Your daughter couldn't be more adorable if she tried.<BR/><BR/>Reading blogs and books by mothers who are open and honest about the situation is therapeutic for me. I adopted my first baby and had a wonderful experience. I was fortunate enough to conceive my second daughter naturally. What I never anticipated was the aftershocks of giving birth. Colicky baby, panic attacks and pos-partum depression. Who could ask for anything more, right? People don't talk about experiences like that. I have no idea if anyone outside of my circle of friends reads my blog, but maybe if I'm honest about my experiences other women who need to read about less than ideal situations won't feel so bad about themselves. I've hated myself for 18 months now. YUCK!<BR/><BR/>Reading funny and heartwarming posts like yours is so wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988244502155885428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1147741461568981262006-05-15T21:04:00.000-04:002006-05-15T21:04:00.000-04:00fantastic! i am only beginning to digest what thi...fantastic! i am only beginning to digest what this whole blogging thing means to me, but you are summing up so many of my own thoughts here. i know that when i am with newborn in early winter, this here sphere is going to be a lifesaver.<BR/><BR/>oh, and chocolatey??!!! i am sitting here at home, blogging, and I <I>forgot to crack into the stash of mother's day chocs</I> I was proud recipient of. what gives???" <BR/><BR/>lovely post, be back later (and fatter).gingajoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356643079413822527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1147728695826627442006-05-15T17:31:00.000-04:002006-05-15T17:31:00.000-04:00oh, yes, you can link the post to yours.
