Do you remember your first grey hair? Â (If you’re reading this and you’ve not yet found a grey hair, feel free to skip ahead. Â If you’re reading this and you know all too well what I’m talking about, just nod your head and sigh.) I found mine at the tender age of 35, a mere three [...]

Weighing in at 10.1 lbs. and measuring 22 inches, he is perfect in every way possible. The CPA got to hold him first. Then it was my turn. It was love at first [...]

Let me just get this out of the way: Â at 32 weeks pregnant, I’m currently huge. Â Huge as in ginormous (is that even a word?). Â It’s funny, because I always wanted to be one of those cute little pregnant ladies that you see on TV or in the magazines. Â The cute little ladies who gain [...]

For a lot of women, a baby shower is a once in a lifetime experience.

I’m a planner by nature. Â Whenever a big event is looming, I start making my checklists and going over the fine details in order to get ready – that’s the fun in it for me, the preparation. Â So when I woke up a few nights ago feeling slightly funny, the first thing I thought wasn’t [...]

Oh, where do I begin? Â The past seven months I’ve experienced all kinds of joy: seeing the positive sign on that little stick, feeling the baby move for the first time, seeing his little face on the monitor. Â All of these things make being pregnant worth it, but I’m not going to lie to you, [...]
