Work is stressing me out. The 24/7 launch was unexpected and everybody is working overtime just so we can be ready on the launch. I was on work for ten days straight. I'm expected to work again for seven days straight.

I may need to ask for a long, long vacation leave as soon as the account stabilizes.

Everybody's begging me to slow down and take a vacation. I'm in the most critical period of my pregnancy. I really wish I could just leave all this behind but I don't want to leave the people here in a bind.

I'm depressed. I cry at night. And it's not good for the baby.

Need...to...rest...

Motherhood is both empowering and debilitating at the same time.

I hate nausea. The smell of fried food always turn my stomach over.

Hungry all the time.

Not yet used to it.

7.5 months more to go.

You're alive. Your heart is beating quite strong. You are safe where you are right now. We love you so much, little one.

She's a girl
Rising from a shell
Running to spring
It is her time it is her time
Watch her run with ribbons undone

She's a rose in a lily's cloak
She can hide her charms
It is her right there will be time
To chase the sun with ribbons undone

She runs like a fire does
Just picking up daises
Comes in for a landing
A pure flash of lightning
Past alice blue blossoms
You follow her laughter
And then she'll surprise you
Arms filled with lavender

Yes my little pony is growing up fast
She corrects me and says
"You mean a thoroughbred"
A look in her eyes says the battle's beginning
From school she comes home and cries
I don't want to grow up Mom at least not tonight

You're a girl
Rising from a shell
Running through spring
With summer's hand in reach now
It is your time
It is your time
So just run with ribbons undone
It is your time yes my angel
It is your time
So just run with ribbons undone

Run run darlin'
Ribbons undone
