I Give Up.

I Give Up.

June 16, 2011

This is a really, really hard post for me to write. Part of me doesn’t want to write it, but instead keep it secret and act like everything is okay. I can’t keep on like this.

Therapy.

Miss Lisa showed up about 15 minutes early, but Ronan and I walking around outside.  She got out of her car, and I figured that she was… Read More

Maxillary Labial Frenum and Tongue Tie

June 3, 2011

When I think of a ‘whirlwind vacation’, I imagine jetting off to Paris for a romantic weekend. Jetting off ANYWHERE is not relaxing or romantic at all. I flew with Ruby to Albany, New York yesterday… and here’s why: Ruby and I have had nursing troubles for ages, and there didn’t seem to be any real solution beyond just muscling… Read More
