I was on OpenDiary for 10 years, until they finally shut it down. Thought I could live without it, and gave it a try for 6 months. Turns out I can't. I miss writing, miss sharing, miss reading other people's journals. Some of my old OD buddies are here... hope I run into them sometime.

Emotional in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
This morning I forgot to take my sulpiride and got really emotional. It was like 3 pm and I couldn’t figure out why I was going out of my mind, wanting to scream at the baby for not going to slee...
His accomplishments in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
He has peed in the tub, crapped in the pool, puked all over me (and pretty much everyone in the family), bitchslapped the cat, pulled his aunt’s hair, scratched his own face, cried at his uncle o...
Middle of the day in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Not the time I usually write, but Daniel’s sleeping. He’s been a very demanding baby today–dunno what’s wrong, but he’s pretty much crying all the time. Maybe teething? Who knows, poor thing. At ...
I don't really in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Feel like writing, but I figure, what the hell. Just spent 2 hours putting Daniel down for the night. He was totally rebellious today, full of smiles and coos and chatter but definitely NOT going...
Nobody reads in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Cos I don’t get any comments. Guess that’s what I get for being away for so long. Anyway, I’ll keep on writing, even if only for myself. Someday I’ll figure out how to post those pictures. Today ...
It's the Apocalypse! in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Cos I’m writing again. Honestly, I’ll try to make a habit of writing more often. It’s probably gonna happen too… at least until I get back to work. My maternity leave ends in 5 days! OMFG!!! Wher...
Peek-a-boo! in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Here I am! Albeit briefly. I have mixed feelings about posting an entry. On the one hand, I want to immortalize these moments forever, because I WILL forget it… and on the other hand, I’m such a ...
Hi and Bye in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Shortest and fastest entry ever, while baby sleeps. Daniel is 3 months and I’m trying to encourage certain sleeping habits. So far so good… he’s sleeping through the night, bless him! Of course t...
Oh how time flies... in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Again it’s been like 3 weeks. I can’t seem to get into the hang of things. For a while there I had more time to do stuff… but then inexplicably Daniel turned from a sweet, sleepy, easygoing baby ...
Wow... in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Okay, so everyone told me having a newborn was a lot of work. No sleeping, hormone blues, crying, painful breastfeeding… and so forth and so on. But I didn’t really GET IT. Now I do. It’s A LOT O...
Daniel is here! in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
He came into my life unexpectedly last Thursday, at 37 weeks and 3 weeks ahead of Schedule (still considered full-term, thankfully). I didn’t see it coming at all. Went to bed Wednesday night aft...
Limited in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
I walked to pilates today (about 30 min), then did 60 min of actual pilates, walked 15 to the subway station, went to the closest mall … shopped for about two hours… and that was IT. Apparently I...
A damn fool in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
So today I went to the midwife for my first monitoring session, and Daniel did just fine. Then, on the way back, I dunno how I managed to get the side of my rear bumper stuck on this thing sticki...
Majorly knocked up in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Things seem to be going ok with my knocked-up friend and my majorly knocked-up self. One of my faves said this might be the making of her, and I hope it will be. At least… so far, so good, and th...
People in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
I found out today one of my best Concepcion friends is pregnant. 6 weeks. I should be thrilled! Especially because she was so supportive of my pregnancy and my choices. But it was sort of a hard ...
Still on blessed maternity leave in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
I really, really needed it. This past week has been crazy, since I was packing up and moving back to Santiago (not with furniture and stuff, cos I’m staying at my parents’ for a while, but I stil...
On maternity leave! in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Finally!! Oh man, these last few weeks, the day couldn’t come fast enough. I know it’s mostly psychological, that when you KNOW you’re close to the end you just want it to come faster… but still...
Sweeter than ever in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
So… it’s been 5 weeks since I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and 5 weeks since I went on this god-fearing diet. The first week was hard, afterwards I got used to it, and then this last ...
That’s basically my life. It’s been fun. Sometimes work gets a little overwhelming what with losing patients and psychiatric parents messing up their kids and Number One Fan being the occasional ...
Pointless? in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
I’m not really seeing the point of posting entries anymore… except for myself. Then again… isn’t that the WHOLE point? You write for yourself, and if others wanna read and note that’s fine, and i...
Funk is OVER! in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Really–what the title says. Finally, after a very productive weekend, I’m finally over my funk. I feel ready to take on next week. Hope everything goes ok.
Uh in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
I’m feeling really disgruntled. Must be those pesky mood swings everyone keeps talking about. Just seems this whole week has been filled with nothing but criticism, judgment, misunderstandings an...
Still fighting in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
But not so desperately. On Monday we had assembly, and my neighbors, as usual, were being whiny Little bitches. All they do is rant, complain and criticize. Holy crap–if everything we do is so wr...
The Good Ol' Fight in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
After three weeks, I finally managed to get the crib finished today. I like playing carpenter and all–but it was a freakin nightmare. The parts all fit right except for these dumb little wooden p...
Too bad in Life and musings of an old mom-to-be
Looks like my honeymoon period is over. I’ve got gestational diabetes :(. And my cholesterol and triglyceride levels are through the roof (305 to be exact, worst I’d ever had). I don’t get how my...
