink, pink, pink!!  Purple, Yellow, Blue, Green...all of them will one day be available to her so why not now?  Do we have to make a statement to the world saying "Look..i have a baby girl!" or "Look..i have a baby boy!".  Perhaps this is the inner tom boy in me trying to get out but if any baby clothes manufacturer reads this, please, expand your pallet of colour for baby girl clothing..

Introduction to introverted Mom

Welcome to the Introvert Moms Guide to the Galaxy blog. My name is Jennifer, I am a new mom to a 2 month old baby girl named Sadie, and love her to pieces!  However, I am also an introvert by nature.  Trust me when I say this, the two worlds tend to collide. 
If you are unfirmiliar with the style of an introvert, let me explain.  We aren't recluses that are locked up in our homes not wanting to deal with the outside world.  We just need time alone to recharge after dealing with the world!  This is where the mommy world and introvert worlds collide.  There is no recharge time in the life of a new mom.  There is hardly even shower time for the life of a new mom! 
So, I am hoping to figure things out as I go on this journey of new mommy-hood and along the way hopefully help others.  This is no easy task whether you have the perfect scenario baby who sleeps when they are suppose to sleep and eats without fussing, or the baby that perhaps needs a little more attention (read:drive you to insanity!!) due to colic, acid reflux or just has a little more energy than most!
Feel free to follow along with me and even give me feedback on things you've had experiences with.  Sometimes even google can't compare to someone with life experience!
