Best 15 minutes in a long time.
I sat there in my parked car in the garage for a few minutes. There was no three year old asking endless questions. There was no wailing baby in the backseat. There was no husband grilling me on which way was North, which way was South, and how much of the monthly budget money I had left.

Arm and Hammer tried to kill me.
Let it be known that I hate carpet.
Carpet holds on to dirt.
In our case, it also holds on to the smell of dog urine from the previous tenants…
even after shampooing…
and scrubbing…
and ridiculous amounts of vacuuming.

I white knuckled the handle. He could tell I was slowing down. I knew he could sense it. The anxiety was making me sweat. I wanted desperately to speed up. My internal speedometer told me I was going about 4 miles an hour… not good enough… I had to pick it up to 5 or all hell would break loose.
I cut the crust off.
He doesn’t know what Star Wars is, but he’s over the moon for his lunch box.
It was his first day at a new school – a montessori pre-school. We’ve made sacrifices so he could go to this school. He deserves this school.

37 years
37 years of treading.

8 mm
Our son, “Meatball” was born a little over 8 pounds.
My vagina bears the badge of 8 stitches.
The separation between the two halves of my pubic bone is 8mm wide. That doesn’t sound like a lot to me, but the nurse said it was pretty substantial… and a bigger split than when I gave birth to my first son.

One week postpartum – things I’ve learned while on drugs
Where have I been?
Well, after pushing a baby out of my vagina without any medication, I learned that I did indeed split my pubic bone again. So, since then, I’ve been recuperating in the craziest, most stressful house known to man. But with all big trials comes great knowledge. Here’s some of the things I’ve learned this week.
