    Edited to add: Murray updated the title of this post while I was away from the computer. So, I’m going to leave it as is. Apparently he wanted it this way. I’m not sure what he was trying to say, but there you go. The problem with sitting around attached to a newborn all day…

    EDITED TO ADD: OK, so things have gotten MUCH better. I thought I should mention. The pain is almost entirely gone and we’re breastfeeding 75% of the time. I just thought I’d share the update. This is not a boast, however. I still went through Stupidville to get here. But now that I’m here, it’s…

    I’m using my blog for this because I feel weird about sending out a mass-email asking my New York friends if they are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant. Seems entirely to presumptuous and rude. I know that when I was desperately trying to get pregnant, had someone written me out of the blue asking…

    Forgive me for any grammar/spelling errors in advance. I’m writing this quickly as I am paying a woman decent money to come over, look at my boobs and help me figure out how to make them feel better. How I will get through this awkward meeting without booze? No clue. But getting drunk and working…

    Introducing Emory to a new sibling has been both amazing and a little difficult. (Granted, some of that might be my hormones talking.) I’ll write more about that transition soon. But for now I want to share this shot. The moment Em walked into the visiting room he said, “Where’s my baby brother?” And he…

    We have a baby, folks. Elliot Robert (Robert is my father, older brother’s name) was born at 8:16 PM on February 21st. He’s 8 pounds, 12 ounces–an entire pound heavier than his big brother. He’s amazing. He’s doing well. I’m so happy for my family. I will have more details soon! The labor was much…

    We ordered a couch 7 weeks ago. At the time we were told it would take 6 to 8 weeks to build and upholster. I was hesitant to buy this particular couch because it would be delivered after the baby was born. You see, one of the main reasons we were buying a new couch…

    I had my 41-week appointment on Tuesday. I’m still pregnant. I’m 2.5 centimeters dilated. Nothing much else has changed. My doctor went ahead and stripped the membrane again. I requested it, even though I am sick with a terrible cold. And while the idea of going into labor and having to push with snot flying…

    I had my 40-week appointment on Monday. My stubborn cervix hasn’t budged. “You’re a tight 2 centimeters.” “That’s a polite way of saying I’m still 1.5 centimeters, isn’t it?” “Yes.” “Great. So, what can I do?: So she “stripped the membrane” which is really just code for OMFG OUCH! She did this twice because the…
