Bittersweet Symphony

http://youtu.be/1lyu1KKwC74 Mother's Day has a new meaning for me. Not necessarily a happy one. Last year, it was supposed to be my first Mother's Day with a newborn. That didn't happen. Instead, it was my first Mother's Day and I didn't have a baby to show for it. I vividly recall I spent my day in hiding, away from phone and any social media. I didn't want to be flooded with

It’s Been Awhile

http://youtu.be/K2NGe9mLAEc Sorry I haven't updated. Between being absolutely exhausted and well, being absolutely exhausted, I just haven't had the energy.

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda Week 10*

Hello, hello! We're going to do the week-by-week pregnancy a little different for the time being. Since Yoda is measuring a little small, I'm going to do the pregnancy weeks by LMP (last menstrual period) until Yoda catches up. If Yoda somehow measures ahead, I'll still do it by LMP.
