“Was this too hard for a three-year-old? What would I be teaching her if I gave in? What would I be teaching her siblings who had been patient?”
“I hope I live a life that is worthy of you girls. I hope I make you proud.”
“On Sunday, my ex Kyle showed up to do the job, in the midday heat, on his one day off, out of the kindness of his heart.”
“Twenty years later, I never would have thought we’d be laughing about using my family’s antique couch in the wedding photos for my ex-husband’s second marriage, but here we are.”
“This is what toxic motherhood does.”
“Ever since I was in school, Grey’s Anatomy has been my favorite show, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect life to cross lines with it like this.”
“Everything was well. Our daughter would arrive in 10 days. Life was perfect and time felt endless. And then, I woke up suddenly. Gushing. A pop. Something so loud even my boyfriend jumped.”
“When I got pregnant the first time, I was 21 years old. I was married, but honestly, unhappy. Very quickly I came around to see the little life growing inside me was pure and innocent, and I fell in love. I decided I would try.”
“I don’t have a spare minute to slow down and enjoy it, but I don’t want to miss anything.”
“I looked at my husband and said, ‘Do you think he’s ready?’ ‘I think he’s ready,’ he said with a smile.”
