  • Day By Day Pregnancy Tip #7: Name Your Baby Carefully
    Posted on Monday, January 19th, 2009 in day by day pregnancy – Comments: (7)
    Warning: Some of you may not agree with me on this one. In fact, many of you may not. This post is more of an opinion piece than an informational piece. Most of my posts are written to give you facts and information since those two things help you manage life with a baby much more efficiently than my two cents can do.

    Grandparents often play an important role in caring for and teaching our children these days, yet there is very little out there aimed at helping them do this unique, fun, and sometimes challenging job.

When those days strike, it is good to have people who can support you close at hand: a spouse, a parent, a friend, a neighbor.But once in a while, you have a day where all the stars align against you: the baby throws up, the toddler spills, the tantrums start, the bill you thought was paid was not, the package you were waiting on did not come, the whole day’s schedule is thrown off by the wait for the missing package, your office calls with tons of questions, the washing machine breaks, the food you bought for dinner turns out to have spoiled, and no one is available to talk.
  • The Daily “To Do” List for Pregnancy
    Posted on Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 in featured – Comments: (4)
    The most comprehensive list you’ll ever read of things you should try to do everyday when pregnant. 1. Exercise. Daily. Really. Even if you only do some light stretching. Feel awful? Do it anyway. Your goal is to make the act of caring for your physical health and well being an ingrained habit that even illness and discomfort cannot shake. You will come to rely on this habit in the first three months after you have your baby.
