That sounds waaaayyyy better anyway!!☺

Congratulations! I had an unplanned pregnancy; now I have a preschooler. The weird thing about the first trimester was that I didn’t know what I was going to do, but, as the pregnancy advanced, my body was pumping out these hormones that totally took over. Maternal instinct or whatever you want to call it, all of a…

Absolutely. Unfortunately motherhood has a lot of guilty moments. But it has a lot of really amazing stuff. It’s all about balance and learning to combat your own criticism. 

I’m 16 weeks into a very planned and wanted pregnancy and I still have moments of “oh shit there’s a BABY in there and it’s gonna come out somehow and then we’re gonna have to not fuck it up for DECADES oh god”. You can read all the books and do the classes and buy the gadgets but I don’t think there’s a way to…

Give yourself some time to adjust. I hope you take the space to have ALL the feelings without judgement.

Early November...you had Valentine's day sex. I am not generally that interested in other people's sex life, but this is a fact l know from experience. 

Kidlet was absolutely unplanned. I like to tell him he was the best gift I never knew I actually wanted, as I was very much ‘not a kid person’ before he arrived. (And even now, I’m much less a kid person than a Kidlet person.)

This was the most useful piece of knowledge I had when parenting a newborn: you know all those stories about people looking at their baby for the first time and feeling an overwhelming rush of complete and perfect love? Not everyone feels that way. And it’s totally normal. Especially if your pregnancy or labor are in…

Congratulations! Such a joy to hear. 

Congratulations! My daughter was unplanned. 3 months into our marriage. We both wanted kids but it happened at least a year before we would have tried. My advice to you is just to know that it is exactly as you described. It’s a roller coaster. Even I who wanted it very badly took home my baby and on the second day…

We had a lovely sunset yesterday. Just wanted to share it with all of you. Ours aren’t usually this colorful.

Good luck!

Congrats to you!

Congratulations! 

But where in Texas do you live? There aren’t many PROVIDERS of abortion in your state, so the 20-week terminus is worthless.

All the luck with whatever you decide. It’s a big deal for sure, I can tell you know.

Sending you love and support <3

However you feel, whatever you decide, I wish you  the best going forward. 

Good for you for taking time for yourself! I’m hoping tomorrow will be as restful for you, and glad to hear that the pressure and stress are in the rear-view mirror for you!

After several major paperwork snafus I start work in Austin on Monday. I have had two direct recruitments in the past week for Seattle jobs. WTF, Seattle. Too late!
