Christmas 2021

 I haven't taken any time to sit and reflect on this past year's Christmas. So now, I will. 


Christmas 2021. Life in Covid. The Christmas season began just after Halloween. Americans start Christmas festivities earlier and earlier now, and I have no reason to complain about that!  


We did Jolobokoflod the week before Christmas. Liam and I went to DC as we traditionally do. That day was unseasonably warm, and we walked down the mall carrying our coats. 

The boys and I enjoyed multiple walks around town to see the lights, and drives around the county to see Christmas lights on houses. The week before Christmas, Uncle Rod and Aunt Cindy came over for dinner. It was so nice to sit and catch up with them in what was our first times in years to do so! 

 For Christmas Eve, we went to my mom's house for dinner. Laura joined us. Then Liam went to Matt's for the evening and Christmas morning. My parents came for dinner on Christmas. On the Monday after Christmas, we did "family" Christmas with my siblings and their families, and my mom.

I started this at around 8 weeks because of nausea.  Meds I changed and added because of sub-chorionic hemorrhage *After every major bleed I take extra progesterone in the morning.  * I had stopped the B6 at 13 weeks when my nausea subsided. I resumed it at 19 weeks to get to help my SCH heal  *I take additional magnesium to calm my ...

Never enough

I honestly wish people knew how hard it is for single parents to do basically anything. Getting out of the house, getting everyone to bed, getting free time to my own... all require a lot of coordination and there is NO backup. There is no one to fill in when I'm sick or to step up when I just need 5 minutes or to tell me I'm doing a good job when everyone's asleep and the house is so quiet.  I feel like a failure in so many parts of my life; that I'm just not following up enough, I'm not doing enough, I'm not appreciative enough. It's just never enough. 🤷🏼‍♀️
