It was just such a miracle. From the very beginning you've been a fighter. Even through sleepless nights you knew just what…

I talk a lot about how much Ricky loves Lucy. And by that I mean my baby loves my dog like nothing else.

This salad not only travels well, it stays fresh in the fridge for a couple of days so you can make it ahead of time. You can also add different veggies to the salad (diced carrots, jalapeños, radishes), depending on what’s in season.…

Dad if you plan on staying at the hospital after your baby is born, you will need to pack a bag for your stay so that you don’t have to run back and forth from the hospital.  Of course, if you forget anything you have the luxury of going back home and grabbing items that you forgot (including items that your wife or significant other might have forgotten).  The laboring…
