MEAGAN FRANCISMeagan Francis is the mom of four sons
ages 11 and under, and her entire clan is very excited to welcome baby #5 into
the family sometime in March. When she's not kissing boo-boos, packing lunches
and trying to get in a yoga class here and there, Meagan writes for a variety of
magazines and websites like
Parenting, American Baby, Pregnancy, Natural Health,
Good Housekeeping and
Family.com.
She's the author of two parenting books: Table for Eight: raising a large family
in a small-family world, (Alpha/Penguin, 2007) a practical hands-on guide to
raising "larger than average" families; and
The Everything Health Guide to
Postpartum Care: A Complete Guide to Looking and Feeling Your Best After Delivery and Beyond (Adams Media), a comprehensive handbook to the physical and
emotional changes, challenges and joys new moms face. A self-confessed pregnancy
and childbirth junkie, Meagan is excited to share all those twinges, kicks and
stretch marks with her readers. She hopes you'll chime in and share your
pregnancy, too--both the highs and the lows.
