4 months old

It's hard to believe that Jenica is 4 months old already. The time has gone by so fast. She had her doctor's check up today and another round of shots. She cried longer this time than she did last time but still fell asleep before we even left the doctors office (I try to plan her appointments around nap time so it works out good.) Her doctor says that she is very healthy and alert for her age and was impressed that she's sleeping 11 to 12 hours a night. He says we can start baby food if we want but there's no hurry so we may wait another month or two. She still seems to be doing fine and feeling satisfied on milk alone and I guess waiting a little longer can help avoid food allergies in the future. We were supposed to take her for her first snowshoeing adventure on New Years Day but the weather wasn't really cooperating with our plan so Rob went with our group of friends while Jenica and I stayed home. We may try to venture out again this weekend if the weather is looking better.We took Jenica's 4 month pictures on Sunday in our makeshift studio. They are posted on facebook if you're interested. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=67990&l=221dc&id=516020965

How we got here…

Some of you have noticed that we moved. Some of you know that I bought a house. Some of you know I bought the house with my kids’ dad, my “wasband” of 5 years. Yup, you read that right! Me and the ex-husband purchased a home together. No, we are not getting back together. We have totally separate living spaces and it’s been so wonderful for the kids. Here’s how it started back in December. This is a page from my journal that I was looking back on.  It was my personal writing to myself that I feel led to share, so please be kind. The holidays are definitely a challenging time for me. Broken families, childhood, trauma, anniversaries of loss, along with the cold weather, short days, and little sunlight here in the PNW… It definitely challenges my mental health.  This will be my first winter without antidepressants in quite a while. I think I might have done one of the Mexico winters without pharmaceuticals, but other than that it’s been at least 11 or 12 years since I’ve been anti-depres

(I wrote this a month ago, but I’m just now finally brave enough to share it here. If you comment, please be kind.) I’ve probably taken 25 flights over the last year or so, and every time up until now I’ve thought that things would be better if the plane I was on just crashed, and I died, and Rob could collect the insurance money and hire a nice nanny to care for the kids and I could just go to heaven and be with Jesus instead of having to go through all the pain and hurt that comes with getting divorced. I know that this is completely selfish of me, and I would have never done anything to intentionally end my own life and leave my kids without a mother, but I honestly felt that death was the only way out of the situation I was in. I was not strong enough to leave my marriage, but it had become quite apparent that I was not strong enough to stay either.  Today I took off on an airplane, on one last solo trip before I become a single mom, and for the first time in over a year, I didn’t
