Saturday was picture-perfect. My little girl and I went for a nice, long walk, grabbed a coffee, visited a craft show, played at the park, and stopped by the library — all before Dad got home from work and took us out for supper. It was one of those days that you wish you could put

This week, we are especially thankful for Grandmas. On Tuesday morning, we got the call—our little one had spiked a fever of 102. With both of us facing busy weeks at work, we weren’t quite sure how we’d manage time off. We were able to split the first day, each taking turns to get some

I had high expectations of how I wanted to feed my baby before giving birth. As a healthcare worker, I know the benefits of breast milk vs formula, not to mention the financial benefits. I had heard about the wonderful bond that breast feeding creates with mom and baby and how much pressure society and

You know the typical movie scene when first time parents bring their baby home for the first time and they look at each other and are both like “now what?”, that was us. Since our daughter got sent to the Children’s Hospital and I spent the first two nights away from her, we really didn’t

On February 25th of 2024, I was scheduled to go to the hospital for an induction. I was 39 weeks and 6 days pregnant with our baby girl. This was our first, so we didn’t really know what to expect. We have had an uncomplicated pregnancy thus far and everything was measuring right on track.
