Product Review - Epi-no Childbirth Trainer

January 28, 2009

I first head about the Epi-no (pro­duced by Stard­berg Med­ical) dur­ing one of my birthing classes.  The mid­wife showed it to the group, and most of the women in the class dis­missed as an unnec­es­sary expense.  I, on the other hand, was fas­ci­nated! The ‘child­birth trainer’ is basi­cally a vagi­nal dila­tor.  An inflat­able bal­loon is […]

Another baby carrier

January 10, 2009

I know I’ve men­tioned before how much I love my baby car­rier by Hope­diz, but for the past two weeks, I’ve upgraded, so to speak.  As my girl hit about 3.5 months, she wanted to see more while she was being car­ried, and her weight was increas­ing and putting a bit of strain on my […]

New Mom Product Review

December 19, 2008

Pregnant in Germany

October 17, 2008

Now that I am finally an “Inter­na­tional Mama,” and not just a soon-to-be-mama, I finally feel qual­i­fied to add my 2 cents to the blog! Our girl arrived almost five weeks ago and is already won­der­ing where her sausage and beer are (or at least, that’s how I inter­pret her cry­ing). Hav­ing never been pregnant […]

Pre-mom product

August 17, 2008

Since I haven’t had the chance to try any prod­ucts with the baby yet, I thought I would men­tion one prod­uct I have used in the preg­nancy that I love.  A friend rec­om­mended Clar­ins Huile Tonic early on.  It is 100% plant olis, and is sup­posed to help pre­vent stretch marks.  There is no science […]
