A Reprieve
fter discussing the start of pumping with Dr. Goldfarb today, I’ve given myself a reprieve from my anticipated start-pumping date. I’ve decided to start after we send in our profile pages for the adoption books. (Yes, I’m stalling…)

I was minding my own business (as usual) when a co-worker that I will [...]
Some Unpleasantness
onight was a tough night for me. It was not only tough because I went out running in 20 degree weather without my gloves. It was tough because of the conversation I had afterwards with Luda.
