Here’s what happened today, part of an incredible sequence that helped me reach a huge breakthrough tonight.
The day was architected to be supportive of the transition of Mike’s 8-day vacation of full-time loving and playful availability to the kids (and me!) to returning to work. As we moved into the day, the flow just wasn’t [...]

I wrote this series of conception and pregnancy questions to support mothers experiencing loss and grieving. The responses help to create a “life story” around this being so that the mother has a fuller story around the pregnancy to move forward with.
This story can help to give form to something that’s generally seen and experienced [...]

Posting our incredible boy Declan’s birth story on his sixth birthday today, 8/5. When he was four months old, I typed up his birth story and pasted it on the back of the framed icon I used during labor that is now in his room.
Happy Birthday, sweetheart. Love you so much.

Dear Declan,

Every pregnancy is different. Every breech is different. Different breech positions. Different reasons for it.
In today’s birth culture, breech is often seen as something to correct. Some babies turn in response to the interventions that are introduced because that is precisely what they need for optimal position. Some don’t. Because that is exactly where [...]

Congratulations to Heidi Klum and Seal on their pregnancy. Heidi mentioned on the Ellen show recently that they plan to find out the gender of the child at the end of the month. She also said that she feels like this is “it” for children for them, that they may not plan to have more [...]
I hit a new level of “bottom” tonight, in a way that reminded me of Elizabeth Gilbert’s description of her darkest moments at the beginning of her book, Eat, Pray, Love. But it wasn’t the bad news I’d received that devastated me. It was the undeniable realization that, once again, and we’re talking a matter of [...]
