[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkFr-rjjzlw] We got the chance to watch this beautiful little documentary last night, you know, while I was rocking the baby to sleep in my arms, and, let me tell you, it is just lovely. Love-ly, love-filled, love-able, love-alicious. It gave us a wonderful soundtrack to which we danced the baby around the bedroom. Plus, it answers the question of where babies ...
I am having an anxiety attack, currently
...because our daughter is spending her first night alone in her crib. I am crying and wish I could crawl in there with her for one more kiss goodnight. So tonight, instead of having the most perfect, pink little hands to hold in my sleep, I have a cold, (also pink) baby monitor to cuddle up to. 'Tis going to be a long ...
One Year Ago, Part 2
The stick had been peed upon (seriously, why isn't there a nicer way to say it?) and the verdict was in. Except, it wasn't, exactly. My husband and I studied the E.P.T. (seriously, why is it called "Error Proof". I would call this "Easily Error-able") mulling over the one dark line next to the other faint line. Now, from all of my reading, a line ...
I’m telling!
In response to the photo that I posted of my recently polished nails, I got the following LSM (Little Sister Message): "LOVE. I want to copy. Though I won't because, if history repeats itself as they say it does, you'll throw the polish at my head. You were such a nice sisty." Yes, this is how we talk ...
One Year Ago, Part 1
One year ago, I peed on one little stick, and two little lines appeared. I was pregnant. Easy peasy. Except, not. One year ago, my husband and I packed for the shore. I tucked a box of E.P.T.s in with my u.n.d.i.e.s, because I hadn't been feeling quite right. I had been having dizzy spells, and extreme fatigue, and there were two very specific parts ...
(wo)manicure
This, my friends, is the first time that my nails have seen polish SINCE I GAVE BIRTH. (oh, and by the way, even though I had a C-Section, is it still considered "giving birth"? Twin and I were trying to figure this one out, this weekend, and neither of us knew the answer.) Pretty color, right? I think ...
the sweetest thing, hands down
When you're a new parent, you're surrounded by all things adorable, delicate, and itty bity. And you kind of get used to the cute. But sometimes, it'll hit you, and hit you hard. Like this morning, I spent a good, long while just staring at a pair of delicious baby hands. One hand was wrapped around the daddy's finger. One hand was wrapped ...
hold onto your tiaras, folks

This Weekend!
This weekend is sure to be exciting. 1) The baby is turning 16 weeks. What? That's not a milestone b-day for you? Well, don't you remember how it is in our family? I'm thinking "My Super Sweet 16 (weeks) Princess Style Pinata Par-Tay" That just rolls right off the tongue, no? 2) TWIN IS A-COMIN'!!!!!!!!! Yes, my sister from another mister and her better ...
find a feather, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck
This morning, a very special someone, gave me a very special feather. She had found it, and thought of me, and placed it in my hand, as I started my day. So, if you're reading this, thank you, M, for the feather, and, most especially, for the thought behind the gift. It means more to me than you know. Love, Your Fine Feathered Friend.
