He even got a special ribbon for his “pulling paddle,” which he wa ..read more

Read on to learn more about a new resource that was just launched today to help women navigate IBD and pregnancy. Until my early 30s, I wasn’t really a “kid person.” I never really played with dolls as a kid. I didn’t babysit younger siblings or cousins.

We got married kind of young (we were the first of our friends ..read more
