Should I feel guilty that my daughter and I watch this video, and both stare at the screen, mesmerized, with smiles plastered to our faces? Or, should I feel proud? I think I'll go with the latter. My girl knows some good choreography when she sees it. That's just something you're born with. Oh, and as a side note, I used to watch this ...

"Before you were conceived I wanted you Before you were born I loved you Before you were here an hour I would give my life for you This is the miracle of life." -quote by Maureen Hawkins Going by the old handy-dandy pregnancy calculators, it was exactly one year ago today that my daughter first made her grand entrance into my womb. I remember that day well, as ...

"You know what's sad? I'm in the slow part of Summer Lovin' right now." -the baby sis
from the mouths of babes…
...and baby sisters. As I may have mentioned before, my sister is a summer intern at the White House. What I may not have mentioned is that she has been dating someone, a chap from somewhere overseas, and he will be returning home this week. So, just this afternoon, I got the following text from the baby sis: It read, "What if ...
This Thing Called Love
Believe it or not, when my daughter was born, I was, instantly, the calm, low-key mom that I had dreamed of being. I didn’t fret when the nurses took her for her routine check-ups. I did not ask about her weight, Or temperature, Or level of cuteness. Actually, that is a lie. I did ask about her cuteness, Meaning, When anyone new came into the ...
Over the Rainbow
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high, there's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby. If the Sex and the City ladies are my best adult girlfriends, then Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz gang were my dear childhood playmates. You see, for me, The Wizard of Oz was more than a film. More than a musical, or ...
Apple and Tree, How Close You Be.
So, yesterday morning, my mom and I had our typical check-in phone conversation. It went a little something like this: Me: I wanted your advice. I'm nervous. I woke up 2 nights in a row and found the baby un-swaddled, with her arms out. Her hands and arms felt cold. Mom: OK. Me: No, but seriously, she was sooooooo ...
There’s No Place Like Home
Today was a typical day at the beach. You know, it was hot. We read. We relaxed. And braced for a tornado. What? You mean you're not used to doing that at 4pm on a Sunday? Yeah, neither are we. When the news broke of the Tornado Warning, my Poppop kicked into high gear. I was otherwise occupied, you know, pumping, so, when I answered his call downstairs, I ...
Crazy Things Can Happen, as Told Through Crappy Cell Phone Photography, The Great Edition
As I may have mentioned before, crazy things can happen, when there's a new baby in the picture. Unfortunately, I neglected to mention an essential category of, well, crazies. Perhaps, the craziest category of 'em all: The Great-Grandparents. And yes, these particular Great-Grandparents are, and please bear with me, pretty great. Har Har Har. You see, when the Great-Grandmother, let us call her Mommom, decides to accompany you to the baby store, for ...
You know that your husband was meant to have a daughter…
...when you catch him singing, "I'm a Burpie girl, in a Burpie world, my bib is plastic, it's fantastic. Come on baby, let's go party, ah ah ah, yeah." And that, my friends, is why I'm sure that my daughter will be a daddy's girl. And that, my friends, is why I couldn't be happier.
