I don't know what it is about moms that make them so hard to shop for—they either already own whatever it is you’re thinking about buying them or they just buy it themselves the minute you have a good idea (eye roll).
A little over a month ago I had emergency surgery to treat an ectopic pregnancy. It was scary and painful and unexpected and I am still recovering physically and emotionally.
When I was pregnant with my first baby, a friend cautioned me, “listen, right after birth you’re going to look like a deflated balloon and you'll think you’re doomed to look that way forever, but trust me: it isn’t permanent”.
