That doctors wouldn’t believe me when I said my baby was sick. At 4 months she got a rash, we were sent home twice, and they attempted 2 more times after we were admitted. It took a total of a week to find out my baby has scalded skin syndrome- a rare form of staph. Her skin literally… Read More

We flew for the first time with our infant baby. Throughout the whole trip, we had a total of 5 flights. On each flight, came the time when we needed to do a diaper change. I pulled out the changing pad and laid it on my seat to change her diaper. I avoid restrooms on planes because… Read More

I think the two most annoying comments are, that I’m throwing a temper tantrum for attention (panic attack) or that it’s “all in my mind.” First of all, no shit it’s all in my mind. It’s my brain, my brain is sick. It is a part of a body and your body can get sick or injured... ANY… Read More

I would have loved something to help me feel more human. Dry shampoo, bb cream, something simple to keep me looking alive. Other than that, I really wish people would have given us diapers... no one did!!! We have plenty of pink onesies, though! Oh!! And baby toys, we’re definitely… Read More

That being a mom is lame. I’m sorry, I spent 9 months growing a human and then had to successfully get that human out of my body. There is no recovery time from that, you go straight into taking care of a tiny person even though you just experienced the worst pain imaginable about… Read More

The only time I ever stood in the aisle, I was 8 months pregnant and had to pee. The moment there was a chance, I yelled out excuse me and left my fiancé behind with all our carry ons as I cut off about 8 people to get to the bathroom in the terminal. Apparently people were not very… Read More

I have ankle and knee problems. I tell everyone it’s an injury from ballet when I was about 11 years old. Which, is technically true. What really happened was during one of our warm ups, I learned how to pop my ankles. I became obsessed and ended up cracking my ankles so much I sprained… Read More

Took a solo cross-country road trip to visit a guy I had some history with but things hadn’t ever worked out for us. A week after returning home and I was packing up my car to move to move in with him. A few months later and we were engaged. Now, I’m expected to have our little baby… Read More

Last week, I was in L&D for contractions too soon. While I was laying there waiting for my fiancé to bring me some breakfast, I could hear another woman giving birth. Maybe 10 minutes later, the dad is outside my room on the phone and I hear him say “she just plopped that calf… Read More

I’m 8 months pregnant and this is my first mother’s day. As much as I’d love a mom-themed gift that I didn’t buy for myself, what I really want is a long back massage without any complaints and validation that pregnancy is the hardest, scariest thing I’ve ever done and that I’m a… Read More
