When I was pregnant with Andi, one of my favorite places to shop was Baby Company. Every time I was there, my eyes would light up in excitement! Baby clothes, shoes, strollers, carriers, cribs, toys, toiletries, sleeping gear, nursing accessories – you name it, they have it! I could stay there for hours, just browsing …
I read somewhere that only a small number of women – 5 percent, to be specific – actually give birth on their projected due date. I am now one of the rare 5 percent. On my 40th week of pregnancy, my exact due date, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. While most babies …
If there’s one thing I’ve learned so far about pregnancy, it’s that it’s full of surprises!

Bring on the pink coz we’re having a baby girl!!! After months of referring to our baby as ‘he or ‘she’ alternately just to be fair, we finally confirmed that we’re having our own Fluffy Space Princess. (That’s an Adventure Time reference!) No wonder I occasionally have some pink dessert pregnancy cravings. Cakes, doughnuts, cupcakes …
Actress Bangs Garcia and her Filipino-British husband Lloyd Birchmore revealed last month that they are having a baby girl, and I was fortunate enough to host her adorable baby shower and gender reveal party!
