A year ago I was crying in the crowd listening to @thewonderyears play Wyatt's Song thinking about my miscarriages and how I wanted to experience parenthood more than anything. Today I'm holding my two month old thinking about how the universe had a plan for me. I love this life.

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

Haven't been on here in almost a year, but I'm a mom to an 8-week old baby now and also one year sober. That's the update. See you in another year.

Congrats to Brad Marchand and Brad Marchand only

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

Brad Marchand is the king of playoff hockey. Somebody give this man the cup.

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

Genuinely, Chroma is zero skips front to back. The serotonin hit it delivers is nearly unmatched. Catch me screaming every word.

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

I get to see @Cartel play one of my top 5 albums of all time front to back with the love of my life the week that I turn 30 and I can honestly think of few better ways to celebrate.

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

@purenoiserecs @transitma's Joyride. Perfect summer album front to back, no skips

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

Had to kill a bumblebee that was stuck in my house today and I feel terrifically guilty about it

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

Wide awake with bread baking in the oven at 7am on a Sunday. Something I would only do for my mother.

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

5:30 flight and we're both still awake watching Love on the Spectrum. This is what friendship is about.

@howthewindssigh Preach it girl

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

18 days til vacation, it can't come quick enough. I'm so sick of the snow.

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

Anyone else get that thing where you see a sweet video of a baby and your heart feels like it was stepped on by an elephant and your chest gets tight and you get a lump in your throat and you feel paralyzed by your own infertility? Just me? K.

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

@howthewindssigh What do they mean by "funny business"?! Do they expect you to like, openly be sucking it in the same room as them? Nah man. 😂

trans rights are human rights

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

I get to go to NOLA with my best friend in 6 weeks, and then 3 weeks after that I get to see @thewonderyears play with a string ensemble with our other best friends and I am absolutely about to have the best spring ever.

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

Floating in the tub during a snow day with a white claw is top tier relaxation

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

We didn't get poetic justice but we did get one of the best diss tracks of all time so I guess it's okay

[Shelby Burbs @themaineburb]

Heard the @headabovewater cover of All Too Well today and immediately reverted back to an emotional 16 year old. 😭 It's perfect.

You meet with a social worker, a dietician, a bariatrician, and a surgeon. They remove 80% of your stomach. You join support groups. You work out. You change your entire diet. And 6 months post-op you've lost 70lbs and found yourself. Happy 6month post-VSG to me. No looking back.
