Thoughts on Postpartum Depression from somewhere in the middle. {Becoming Mom}

by Andrea on April 4, 2012 · 5 comments

At roughly 8.5 months postpartum with my second child, I had an epiphany. I’ve been walking around numb for days (weeks?) wondering what in the world is going on. Am I tired? Lonely? Stressed?

by Andrea on November 8, 2011 · 4 comments

I spent 30 minutes on my head yesterday trying to get these magnets out from underneath the refrigerator.
