TALK TO JULIA

The Back Labor Blog

Forty Weeks Founder Julia Beck takes you behind the velvet ropes in the brave new world of Bump and Baby. Pregnancy trends, media coverage of parenting, research and recent findings, celebrity pregnancy and baby, the business that keeps it all in motion are among the topics that Julia covers in her signature candid and open style.

I have no idea what Webster's says about it – but Julia says: Back Labor is the ultimate pain on the way to the most delicious reward! Back labor hurts like a bitch, but it's all worth it in the end. And that about sums up our "lives behind the velvet ropes" here at Forty Weeks. We invite you into our Labor Room – via the Forty Weeks' Back Labor Blog. Read about how we do what we do, and follow along our labor of love that really pays off for our clients, and hear a little about the juicy behind-the-scenes bits, too!

And Forty Weeks wouldn't be who we are without the people – our dedicated crew and the BFFs of Forty Weeks and, of course – you too! We love to hear your comments, so please join in the conversation.

Weeds and Speed

So for those of you who may have missed it I adore Weeds…the show is my idea of 30 minutes well spent. It is best viewed with my friend Laura who turned me onto it in the first place, but I am happy to take it in alone. Weeds is sheer perfection, a luxurious and guilty pleasure that I simply can’t and won’t miss (thank you DVR). No to mention the cast is led by my future BFF Mary Louise Parker…major beautiful thinking chic and seriously my vote for no holds barred, super realistic mom role model. There have been some Forty Weeks references including a scene where the Pump n Style is, per Nancy – the gold standard in nursing gear. Mostly – the show does not make its way into Forty Weeks turf. So, last night I was AMAZED to see my client Graco included in scenes for next week. It looks to be a park bench negotiation between Hailia the reigning pot dealer and Nancy the new kid on the block dealer – and Graco is right there, front and center in their little talk – you have got to love it….well I did.

And now about the speed – TODAY IS MOVING FAST….I got a call from Shaye (read back to see how much we totally dig her) looking for me to come up and do a segment for CBS….so yes, yes I can, I will – call Amtrak, pack a bag, get my hair blown out, recruit some beautiful pregnant friends and friends of friends to model and send orders ahead to steam out the Isabella Oliver for a great fall segment on layering. It will be great to tape with Shaye and I love the opportunity to see how chic and feminine pregnant women look in these clothes….speaking of Isabella Oliver – I just got a sneak peak of Spring and it is magnificent…and that is all I can say (today)….
