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.

The Business of Baby

Friend of Forty Weeks (author, writer, Mommy) Pamela Paul brought her interest and insights on the business of baby to the New York Times business section today.  Pamela spends some time with another Friend of Forty Weeks, giggle founder, Ali Wing as well as other retailers and consumers around the country. The bottom line: the bottom line continues to get bigger and bolder with baby registry. As we know, and see over and over again, we are in a time of no apology spending around baby. And the products and services keep coming…

 

Pamela did an outstanding job (she always does) on capturing the essence of our baby-spending state of mind. And her well written piece gives a clear snap shot for all to consider. I am sure the response will be overwhelming (you know I live for these moments where people suddenly get indignant about where we are as a culture) – so I would stay tuned to her comments for the next few days, for sure!
