I love my children. I was very blessed to have three fairly large (for triplets), healthy (for preemies) babies, born at a gestation greater than most triplets. My pregnancy was (except for the obvious) mostly uneventful, and even though...
When I was pregnant, I had a nice little list of things I swore I would never do. On the top of that list: I will not let my kid take over my iPad. (You know, the one that got...
