I gave birth to my son on Feb. 2. It was a mostly relaxed labor as I did not dilly-dally and made sure I quickly got an epidural since I had an induction. After around 24 hours in labor, he was born in the late morning and weighed 6 lbs, 14 ounces. It was fairly surreal going through the whole process.
However, not very long after his birth, while I was still in the hospital, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed quickly consumed me.

It’s that time of year again. The time when we turn our attention to the coming new year and begin to ponder all we hope to accomplish in it. Goal setting is healthy, even necessary. As Benjamin Franklin said, “He who aims at nothing is bound to hit it.” This is surely true. Waking each morning with a goal or two in mind gives us a sense of purpose, and accomplishing a goal drives us to pursue another.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (just in case you didn’t know), and there are pink ribbons everywhere.
For those that don’t know me, I am a two-time breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed the first time at 32 in 2010. Then, just a few weeks before my husband returned home from his third deployment in 2014, the cancer returned.
Nothing says “Welcome home, Babe,” quite like the words “The cancer is back.”
