I know that introducing Claire to Comang and his adjustment to no longer being the “baby” of the house will be difficult, but I am determined to make it work. So when Heather first contacted me about possibly writing a guest post on the addition of babies to households with pets, I jumped at the […]
J is convinced that Claire is the cutest baby in the world. “How can you look at her and not think that she’s the cutest baby ever? I dare you to show me a cuter baby!” My parents and in-laws all agree with him and are always marveling over their grandchild. And once again, I […]
A few days ago, I sent out the following tweet which caused quite a stir: I immediately received dozens of replies, which were soon followed by emails and private messages from those who were worried that I was being held prisoner in my own house. And as much as it warmed my heart to know […]
Today’s guest post comes from one of my favorite food bloggers, Amy. While J and I have been very fortunate in that our mothers have been cooking up a storm for us since the arrival of the baby, we would most likely have gone the freezer route if the grandmothers weren’t so readily available (or willing!). […]
“Do you still want more kids, seeing how hard it’s been so far?” I asked J yesterday. “Of course,” he replied. “It may be hard now, but the rewards will be worth it.” “Well, I don’t want any more kids,” I told him. “I can’t imagine going through this again, especially if we have another […]
Read Part 1 and Part 2… I’ve decided to go a slightly different direction for this final post in Claire’s Birth Story series: a timeline with descriptions. I’m so glad that I wrote down the times and details when it was still fresh in my mind, because I can hardly remember any specifics now! 10:00am — Admitted […]
Here is another great read from Susan. In this post she discusses the decreasing gender wage gap (yay!) and the different factors that may or may not play into it. Enjoy! In the ever-growing body of evidence for the diminishing wage gap between men and women, research has uncovered a segment of women making more […]
Read Part 1… We finally made it through the torrential rain and rush-hour traffic to the hospital. During our hospital tour, we had been instructed to go through the Emergency Room entrance — no matter the time of day — so that is what we had done the night before and it is where we headed […]
Today Donna returns with the second post in her three-part series on baby budgeting: diapering! After briefly delving into the three types of diapering options available to parents today in America, Donna describes myriads of ways to save on disposable diapers. I, for one, will be bookmarking this post for future (and current!) reference. And […]
If you recall, we had gone to the hospital on the evening of September 29, only to be sent back home because I was only 1cm dilated and showed no signs of progress. And while I had been getting regular contractions, they tapered off by about 4am on the morning on September 30, leading me […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
