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 ...
two thumbs up!
My daughter, who, up until this point, has been sucking on her two fingers, just found her thumb. Now, while this may not seem like big news for some people, it is pretty darn exciting for this former thumb connoisseur. I spent 3 (read: 8 ) wonderful years of my life with my thumb glued to my mouth. And hey, it didn't ...
In case you didn’t believe me…
This is what it looks like when your 16-week-old daughter pees all over you, just in case you needed a visual. And, for the full effect, I must tell you that when my husband snapped this shot with his mobile phone and emailed the photo to me, he titled it, "Pishy Pants". If that doesn't scream "dignified, beautiful new mother" then I ...
twin-tastic
Do you remember how I've mentioned my twin sister, from another mister? Well, twin and I are so, well, twinlike. As you may recall, I mentioned that my daughter tends to laugh at certain words, like "peaches". Well, I also mentioned my own propensity to laugh at certain words, like "zebra". Well, just today, on our way to brunch (can you say, "holy coconut crusted ...
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 ...
rockin’ and a-rollin’, yeah!
Splish Splash, I was takin' a bath Long about a Saturday night It's amazing to think, that out of all of the times I have listened to this song, I never actually imagined that a Saturday night, spent with my treasured girlfriends, huddled around the bathtub as we gave my daughter her nighttime bath, could be the best party I've had in a long ...
it wasn’t me!
Do you know what is awesome? Having your dear friends from out of town come to visit. Do you know what is even more awesome? Sitting in the backseat of a parked car with your TWIN, while the men are in the grocery store, picking up the goodies for a late afternoon BBQ... with a SCREAMING 16 week old ...
strange bedfellows
So, my friends, the day has finally come; my daughter is about to spend her very first night in her very first room Her own room. ...so, would you still be as impressed if I happened to mention that my husband and I are also in the room, camped out on an air mattress on her floor? Shut up.
hold onto your tiaras, folks
