MomsenseNYC: January 2011
http://www.momsensenyc.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
In nonsense is strength" -Kurt Vonnegut. Tuesday, January 4, 2011. That is exactly how I felt. Blaaaahhhhh! The morning sickness I never had with my son was definitely in full force with the twins. Yuck. I felt sick all the time. I complained about it all the time. Everyone, including my doctor, told me that morning sickness is a good thing. It means that the pregnancy was a healthy one. Hmmmm. OK. If you say so. I sure didn't feel healthy. But I sucked it up. Who cared how sick I felt? These are all pre...

In nonsense is strength" -Kurt Vonnegut. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. And just like that the silence set in. There was no sound except my heartbeat. But to me it sounded like the three heartbeats I carried with me. My own, which was racing and strong. And the beats of the babies that were stronger and louder than my own. If someone asked me today where the babie's heartbeats were I could easily show them. I will forever hold those beats in my hands. The silence I was suddenly enveloped in was peaceful. Did p...

MomsenseNYC: Stupid Brain
http://www.momsensenyc.com/2011/08/i-tried.html
In nonsense is strength" -Kurt Vonnegut. Monday, August 1, 2011. I re-entered the world. It took a while, but I did it. It was difficult. I had lost so much. How did I start over? How do I act normal? Nothing that I had experienced felt normal. I was still in Bizarro Land. I tried not to scream. I tried to laugh. I tried to not make people uncomfortable. But I am way too honest of a person for that. I tried to come back into the Land of the Living for my son. It was for him that I went apple picking.

In nonsense is strength" -Kurt Vonnegut. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. When It's OK Not to Share. When it comes to packing up for the playground I have to say that I am really prepared. I mean REALLY prepared. I pack lots of different snacks, juice boxes, milk, water, special treats. You get the point. I always have a small first aid kit with Neosporin. I honestly do not have a problem with this. It's his toy. He should be able to play with it. Jack is very nice. His extra toys were being used by lots of ...

MomsenseNYC: Silence Isn't All It's Cracked Up to Be.....

In nonsense is strength" -Kurt Vonnegut. Saturday, July 30, 2011. Silence Isn't All It's Cracked Up to Be. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. I needed that silence though. Everything was SO loud. Everyone’s behavior and every word spoken to me was SO magnified. The silence I finally found came in many forms. Friends I had known and loved stopped calling me. We might never get pregnant again! I needed proof that this pregnancy wasn’t just my imagination. I needed proof that we hadn’t fail...Now, don̵...

MomsenseNYC: November 2011
http://www.momsensenyc.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
In nonsense is strength" -Kurt Vonnegut. Saturday, November 12, 2011. I spent the summer of 2011 at my wonderful aunt and uncle's house in the country. They unconditionally opened up their home and never once made me, my son, or my husband feel unwelcome. I felt so surrounded by love at their place. There was such a wonderful rhythm and flow among everyone. It was really hard to leave. Here's a slight glimpse into my summer of love. I walked in the woods. I got mosquito bites. I helped plant herbs. I sat...
