Oh, health insurance. Why must you make everything so complicated? By the time I got pregnant, I thought I was pretty prepared for everything.

Vivid dreams are a side effect of pregnancy for which I wasn’t prepared. Most of the time, they’re wacky (like the other night when I dreamed that Michael Phelps towed my sinking cruise ship to shore, rescuing everyone on board). But last night, it was bittersweet. In the dream, it was fall. Crisp, cool air [...]
