I was recently contacted by Heather Lerner about an event to support First Candle. First Candle's goal is to increase awareness and raise funds to support the fight against stillbirth. Heather, who herself lost her son Allan, was kind enough to share her story. Her journey of healing led her to create her own organization, Allan's Tree.

Baby is 1-week-old today! So I'm finally coming up for air. I'll keep it short, because, well you know, who has time to bathe when there's a newborn around, let alone blog.
I will spare you all the details of the horrendous delivery, but let it be known that "fast and furious" does not necessarily mean easy! This mama is still definitely in recovery phase, but looking at this adorable little face makes it all worth it.
Thanks for all the well wishes!
I'm going back to bed.

Hello Bloggers! Please help me in welcoming J. Fergie's newest addition to the Fergie household. Fergie and her Hubby welcomed baby number three into the world at 6:37 am this morning. Baby boy weighed in at 7 pounds, four onces. After three pushes and no epidural, Mommy and baby are doing well.
