I love asking new moms how their labor and birth went. I also loved it when others asked for my story. Especially when it's your first, it's an unforgettable experience and most women remember every detail. I remember every nurse's face and their words. I remember what frustrated me and what helped. All this to say that I think the next one will be easier (I hope)!

My baby was born on a Monday morning and I remember thinking, “Mondays will always look brighter for me from now on.”

My child began daycare at 19 months old. For a long time I worked days and my husband worked nights to make things work. But after he got a new job with daytime hours, we began searching for a daycare.
