Guest Post: Impending Motherhood

Oct 20. 2010

While I may not have many friends in real life with babies, I have many online friends to whom I can turn for support, commiseration, and questions. Creature Gorgeous is just one of these friends, and we have developed quite a bond entering motherhood for the first time with our pregnancies just 8 weeks apart. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous (even at 8 months pregnant!) with one of those "basketball bump" bellies that all pregnant women long for, she is kind, oozes intelligence and charm, stylish, and a great blogger to boot. Here, she writes about her thoughts on her pregnancy and impending motherhood. Enjoy! Note: This post was written three weeks ago so the dates are a bit off. Creature...

Guest Post: Geeky Halloween Treats

Oct 20. 2010

Stephanie returns with the third and final installment to her Halloween series, and this time she focuses on a topic that would make anyone salivate: food! Enjoy! As with any real shindig, it's not a party until you are snackin' on something delicious. In light of that, here are some manageable and scrumptious treats for your Halloween party.

I repeat: Do what works best for you and your family. Books, articles, and internet forums are great sources of information and advice.

Because as soon as I decided to take my mother's advice and cut down on my marathon pumping sessions, I actually started producing MORE milk. Additionally, I was better-rested, less stressed, and gave my nipples a chance to heal. I gradually cut down my pumping sessions from every...

Guest Post: Comic-Con — The Real Deal

Oct 19. 2010

New York may have its own Comic-Con (which unfortunately coincided with a new baby this year), but nothing can compare to the original and the best: San Diego Comic-Con. J and I always said that we will make a trip out to the West Coast one year to partake in its magnificence, but now that we have a baby it might be quite some time before we can do so. Perhaps we can make it a family trip when our kids are a bit older? Fortunately, for the time being, I can live vicariously through other attendees like Jen who has offered to write a post on her Comic-Con experience. Enjoy!
