Holy Shit! What have we done?!
I’m not going to lie…that very thought passed through my mind after I saw those two pink lines. Not like, What have we done? Can we take it back?…just like, This IS what you wanted, this is very real. Wow. So yeah, I’m sure you can gather now that I took the test and it’s [...]
I like living in a fantasy world
That’s why I’m so afraid to test. I really should though…it’s driving the immediate gratification seeking, type A person inside of me crazy! Really, all signs are starting to point toward good news, but since I know that I’m inherently an optimist to the point of it being a fault at times, I am finding [...]
Sleeping is an essential function to live, right?
Then how the HELL do parents survive? I had a rude “awakening” this weekend when I realized that I feel like complete ass when I don’t get at least 7 hours of sleep, and even then I feel like half an ass without 8 or more. Parents tell me that you change when you have [...]
Talking dirty has taken on a whole new meaning.
“Hey hon…be ready for sex when you get home. I have lots of stretchy cervical mucus and my cervix is really soft and high. I think I’m going to ovulate today!” I don’t think I’ve ever uttered something so unromantic in my life, but it was 7 in the morning and I wasn’t thinking of [...]
My PIC (that’s partner in conceiving)
It’s hard to be a gangsta trying to get knocked up and shit, but not when you got a PIC who be down for da ride, yo. (If you could hear me say that out loud, you would laugh your ass off at what an idiot I sound like. I over enunciate even [...]
If my dogs are any indication of my parenting skills…
I’m going to need to learn how to say NO. My poor Labrador is hobbling around my apartment right now with her tongue hanging three feet of out her panting pink mouth. I feel so bad for her. We just got back from a three mile run for me and a four mile run [...]
Irrational Fear – Conehead babies
I just saw some of the most amazing pictures of the most beautiful newborn with a head so perfectly round she looked like a little perfectly sculpted doll. Of course, she was a C section baby. That’s the trade off for having the doctor rip open your abdomen to remove an 8 lb [...]
Preconception Deception
Happy hour yesterday with some former co-workers was interesting. I left this job before the Baby Rabies infected me. In fact, as of the last day of this job back in April, I was pretty adamant and outspoken about being soooo not ready for kiddos for at LEAST 5 years. Several of [...]
Let’s talk judgement
Okay ladies and gents (are there any gents out there reading this?), we all know the world of parenthood is ripe with judgement. You can smell it’s thick vapors permeating off of mommy and me groups, and you can feel it’s heat and intensity in the sharp, unapproving glares from people in line [...]
Admitting defeat
A pack of ovulation predictor tests, a bottle of Merlot, and a box of tampons…those three things in my grocery cart at Target could only mean one thing – the bitch is back.
I held out as long as I could, trying to convince myself I was one of those freakish women who would never actually [...]
