I have made some big changes in my life over the past few months. As you know, Darryl and I are expecting a baby! We've been spending a lot more time together and have discussed living together. I realize this is a big step, but I would love our child to be born in a home that is more intact. While I have some reservations, I think we are making a good decision for our family to be together.
I visited mom and dad to see how everyone is doing. I also wanted to update them on how this pregnancy is going. I informed them that Darryl and I have moved in together.
It was good to see my sisters, Alessandra and Stormy. My little brother is growing up fast too. He's already a school aged child.

Dad seems happy to be having a grandchild to spoil.
When I returned home after the visit, Darryl was upset with me. He didn't like me leaving and being away for so long even though I was with my family.
I can't say I really understand Darryl's anger, but I am trying to cope with the situation. Maybe knowing he is going to be a dad soon is making him more stressed.
It's baby time! Let's go have this baby!
We had a little girl. Her name is Violet.

I am thinking having a crying baby who needs a lot of attention is causing Darryl a lot of stress. He is taking it out on me even though I do the best I can to keep Violet calm and quiet.
It's time for work but I am not feeling my best. I hate having to leave Violet at home with Darryl. I know, it makes no sense because he is her dad. I just hope he can keep his anger and stress intact while caring for her.
I'm trying to remain positive, but I think mom and dad are seeing a change in me. I haven't felt myself lately. Maybe it's because of all the hormone changes from giving birth. I hope things will settle down soon.
Promoted to MVP baby! I'm almost there!
Darryl feeding daughter Violet. She will soon age up to a toddler.
Darryl was in a bad mood again tonight. I needed to spend more time doing research for my job. He wanted me to go to bed and didn't seem to understand I am working hard for this promotion. He is beginning to cause so much stress in this family. I thought we could work together as a family and help one another but he is just making things more difficult.
Holding my daughter Violet. I love her so much!

I'm sure it's apparent things are getting very strained in our home lately due to Darryl's behavior. I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to deal with this. I wanted Violet to have a home with both parents. I wanted her to have a happy home. Darryl is making this everything but happy. It's not fair to Violet and it's not fair to me either. If things don't change, I will have to break things off with him. This time for good.
Potty training Violet. She is learning but still has an accident occasionally.
Darryl was very critical tonight of the way I was potty training Violet. He chose to yell at me with Violet present, and it was very upsetting. This behavior has got to stop.
I had family over and Darryl felt it was okay to be disagreeable and yelled at me in front of my family. This has gone too far. After they are gone, I think it is time to break off with Darryl for good. This is not the family I choose for myself and my child.
