I Went Shopping Alone And Bought You This

It was 9:50 am when I stretched my way out of my bed. It was another rough night of tossing and turning and heating pads and pain medications and cursing before I was comfortable enough to fall asleep. Shawn had thankfully got up with Chunky.

I made my way to the kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee. I could hear Chunky’s heavy feet stomping their way towards me.

“Momma! Momma! Momma!”

Even before the coffee hits my lips, I can handle this sort of…

Secret Mommy-hood Confession Saturday

I own a tacky Christmas village.

Don’t judge me.

When I was a child, I looked forward to helping my Mom create her tiny Christmas village. I can remember my sister and I watching her anxiously as she pulled out each carefully wrapped bundle from a giant box marked

“Mom’s houses, if you break it, she’ll break you“.

In The Quiet Of My Mind

When the fog dissipated, I slipped comfortably back into my shoes and I felt present. A sense of calmness soon waved through my soul and my thoughts became still.

For when you live in the fog of postpartum depression you don’t notice…

How bright colourful lights…

As I sit here looking around my living room, all decked in it's Christmas glory, I wondered to myself,

"In a few weeks, I'm going to have to put all this shit away."

I certainly didn't read the "Martha Stewart Christmas How To Manual To Create A Picture Perfect Home For The Holidays That Is So Perfect That You'd Be Afraid To Fart In The Comfort Of Your Own Home" manual when I started decorating.

Postpartum Progress 2010 Top Ten Writers On Postpartum Depression

I can remember it like it was yesterday. It was in the very early morning hours and I had just lulled my colicky Chunky to sleep after crying for a insurmountable period of time. I looked upon this tiny bundle with regret and I felt so guilty for feeling that way. I cried as I held him tightly, knowing that there was something wrong with me. I just didn't know what.

I can remember making my way to the computer room, with him still in my arms. I cried as I typed the words "Postpartum…

Secret Mommy-hood Confession Saturday

If I was given the chance to redo one moment in my life, I would have never saved that patient's life.

As I was being wheeled back into the operating room on Wednesday, I began to tear up. The nurse noticed and had stopped the stretcher in the hallway. She put her hand over mine and asked me if I was nervous. I nodded my head yes.

Truthfully, I was more than excited and ready to get the first of 4 rounds of steroid injections. They meant pain…
