Week 29

 

I can hardly believe we actually have this weeks post done and posted in a timely fashion! I hit the 29 week mark on Wednesday and we got the pictures out of the way this evening so I wouldn't have to worry about it this weekend. After all, I'll be busy doing taxes and taking pictures for other people so better to have one less thing to worry about. Plus, I wanted to show off the fun new maternity style I'm trying after reading about it on another blog. Instead of wearing skirts around the waste, you pull them all the way up and wear them as dresses! Genius I tell you, and super cute with leggings and a jacket! I have about 3 that I can do this with so you may see it again before this little maternity series is done. Jenica and I got to go meet our friends' Jessica and Fabrice's new baby girl yesterday, and now, out of all my friends who are or were pregnant, I am the next one in line! So exciting! It was really fun to hold baby Jada and be reminded of what a miracle babies are! Here is a picture of their sweet new bundle:


Until next week... blessings on you all! Hope you had a wonderful St. Patricks Day!

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
