One of my favorite things about blogging is reading the comments filtered into my spam folder before they are forever erased. I make a point to go through them about once a month because there are usually at least one or two legitimate commenters that got dumped in there. Sometimes it really makes my day. [...]

My name is Jennifer. I am 33 weeks pregnant and my hormones are getting the better of me. Most times when I feel myself feeling too “whatever” I don’t act on it, I just walk away and steam or cry in the bathroom and feel really [insert emotion here]. Later I can look back and [...]

I’ve been feeling lost, sluggish, out of it lately. I feel as if I’m in a holding pattern between where I was and where I want to be, but I don’t know exactly where I am right now. Life is going good, so maybe a little part of me is secretly waiting for the impending [...]

I feel much better now. Just needed to get that off my chest, you know, not having a therapist anymore and all. May is always a hard month and the weeks leading up to May 22 leave me anxious, teary eyed, emotionally unstable and probably not too fun to be around. Add to that the [...]

I’m feeling down today, stressed out, and anxious. There is too much going on and I don’t like it. And honestly I am tired of pretending I’m okay about it. I am so sick of feeling guilty for the way I feel. Especially about things that should be wonderful times in my life. Take this [...]

I passed my pedi test today, a test I should have probably failed! If not for wonderful savior friend C I would have had scant to go on. She saved my butt. Now I only need a 58 on the final to pass the class with a 75 but since we all know how incredibly [...]

Grrrrrr. Okay, I understand that babies typically look “gender neutral” during the first year, or until they get a little hair. Which basically translates into most babies look like boys. I get it. But next time you start to say something to a parent about their baby, or talk within ear range of the Mommy, [...]

Before I begin let me just say that any of you who knew me before the baby would be (a little) surprised at my new pleasant demeanor. I am much more calm and friendly now. Drugs will do that for you. It was a little after seven and Avelyn had just fallen asleep. I was [...]

My poor little baby is still sick with a cold. It’s one of Those Mean Nasty Dirty Downright Disgusting But Invisible Germs (shoutout to my HP group!) and she is not having a fun time. She feels awful which makes me feel terrible that I can’t do anything about it. She is slowly getting used [...]

Avelyn and I are back in Houston. We have power and clean water, for which I am thankful, but NO INTERNET OR CABLE. The cable is only an issue because the fall TV shows are starting and I won’t be able to Tivo The Office this week. This is very bad. There are few tv [...]
