Warning: discussion of womanly birthin’ stuff which some may find unappealing. Don’t read if you can’t deal or otherwise prefer not to deal. Additionally, this ended up being one zillion words long because as a birthing enthusiast, I just have to tell the story in excruciating detail. I know fellow enthusiasts will appreciate it, but… Continue reading Frogette’s Birth Story
Part Five (The End!) Part Four Part Three Part Two Part One Every story needs an epilogue. Don’t you hate that about books and stuff? Don’t you live for the Dr. Drew reunion show with the Teen Mom people? Was the Amber Behind Bars special the highlight of your 2012? What do you know,… Continue reading Frogson’s Birth Story: Where Are They Now?

I should mention that immediately prior to that news, I spent probably an hour or more laboring in the shower. Everyone had to really talk me into this because the… Continue reading There Will Be Blood: Frogson’s Birth Story (Part 3)
Gah. Sorry to keep you hanging. For reals. I can’t speak for all newborns but Senór Frog is not wild about being anywhere other than on my boob/otherwise affixed to my person, so right now my life exists in the 4-7 minute blocks before he wakes up and wails because he realizes I momentarily placed… Continue reading There Will Be Blood: Frogson’s Birth Story (Part 2)
