Packing It In

Ever since my 30th week of pregnancy (when my body decided to go crazy and send me to Labor and Delivery three times in a week), I’ve been thinking about my hospital bag. When I was pregnant with Madeline, my hospital bag was packed differently. I knew I’d be in the hospital for a long [...]

The One With All The Ultrasounds

November 25, 2009

Last week’s Binky checkup was so uneventful I didn’t even mention it. I was literally in and out in under 30 minutes, it might be a new record.
