Let me start this by saying how blessed and grateful I am to be pregnant. I love this baby girl more than I could have ever known I could love someone I've never met. I always thought when I got pregnant I would be one of those people who LOVED being pregnant, that I'd love every ounce of it, it would be so beautiful and fun and it would be the greatest experience of my life. And while to most extents it is the greatest experience of my life, and beautiful as to what my body is doing, it is ... VIEW POST

You’re doing great mama!
Yesterday I was talking with a dear friend about being a mama and how we're all just doing the best we can. She is an incredible mama to a beautiful 18 month baby girl - and has been a long time friend who we have the most open and honest relationship. She is someone I go to for most questions since she isn't an alarmist, but also is realistic and always tells me the truth. Sometimes as a mama / mama to be, you feel like you're doing all the things wrong... Do I enjoy the cookie or do I have ... VIEW POST
Todays Agenda: Grow the tiny human…
Another post written previously... now that the secrets out - I am sharing my inner thoughts during those quiet days! The first trimester is ROUGH to say the least. Its really a hazing period.

THE BFP
Today i am 12 weeks & 6 days... But I’m sitting here on October 3rd, 6 weeks at 2 days into my first pregnancy, having just thrown up my attempt at lunch and taken my 2nd nap of the day! 2 weeks ago I got the BFP (big fat positive), having been late before only to be greeted by my period a few days later, I didn’t think much of being late this time around especially the stress of the week I’d had. I took a test prior to a lunch date with a friend just to confirm I wasn’t pregnant ... VIEW POST
Thank you for your opinion but kindly F*&K off….
Put your legs in the air. Try every other day. Don’t try every other day. Do it this way. Do it that way. Don’t drink. No drinking will help you relax. Test ovulation, don’t test ovulation, relax... Take prenatals don’t take prenatals. Relax, it’ll happen. Don’t stress, don’t worry about it... It can take time. Relax and it’ll happen... I SWEAR TO ALL that is good in this world, telling a woman who is trying to make another human and wants to be a mother more than anything else, to relax, is ... VIEW POST
