When we first started trying to get pregnant, I went to Third Place Books to buy a pregnancy book. They had a pretty scant selection, but I wanted a book, so I chose the best of the lot: an old edition of Your Pregnancy Week-By-Week. The cover was so repellent (and the “trying” so secret) […]

Damn LiveJournal for eating the longer version of this post! Now, I only feel like posting the basics: 1.
