What's In My Hospital Bag



I love crowdsourcing information from social media, especially nowadays. Any new mom knows that unsolicited advice is not really welcome here. But Lord knows, if we ask for it, you better give us the truth. The intimate details. The nitty gritty.

Traveling In The Third Trimester - What Worked, What Didn't.



I'm not an expert or a doctor, but I did a great deal of research before flying from North Carolina to Texas at 31 weeks pregnant. For most women, unless you have complications like preeclampsia, there isn't a reason why you couldn't fly before 35 weeks. In fact, some doctors will clear you to fly even later.  After this experience, I wouldn't want to fly any later - not because anything bad happened to me, but because airports are a pretty big source of stress, no matter who you are.

What's On My Baby Registry



I have not been one of those "by the book" pregnancies - mostly because I refuse to by the book at all. You know the one. The book that convinces you that every time you cough, it's a sign that your child somehow has early onset dementia. I didn't buy that book.
