Raising Children to Weather the Storm
We are all guilty of comparing our kids, but is that really such a bad thing? It all started during my pregnancy. I took a mental note of every little milestone during each pregnancy. From the moment I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, I documented my journey toward becoming a first time…
Every day I wake up thinking, this has got to be the day. I’ll be 40 weeks tomorrow, and I can’t believe we’ve made it this far. I’d get contractions off and on throughout the day. Then, nothing happens. The other night I started to feel my uterus tighten almost every minute for about 15…
