heart disease I prayed for a child - and got one sooner than I expected. After all, my husband and I had really only "tried" for one month before I needed to take a pregnancy test. I crept into the bathroom, fully expecting to see a negative symbol glaring back at me, spotted the positive sign, and froze. I was pregnant.

Five months later, the car pulsed with excitement on our drive to the medical center to have the anatomy sonogram done on our fetus. The technician began the exam, but her abrupt stop startled me and ripped me from my innocence. "There's a problem," she said calmly. She walked out of the room with our happiness crushing under each step she took. I instinctively grabbed my belly and turned toward John, my husband.

A few minutes and a lifetime later, a doctor entered and resumed the exam with intensity and purpose. My chest was tight. My breath held. My brain finally started to process the situation very slowly: there-is-something-wrong-with-the-baby. Each part of that thought

10 Reasons To Love Tummy Time!

Put Little L on her tummy and she starts to grunt, swing her arms, hold up her head then finally lets out a WAIL! I immediately turn her back over and call it a day. Despite being a second-time mama, there are things I didn't particularly master the first time around - this clearly being one of them. When I was at the pediatrician two weeks ago, she reminded me to give her plenty of "tummy time" and teach her how to love it. I said, "Oh she doesn't like it" but the doctor assured me it was good for their development and that is a learned habit.

I did skin-on-skin from the second she was born, but haven't since her first month. Now we are back to tummy time here at the very busy casa - even my four year old says "Mami, don't forget to give Little L tummy time!"

Here are 10 reasons to love tummy time with Baby!

1. Start Early And Start Slow!

Keep the skin-on-skin tummy time going beyond the first few weeks (not like I did) and it becomes a comfortable and learned habit. If youRead More »from 10 Reasons to Love Tummy Time!

Me, as a first time mom 8 years ago on my first Mother's DayI went on a little vacation with a couple of girlfriends and our families recently. We've been friends for almost 15 years and while I was the first to enter motherhood over 8 years ago (and 3 kids later!), my two girlfriends are still new to the gig, having just become moms less than 3 years ago, and both with only 1 child. While we experienced moms always have a thing or two to learn as our first borns get older and enter new stages, when it comes to babies, we tend to feel pretty competent and think we know all there is to know (at least I do). Well I was reminded once again, that us experienced moms could always learn a thing or two from fellow moms, and especially from first time moms. Here's why.

Kristen Bell on Her New Baby!

The actress told Ellen about naming her daughter Lincoln (which was her husband Dax's choice), why they have chosen not to share photos of her, and how she thinks she rates in comparison to a sloth!

Hollywood A thousand lifetimes ago, I was an actor. It was kind of a family tradition. My grandmother was an actor, my aunt was an actor, my grandfather did some vaudeville, my mom and dad met doing a student musical in grad school. Theatre is a huge part of my upbringing and it was a natural pursuit for me. I did plays in youth group and in high school, then I majored in theatre in college. After that, I spent a few years doing children's theatre, working crappy day jobs, and auditioning for a lot of roles that always went to this incredibly talented actress in DC named Mikala. I have nothing but fond memories of my theatre days. It was fulfilling as a job and as a hobby. Someday, when I have more time and more energy, I'd like to start doing amateur theatre again, just for fun. I have every intention of teaching my kids about the magic of live theatre, both as audience members and, if they want, as performers or technicians. You learn wonderful things in a play: teamwork, respect for others,

Photos From Kim's Baby Shower You know what they say: It's hard to find a good party planner, especially one you can work with for every type of occasion. Luckily for Kim Kardashian, her family has found a saving grace in Sharon Sacks, a renowned event planner and friend of Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner. Aside from the lavish baby shower Sacks planned for Kim that happened yesterday in Beverly Hills, she is also responsible Khloé Kardashian's wedding to NBA player Lamar Odom (which she threw together in 12 days), and most notably Kim's second wedding to ex-husband Kris Humphries.

The infamous and controversial 72-day union was slammed in the press-but the glitzy nuptials were certainly as chic as can be. Sacks clearly has no regrets about being attached to the project, even referring to it as "Hollywood's wedding of the century" on her website.

Hopefully, Kim's baby shower,

What I really do with my time

Each of us makes our own choices for how we will mother and what is best for our children and our families as a whole. For our family, we have chosen to have one stay-at-home parent, and that's me. I care for the needs of our family and home during the day and do my writing work at night, after my littles are in bed. It's working well for us, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to have this choice for our family. It's not always easy, but it is always worth it.

When I was a kid, I remember thinking that being a stay at home mom couldn't possibly that hard. Didn't moms just get to read magazines and tell their kids what to do all day? Judging by my stack of magazines, many months high, that I've yet to even glance at, the answer is no. Fellow stay at home moms, this one's for you and the hard work you do. Here's a little glance at where all my time goes. Where does yours go? Is it dinnertime before you realize it? Every day I wonder, "Where did the day go?"
