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.

It is all about the food!

This evening, Shawny and Yony (who have perfectly run every event I have ever pulled off!) – partners in The Sorelle group and I were the guest of one of my new favs – John Carns at Citronelle in the Latham Hotel in Georgetown. The joint was jumping, Michel Richard was in the house and the food was beyond! I did spy one woman reading and examining everything with a mini (and ridiculously bright) flashlight and sitting on a pillow (it was terribly distracting – ok maybe I am too easily distracted) but I have no real explanation for this. Anyway, while out to dinner and learning of LXR’s exciting plans for their two Washington, DC properities I got (about 25 emails) a Blackberry message from Stu Goffman who shared the news that Nestle was about to announce the purchase of Gerber from Novartis – supposedly to add a US infant food brand to their infant nutritionals (read as formula) heavy brand. From fancy French all the way down to baby food in seconds flat! You have got to be impressed!
