My Friendship with Jessica Wolstenholm was forged through our individual journeys to complete our families. Her struggle included infertility and multiple miscarriages, mine was a roller coaster adoption process. As her friend and OB/GYN, once she did conceive, I was a quick phone call away when the anxieties of pregnancy would pop up. Shortly after she delivered, she approached me with the idea of writing a faith based guide to pregnancy: she would write as the patient, I would write as the doctor. It took me a while to warm up to the idea, but Jessica can be very convincing. Eventually I agreed to go along with writing a proposal, not really thinking anything would ever come of it. However, the awesome folks at Leafwood Publishing believed in our vision and published The Pregnancy Companion in February of 2011. The feedback we got from our readers was so encouraging, that in April of 2013 we released The Baby Companion, with guidance for baby’s first year of life.
