Thoughts on Stretch Marks
I think pregnant bellies are beautiful and up until the last 2 months of my pregnancy I was the proud owner of cute baby bump. However, I think some time during the last two months Jude hit a major growth spurt and my skin couldn’t keep up. I applied all kinds of cocoa butter and…

So I think we did pretty well for our fist attempt at crib sleeping. Jude slept in his crib until about 2am when he got a bit fussy and Joe finally brought him in our room. When he laid Jude down next to me he was all cold. So I think one of our first…
