Secret secrets are no fun…
“… secret secrets hurt everyone.” — Stripper from “The Office”
This quote from my favorite episode of “The Office” (Season 3, Episode 14) perfectly sums up every aspect of pregnancy, post-pregnancy and parenting. Why? Because of the shit no one tells you.

It’s not like these life lessons are actual secrets — they’re just the things no one talks about. But why? Some of this stuff would have been so helpful going into all this (not that I would take any of it back). Everyone says (threatens) “Oh, your life is about to change in a big way,” “You’ll never be the same,” “Your life is over,” “Enjoy your freedom while you can,” and none of them care to elaborate on what they’re referring to. It’s like some cruel riddle you have to decipher your damn self.
And trust me, my husband S and I have deciphered them alright. All the while asking/wondering why (why?!) no one was helpful enough to tell us this was something to expect. Buncha jerks.
So that’s the premise behind this blog. I’m here to talk about ALL the things. Pregnancy, post-pregnancy and parenting (the 3 P’s) shouldn’t be so mysterious or seemingly taboo to talk about. They’re gross, surprising, funny and scary. They’re also all worth it.
So the next time you look down and see breastmilk has leaked through your shirt for the umpteenth time, just know you’re not alone, girl.
