My favorite position these days
Oh the heartburn, the back pain, the gasping for air... pregnancy is a lot of fun. I wish I could just lie around all day. I am tired all the time and I have no energy to keep up with a definitely crazy 2 1/2 -year-old. What is it with toddlers? They are like grumpy old people only with 3 times as much energy!
On an unrelated note... I have occasionally gotten feedback about this blog saying that I am very negative about my life and motherhood. I think that's a valid argument and I've thought about explaining this several times but I always end up concluding that... it wouldn't make sense. Explaining myself, that is. This blog is mine and it is what it is. You get it or you don't. I am not trying to give a balanced and accurate depiction of my life. I write for enjoyment and about what moves me. If I'm misunderstood I'll just have to deal with it.

Hmmm, I don't get that impression at all! I think you give a pretty balanced view of motherhood, and let's face it, some of the best humor comes out of bad situations, so it's natural to write about those. It would be pretty boring to read somebody's blog that was entirely positive: "Today Veronika took a nap and we went to the park. It was great!" "Today we played with toys and I love being a mom! Come back tomorrow for more fun and excitement!"
Dinka, you are right!!! I feel sorry for those people who donŽt understand you. Besides, if youŽd write entirely positive things only it would be very boring and sound like one of these `How to be a good parent` books.
I love your honesty on this blog-- you tell it like it is, and it isn't always pure bliss all the time. I certainly don't get the impression that you have a negative outlook on life and motherhood-- just a balanced one.
Oh jeepers, tell that person to bug off. You are not overly negative. Like the previous commenter said, you tell it as is, and I like it that way. It's NOT all fun and games to be a mommy, and the fun stuff is not always the stuff that makes great blog material!
