I shared my journey of placenta previa during my pregnancy with Connor. At the time that was published, I was 34 weeks pregnant, and waiting on pins and needles to get to our scheduled c-section on October 5 with no issues.

On September 27, the day before my 34th birthday and the day before...

Placenta Previa: My Story of a Rogue Placenta
I'm going to skip the usual niceties reserved for my first blogs back after months of being on hiatus, except to say that yes, it has been months. Frankly, I'm starting to go a little crazy, so I had to take some time to write what's on my heart and mind after what's been a rough 6 or so weeks.
So, before I start, I guess this particular post needs just a little introduction: I'm pregnant again! Like, really pregnant - 34 weeks, to be exact. Our second baby boy #2 is due on November 2, and we...

Cats Have 9 Lives—Bitches Have 2
Well, was this the worst episode of The Bachelor, or what. No question mark, as this was not a question. I've never watched a more dark, confusing episode of this franchise. So many questions...let's get started.
The short story: Nick cleaned house last night and got rid of SIX contestants.
The medium story: Nick hates being The Bachelor. No one is having fun. This season is officially boring.
Now for the long story.
We start from last week's "cliffhanger" where Taylor swims up from...

Whipped Cream & Lies: 37 Thoughts on The Bachelor
Dear ABC,
All I want is for an episode of The Bachelor to end with a rose ceremony. Just ONE episode. Please?All of this TO BE CONTINUED is really screwing my emotional intelligence.
In the words of Corrine, "#SorryNotSorry" but this episode was stupid as fuck. It just was. I have so many things to say, I'm not quite sure where to start. I made a list, and it shall qualify as my recap:
Corrine and Taylor at the beginning. So, just so we all remember, Corrine started that conversation, didn't...

Taco Spas & Poopy Flaws
Hey, Bachelor, can we be done with the annoying "cliffhangers" that don't actually end in anything exciting happening ? K thanks bye!
We start this week with Vanessa confronting Nick about if he wants a fuck buddy or a wife (valid), the girls threatening to go home if Corinne stays, and...Corrine is napping.
Nick responds to Vanessa's bad-assness by pulling a classic Bachelor move and assuring Vanessa he respects her concerns because he's been in her position. So...in other words, "Let's talk...

The Nanny Diaries
Well, if it wasn't clear before, it's clear now: Corinne is this season's MVP. Clearly, she's the villain this season (especially now that Liz is gone), and for good reason. One minute she's a cunning, horny, manipulative, assertive vixen and the next she's an overgrown woman-child who can't survive without nap time and her nanny.
I'm getting ahead of myself.
We left off last week with Nick having confirmed with the ladies that he's a man whore and an annoying To Be Continued... The consensus?...
