Hi There!

I'm a thirty-something mother who has grappled with perinatal depression. My mission statement is to speak out about my struggle, in gritty detail so that other mothers know that they are not alone. My mission is to speak the unspeakable. My objective is to paint a picture of a variety of motherhood experiences and to give voice to the complicated feelings that motherhood presents.

I'm interested in hearing your story. Together we can break the silence!

Today’s daily blooms, with a side of mini sundae. Ready for April - even though we’ll mostly be locked up. But as someone pointed out on the baby boards, we’re probably the only ones who are going to lose weight during #quarantine 😂😂😂
Working on April’s goals. Sometimes you just go simple. #cultivatewhatmatters #powersheets
Same face, different pregnancies. Left is 2015, right is 2020. Right is one week further along. 49 lbs/22kg difference. #facetofacefriday
“Ok let’s all talk about what we’re thankful for. I’m thankful for getting to spend all this extra time with you, G.” “I’m thankful for all of Mommy’s fun activities for you and I, G.” “What are you thankful for, G?” “The big box!” #itsthelittlethings #fouryearolds #kidsandtheirboxes #ilovethisage
This is the last picture I have from my first pregnancy before I delivered - so last comparison picture! Same weeks pregnant! That means we’re getting close to 👶!!! Weight difference is about 42 lbs/19 kgs. I’ve had a bit of a spike in my weight gain over the last month, so I won’t meet my goal. I’m 500g over at the moment, with still a bit of time to go. Doc put me on a low carb diet...which was going well until #quarantine and then it became all about the comfort carbs! But I’ll keep taking it day by day. At the moment we’re still allowed to go outside for exercise. One of the positives is I am still quite mobile this late, due to weight, fitness and all the walking I’ve done! #shapeyourpregnancy #babyno2
Just received word that the Belgian Security Council will meet tonight to impose tighter restrictions regarding grocery shopping, protecting the elderly, protecting the toilet paper, etc. Most of us expect a full lockdown by the end of the week. We’ve been filling our house with bright flowers - and we’ll continue to do so. We’re also instituting a daily dinner discussion of what we’re grateful for. After all, it’s the little things.
