I was looking at old pictures on Facebook tonight and wow, how much has changed in 4 years. Back when I was 20, I was so carefree. Yes, I had my drama with cheating on Brian and the fiasco with Lucas, but then I went through Listening Ear training and my life seemed back on track. I had new friends, I was popular and social, and my life ( Read more... )

So Jack is almost seven months old, and still sleeps almost like a newborn. He wakes up every couple of hours, has a bottle, and goes back to sleep. I'd say I've adjusted to this pretty well, but I'm still exhausted and it's time to try something else. I've decided to try letting him "cry it out". My mom is away at my sister's house and I figured ( Read more... )

A lot has happened since my last entry. I've suffered with severe postpartum depression, wanting to kill myself numerous times and questioning my relationship with Kyle constantly. He hasn't been the father or boyfriend I've wanted him to be. I thought that if I was patient and supportive and understanding enough, he'd become what I've always ( Read more... )

Jack is almost three weeks old! These part few weeks have been crazy, but amazing. Jack was born a month early on July 14, 2009 at 2:58am. He was 5 pounds 12 ounces and 19 inches long. Despite being premature, he's done great. He got to leave the hospital when I did and gained his lost birth weight back in three days. He has a doctor's appointment ( Read more... )

Well, it's 2 AM and I'm not sleeping because the half hour nap I took this afternoon lasted from 6:30-9:30pm. I felt groggy when I woke up so I thought I'd be able to get to sleep again soon. WRONG! Oh well ( Read more... )

So I'm 32 weeks today, eight months along. Only eight more weeks until Jack will come into the world and into our lives (hopefully not much longer than that!). I'm very excited about his arrival; the baby shower was this past weekend and I've started hoarding diapers. At the same time, I worry about what the future will hold and whether or not I'm ( Read more... )

Everyone in their life deals with having ex boyfriends or girlfriends. No matter how horrible the relationship was or how it ended, they somehow impacted your life. So, this is your time to spill! List your significant others from first to last (and present if you have one!), why you became interested, and how they impacted you. You don't have to ( Read more... )

I had my second ultrasound yesterday at 17 and a half weeks and when we looked between the legs, we found a penis! It's a boy! It's such a wonderful feeling and relief to finally know what sex our baby is. I can stop bothering with all the dumb old wives tales and start preparing for being the mother of a son. This is so great ( Read more... )
