by Kristina Mulligan Motherhood has shaped me. It sounds cliché, I know, but beyond my wildest understanding, my desire to be a mother has paved my path in life. When I was a kid, as far back as I can remember, I wanted to be “mommy” when I grew up. I always had a pillow […]
by Debra Cassell My journey to pregnancy was a long and stressful path. I suffered multiple early miscarriages beginning at age 32. We went through all the evasive and painful fertility treatments available. After finally getting pregnant through IVF, I suddenly experienced HELLP Syndrome and was forced to have an emergency C-section at 26 weeks. He weighed 1 […]
by Kristina Mulligan Flynn, you are my extraordinary. A shining star in all ways, even trapped inside four walls. We spend a lot of time at home nowadays. We have lots of fun most of the time, but I know you miss your “people” and our walks around Target. I do, too. There have been […]
By Ali Dunn I “attended” a virtual happy hour the other day. It was nice to see people’s faces and have conversations with friends even if they were mostly about isolation and COVID-19. We were all sharing stories from our days, tales of working from home, schooling from home, and trying to create some semblance […]

By Kristina Mulligan When first introducing solid foods to a baby, it is expected that there will be hilarious, camera-worthy moments of spitting and silly faces, maybe a mess to clean up. When first trying purees with our son, there were tears and gagging, screaming and hyperventilating. As a new mom, I didn’t know what […]
By Tammy George Hannah was a high risk pregnancy due to my extensive scar tissue and history of preterm labor. However, much to our surprise, my pregnancy was going great with no issues at our many check ups. But at almost 28 weeks, my water broke in the evening, as I was sitting on the couch. […]

I remember the neonatologist coming into my room, but the rest is a little fuzzy. He gave percentages, talked about feeding tubes, and the NICU. He was very matter of fact and even somber with his tone. He emphasized that the longer I could keep my babies inside, the better the chances they had on […]
