You’re about to have a baby! Now what?

Let’s rewind to winter 2008. Me, my beach ball belly and my husband step into a big box baby store full of dreams of tiny yellow onesies.

In fact, studies show that ongoing sleep deficiency can raise our risk for some chronic health problems, and affect how well we react, work, learn, and get along with others.
