Posted by Kelly Voelker in October 12th 2009  

Is it a BOY? Or a GIRL? It might be one of the most anticipated announcements. When my cousin, Rachel, was pregnant for the first time a year ago, we were so excited to find out the baby’s gender. Everyone was making bets, checking the “signs,” (She’s carrying high, right? Is she craving sweets? How about [...]

Well She’s Here! You may have seen Love Bird featured in Wondrous Wednesday #89, or you may have seen me tweeting from the waiting room…
Starting from the moment I learned my DD was being moved during a possible version procedure (turning of a breech baby) into the O.R. for a C-section, I am learning what [...]

Posted by Heidi Parker in October 1st 2009  

I have to say, it is really starting to become  a reality that our Parker Party of 2 will soon be a Party of 3.  Beyond my growing belly, I recently had the chance to familiarize myself even more with all of the great baby products out there.  Graco attended the annual ABC Kids Expo® [...]

Top Baby Registry Picks

Posted by Heidi Parker in September 21st 2009  

I now completely understand how new parents are completely overwhelmed at the site of walking into a store like Babies “R” Us, and immediately going into panic attack mode with the thought of, “where do I begin?!” and “what is this stuff, anyway?”

When I first found out I was preggers, I was so excited to have an excuse to go out and buy new digs, maternity digs that is. However, I’ve been determined to keep wearing my ‘normal clothes’ as long as possible, but now at 19 weeks, it is becoming next to impossible. Then I started [...]

Facebook: A Laboring Mom’s Best Friend

Posted by Melissa Parlaman in August 17th 2009  

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.

The number one question I hear since I’ve announced the upcoming arrival of Itsy Bitsy Parker is, “How are you feeling?” Well, the answer is “gggrrreeeaaat!”
