This is too funny. As a military mama I have to say I like this, but my ergo and ring sling remain my all time favourite carriers. Did you have a favourite carrier?

I feel like any one in those last 3 months can relate. Remember if you want a doula for February or March I still have some dates.

These are great points to remember new mommies and daddies. My first was born right before the holiday season and the travel and festivities were exhausting, take care of yourself so you can take care of your baby.

December can be a busy month and it can be difficult to follow your instincts. Trust yourself, your baby, your family.

I'm really excited to be taking this class next week. While I am always happy to take lots of pictures for you, and have taken a few classes on basic photography, I am overjoyed to be able to learn from a master. Look out for a note about this on my service list in the new year!

I love this! I have taken all my girls to the polls with me, some in utero, but never while in labour! That's commitment to democracy lol

That's dedication.

This is a great little chart

Babies should be fed when they indicate hunger. Crying is a late indicator of hunger - breastfeeding is much easier for both mom and baby if mom is able to pick up on baby's earlier hunger cues. Common infant hunger cues include:...

This is very interesting. In my professional experience babies certainly like to start their arrival at night. I have always thought this corresponds to the fact we are mammals and want to deliver when we are safe, and relaxed and quiet. How about you? When did your labour start?

When moms in a recent study had one more hour to push, the C-section rate was cut in half.
