Hi. I’m back. And I think a week of doing nothing but reading, eating, sleeping and sitting on the beach has turned my brain to mush because I’ve been utterly incapable of stringing enough words together to make a logical blog post. But I wanted to let you know that I’m back. And it was [...]

My birth story.
For my birthday today, I asked my mom if she would do me the honor of writing down my birth story. Over the past few months, I’ve been reading a lot of birth stories. I’ve just been drawn to them. Leigh over at Marvelous Kiddo has a wonderful collection of birth stories. In fact, it [...]
