Not Moving On, Just Moving Over...

I love this blog, and it is a wonderful outlet for me in expressing my thoughts and experiences with life and with our little Lily.

I just wanted to give you a heads up that I have started a second blog chronicaling a new adventure that my husband, Martin, and I will be doing over the next year with Lily. You see, we bought a boat. A pretty big one. Martin, my adventurous husband, decided that it was time we hit the sea and travel for the next year by boat. Crazy? A little. Worth it? Totally!

Anyway, because I am finding that I am less of a multi-tasker and can't seem to maintain both blogs without feeling completely guilty, I thought I should 'fess up and direct you to my newest blog.

I'm not walking away from My Delayed Fairytale, I'm just going to try and figure out how to maintain both blogs (which serve different purposes for me). So, until I get this all figured out, maybe you might want to mozy over to my new blog SailingAmara to see what our family is up to now. It should be a fun adventure. I seriously want to pinch myself thinking that we are going to do this!

I hope you enjoy! Check back from time to time though because as soon as I get settled on the boat and figure out my rhythm, I'm sure I'll still want to share my more personal thoughts over here. So don't go away! Just give me a minute to adjust to all of this change.

Stay tuned, and come pay us a visit at SailingAmara!

About Kym and her Lilybean:

Hi! I'm Kym and I didn't become a mother until I was 41 (and a half)! Up until that point, I worked in marketing, mainly throwing huge events for a large tech company. My job was fun! But after I got married to my husband, Martin, we had our little girl, Lily and I made the decision to stay at home with her. It was always my dream to have a child and to be a mother. I knew it was going to be hard, but I didn't know how much I would stumble, laugh, and learn along the way. It's A LOT of work! And way harder than catching a red-eye to some hot spot to throw a party.

While the doctors still have yet to figure out what Lily has, we know she has hypotonia. Hypotonia is better known as "floppy baby syndrome," meaning her muscles aren't fully developed. Hypotonia makes it hard for her to sit up, crawl, talk, and walk. In fact, she has yet to do the last three, so she is severely delayed.

I hope this blog gives you a little laughter and hope while reading the perils of a middle-aged, first-time mom struggling to raise a child with a disability. More importantly, I hope it helps you to get to know a little more about Lily, her condition, and what and how I learn from her daily. We might be moving at a slower pace than most, but this is my delayed fairytale.
