New Tattoo
The day after Valentines Day I drove out to Winchester and finally got my second tattoo. People love to ask me why I went to a shop that’s so far away. It’s a familiar, trusted place. And I thoroughly admire the work of both artists there. Plus, sometimes you simply want to go for a… Continue reading

Birthmom Q&A – part two
Q: How do you navigate birthday and holiday gifts? A: Her birthfather and I do give her gifts, but really only when we see her twice a year for our visits. Those visits coincide fairly well with her birthday and a holiday, so that’s what we like to do. We try to talk with her… Continue reading

Birthmom Q&A
Okay, I’ve waited like two weeks, and haven’t gotten any more questions. This is what usually happens though… I’m going to go ahead and post this – because I can always edit it later or make another Q&A post if people ever do come back to me with questions. So, here are the three questions… Continue reading

This is (Hopefully) My Comeback Post
Okay. So, I’ve been absent from here for a long time. Like, a LONG TIME. I don’t really have much of an excuse. I’d like to say it’s because I had an office job for like 6/7 months in 2017, but that only explains part of it. Honestly, I just haven’t really felt like I have… Continue reading

Talking
This is actually an entry in my journal from today: My mood seems to be kind of all over the place lately. I go back to my psych on Friday, and I’m thinking we may need to up my Zoloft from 50mg to 75mg. It’ll really be up to her though, even though she really does… Continue reading

Brain Dump
There’s so much going on right now. Dad’s back to work this week after his knee surgery Jan 23. I’m trying to form some kind of sleep schedule, but it’s not really working terribly well. I’ve been running errands all over the place since dad’s surgery. Two of my favorite shows are now back on… Continue reading

Depression
I feel like I don’t have the right to complain that I’m tired. I haven’t even been awake for five and a half hours yet. I’ve done nothing that would make me tired. It’s just my depression that’s causing this. And I feel like that’s not a good enough reason to allow me to complain.… Continue reading

A Month In…
So, I’ve been taking these medications for a month now. I just upped the Zoloft dosage from 25mg to 50mg this past Thursday. Honestly, it may be too soon, but I think the 50 is better than the 25. Even my grandmother has noticed that I seem to be more myself than I was before I started the… Continue reading
About Me
Hello! Welcome! My name is Katy!
You can find me drinking coffee until it’s time for wine. Currently have 5 tattoos, but plans for more are in the works.
I’m a birthmom over 8 years post placement. I’ve been in a birthmom support group since November 2018, and will be leading my own come May 2023.
On Sunday mornings you can usually find me in the nursery or on the production team at church.
Various times throughout the year, you can find me staying with someone’s dog(s) while they’re away on a trip – so don’t be surprised if there are stories or pictures every so often.
