This is my new favorite photo of me and the boy.
I love that the photo was taken on November 1 and that we are both dressed like it’s August. I love the natural light that creates soft shadows to frame our faces. I love the adoring look we are both shooting off frame - a [...]
I just dropped a bottle filled with about 3 ounces of breastmilk.
- I will pause so that any breastfeeding mothers out there can catch their collective breaths -
I spilled the milk onto the counter and a dirty dishtowel. After my heart started back up I thought about how I could just squeeze the milk back [...]
Son, I know I owe you your Five Month Letter… but, it’s tough to look back on the past month when you are hitting milestones left and right! I promise - I will get to it soon. Until then here’s what’s new!
Marc set up the highchair last night and the kid totally dug it. We [...]
What’s better than hiring a babysitter so that you can take your husband out for a nice meal? Being able to take your husband AND son out!
We all headed downtown for a little window shopping on 2nd street and thought we might grab dinner as well, if the boy could hang. We ended up dining [...]
Holy F@#^ing S#!^! (I’m sorry dad, but, this epiphany deserves some expletives.)
Fenugreek!
and the heavens smiled, birds sang and babies slept soundly with full bellies.
Why on earth did it take me four months to add this almighty new drug to my post-pregnancy regimen? How is it possible that for four months I have doubled my wrinkle [...]
A gin and tonic costs $15
You are served an amuse-bouche. If you choose not to consume the amuse-bouche because you don’t eat goat cheese - or any cheese for that matter - they replace it with a cheeseless alternative.
When you go the restroom the staff re-fold your napkin. If while at the restroom your food [...]
The kid doubled his birth weight a week ago - at 2 1/2 months - which I believe was a little early comparatively. He has averaged a 1.5 ounce weight gain per day - according to the internet, babies will gain .5 - 1 ounce per day for the first six months. He only eats [...]
Hallelujah! We have left the house with a baby, gone into a dining establishment, purchased food, eaten said food inconspicuously enough that we will be able to return - TWICE in one weekend!
I am pleased to record that the kid experienced his first dim sum as well as his second Mexican dinner outside of the [...]
There is a debate - well, can you call a bunch of internet chatter a debate? - about wine drinking during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are the close-minded-know-it-all-old-school-folks and then there are people who I choose to listen to. During the second and third trimesters of Harrison’s life in-womb I enjoyed probably a glass of [...]
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 [...]
