When you're sleep deprived, no one cares.In those first few bleary-eyed weeks of having a new baby in the house, I always feel compelled to tell people how many times I was up in the night with the shrieking child, how few hours of sleep I managed to snag, how my older child still isn't sleeping … [Read more...]
A Little More Me
One of the things I miss most while bring pregnant is shopping for clothes. I love fashion but for the past seven months have been wearing schlumpy maternity pants and loud, printed muumuus. I peruse the J. Crew catalogue, dreaming of all the beautiful outfits I'd love to buy once I've had the baby … [Read more...]
HypnoBirthing: Fact or Fiction?

This is the first for my little sis and her lovely husband. I can't wait for my children to have a baby … [Read more...]

Old Friends, New Fun
Last week was action-packed – filled with visits from old friends, and trips to the doctor. I had my post-partum check-up with my obstetrician, Dr. B. He delivered my three children, and gave me the most compassionate and skilled care I could ever imagine. I associate him with the … [Read more...]
What would you watch to dull the pain of labour?
Well, as you have probably assumed by my absence here over the last week, our newest little one arrived on Saturday a week & a half early. Luckily, my Mom had arrived a few days early because of my wonderful late pregnancy issues. She was due to arrive that afternoon around … [Read more...]
