A Mama and a Pandemic

Where to even start. We are a little over half way through the year and we have already dodged WWIII, mourned the death of Kobe Bryant, watched a pandemic spread through out the world and have been fighting for the justice of black lives as well as equality of basic human rights. 

Diary of a working mom

As a working mom I feel like I fall short everywhere. There are not enough hours in the day or energy in my body to allow me to give everything and everyone my all.

Pregnancy #2

I didn’t think to document my second pregnancy until after my doctors visit I had yesterday. As I write this I’m 16 weeks pregnant.

Mother’s Day

It’s been 10 months and 18 days since I became a momma. It’s been the hardest; but at the same time most fulfilling time of my life.

Life, Updated

I stopped writing for a while, not because I’m all better but because life. Over the past 3 months I’ve been learning how to manage being a mom, a full time teacher, a wife, a daughter, a sister and a friend. Probably in that order. I’m still learning. When you think you have it down, life hits you with something new.

Self care

Practicing self care is important at any stage in your life. After you have a baby your life revolves around what your little one needs and it’s so easy to forget about yourself.

Rude pregnancy comments

During my pregnancy I always felt great! I didn’t start showing until after 5 months and even then I was still getting away with wearing some of my normal clothes. None of that changes the fact that people can say the rudest comments.

Choosing not to medicate

I admire the moms who know that it’s in their best interest to medicate.

Therapy

Starting group therapy was the best thing that could have happened to me. Although I was hesitant, I ended up a part of this little community that met up every Tuesday morning to talk about our highs and lows of the week.

Diagnosis

I knew something was wrong when I would be asked the question of “how I was liking being a mom”.
