Hi, I'm Tierra. I'm a first time mom. Currently full time, working up until my due date. ...I'm an introvert, but my fiancé keeps telling me I need to find new friends ...so here I am .

Wondering when I should take my maternity leave? I work full time still as a phlebotomist. Work is getting a lot harder to do. I am worried about finances if I go to early. How soon did you mommas take your leave?

AM I THE ONLY ONE

Who feels like when I'm on the highway traveling and me and a car follow eachother for awhile, I feel like we are friends and when they exit I get sad?!? Because if I'm not the only one who feels like this then I have the BEST story of my life for you.

Birth Plan Rant

I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?

My 6 year old and I got our nails done today. She got her first manicure and they painted Olaf on her thumb! Some people have expressed that they think she's to young to be getting a manicure. I used the manicure as a bribe to get her to stop biting her nails and if it works...I'm going to keep taking her bi weekly when I go for a fill. I remember my parents not letting me get a manicure until I was in high school. Is it really so strange for a little girl to regularly get manicures?
