Book Review: Pregnancy Miracle
Internet History, With Thousands Of Satisfied (And Now Proud Mothers) Women In 127 Countries Worldwide?
Pregnancy Miracle is the #1 best selling infertility Cure ebook in the history of the Internet for a reason…
Thousands of women of almost every age have completely reversed any
infertility issues they had and got pregnant naturally, without drugs, risky surgery or “magic potions” simply by using the
clinically proven, scientifically-accurate step by step method found inside this amazing Pregnancy guidebook.
Lisa Olson, a certified nutritionist,
health consultant and author has not just pumped out yet another
“pregnancy program” into an already over-saturated market. Lisa’s
Pregnancy Miracle can be more accurately described as an “Pregnancy
Bible.” It is quite simply one of the most comprehensive, complete, and
precise guides to infertility freedom you will ever read.
What makes it so much different than other pregnancy publications on the
market?
Well first of all, it’s not
just a “infertility help”
program, it’s an infertility cure program. This may seem like semantics
or wordplay at first, but once you’ve read just the first chapters,
there
will be no doubt in your mind that pursuing “help with your pregnancy”
is not only the wrong goal, it may be the
reason that you’ve failed to get pregnant until now. Pregnancy Miracle
shows you exactly why you should fix
the internal problem that’s hindering your chances of getting pregnant
and then goes on to show you exactly how to do it.
Secondly, what
makes Pregnancy Miracle different is the amount of attention that is
paid to each and every element required to get pregnant the natural way.
Pregnancy Miracle not only thoroughly discusses the
lies, myths and fallacies surrounding a very confusing subject, it is
simply the most detailed book about pregnancy and
infertility, Chinese Medicine and holistic health ever written.
The Pregnancy Miracle book is quite extensive (250 pages of rock solid
content) which focuses on 100% natural method
for getting pregnant quickly. That means there aren’t recommendations
for harsh prescription drugs or surgeries with nasty side effects.
In Pregnancy Miracle core formula section (The 3 step system) – Nothing
is held back. In this section, Lisa gives a detailed overview of
each step, and then dives into the specifics in a perfect chronological
order. There are also outstanding charts and
checklists which make it very easy to know where you are at in the
program and follow it.
Because the Pregnancy Miracle program is not a quick fix ‘fairy tale’ cure but a complete holistic
solution aimed at eliminating the root cause of fertility problems(regardless of your age) and ensure your will
get pregnant quickly, it does take work and persistence to complete. “The dictionary is the only place success
comes before work” says Lisa, as she emphasizes the “no quick fix” philosophy behind the entire book.
If there is any drawback to the Pregnancy Miracle ebook, it’s that it contains so much information, that some readers may
find it a bit overwhelming. Those who are looking for a quick start type of pregnancy program, might be a bit intimated at
first. The good part however, is that even these types of readers can feel confident and assured that it will be worth the
effort because this will literally be the last book they ever have to buy on the subject.
Who will benefit most from Pregnancy Miracle?
In the broadest sense, anyone and everyone who wants to get
pregnant naturally and regain
their natural inner balance will benefit from Pregnancy Miracle. This
ebook is honestly for everyone. Even women without fertility issues.
This
is a total health rejuvenation program better than 98% of the nutrition
and alternative health books on the market. In fact,
the advice in this ebook is guaranteed to help you with any other health
condition you might have, especially if
you suffer from hormonal disorders, digestive problems, insulin related
disorders, allergies and acne.
In terms of graphic design, Pregnancy Miracle is a clean and professionally formatted PDF e-book. It is well organized and
ideal for printing and reading in the comfort of your own home.
This impressive and unique publication has changed many lives and the hundreds of inspiring testimonials and success stories
are found on the Pregnancy Miracle website archives as proof.
The Bottom line?
Anyone looking for a quick fix solution to getting pregnant, anyone looking to be told fairy-tales, and anyone looking for
a “magic bullet”, pills, over the counters, ‘get pregnant in 2 weeks’ hyped up programs should not waste his or her time
with Pregnancy Miracle.
On the
other
hand, anyone searching
for the truth about pregnancy, fertility issues and alternative health
and who is ready and willing to put in some work and make
the lifestyle changes necessary to get pregnant fast and give birth to
healthy children, will find Pregnancy Miracle to be one
of the best investments they ever made in their lives.

1 killed, pregnant woman and infant injured in crash on Texas-NM state line
LAS CRUCES – Three people were killed – including a woman and her newly born child – after a crash Wednesday morning at Westside Drive and Vinton Road, in southern Doña Ana County.
Officials identified the victims as Andrew Valenzuela, 22, of Anthony, N.M., his girlfriend, Karla Diaz, 22, and the child she delivered at a hospital in El Paso following the crash.
Kelly Jameson, spokeswoman for the Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Office, said Valenzuela apparently drove through a stop sign and hit a pickup.
Valenzuela’s body will be taken to the Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque for autopsy, said Jameson.
Diaz and a 2-year-old boy – both from Anthony, N.M. who were passengers in Valenzuela’s car – were taken by ambulance to an El Paso hospital. Diaz delivered a girl after the crash, Jameson said.
The boy suffered head injuries and is in critical condition.
Sheriff’s deputies said that the passengers in Valenzuela’s car were not wearing seat belts, and that a child safety seat in the back was not securely installed.
The crash occurred just before 10 a.m. The driver of the pickup tried to avoid Valenzuela’s car.
The crash sent Valenzuela’s car spinning into a field northwest of the intersection. The driver of the pickup, who is also from Anthony, N.M., was taken to a hospital with cuts to his face and released, Jameson said.

Know Your Madisonian: As a midwife, Tehmina Islam reaches out to minorities
Tehmina Islam, 27, is the first person of color to become a licensed midwife in Wisconsin. She started Access Midwifery in January out of her home on Madison’s East Side.
Her parents are from India. She was born in Texas and moved to Madison 18 years ago. Islam, one of seven independent midwives in Madison who attend home births, wants to make minority women more aware of midwifery services.
She typically does eight to 10 visits per pregnancy, including prenatal care, birth and postpartum care. The fee, generally not covered by insurance, ranges from $1,500 to $3,500.
Q: Why did you become a midwife?
A: I attended my first birth when I was 16. My childhood best friend was pregnant. Watching her in the hospital, I realized my skill set was best used with pregnant women and laboring women. I was really in shock at the disrespect she received in the hospital. She wasn’t always listened to and treated with kindness. It seemed really violent to have a woman prostrate, feet in stirrups, birthing her baby on her back, working against gravity. I learned about the model midwives practice under — informed choice and informed conversations, taking time to build a relationship.
Q: How did you become a midwife?
A: I majored in international studies at UW-Madison. My last year of college, I moved to Kenya to work on a maternal health program. When I moved back to the States (in 2006), Wisconsin had just started licensing midwives. I apprenticed with midwives in Milwaukee and Madison for four years and attended the National College of Midwifery for 2 1/2 years in Chicago. Last year, I sat for my national licensure exam and passed.
Q: Why do you recommend home births?
A: Women should have the option to birth where they feel safest. I wouldn’t recommend home births to everybody because not everybody feels safest at home. Studies have shown that home births and births attended by midwives have lower rates of C-sections, episiotomies, forceps deliveries and interventions in general without impacting maternal or infant mortality rates for low-risk women. Home birth is such a calm, gentle, empowering way to birth a child.
Q: How often do home births end up having to go to the hospital?
A: The midwives in the community have about a 10 to 15 percent transfer rate. Most of the time it’s for non-emergent reasons — a women gets stalled out at 8 centimeters after three days of labor or has maternal exhaustion. But there are times we transfer for emergency reasons and we call 911.
Q: How and why are you reaching out to communities of color?
A: It’s a bit of a tragedy that people of color have not been able to see a midwife who looks like them. I received a phone call a few weeks ago from a young African-American woman who said, “I saw your flyer and I called you because you look like I do.” I’ve been building bridges with organizations that serve low-income people, women of color.
The ABCs of whooping cough
Whooping cough causes a cough that can last several weeks. While it can be a mild illness in older children and adults, it can cause severe illness in infants and pregnant women. Infants are at highest risk for complications such as difficulty breathing, pneumonia, convulsions, and even death.
So its important to know how you should respond.
First, check with your health care provider to see if your whooping cough vaccination is current. Whooping cough vaccine is available, there is no shortage. Residents should not hesitate to be immunized by their health care provider or local pharmacies, if there is any doubt that their vaccination is current. For information about where to find pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine in Thurston County, go to www.co.thurston.wa.us/health.
People who should be immunized for whooping cough include:
Anyone who cares for, or has close contact with infants that are 12 months old or younger.
Pregnant women and those who care for, or have close contact with, pregnant women.
Children, who should receive pertussis vaccine as part of the regular schedule of recommended vaccines. Keeping your child up to date on all their vaccines remains important.
Adults whose last tetanus immunization was five or more years ago, because adult tetanus vaccines at that time did not usually include pertussis.
Adults who are unsure of their immunization status for whooping cough.
There is no pertussis-only vaccine. The vaccine for children as old as 7 is called Dtap (Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis); for older children and adults, the vaccine is called Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis). Immunity to whooping cough lessens over time, which is why teens and adults should have a booster vaccine even if they once had whooping cough or had all their childhood vaccines.
In addition to being vaccinated, there are other things you can do to stop the spread of whooping cough to infants. Stay away from infants and pregnant women when you are sick with a cough. If asked, wear a face mask that covers your mouth and nose when caring for infants.
Masks help because whooping cough is spread through face-to-face contact with someone who is sick with the disease. The disease goes from person to person through tiny drops of fluid from an infected persons nose or mouth. These drops may become airborne when the person sneezes or coughs. People can become infected by inhaling the drops or getting the drops on their hands and then touching their mouth or nose.
If you or someone in your family has a severe cough that causes vomiting or difficulty breathing, please call your health care provider. You cannot be sure if a cough is whooping cough without having a test done.
Someone who is diagnosed with whooping cough is usually treated with an antibiotic. It is important to take medicine prescribed as directed. It may not stop the coughing, but does keep you from spreading the disease after five days of treatment.
And always embrace these disease-fighting practices: cover your cough, stay home when you are sick, and wash your hands frequently.

Troubled by warfare, Lebanese director puts her views on film
BY CINDY PEARLMAN
May 17, 2012 12:49AM
Updated: May 17, 2012 12:50AM
Lebanese director Nadine Labaki had an especially fertile imagination while working on her most recent project.
“I learned I was pregnant with my first child when I was doing this movie,” she says. “I found you really want to share your point of view as a mother. I imagined my son at 18 or 19. What if he was tempted to take weapons?”
That’s the topic of “Where Do We Go Now?,” opening Friday at the Music Box and the Evanston CineArts 6.
It’s about a group of Lebanese women who try to ease religious tensions in their remote village between Christians and Muslims.
“The idea came to me in 2008 because of some unfortunate events happening in Lebanon between two opposing political parties. This went down in the streets and people were killing each other,” Labaki says.
“We lived through two decades of peace and I thought, ‘How can neighbors and friends who live in the same building become enemies because of political and religious differences.’ ”
She sighs. “You think, ‘What kind of world is this where anything is an excuse to start a war?’ Of course, there is tension. But haven’t we learned anything? How can we not learn? We have succeeded in living in peace for a while and can’t allow any absurdity to end that peace.”
Does she think it might take the strength of women to stop the madness? “I don’t care if it’s woman or man. I just want to be a strong human being. It so happens I’m a woman,” she says. “Every individual can make a change. If we start to believe in change, it will happen. Sadly, as people, we don’t believe in our power. How can anyone have impact if they don’t believe?”

Outrage Grows After Safeway Suspends Monterey Worker Who Stopped Attack
DEL REY OAKS, Monterey County (CBS 5) — Safeway’s suspension of a Monterey County employee after stopping a domestic assault has become a public relations headache for the grocery chain.
Police said Ryan Young, a meat clerk at the Del Rey Oaks location, intervened when he saw Quyen Van Tran beating his pregnant girlfriend in the store last month.
“If it was their wife who was pregnant or their daughter who was pregnant who was being attacked, would they want someone to step in and help them?” Young said.
Authorities, including the city’s police chief, praised Young for stopping the assault.
Young was suspended for supposedly violating company policy. He has no income while his wife is five months pregnant.
CBS 5 has received numerous e-mails, comments and Facebook messages from viewers, saying Young got a raw deal. Several have threatened to stop shopping at Safeway. One woman even offered to help Young financially.
The grocery chain released a statement to CBS affiliate KION on Wednesday. It said:
“Safeway is taking this matter seriously. We have store security video of the incident, and have been engaged in a careful and thoughtful forensic review of what transpired. There are two sides to every story, and we would ask that judgment be reserved. The matter is being handled through the union grievance procedure provided for in our labor agreement. We will be relying on the video and other relevant evidence as well as statements of eyewitnesses and other information to make a final decision. Beyond that, it is premature to comment on a personnel matter of this kind. The safety of our customers and employees is of paramount importance, and we appreciate the public’s patience as we give the issue the time and attention that it deserves.”
The Monterey County District Attorney’s Office also has a copy of the surveillance video.
Attorney Tom Worthington said the grocery chain and Young are in a difficult position.
“They can’t have a policy that just gives carte blanche to the employees to intervene anytime and anywhere that the employee thinks is suitable. But on the other hand, in my judgment, they shouldn’t have a policy that is so strict that the employee can’t do the right thing,” Worthington said.
Young is hoping Safeway does what he said is the right thing.
“I should be reinstated to my job,” Young said. “That’s how I feel.”

New lady-in-waiting seated to become 2012 Larimer County Fair queen, replace ousted royalty
LOVELAND – Larimer County will crown a fair queen this summer.
It won’t be Loveland resident Kaylin Schimpf or Fort Collins resident Kayla Myers — winners of the competition the last two years — because they were ousted from their positions in March during a dispute over fundraising and allegations of unqueenlike behavior.
Instead, Savannah Cay Martinez, a 20-year-old Colorado State University student will accept the crown and represent Larimer County in the coming year.
Martinez was the runner-up behind Myers in the 2011 contest to become lady-in-waiting. The Columbine High School graduate is studying equine science and education on a full-ride scholarship.
After Myers and Schimpf were removed from the program, Larimer County fair officials reached out to Martinez, and after interviews and discussions, she agreed to take on the title and its fundraising and community outreach activities.
Martinez will be crowned during the 2012 fair, at which time a lady-in-waiting will be chosen to serve with her then become the queen during the 2013 fair, upholding a 63-year tradition of Larimer County fair royalty.
This was the first ouster officials can remember in the history of the fair queen program, although one queen voluntarily stepped down after becoming pregnant.
Shimpf, this year’s queen, and Myers, her-lady-in waiting, dispute the allegations against them and say, instead, the fair board changed the fundraising and scholarship rules on them midstream.

Attention, mad moms of Manhattan: Rosie Pope’s back for second season of ‘Pregnant in Heels’
This week, Rosie Pope has two new babies.
The self-styled “maternity concierge” and star of Bravo’s “Pregnant in Heels ” isn’t only launching the second season of her show Tuesday (10 p.m.), she also just gave birth to her third child.
Vivienne Madison, Pope’s first daughter, was born Sunday.
“The boys just came and met their baby sister — what an amazing Mother’s Day, so full of miracles,” the proud mom tweeted Sunday.
But none of that means that Pope, whose job involves catering to some of New York’s most pampered moms, is about to take a break.
How could she, with clients like hers?
In this season, Pope, who started out as a designer of high-end maternity wear, deals with expectant mothers who want some extreme prenatal pampering.
She prepares her clients for parenthood, but it’s not just the nuts and bolts of having a baby that she deals with.
Some of the requests Pope fields this season include planning a home birth, complete with a placenta-eating plan, arranging coaching for a couple with a lagging sex life, setting up a seance to un-curse a haunted nursery and handling a mother looking to buy milk from a breast-milk bank. And that’s not even the worst of it.
“My current favorite crazy request is that I’ve been asked to help train a client for orgasmic birth,” Pope says. “To me the idea of going through labor and having orgasms so you don’t have to take painkillers is an extreme thing. At the moment, that takes first prize, but tomorrow I’m sure it’ll be something else.”
Despite the strange assignments, Pope says that beneath it all is good, old-fashioned nervousness about becoming a good parent.
“No matter how wealthy the clients or outlandish their requests, underneath it all everyone has the same anxiety: We all want to be the best parents we can be,” she says. “Being able to watch a very extreme portion of society go through that makes viewers feel more in control of their own lives.”
Another part of the viewer experience is taking cues from Pope’s clients.
“People are nervous and want to do the best they can do, so if somebody comes along and says you should eat your placenta, it’s quite remarkable that a lot of us will do it,” she says. “We’ll do crazy things for our kids, especially when we’re nervous. We take things to the extreme, but I do think that they’re still relatable.”
Whether Pope herself followed in any of her clients’ footsteps during her most recent pregnancy is quite another matter.
“Toward the end of the season, I do become my own client,” says Pope, who copped to a third-trimester addiction to chocolate-dipped, peanut butter-filled pretzels. “I definitely berate my clients for not being prepared, so you would think I’d be the ultimate prepared person, but not at all.”
And don’t expect her to take any of the downtime she usually prescribes to new moms.
“I wish I could take some time off, but I won’t be able to,” she says. “I’ll have a little baby strapped to me everywhere I go, but I’ll still be gallivanting around the city.”
THIS SEASON’S CRAZIEST CASES:
l An expectant mom is in the mood all the time, but her partner loses his mojo during pregnancy.
l A Brooklyn couple want to do a home birth and the wife plans to eat the placenta.
l A “haunted” nursery needs a seance to break the curse.
l A pregnant woman wants to buy milk from a breast-milk bank.

Lynn Seithel encourages Mothers of Children with Birth Defects to Seek Prescription Histories during Pregnancy Now
For most of the past two decades, several pharmaceutical companies have done very little to discourage women of child bearing age from taking anti-depressants and other harmful medications when they are planning to become pregnant and/or at risk for becoming pregnant.
Pregnancy is often not planned and often women are taking medications early in pregnancy when the unborn child’s heart, central nervous system and brain are in critical stages of development.
In the 1990s many women and doctors believed that anti-depressants like Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor, Prozac and Wellbutrin were safe to take during pregnancy.
The labels today contain warnings but several of the labels do not list the adverse events children whose mothers took anti-depressants during their pregnancies suffered from.
Despite the fact that the pharmaceutical companies are aware of the often serious, permanent, life threatening and/or life altering birth defects such as heart defects such as ventricular septal defects (VSD), atrial septal defects (ASD), transposition of the greater arteries (TGA), hypoplastic left heart, pulmonary stenosis, right aortic arch, vascular rings and others.
Other serious, permanent, life threatening and/or life altering birth defects that have been reported with anti-depressant use during the first trimester of pregnancy include neural tube defects, spina bifida, cranial defects, cleft lips, cleft palates and club feet in addition to limb reduction defects and primary pulmonary hypertension.
Parents and children with such defects whom I have represented have dramatically altered lives requiring substantial medical needs for their children and often extra expense.Because most of these pharmaceuticals that the mothers took during pregnancy have been on the market for so many years with little to no warning of the serious and devastating birth defects children have suffered in mothers who took anti-depressants and other dangerous pharmaceuticals during their pregnancy.
Finding the records to determine which drug mothers took is often a difficult task. Doctors frequently change anti-depressants due to differing reactions patients have and obtaining proof can be challenging.
Many pharmacies now claim to only keep records for seven years and in many cases much more time has passed. Treating physicians’ records are often destroyed and in some cases, I have represented families where the prescribing physician died and the records are nowhere to be found.
While most states allow some type of tolling for the statute of limitations during a child’s minority, by the time those children become adults, those records in many cases are or will be impossible to find.
As one of the pioneers in the Paxil birth defect litigation, I have experienced firsthand the difficulties of finding proof that mothers took Paxil and other medications during their pregnancy.“In the past several years, several once popular medications that many believed to carry little to no known risks during pregnancy – those medications now have different warnings in their labels.
The law firm, Seithel Law, LLC, represents a number of clients whose mothers took medications during their pregnancies — medications with changes to their labels in the past five years, including the medications Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor, Depakote, Topomax, Prozac and Wellbutrin.
There are some really bad birth defects children have suffered and their mothers have taken Paxil, Zoloft, Depakote, Topomax, Wellbutrin, Effexor and other medications during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Some of these medications were on the market for over a decade before their labels were strengthened and there are doctors and lawyers who do not believe the warnings are strong enough today.
Almost all of the women that I have represented would not have taken the medications like Paxil, Zoloft, Depakote, Topomax, Wellbutrin and Effexor during pregnancy if they had known there was an increased risk in their children developing serious, permanent life threatening and/or life altering birth defects.
Of course, now that there are some increased warnings, many of the records to show what women took during their pregnancies have disappeared.
Women and mothers with children who have serious birth defects such as cardiovascular birth defects, neural tube defects and cranial, facial or limb malformations should obtain their prescribing doctor records, obgyn records and pharmacy records now.
While the law may allow their children to bring their lawsuits when they become adults, the evidence they will need in order to recover needs to be obtained now, otherwise they may not have the proofs they need to bring their case.
Seithel Law, LLC specializes in helping people that has suffered from birth defects and other life altering conditions because of drugs that where taken during pregnancy. For a free consultation call Lynn Seithel toll free 1-800.818.5329.

Oh, Baby: What to Expect When You’re Expecting a Movie
Re: Cameron Diaz’s breasts.
It wasn’t exactly an average subject line, never mind an average subject — even for someone who spends a fair amount of time talking about breasts (swollen, tender, and otherwise pregnant or lactating, that is).
But there it was, sitting in my morning inbox, making a lot more sense than I ever could have expected. At least, once I opened it — an email sent by the producer and director of What To Expect When You’re Expecting, the movie, asking about how much Cameron’s character’s breasts might grow from their prepregnancy size by the beginning of her second trimester.
Talk about what I didn’t expect when I delivered the proposal for What to Expect When You’re Expecting — true story, two hours before I went into labor with Emma — a very young, very naive, and very clueless first time expectant mom determined to write a pregnancy guide that would help even a handful of other expectant parents sleep better at night than I had and my husband Erik had.
Fast (and I mean fast) forward 29 years later, and I was consulting on Cameron’s breast size, running checks on Elizabeth Banks’ pregnancy symptoms, advising on Ben Falcone’s Couvade Syndrome, checking out prosthetic bellies and ultrasound images.
Not exactly my day job (which, by the way, I love so much it makes me weak-kneed to think about it), but then again, helping What to Expect When You’re Expecting make the unlikely transformation from how to pregnancy guide with one character (you, the expectant parent) into a romantic comedy with an all-star cast of many, has been unexpected right from the start.
Most unexpected was that I said yes to the pitch from Phoenix Pictures in the first place (I had already said no to a Hollywood film several times before). Of course, me being me, it was a yes… but. Yes, but the movie would have to be true to the sensibility of What to Expect (warm, relatable, funny as appropriate, real as possible, sweet but not insipid, sensitive but not sappy). Yes, but it would have to capture as many stories as possible, so it reflected some of the different ways that couples become parents, but also the emotional connection, the fundamentally human and universal bond that parents share. Yes, but you will have to deal with one very protective mom… me.
A ridiculously short time later, Erik and I were executive producers on a major motion picture green-lit by Lionsgate, and we were watching a cast come together that was so insanely talented, so beautiful to look at, that we felt like kids in a candy shop who had just ended up with a huge bag of the really good stuff (not a sucker in the bunch).
Barely a month later, in August, we were sweltering in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park, laughing ourselves silly as Chris Rock led his merry band of bros (aka The Dudes Group) through take after take of side-splitting improv. Talking to the adorable Matthew Morrison about what it’s like to have a father who’s a midwife (really). Watching Jennifer Lopez calm a crying four-month-old like only a mama could, a crew of set designers turn an empty storefront into a fictional store for breastfeeding moms (The Breast Choice), Dennis Quaid and Ben Falcone race golf carts, and Elizabeth Banks rage against the unfairness of her hormones in a very public mega mommy meltdown. Hugging anyone who would hug back (and they all did). And yes, sitting by the side of a very pregnant extra who went into labor in — you can’t make this stuff up — the very last hours of filming (she’s now the mom of a beautiful 7-month old boy named Shay, who I get frequent fixes of on Facebook).
It’s now mid May, opening day is in less than a week, and in the midst of a movie media storm, I’m not going to lie… I am one nervous mama. I spend my nights doing my day job… and greedily catching up with my moms on Facebook and Twitter until Erik drags me (or if that fails, carries me) to bed. Nine months from when the day filming began, our newest baby will be delivered. Is it perfect? No baby, like no parent, is. Did the experience of making a movie, like making a baby, give me heartburn? At times. Am I happy? More than I could have ever expected.
