With my first baby, I read everything under the sun. With my second, I narrowed the list to my top 5 books to read during pregnancy to prep for birth and those early months of parenting a newborn.

**Darcy is in the home stretch now!** That seems like a silly question, doesn’t it?  I mean, I have a hard time believing someone doesn’t know they are pregnant until the moment they give birth on the toilet, so how the heck could I forget that I am indeed eight months pregnant. Maybe forget isn’t the …

It’s almost hard to believe it, but my due date is only 12 weeks away. Seems like only yesterday we were biding our time until we were 12 weeks along before being very public with our impending arrival. Oh and it’s a boy! An ultrasound last week with a different tech and a better view …

My hopeful VBAC ended in uterine and bladder rupture. Thankfully, my baby and I survived this crazy and trying day. Here is the story of Calvin’s birth.
