So…I think I’ve lost count on exactly how long it’s been since this inner ear virus took over my life. It’s been almost 4 months….but I’m not exactly sure how many weeks that is. I’m giving up on counting. Here is where I’m at right now. I had […]
Just a little over 12 weeks have gone by since an “ear infection” hit me and took over my life. Who would have thought that a simple (presumably) virus (labyrinthitis) could turn my world upside down so much? As I seek further answers and hope for recovery, I’m […]
9 weeks post inner-ear virus (for now, until we rule out anything more serious, this is what the ENT has diagnosed me with–Labyrinthitis), and I’m still waiting for that miracle day that my ear might “release” and all of a sudden, I will get my hearing back in […]
Recently (almost eight weeks ago to be exact), I started to feel a sensation of “fullness” in my left ear. My daughter was only six weeks old, and I was barely recovering from my c-section, so I thought I would let my body try to heal whatever was […]

This shall be my first official rant on this blog…probably aimed at a ton of innocent, well-meaning people. I don’t really understand why pregnancy is one of those times in life where all the unsolicited advice and borderline social-misfit comments come out, but it is, and there are […]
For the last few days, a lot of blog post ideas have been popping up in my head, but most of them have revolved around my own opinions on unpleasant subjects such as the Boston Bombings. Perhaps some will appreciate these opinions, but I’ve taken a vacation day […]
It might be possible, that impending motherhood is giving me a reason to finally say all of these things that have been floating around in my brain for far too many years. Or, it might be because this world is just so crazy, that all I seem to […]
