Battle of the Baby Washes

We tried to decipher the long words and lingo, weighing the costs with the bottle’s promises. After the blur of options, we reached for the nearest bottle […]

August 3, 2012 By Stephanie

For each of my three labors, I chose pain over pain medication. Each time, I was afraid. For my second and third babies, tears welled in my eyes as labor started because I knew the great agony that lie ahead…and yet I also knew the great reward. I held fast to the promise of a […]
