Last year, also on Mother's Day, I wrote a post that was just an utter jumble of thoughts and emotions. I was absolutely beside myself with overwhelming feelings and I knew that I just needed to put them from words to sentences, to get them out of my head, and maybe - just maybe - … Continue reading Sit Back.

May Day
Hi. My name is Jenn, it's May 1st ... and I'm having a baby this month. It feels like the last 6 weeks have gone by in a blur while, at the same time, time has no meaning and has stood still. There have been a few memorable moments, but overall my days are bland … Continue reading May Day
Curbside Baby Shower
So this blog post is mostly for posterity ... I want to commit every detail of this to memory, and writing things down is a way to do it. I also want a way to look back on this easily.

The One With the Big Announcement
I finally get to share some news I've been holding on to for months ... I'm pregnant! I've been wanting to write about this since I found out in September. There's so much I want to say, so trying to pick and choose the best or most important parts is hard. Firstly, perfectly planned but still … Continue reading The One With the Big Announcement
The Unplannable
In recovery, like everything else, a solitary event can change your path or course. Both good and bad, it is something you might only notice in hindsight. The last 6 weeks have been like that; as I read back to see what my last few entries were on, knowing how things have occurred, it's curious … Continue reading The Unplannable
