What is in a name? Why do I get so attached? As I’ve talked with pregnant women lately about their name selection process, I’ve gotten present to how much I like McKenzie’s and Jake’s names. I think the names fit them so well. Really, I was puffing myself up about what a great job we…

Sunday was Father’s Day. The fathers in my life do a great job of appreciating their immediate and extended families. So much so, that the day – as I reflect back on it now – felt like more of a celebration of family than a tribute to the Dads. Did you like this? Share it:Tweet
Julie reflected over the events of the past couple of days. And boy were there some events to consider! She held in her arms a beautiful baby boy. Her baby was colicky, yet for the moment he was calm so she was going to consider and revel in what she had accomplished. She gave birth…
Lettie’s pregnancy – her third one – was a crazy ride. How so? In her words, “I had such a diversity of adversity.” Lettie was seeking out the care and doctor’s practice that would best fit her. She wanted a place that felt good and that would do a VBAC after 2 c-sections. She was…
