Priorities of the urine variety

Upon further review, I am thankful we worked with Dr. TK for the amount of time that we did not only for his amazing work and demeanor, but also because I was surrounded by women who were dealing with the same struggles I was...

What made my very random brain think this wonderful thought?

Sitting in the waiting room at the new OB office surrounded by women who likely have NOT known similar struggle or hardship. I'm kind of a badass compared to some of them (I'd like to think so anyway).

Either way, we're all on the same playing field now... even if I had to spend some time in some very serious minor leagues before I could get here.

Also, I hate that I have to pee in a cup every single visit. I've been slamming water all day to prepare. Yet I haven't read any of the literature Dr. G sent home with us last week.

Priorities, people.

    you will be amazed by the end of your pregnancy how easy it is to pee in the cup..also it's gets tricky when you get so round too.

      I am in the bathroom all day long but peeing on demand has never been my strong suit.

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

That time we sold our house.

Porch, Charlotte, and I are excited to share that we are moving!  If you follow us on Facebook, you know that we put our house up for sale on Thursday.  By Saturday afternoon, we had 3 offers on the table and we accepted!  I can't even begin to express our shock, our joy, our excitement, and our nervousness about the months ahead. We put an offer on a house closer to my new job as Charlie attends the center and being closer means that Porch can drop her off on my early shift (6am-3pm) and pick her up on my late shift (9:30-6:30pm) so Charlie isn't spending all of her waking hours in child care.  We're ridiculously excited, yet cautious. The new house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is begging for a series of updates.  There are a number of projects that await us but we're so excited to call this new place home and to make it into something that's truly ours.  A home we can grow into.  A home we can share with our family over the years and create ...
