In twelve hours my sweet little baby will be exactly two weeks old. I cannot believe this much time has passed already.
Today was the first day I’ve felt a little stir-crazy. It’s probably because the baby and I stayed in bed until 2:30 this afternoon. She was up most of the night so we get [...]

So. I failed. Kind of. I did my best to post everyday this month and failed. So here’s what I would’ve said for the past few days:
Our baby is amazing. She sleeps well, eats REALLY well (I was anxious about breastfeeding), interacts well with people, likes noise and action and her siblings.
I feel good. I’m [...]

When I look back at the past 36 hours I sincerely cannot believe what has happened. From 150 Facebook posts and messages to the flood of visitors to the sweet alone time we’ve snuck in as a family…it has been a whirlwind. And it is not over yet although I’ve insisted on some rest for [...]

She’s here. Nola Imogene. 8.2 pounds, 20 inches long, and a nice head full of hair.
At noon sharp our beautiful baby girl arrived through a water birth under the watchful eyes of our amazing midwives and my absolutely wonderful parents.
I am amazed, empowered, in love and exhausted…so the full birth story will come another day.
She [...]

Last Weekend-As-Just-the-Four-of-Us Highlights:
Dinner at Logan’s Saturday night…steak and potatoes did this preggo good. I’m trying to carb-and-protein up to get ready for the birth, when a lot of energy will be required!
Running into Kait at Bridge Street on our way to Orange Tree (that’s TWO highlights in one). Kait is nothing but a big ball [...]

Last night we went to Rosie’s to celebrate Jake’s Big Birthday. I wasn’t going to go since I had a rough afternoon yesterday, but after an evening nap and some stretching I felt better and decided this would be the last time in a long time that I could just GO. Jeff had to shoot [...]

Last night K announced to me that the baby is late because it is a boy. This is a huge development in her world, since she’s been on Team Pink ever since we got pregnant.
I asked what made her reach this decision and she said that he’s “still growing his penis”. Now usually K would [...]

We’re trying something new at the White house.
C and K (ages 9 and 5) are phenomenal kids. They are smart, entertaining, and learning. So we’re trying something new to show them the importance of responsibility.
Our house is not huge. Jeff and I take pride in the fact that we’re living well within our means, able [...]

I am terrible at updating on the weekends. Despite how s.l.o.w. they are right now. This one, for instance, didn’t include much beside rest and relaxation. And Mexican food.
On Saturday Jeff auditioned for The Magic of Beauty & the Beast at Fantasy Playhouse Children’s Theater. He was cast as the Beast and is really excited about [...]

Still pregnant.
I went back to work for a couple of hours yesterday to attend the mayor’s State of the City address, which was very well done. This was my 4th such address to attend and the best so far. He and his team (way to kill it, Blake and Trent) put together a presentation that [...]
