Pregnancy Journal: Need to Know
From 5 Minutes for Parenting By Kelly I haven’t confirmed this scientifically, but I’m convinced there are two kinds of people in this world: Those who can wait until the birth of their baby to find out the sex, and those who must know the minute it’s physically possible.

Stranger in a Strange Land

Worried Birds
By Beck It was a snow day yesterday, which meant that my oldest child was home from school and that I declared a house-wide break from all schoolwork and THIS meant that I spent all day listening to my kids fight and by the end of the day I was making mental lists of other…
Pregnancy Journal: The Box
