Deciding to close doors on childbearing, open windows of adoption

By Erin Stewart, Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 5:43 am MST

I’m staring at a box of maternity clothes tonight, wishing it would release me. It’s just pants and shirts made of polyester and cotton, but somehow their grip on me is tighter than iron. I don’t even like these clothes. … Continue reading»

Childbearing Completed

By Erin Stewart, Monday, March 19, 2012 at 6:00 am MST

Childbearing Completed. That’s what my OBGYN wrote in my medical file this week after we discussed my having more children. She wrote it in huge letters, underlined it and read it out loud to me twice. Then she punched me … Continue reading»

Skinny and pregnant?

By Erin Stewart, Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 10:21 am MST

When I was 8 months pregnant with my first child, my husband frequently took me to the Chuck-a-Rama all-you-can-eat buffet. He thought it was hilarious how much I could eat, and I was in heaven. Chocolate pudding on the same … Continue reading»

Pregnancy: Take two

By Erin Stewart, Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 5:22 am MST

It’s an immutable law of nature that when you get a group of pregnant women together, the conversation will quickly turn to nothing but morning sickness woes, delivery horror stories and way-too-detailed discussions of body parts. I was reminded of … Continue reading»

Hysterical pregnant women

By Erin Stewart, Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 10:50 am MST

I cried over a Slurpee this week. And just like that, I sealed the impression in my husband’s mind that I am, indeed, a hysterical pregnant woman. I had been watching a TV show that showed several high school students … Continue reading»

Pregnancy health concerns

By Erin Stewart, Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 8:55 am MST

It’s difficult to explain why my husband and I decided to have another baby. For many people, it seems reckless. Others seem to understand the power of the maternal urge. After our first daughter was born almost three years ago, … Continue reading»

Miscarriage mourning

By Erin Stewart, Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 8:05 am MST

I had a miscarriage two weeks ago. That’s one of those sentences that doesn’t seem real until you actually say it. Kind of like when you tell people you are pregnant and the words sound surprisingly delicious as they roll … Continue reading»

Morning sickness

By Erin Stewart, Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 6:22 am MST

A friend of mine is pregnant and in the middle of the horror that is morning sickness. That name by the way is the biggest lie every told. It’s never limited to the morning, and sickness doesn’t even begin to … Continue reading»

About Me

I am a mother of two daughters: Nicole is almost 5 and Anne is 19 months. Every Tuesday I write the Just4Moms blog to discuss everything about my life as a mom — from stretch marks to the latest news for moms. I usually write while the kids or napping or doing swan dives off the back of the couch.

Three things I have learned about myself as a mother:

1. I am not perfect.
2. I will never be perfect.
3. Nobody else is either.

Happy reading -- and mothering!
