A walk in the present- October 2, 2011
Yesterday Charlotte and I laced up our sneakers for the StrollerThon ’11 with my lovely friend and sorority sister, Beth Anne. You may know her as Blair. The StrollerThon raises money for Postpartum Education and Support. This group provides resources, support, and awareness of perinatal mood disorders.
Before our excursion we fueled my addiction to Pumpkin Spice Lattes with a Starbucks run, and refilled Beth Anne’s stroller tire with air. (I got cute shots of the tire repair, but she was squatting in the pic, and no one wants to be on the Internet squatting. You’re welcome, BA!)
We put our babes in their hoodies and matching Bumblerides and we were off in the glorious fall weather!
It was funny. There was a little blog talk, but no college reminiscing. It was about the present. It was about where we are now. Beth Anne is a survivor. She’s a walking, make that a strolling, proof there is life after Postpartum Depression. She is a HUGE inspiration to me and I was so proud to be strolling along beside her.
After the walk she got a free massage.
I may not be posting the squatting pic, but I am posting this one. Ha!
Charlotte and Harrison got a chance to play. She was all about this “older man”. I don’t think he was so sure.
Charlotte could have cared less about the actual playground. The mulch was her fascination. This was her tushy….

I think Beth Anne and I having a morning in the present, with our babies is proof there is life after PPD. I’m doing well, and she’s doing well. She went home and wrote this, and I couldn’t be happier for her.
