….That’s what my awesome husband called it so I’ll go’ with it….it sounds a lot better than *pissed off* but because this is my personal diary for reflection and documenting our life (which just happens to be public to the entire world) I am letting it all out. Ok, so to give some background, ever… Continue Reading
I had the best conversation with my ‘Ita’ today. I hadn’t talked to her since Easter night when I told her the news of my pregnancy. I didn’t say much as I was mainly calling to check in and tell her and my Ito that I missed them and was thinking of them and yet,… Continue Reading
