John David, 3 days old, in Mommy’s arms, in the comfort of his own room. So today is the 22nd, and he was born on the 19th. Does that make him three days old or 4?

She was so sweet as to introduce herself (turns out she lives only 3-4 houses down from me) and invite me over to sit with the other moms at the park. She said they gather there […]

Sometimes people ask me if I have trouble sleeping at night, being this far along. I can honestly say that just doing my job is so exhausting that sleep is something that comes super easily!
