My baby’s first day of daycare was a completely different experience the second time around. For my first born, PP, she had family care for her, an in-home nanny, then finally daycare. By the time we started PP in daycare, she was 10 months old and at the peak of her separation anxiety. Needless to [...]
When you are on maternity leave, you spend all of your time taking care of your new little one. I spent countless hours holding, feeding, bathing, changing, kissing, and loving my little “Pinkie Pie.” (Big sister, PP, named her little sis Pinkie Pie in honor of her favorite My Little Pony.)

Over three years ago, when I gave birth to PP, I was not as “social media savvy” as I am now. I also lived back in my home state so it was easy to keep in touch with my family and friends without the assistance of social technology.

When I was pregnant with PP, my whole world was my pregnancy. Everyone warned me that with #2, you just don’t have the time to concentrate & reflect on the pregnancy. I vowed that would NOT be the case when I got pregnant with my second child. Well…it happened. So, when I realized it, I [...]

As a pregnant woman, I frequently get asked the question, “how are you feeling?” I usually respond with “I feel great!” Having my first pregnancy to compare it to, I reallydo feel great. I am not any more tired than I was when I was pregnant with PP. I had some complications with my first [...]

Well, it has been a long 20 weeks waiting to find out what I’m having. I have been so certain that I was having a little boy.
