Today was my post-partum visit with the OB. I had some mixed emotions going into the appointment, especially since the last time I was in that office was when we found out the terrible news about our little Andrew. When I sat in the waiting room to be called back, I was sort of in a daze. There were at least 3 women who looked to be very far along in their pregnancies, and part of me really wished … [Read more...]
