fish followed by peanut m&ms do not mix.

It's really fun pulling an old lollipop out of a sweater.... love it.

I am amazed at how quickly the house can go from sparkling to completely trashed--with pure trash! ugh.

2 weeks down! We survived half way through. I have admit I don't think Hubby felt very secure leaving my pregnant hormonal bad attitude me alone with the kids...but we're all still alive and relatively healthy and happy though I could really use an attitude adjustment today (the peanut m&ms were supposed to help with that...but didn't).

Hi Jess. I wish I could say something to make it feel better. I wonder if writing everyday would help. LET IT ALL OUT!
That and cut yourself some slack. Seems like you are always trying to be perfect, but you are amazing when you are not perfect! Anyways, you can do this and I think you should ask for help. Your PPD can get worse and I wouldn't recommend holding it together for appearances'sake. Please let us know if there is something we can do; except for staying out of your business, cuz that might not happen.
Love you and your kids and Svend!

Thanks Elisa.
I am doing good. It really only gets bad when the kids are cranky. Tabitha is cutting 4 molars and hasn't slept through the night in a week.... ugh. But other than that we really are doing good. I've got some great friends that have helped me out a lot and we've done lots of kid swaps. It also helps that Svend is a lot better at calling me now (instead of waiting til he's done studying and too tired to let me vent for a bit). Mom and dad will be here tomorrow--hooray!!!!

Why single?

I remember being engaged and thinking "I can't wait til we're married and we can be together ALL the time." A married friend of mine said "yeah right. We see eachother less now." I didn't believe her :) Well, one month after graduation, babygirl came along. Hubby had a crappy job and didn't get any days off. Luckly she was born on a Sunday. We lived away from any family and dealt for a few days til help arrived. (more like cried and ate toast while never putting down a nursing baby). More school for hubby and Bugs came along. Hubby's don't get maternity leave when they're students...so again we dealt for a few days until help arrived. Moved onto Grad school. Took hubby to carpool every morning @ 6am and picked him up at 5:30pm. Dinner and kids in bed by 6:30 then studying til 10pm. Got a second car (hooray!) which allowed the kids to stay up later and sleep in...thus getting to see daddy more. 3rd year of grad school brought Sweets with it. Hubby got my text to meet me at the hospital. Left school and came over. Back at school the next day. No tears. Lots of help with friends this time :) And family arrived before I was even discharged! Baby #4 came 2 months before graduation…and shortly after we learned we did not match. ..so no job or place to go. we made it though-as you will see. Our caboose arrived at the beginning of our last year in residency. I started this blog when just 3 were at home. It's been a place for me to vent, rejoice, and basically be honest and real with out situation and that of many other students/residents/beginning doctors. Now are in our first year of our career and already we have seen several lows…but we keep chugging forward…and I'm happy to report, I'm not so single any more!
