Over Labor Day weekend my SIL and brother announced they are pregnant with baby #2! My nephew was born 4 months after Cora was so it will be exciting to be graced with a new baby to sniff and snuggle in this family. I knew they were having a bunch of sex trying for another baby [...]

Hold your own baby
A friend of mine recently had herself a wonderful, beautiful, baby girl. This friend of mine and I go round and round sometimes. She is the type that I still don't know why I'm friends with her except to say it has been 12+ years and she is a stage 5 friend clinger. She recently [...]
My kid is a binky baby and I don’t care

What you don’t see in pictures
We sat on the back deck last night, in the dark, soaking in the last night of summer. I sipped a glass of wine, my husband smoking a cigar, the baby monitor on the table between us. I had that pressure building in my chest all day. It started with those memory photos that Facebook [...]
