The first four weeks passed in a blur, if I was going to be truly honest with myself. Days were broken up into feeding blocks: nursing for about an hour, interact with the baby then put the baby to sleep, eat and shower to feel human, catch a fifteen minute breather (if possible) then wash, [...]

Baby Q: Week 3- Turning the first corner

Q is a lovely lovely child to have. He never fusses unnecessarily, when he cries, its always for good reason (diaper dirty, hungry, in pain or desiring som TLC) and for a small lil thing he makes a real effort when its nursing time- makes the soreness and rawness worthwhile. As we entered the third [...]

Truth is, I don’t know where the last two weeks have gone to. The hospital stay rolled into coming home; us both thrust into this new world of Babydom called Parenthood. Even as I type this, I am wrecked with exhaustion from the insane schedule all newborns keep and the physical toll of breastfeeding on [...]

At their last OBGYN visit they learnt that they could be due ANYTIME despite being only a lil over 36 weeks. They blitz as much as they could- meetings, assignments, made work and personal arrangements for this-that-the other and basically maxed out the days. Most days, they would crash out a lil over midnight, each [...]
pregnancy issues: when things around fall apart

This girl likes to think that she’s got some capacity for empathy, for feeling for other people and for being able to feel at least some modicum of an emotional impact for the people about her. Death, birth, success, failure… they should all mean something even if one is simply standing at the sidelines watching [...]

As pregnant women go, This Girl likes to think she’s not particularly been wrecked by raging hormones that that cause her emotions to go on roller-coaster mode. She’s kept up with some of her other pregnant friends, their husbands and other by-standers to have they return with tales of weepiness at something as small as [...]

The year snuck up on This Girl. The days blurred into weeks, into months and its Christmas all over again. As This Girl writes this, its Christmas day and she’s still blurry eyed from not-so-great nap and hungry despite the lovely St. Pierre’s dinner The Boy took her to last night and the huge breakfast [...]

An old classmate had one of the most harrowing- and traumatic- pregnancies. Her little girl had organs in the wrong places, liver and lungs had not progressed as per normal and she knew, even in the months and weeks leading up to the birth, she, her little girl, her husband and friends and family were [...]

Its been a madhouse around here this past two weeks. Far too many projects and the whole hassle of moving office has been taking a toll on this girl- she’s not been sleeping too well, she has dreams of her having dreams about work which is oddly trippy and makes her think she’s in some [...]

A friend recovering from cancer led this girl to re-read this charge in 1 Peter 3:1-7 on wives and husbands: 1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when [...]

The NY Times (online or otherwise) has great articles. Mr. Toesocks, from the bowels of Uganda would read it as religiously as possible (in particular the fashion section- for good writing, no less) on the many days he spends at the club where they have internet. Kungfu Master is another one and a while back he sent [...]

And so this girl woke this morning with a slight nervousness that she couldn’t place. It unseated her and much as her body craved more rest, her mind was racing far too much for her to really fall back to bed. She tried listening to her ipod (which sleeps next to her these days), she [...]

So, in the new company this girl struck up a partnership with a friend who was successful in her own right: seemingly hardworking, apparently savvy and untruthfully capable. Said friend ran her own business that seemed to be doing well and approached this girl with a proposition that would see said friend resell this girl’s [...]

The girl woke this morning to the jarring of her cell phone going off far too early (or so it seemed to her anyway) to The Father calling to notify her that Michael Jackson had died. That woke her up and she quickly went to her trusty internet google news to read more and call [...]

For what seemed like two years, Zwieback battled Anorexia Nervosa, a debilitating eating disorder that saw her shrink from her oh-so-gorgeous frame to a skeletal whisper of her former healthy self. She entered treatement with Golden Skull leading the new defense-offense with the nebulous many-headed monster. Fast forward- through countless sleepless nights, melt downs and [...]
