a little bittersweet

a little bittersweet

As we approach the end of March, we are getting closer to when my due date would have been had I not miscarried last July. My best friend, Beth, was due only 10 days before me, and her precious little guy was born last week. I had 3 other friends who were due all around the same time as me, and one other had her baby last night; the other two are still waiting. It makes me sad. Out of…

Migraine week

Migraine week

I’ve had a terrible last few days, mostly because of a stubborn migraine that will not die no matter how much medicine (both western and alternative) I throw at it.
