New Insight

This week I have had two conversations with 2 new moms and both were saying the same thing in different ways. Essentially going in to labor is one painful, pretty crappy day but ultimately it's just one day. There is so much focus and hype and obsession over it but really it's just one day and then you have to figure out how to deal with a baby and everything is forever different. Instead of focusing on how our lives are never going to be the same again and that we will have a completely dependent being on our hands we get fixated and obsessed with the actual labor and delivery. It's all abstract to me at this point, the labor, the baby, the sleepless nights, all of it. None of it feels real.

I was talking to someone who had an OB and ended up loving her doctor and despising her doula, really you can't win in this game.

Yesterday I worked in a coffee shop for over 3 hours, I feel like one of the cool kids with my spiffy new mac laptop! Like a true American consumer I can't believe I went so long without it.

Here's my favorite posting of today:
