It’s been fun to share my experiences through the Belly Report blog, and I should note that I also get a lot of good info, inspiration, “awws” and some hearty laughs from the mommy blogs of my friends.

They each have a specialty. Some of their blogs started pre-baby, but have magically morphed into baby-related blogs. Check them out!

*MomFab*: Musings on surviving (new) parenthood
http://momfab.wordpress.com/
Authored by one of my college buddies. Some posts are funny. Some are filled with tips and advice. Some are sentimental, and others are no-holds-barred straight talk.

Decorate This: My adventures in baking and other domestic cliches
http://skdecoratethis.wordpress.com/
Sarah started this as a baking blog and a place to catalog her awesome recipes and photos of her too-pretty-to-eat cakes. (many of which are for, you guessed it, baby birthdays and showers) And we get lots of pictures of adorable Caelan.

Raising Reizo
http://raisingreizo.blogspot.com
Originally dubbed “Moody Foody Judy” and focused on her travels and adventures in dining, Judy’s blog shifted gears a bit with the arrival of little Reizo. We still get an index of yummy recipes with lots of vegetarian and Indian flavors, but the focus is now photos of everyday life with Reizo, a dash of humor and heartfelt reflections about motherhood.

This blog started out mostly about Meghan’s lovable dog, Frank, but now includes her keen decorating and crafting skills in the nursery of baby “Leimabean.” (Even a crib mobile made of tiny Frank-dogs!)
