As I said ...

By: JennaHatfield

As I said in the previous post, all three blogs will be participating in the MothersAct day on October 24th. I'll add a button to the two blogs in which I can do that (on our sidebars) now. As for the third, I'll do a post on Monday about MothersAct for the 24th to see if some other birth mothers will join in on their blogs on the 24th.

I hope to see others involved as well.

 Blog Day for the Mothers Act

I just had a beautiful baby in July. I am all for the cause. It's a fine line we walk those first few weeks. I know I had issues at first but thankfully I was able to overcome them. I am extremely happy today.
