Tomorrow I head to London, England for a conference of neonatologists, pediatricians and fellow parents, to discuss the issues surrounding extremely premature infants. The trip promises to be intense and very informative and I’m sure I’ll have much to report when I return. I present a shot of my “Must Pack” pile.
Chewing gum, pounds, eye mask, hand sanitizer, passport, journal. Tonight there’s also a lovely pot of black bean soup on the stove, and some Top Chef in my queue for a bit of pre-travel nourishment and relaxation. Back later…

Bon Voyage! Say hi to the olde country for me! Wander around Notting Hill, my old neighborhood, if you get a chance. And do the market at Portobello Rd. on the weekend if you’re there long enough.

On a more trivial note…love black bean soup.

Posted 13 Nov 2009 at 8:03 pm ¶Someone just referred me to your blog and I really enjoyed reading it. Congratulations on your book award! What an accomplishment! I suppose one of my own blog readers thought you might be interested in my latest book, an update from an earlier version, might be one you are interested in as there is a section on Premature Babies. The book is called YOUR HIGH RISK PREGNANCY: A PRACTICAL AND SUPPORTIVE GUIDE (Hunter House, November 2009) Spread the word and keep writing!

Thank you so much for your very kind offer to share your book with our group over at Book Lust. I’m in the midst of reading it now and I’m learning so much. While my child was born with Ds, she was full-term and I feel like, as I am now part of this vast disability world, the more I can glean from the experiences of others, the better. I just feel this strong need to understand. What a difference a dx makes.
