Where Do Babies Come From?
We had a bit of the "talk" this weekend. I didn't get into body fluids and sperm and eggs and all that but we did lay the groundwork. With it being Father's Day, and me wanting to carry on our blue balloon tradition, I felt my little inquisitor would require some answers. On Sunday we went … [Read more...]

Anxious? There’s a Website For That.
The best thing about pregnancy is that eventually it ends and you resolve to never, ever let a boy touch you again. The worst thing, aside from the weird new body hair and the crying, is the worrying. Every time I'd open up "What to Expect When You're Expecting" the book would automatically flip … [Read more...]
The Right Age to Start a Family

I am full-term and ready to pop any moment. The last few days I've felt like labour was imminent so I responsibly packed my hospital bag this morning. I neglected to do this the first time-round with L'il E and sorely regretted it as I threw random items into a bag between intense contractions. … [Read more...]
(Don’t) Say My Name
I was pregnant three times. That equaled over 27 months to stew about our future babies' names. And stew I did. My husband and I did not exactly see eye to eye about names. Here's how it would go: I would spend hours combing baby name books and blogs and come up with a list of potential names. … [Read more...]
Nothing to wear
(Image source) I know I'm supposed to feel beautiful and appreciate my pregnant body, but at 27 weeks I look at myself and see a beached whale (sigh).
