The Origins of Megatron Mama

Well, for most of the duration of my relationship, Mike has called me Megatron, which I thought was a pretty cute pet name. It wasn't until just recently while watching Transformers (don't ask me why) I realized that the super evil villain is none other than... Megatron. I realized that this was a little secret joke that Mike shared with himself. This information came to me while 7 months pregnant with Owen... a time when the comparison to a mammoth, destructive, killing machine was particularly hurtful (and dangerous...) Now that Owen has arrived and I am adjusting to life as a mother, there are definitely times when in my sleep deprived, overwhelmed, uncertain state of mind that I feel more like Megatron. I feel sorry for those poor souls who have to deal with me in this state. This blog is my attempt at staying sane during this period; laughing at my imperfections, and documenting the many many awesome things that happen in my day to day life as a mom. Every moment with Owen is so precious that I don't want to ever forget or take them for granted.
