I'm a midwestern, late-thirties, SAHM of a spunky two-year-old named Jenna. My blog name comes from my background and training. We didn't think I could have kids because I have severe endometriosis, & had happily settled into the idea of being childless. I was in grad school on my way to a PhD in Clinical Psychology, specializing in children, when our pregnancy surprise happened. When problems developed with the pregnancy leading to 3 months of bed-rest, I took a leave of absence from the program, intending to return after Jenna was born. When we learned the extent of her problems and the care she would require, I completely withdrew from the program to stay home with her. It's a decision I've never regretted.
