My water broke on June 25th at 8:15 am. It started much the same as my son's birth in that I wasn't even sure it was my water breaking, but by afternoon it was very obvious that was the case. I was keeping in touch with the midwife on call at Mountain Midwifery Center ...
I was fortunate to have read Brooke Burke's new book, "The Naked Mom: A Modern Mom's Fearless Revelations, Savvy Advice, and Soulful Reflections" prior to it going on sale today. It's a quick and witty read. I would describe Brooke as "evolved" and "attentive." I'll explain why in a minute.
First, I wanted to share that I&nb...

I've officially crossed that line between simply knowing I'm pregnant vs totally, completely, feeling I'm pregnant with a fast growing baby inside me at every moment of every day. Wow that happened fast!
Starting for the first time last week, my baby is now squirming and kicking daily (which I must say is an incredibly odd sensation). I’m not yet used to the feeling of another body insi...
My first trimester passed with relative ease and grace. Once I accepted and confirmed I was pregnant (week 6), my body stopped resisting and I eased in to motherhood and all of the changes it was bringing. I never had morning sickness, never felt nauseous, and started delighting in my changing body. I did sleep – a lot – needing 3 hour naps per day and 10 hours of sle...
As much as my husband and I were looking forward to one day starting a family, we were both hesitant at the changes it would bring. We frankly loved traveling and being free to come and go, and neither of us had a burning desire to be parents. But let’s face it: I’m 36, he’s 39, and we knew we couldn’t wait forever - especially if we wanted multiple children. We had every excuse to wai...
