Someone remarked today, after spending a couple minutes with me, that I seemed so energized for a new mom. I wasn’t sure what to say. Thanks! I think? Why thank you, I took my vitamins this morning! Energized? Yeah, I charged my batteries last night. I have to admit, I’m not sure I agreed with […]
Dear Babygirl, You have arrived. (!!!!!!!!!!!!) And it’s about time, girlfriend. Sunday, May 6th I stepped out of the shower around lunchtime and realized that your swimming pool had sprung a leak. You threw that water over the edge for several straight hours, until Daddy and I finally checked into the hospital late that afternoon. […]

My birthday is in April. Your Daddy’s birthday is in April. Your birthday…will not be in April. You are gonna be […]

Blog Post Idea: W/ rental props, it is […]
Dear Babygirl, I walk up the stairs, your new lamp in hand. Into the nursery, I set it on the side table. It looks cute. Nice purchase, I tell myself. It’s late afternoon, around 5 o’clock. A bad time of day for me and my energy levels. The rocker looks comfy. Real comfy. I decide […]
Dear Babygirl, I was talking to one of your grandmas yesterday and, without really thinking, mentioned how you have blonde hair and blue eyes. I don’t know this, of course, but it just kind of makes sense. Your Daddy and I are both blonde and blue, why wouldn’t you be? Your grandma politely reminded me […]
