The Accidental Surrogate: Part 3

August 3, 2018

  Darcie was 18 weeks on July 22nd. Due Date: Dec 23 Halfway done She is almost halfway through, and she cannot get over how fast this has gone, but yet her December due date seems lifetimes away.  Her tummy protrudes now, there is no hiding anything anymore. Figuring out her wardrobe, where she feels confident and looks appropriate is a daily struggle. She is starting to feel the flutters of movement but no full blown movement yet. And she is emotional; flying off from happy, to extreme sadness in a moments notice. She feels absolutely bat shit crazy. Over analyzing, over thinking, ... Read More...

The Accidental Surrogate: Part Two

The Accidental Surrogate Part Two

The Accidental Surrogate: Part 2 9 weeks along Official due date: December 23, 2018.   Everyone knows now. Everyone that matters at least. It’s completely surreal and Darcie can’t believe this is the direction her life has taken. Let’s recap. Darcie is pregnant from a one night stand with a man she hasn’t spoken to since. She is carrying this baby to term for her brother and sister in law to legally adopt. Which will make her Auntie Darcie. Meanwhile she is having to navigate the rocky terrain of sharing the house with her ex husband while this baby grows inside of her, which is ... Read More...

How to tell your boss that you have to miss work again, because your kid is sick. Again.

May 22, 2018

How to tell your boss that you have to miss work again, because your kid is sick. Again. You’re at work, and your phone rings. You reluctantly look to see the caller ID. If you have to miss work one more time because your kid is sick, you are pretty sure you're fired.... It’s your child's daycare. ‘No, no, no, no, no, no!!! NO!’ you think. Please do NOT be sick again. I cannot miss another day of work. You contemplate not answering. It’s not that you don’t want to run and pick up that sweet babe and snuggle and nurse them back to health. Because every ounce of you does. But the idea that ... Read More...

Hi, I’m Erin!

Hi, I’m Erin!

Hey! I’m Erin. I’m a Mommy to 2 beautiful girls who also works full time and believe it or not, go to school part time. Because I thought I wasn’t busy enough with all that, I figured let’s really push my sanity and blog about my nonsense. This is a place of unapologetic truth. I LOVE being a Mommy, but I am human. I don’t glamorize that shit. I live in Canada, British Columbia for all you geographically correct Mofo’s. I love Wine, my kids, Bubble bath and ‘me’ time. Ie: folding laundry while watching Netflix.

Miscarriage. Pregnancy loss. Chemical pregnancy. Still born. You peed on the stick. You saw that pink line. Pregnant.  Maybe you were overjoyed, and it was welcome. Maybe it was a shock and fear and panic ran through you, but once the shock settled ... Read More...
