Last night - 3am we woke to the sound of a baby screaming through the monitor. We had both just gotten back to sleep after the kid’s mid-night feeding at 2am, so we were a little discombobulated, because of the time, but, also because the voice on the other end of the monitor was unfamiliar. [...]
Dear Harrison,
Hey kid! Welcome to the world! You made it! So, this is life. You’ll dig it here, as soon as you can - you know - see things and hold your head up to look around. It’s filled with all kinds of great things like fresh cut grass, music, bike rides, sandboxes and food! [...]
The kid is a month old, which means that things should be coming into focus now. He should be able to track toys with his eyes and smiles - real, honest to goodness, from the bottom of his little heart smiles - actual signs of affection may soon make an appearance.
I am eagerly anticipating that [...]
We’ve been hearing a lot of opinions about who the kid looks like. Marc and I haven’t even gone there because to us he is a totally new person and he looks like himself. But, my mom just sent over some photos of me when I was a tiny human and I am happy to [...]
Three nights out in less than a month, one would think we didn’t even like the kid. But, while we have the opportunity we may as well take it. Sunday night we found ourselves with ready-willing-and-able babysitters and $20 in gift certificates to Uchi (when we tried to go last week and were late, I [...]
I’m convinced that Marc’s parents have no interest in us anymore. As long as that kid is around we may as well be some very distant relative whom you tolerate a brief conversation with at family functions on your way to seconds of potato salad. This transfer of attention, however, does come with its [...]
My large maternity shorts are about to fall off me! This is exciting, because when I bought these in March they were a bit too large, but, I was desperate for something else to wear and desperate to NOT go back the mall. But, toward the end of the pregnancy they fit. Snugly.
I am still [...]
Yesterday was a great day. It started out with that great nights sleep, followed by a morning of cooing cuteness with grandma & grandpa, followed by an afternoon bath, followed by an evening out with margaritas!
Armed with two bottles for the kid - we headed out for Mexican food. And did I mention that there [...]
It is difficult for me to understand how I can forget hours and hours of fussing which leads to brain hemorrhaging, the pulling out of hair, and a level of frustration not felt by me since I was the one throwing the tantrums. But, one good nights sleep is like a wave of a magic [...]
With the grandparents here last week, Marc and I went on our first date since the kid was born!
Yes, I got a blister from wearing those shoes - but, it was totally worth it.
Technically I consider it our first date in nine months - I don’t consider a meal a meal unless it includes wine [...]
