Lydia’s been with us for almost three weeks now. Being home with her has been wonderful. In fact, so far it has been a bit easier than I expected. I’m not sure if that’s because I had lower expectations or if Lydia is just an agreeable baby. We came home late Wednesday night after she […]

Hermione’s worst nightmare
Something cuter than Hermione has arrived in our household: our daughter, Lydia, entered the world on June 23rd, 2008 at 8:29 p.m., weighing 6 pounds and eleven ounces and measuring at 19 1/2 inches long. You can read her story here, from when we found out she was coming to her arrival. And, of course, […]
taco delivery
Now that we all know Lydia is here — she’ll be two weeks old on Monday! — I figured I would write up how she got here. Be forewarned: this is the longest post EVER. On June 10th at my OB’s appointment my doctor gave me the option of inducing at 39 weeks because of […]

Tara . . . Tara!
When getting dressed for work this morning, I began to reach for a bra when I realized that only a specific one would work with the shirt I was planning to wear today. As I reached for that one instead, Gerald O’Hara’s voice from Gone With the Wind jumped vividly into my mind: “It’s the […]
the end is nigh
Ahh, June is here! Now we really are getting close. I think The Husband and I are as prepared as two naive parents-to-be can be. Everything’s ready at the house minus a few odds and ends. I think there will always be odds and ends. Now I’m just ready to get this show on the […]
