Going for my first run in almost a year, since I found out I was pregnant. Scared, excited, and feeling like a total dork. But I’ve decided I’m going to run the Condura marathon next year, after I’ve stopped breastfeeding. And if that goes well, I’d like to try the Dream Marathon and the CamSur one. After what I went through delivering my child, I feel like I can do...

Will be away from my son for 24 hours for the first time. I’m having anxiety attacks over it, and I’m pretty sure sometime during the day, I will just walk to a corner, shrivel up, and die.

My favorite part of the day is when he stops in the middle of feeding, leans back and looks at me intently, and softly, earnestly coos with as much love as his little body can muster.

Dear Corwin,
You kept us up ‘till 4:30am today. If you ever want to know what it’s like to be holding on desperately to the last shreds of your sanity while half asleep, have a child.
You’re such a sweet little boy though, when you’re not playing it fast and loose with my mental health. You’re incredibly gassy at night, for reasons that shall forever escape me, and...

It Was Like This: You Were Happy
It was like this:
you were happy, then you were sad,
then happy again, then not.
It went on.
You were innocent or you were guilty.
Actions were taken, or not.
At times you spoke, at other times you were silent.

Like a lover, your life bends down and kisses your life.
It does this not in forgiveness –...

My son is a month old today! I survived my first month of being a mother. Will wonders never cease. My little boy is healthy and happy, and my Bell’s Palsy is officially gone. I’m ridiculously happy. More on life with our little munchkin and photos of said munchkin here.

It’s been a hell of a rollercoaster this past week. Corwin had transient tachypnea of the newborn and pneumonia. On his fourth day, he turned blue from lack of oxygen. Twice. Worst day of my life. I broke down completely, and my husband had to scrape me off the floor.
I’m still reeling over so many things: my emergency C-section, having Bell’s Palsy, my son’s stint at the...
