36 Weeks- The Guilt Factor
I've heard the story a million times, women who started to worry about their older children right before their new baby was born.

34 Weeks – 2nd Baby Shower
A week and a few days ago we were lucky enough to be thrown our second baby shower in a bar. Yes, classy. Actually it was a party room in a bar in which we invited all of our friends, male and female, demanded zero children attend, no presents be opened and no games be [...]
