The Dos and Don'ts of Small Talk with Pregnant Women.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates 2 Comments

Since getting pregnant, sharing the news with family, friends, and co-workers, and, now, looking quite pregnant – I’ve gotten my fair share of comments and well-meaning advice about pregnancy and parenthood. Sometimes it makes my day, other times…well, not so much. Many I found in a talk conference from the OBGYN in Celebration for theRead the whole post >>
