28 Apr 2012Throughout my pregnancy, I had 3 different EDD: 12/4, 16/4 and lastly at 34wks it was 6/4. Whenever I’m asked about my due date, I would nonchalantly answer mid April because I knew all these dates were only an estimation. Secretly I looked forward to an Easter baby (8/4) or perhaps the perfect birthday present [...]

In: 3rd Trimester|Little Benjac Too|Mother To Be|Thanksgiving
6 Apr 2012For months I’ve been listening to Marie Mongan’s Birth Affirmation.

Pregnancy Goodness: Iron.
30 Mar 2012What is it? Iron is a mineral that makes hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout our body. Why is it important? Our blood increases 50% when we are pregnant. So we need more iron to make more hemoglobin for all the extra blood to carry oxygen. We also need extra [...]
