Brainshambles

I’ve been absent from here for quite a while. There have been many reasons for this hiatus, but one dominates. I am ever so close to the “safe” zone, and as my family and most coworkers know now…I feel like I need to justify my little self on brainshambles. It also feels appropriate to write about my experiences now, because I spent yesterday at the hospital and then commiserating in my basement on the couch. I went to bed feeling pretty horrendous despite the aid of medical intervention. But this morning (at about 5:00 a.m.) something bizarre happened. I awoke feeling, hungry. And then very awake. And then ready to pick up the pieces of my behind-schedule life. A quiet, fairly clean house…still dark from the seasonal time change, and a cup of tea with the dogs. This is what I’ve needed for nearly two months.

Are you sick of reading yet? Well, the reason I place so much emphasis on the triumph of waking up without crying, writhing, or hyperventilating…is because my husband and I are about 10 weeks pregnant.

With twins.

And I hope that this morning is a sign of more good to come. I am so thankful for my great family who came out in full force to heal me. And my wonderful amazing husband…he amazes me more every day with the level of devotion to this cause. Our cause.

So…here’s to a future of…mommy blogging? You know, the sassy fun kind, written by 24 year old blond mamas with tattoos and wiener dogs.
