Babble

It's true - it's easier. Well, it was for me, though I'm sure it's not necessarily so for all women. Except for a few parts. Pushing lasted about thirty minutes, rather than close to three hours - and would've been faster if Jonas hadn't wedged his hand up against his head like...

A brief update: we're headed to the hospital this evening for an induction, scheduled for a handful of reasons that I won't go into, because I still need to do a few things - like pack my hosital bag. Soon, very soon, I will go from being a waddling, cranky pregnant lady to a hormonal, exhausted...

The day your child is born may not be THE best day of your life (because, really, what does that say about every day after that). But, hey, doesn't the birth of your child tend to overshadow everything else that happened around that time? Let's hope so for Casey Jennings. The pro volleyball player...

The story is full of bad breastfeeding puns (that, honestly cracked me up), but an interesting case came up in the Globe and Mail this weekend. A mom has made her breastfeeding schedule so rigorous that the ex-boyfriend who fathered their child has been essentially totally cut off from spending any time...

Parents who use Moses baskets, swear by them! Days with a newborn are much easier if you can move a sleeping baby around safely from room-to-room. You might even get a few things done!
