I'm still single, so figured I'd try something else....very encouraging, thanks :o) Ah, thank you!

I waited for his friend to walk by and grabbed his sleeve with some bogus question like, "Are you guys a hockey team or something?" That was two Jameson's into the night, mind you, but I think I did inquire about his cute friend, my now husband, and request he sit with us and chat. So I guess technically I used an interloper, but cosmically, I invited him. Convoluted answer, but I'm glad you were inspired to leave the house. There's really not much else to it. Keep us posted.

Wed, 11 May 2011 19:07:39 +0000 http://teresastrasser.com/blog/?p=927#comment-8360 Hi Teresa I've been meaning to ask this for about a year! I read your article called 'get out of the house' which I have been doing thanks to your article and the movie UP(Great get out and live your life pixar flick) Anyhoo...you said you saw your a cute guy at a restaurant (your future husband) and you met. Did you actually go up to him?? I've been wondering...I'm 36 and I've noticed that I'm starting to walk up to men now. Not out of desperation but...well, I hate regretting not talking to someone. So, did you go up to him or vise versa? :) Hi Teresa

I always really liked your honesty. I'm so glad to read your honest blog about how you went back on a lot of your pronouncments before you had a baby because I honestly stopped listening to you and reading your site when I saw what it was all about. I think it's becuause I had recently had a baby and I had terrible post partum depression and a lot of problems breastfeeding, and guilt when I started the hybrid breast-formula situation. I was in a horrible place even though I had this wonderful new baby! My life was what you were pronouncing yours would not be like and it made me feel even worse about myself. Like, look what I have become!!! I have become what others don't want to be and what others make fun of!!! I lost friends over it. Heartless friends that I'm glad to be rid of. But, still hurts non-the-less. So, I'm glad to see that you have gone back on some of your pronouncements because I can now listen to you and read your blog again!! I just finished listening to your and Lynette's first podcast and I love it! I went through all the stupid breast feeding guilt and torture when my daughter was your sons age. It was terrible. But, my daughter is now 15 months old, walking, starting to talk, eating regular food and milk. I honestly have to say that it gets SO much easier and I have forgotten almost all about the breast feeing guilt. Also, if I have another I will not put myself through that again. Just wanting you to know that it's common and it does get better!!! Teresa,

I too made lots of pronouncements. I carry around a fracking bottle of A-1 now because of all the crow I must force down my gullet. Enjoyed your post.

You appeared for (what I believe to be) the first time since Buster was born. You asked about "Baby Brain". A few episodes before, you were on the streets asking people about names and on this episode, he never mentions his name!! I had to look you up to find out and ... WaLA!! A WONDERFUL forum that has me spewing snot all over my laptop in hysterics! Thank you for making me feel better!! To let you know, my firstborn was breech too. I ended up with a c-section despite 3+ attempts at a "version". Very painful, if you didn't try it. My next attempt at giving birth wound up to be waaayy too long for my taste, so I finally said "Let's just do this" and the third time around, I just pulled out my calendar and asked "How's June 3rd?". I, like you, want to know ALL!! Take it from a woman a little further down the road than you... despite the TON of books out there, you have to feel your way around being a Mom. I have discovered a few gems that I'd like to share with you. "On Becoming Babywise" - helps you to schedule your baby to sleep through the night very early (claims 6 weeks, but my experience was 7 weeks). "1-2-3 Magic" - helps you to discipline in a way that you won't lose your mind and "The Explosive Child". I have a son with Non-Verbal Learning Disorder, but it's valid for ANY child! One other wonderful book I have yet to master "Siblings Without Rivalry". I'm still trying this one on, but the basis is one that MUST be tried! I hope you got to read this because I truly enjoyed reading your blog and I hope that I can be a Mom that can help you along the Maze of Motherhood. Congratulations on Nathaniel James!! xoxoxo Teresa,
