  Well I'm Mortified

  First things first: Mom and Dad, I know you read this blog.  Why don’t you take a break at this point and just skip this post?  No, really, skip it.  Thanks in advance.  It definitely falls under the category of “overshare” and “things that probably should not be posted on the internet” and most of all “things I really don’t need my parents to read”.

  The Doctor Is In (At Last)

   My first time with dental stuff.  I’ll never forget my first patient, my first injection, my first filling, my first extraction, my first crown, and so on.  I was never sure if they could tell it was the first time I’d done whatever I was doing on a real live person.

  Someday

  Caroline is a happy kid.  She has her friends at daycare, she has my parents, she has my friends, and she has me.  Her father is not all that present in her life, but she doesn’t seem to miss that.  I guess she hasn’t really ever known anything else.

  Start Here: My Story

  Hi!  I’m Julia, single mom to Caroline, age two, who I adore but did not plan for.  I got pregnant with her unexpectedly about halfway through dental school.  I was married at the time.

  Worth It

  Most of you who read this blog are mothers.  Some of you are even single mothers, like me.  So I’m sure that you will be all too familiar with a lot of what I feel like talking about tonight: how motherhood is amazing and awful, all at the same time.

  We Are Family

  There are a lot of things about single motherhood that I fell into pretty naturally.  Taking care of Caroline alone, for example, and sleeping by myself in the bed.

  Other things take a little more time to get used to
