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!

#nonscalevictory At this point last pregnancy, our friends Emily and Will came to visit us in Arlington and we went to the Air and Space museum out by Dulles. I remember walking around for about 20 minutes and then having to sit down because my feet, legs and body hurt so much with all the weight I was carrying. I couldn’t even stand long enough to cook a meal at this point, without taking breaks. With this pregnancy, every day I walk at least 20 minutes, usually 35 or 40. I average 7500 steps walking around my place of employment. #shapeyourpregnancy #bump #dressthebump **So I apologize for ALL the pregnancy posts, but I am just really proud of my progress and hard work this round.**
Some days we just drape ourselves in cats.
The left was at my baby shower with my first. I’m a week behind on the right, but I think you get the point. The picture on the left looks like I stretched it out, but it is completely unaltered. There is a 10kg/23 pound difference in these pictures. Seems like more though, huh? Pregnancy still isn’t my favorite, but the second time around is so much better - better health, no #prenataldepression and another amazing little soul to meet! #shapeyourpregnancy
