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.

Page six reports that Maggie Gyllenhall spent yesterday afternoon in the Meatpacking district shopping for gifts for boyfriend Peter Sarsgaard. I took a little time in the MPD myself yesterday afternoon – for a late lunch at Pastis with a much loved old friend (we have been hanging since I was 15!) and a quickie at Blow where Jackie totally gets it right. And per usual, I digress. Maggie ended up buying a bag for Peter to use as a diaper bag with daughter Ramona. I can not resist the urge to mention that what Peter really should be gifted is a Diaper Dude…for several good reasons – cool bag – for sure – but really, could line founder Chris Pagula look anymore like Jake Gyllenhall? So much so in fact, Chris will share stories of getting in to various hard to hit haunts based on the assumption that he is indeed Jake. We did test this theory back in January at BLT Burger, but there was no line and yeah we got a table (along with Lit Agent Alex) no problemo. Did I just digress again?!?! OK, OK – Maggie – get Peter a Diaper Dude. And to Chris and Skye and the girls from Tea and all the other West Coast industry people making the trek in for ENK – welcome!
