My beautiful and talented friend, Yasmine, has graciously offered to write a guest post for my blog; offering a new perspective on all things motherhood.\u00a0 A wife and loving mother of one of the cutest little boys I know, here is her story:<\/p>\n
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n
When Maya said she was looking for a guest blog I quickly deleted her email. Too much pressure! Then I was on the subway and thinking about a topic Maya hasn’t covered on this blog. I realized she would never cover it because I don’t think she faced this issue… So I decided to write for all the moms-to-be and new moms and old moms for that matter. I had to write this for all of Momdom.<\/p>\n
I was part of Maya’s mommy group and one of my most vivid memories is sitting down at our first gathering and someone saying: \u00a0Is anyone else headed for divorce? When we all started chuckling (except maya*). I felt the weight of a future custody battle lift off my shoulders.<\/p>\n
After ten years together I thought my husband (J) and I were unflappable, but eight months of sleep deprivation flapped us. Big time. Turns out backpacking through Europe together really isn\u2019t that much of a relationship challenge, after all.<\/p>\n
To say we were on different wavelengths would be an insult to the bitterness of those months. He wanted date nights. I wanted lie-in-bed-while-someone-spoon-feeds-me nights.<\/p>\n
