I close my eyes and I find myself replaying every moment from that weekend. I can still smell the salt, the sunscreen, and the corona. I still feel the sensation of running my fingers through the soft sand and feeling the breeze of the ocean on my face. I can still hear the laughter and [...]
We are gearing up to try to have another baby. I am ready and SO not ready all at the same time. I know I want another child, and I know I would like them around 3-4 years apart so it is certainly time to jump on that wagon. I however, am dragging my feet. [...]
We have been through a good amount of trials in our 9 years of marriage, but the last 2 have by far, been the toughest. While I was pregnant with my son, my husband opened his own business. He had been running it for awhile and been extremely successful so he decided to pursue his [...]
My baby boy wasn't here and neither was my anesthesiologist. 3 hours later, he came to administer it. I hadn't dilated past 8 cm, despite doing every trick in the book to move it along. Baby boy kept changing positions and it kept him from dropping. I kept getting him in the right position, and [...]
I was 12 days past due and baby boy had not made his grand appearance yet. I was planning on doing everything in this birth process unmedicated, and as natural as possible.

This post has been in the back of my mind for months now and I just haven't felt it was the right time to write it yet. Today, Mother's Day, finally felt appropriate. 9 months ago, I became pregnant. Jack and I had been talking kids for a while but just weren't ready to take [...]
All throughout college I had an off and on relationship that was heading towards marriage. After 3 years, it ended abruptly, followed by a phone call by his mother, telling me he had been with someone else during our relationship. I began experiencing pain like I had never experienced, and I in no way knew [...]
I am home from my quick trip to NYC and I am not exaggerating when I say I feel like a completely different person. When I was there, H said to me, "This is the happiest I have seen you in a very long time." I am a happy person in general, but I used [...]
As I am sitting on the train, heading out of this city, thinking about every moment I experienced here over the last day and a half. The smile on my face is so untamable it’s embarrassing. This is a trip where I want to remember every moment. I have been dreaming of returning to this [...]
