I wrote a relationship advice column for The Taos News for a decade, then I had a baby. Bye-bye life as I knew it. I write about relationships, parenthood, friendships, being a working mother, traffic, the human condition, men, women, family, good food, pet peeves and whatever else strikes my fancy.

Funny how things happen...
I will say however, that I have been musing over the fact that I did get pregnant. For so long I sort of convinced myself that I couldn't get pregnant. I had no proof of this of course, besides the fact that I'm not 22, but no evidence suggesting that my fertility was in question. I thought that at the very least it would be difficult for me to conceive and when that time came there would be a lot of trials and tribulations, tears and temper tanturms, and maybe a lost baby or two. I even found myself looking at adoption pages on the internet, thinking it's the baby I want, not necessarily the pregnancy and certainly not the birth (how right I was about one thing). So, funny how things happen. It was so simple, so simple that I didn't even notice that everything was changing inside the body I thought I knew so well. Despite how difficult this has been, I can't help but be incrediably thankful for this gift that has so utterly changed my life. And thank goodness I have the partner I do. I think more than anything I have found myself wondering if I deserve such a good man but before I can analyze all the reasons why I don't, he's there, with a snack and a smile. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
