My Birth Story: Preeclampsia Awareness

Why I will never judge the condition of your home
My uncle toured the first floor of our home— which we spent hours tidying and cleaning even though it looked like we did NOTHING. He looked around, took everything in, and then he said something that stung a little. He was just being matter-of-fact and meant absolutely nothing by it, but to a busy, tired momma juggling an almost-toddler, running a business, and managing a household, his innocent words said A LOT.
“So basically your house is set up for kids and pets.”
Yup. Yep. Yes…. I guess it is. (Cue the lighthearted chuckle and the big “I’m totally fine with that conclusion” smile.) It’s true, after all.

In fact, it’s a good thing I’m not trying to say these words out loud to you right now because I’m too choked up to speak.
To the woman who’s secretly terrified of becoming a mommy
There is nothing in my life that I was ever more afraid of than having a baby. For many years I was the independent, career woman, entrepreneur type. I made excuses about being 100% fulfilled with my husband and fur-children. But the truth is, I was scared out of my mind.
Mommy, Mommy What Do You See?
When I look in the mirror, I don’t always like what I see. I try to. But the truth is that the dark circles, crow’s feet, un-styled (let’s be honest, unwashed) hair, and piercing red stretch marks stare back at me and remind me of all my imperfections.
