In 2009, after I had been dealt quite the blow with my premature ovarian failure diagnosis, Larry and I were left with lots of questions and few answers. We were in luck (as lucky as you can be with infertility) when I found out about the RESOLVE New England Annual Fertility … Read More »
Grieving, Breathing
This is one of those posts I just need to write. I debated about writing this at my other blog, but decided I wanted this post to live here. Today (Tuesday) has been flanked by death and beauty. Tonight, I hover in that liminal space in between the two, not quite limbo, … Read More »
No, it wasn’t just you.
"If you haven't already heard and you'll allow me to dish some gossip this morning," local radio personality Bob Oakes began, "the Royal Family has confirmed that the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is pregnant with her second child." And just like that, my local NPR … Read More »

The Best New Mom Advice I Had to Give in 2013
I can't believe in just a few days, 2013 will fade away into a brand new year. I feel like since May (and more specifically, since Judah's arrival), it's been full steam ahead here in the Team Zoll household! As new parents, Larry and I have learned a lot over the last 7.5 months … Read More »

Having Some Things, Some of the Time
It's kind of like "having it all." As a WAMH, I've been told that I'm living the dream: I work at home, I take care of my child - no need for daycare. No need to pump during lunch breaks because I can just pick up Judah from his lounger or swing and feed him on-demand (and boy … Read More »
