Taking time to cherish
It was about a week before I realized that Scotland was loosing his hair on the top of his head. (P.S. It’s already growing back in nicely.) I was sitting there nursing him and suddenly thought, “Wait! Didn’t he have thick hair on top too?!” A quick reference to an early picture affirmed my memory.…

Happy 1 Month Birthday!
Where did the month go? I am absolutely stunned that four weeks have passed already. Wow! Meanwhile, this little guy has completely consumed my life, but no worries, I’ve been happy to hand it over to him.

The help
The great thing about any life experience is that it helps you relate with others. I couldn’t agree more with Vicki Iovine’s opinion in “The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy” that motherhood is a sorority and labor is the ultimate hazing. Until experiencing it, I had little understanding for the help needed after pregnancy. My mother…
