Love the post because it makes you seem like a real person and I think it’s easy to forget that when I don’t know you and just see pictures of you and your family.

First of all, about this supposed 20 lbs you need to lose. If you were ever 20 lbs thinner than you are now, you were clearly too thin. This is based on pictures of you now with the camera adding 10 lbs. I can’t imagine how thin you must be in person!

Also, I have had 4 children completely naturally (no drugs or anything) and resent that other women who’ve had natural births are giving us a bad name by being judgemental. I agree that if you choose to have a c-section that is 100% up to you. Do people get judged for having other elective surgeries, like a face-lift or gastric bypass or something? No, so why judge someone who wants a c-section? Personally, I feel a bit judgemental of doctors who seem to push them on women for their own convenience, but if the mother decides she really wants one after being informed of the risks, that is her decision and no one else’s!

Erin–I love your blog…even your venting! Sometimes you just have to dump the baggage somewhere! And we, your readers, are here to listen.

BTW–if you have not seen it yet…get The Tudors from Showtime (even my husband will watch it over a Sportscenter…at least after he has seen the scores and highlights from his team…).

Can I get my brain together to comment? My dogs are driving me nuts, I had a dream last night about stepping on the scale, and I wish my friends were closer to see my baby girl. I had a c section and then spent 6 weeks convincing myself I had wimped out. The smile in the morning out weighs my frustration come the 5:30 fussies but I have to remind myself of it often. Great post! Reminds me that we are in this together. Happy Thanksgiving.

I think this is the most honest post I’ve ever read and I don’t get pity party from this at all. I can only imagine what all you’re going through and I think you’re amazing for doing everything as well as you are. I love coming to your blog everyday for your take on things and to hear how life is going with a little one and pups. You’re one of my faves.. Keep your head up girlie. I personally think you’re awesome =)

Go to your reunion. I went to my 5 year and it was awesome. I can’t wait for the one next year!

I love this post, because I feel like that sometimes, too!

And this is another reason why we’re besties.

GAH I feel like I have nothing to blog about or, if i do, it’s always about the same thing: my lost engagement ring or my writing.

Also, I found this post refreshing and real, not a mini pity party. We all have those days.

P.S. I love you.

I love this post. Sometimes you just have to say it like it is. And there must be something in the water because blog content has been hard to come by for me too!
