Everyone tells you that having two kids is going to be difficult, that two kids is five times (or seven or twelve or fill in the number you’ve heard) as hard as one. But everyone frames in terms of chasing two around, monitoring two, keeping two from killing each other. What people don’t tell you [...]

The Nana left today. It wasn’t pretty: Doodles had an absolute meltdown as we left the airport, big tears streaming down his face, as he wailed in a pitiful cry, “Naaaaaanaaaa! Naaaaaanaaaa!” Which is different from the cry that Sweetie Pie was making yesterday, when she was lying in her vibrating chair, her little face [...]

Two years ago I was traumatized by the bris of my son. This past Sunday, we had a Simchat Bat for Sweetie, a ceremony in which we gave her her Hebrew name. What a difference! It was the same welcoming into the Jewish community. It was the same opportunity to have our family and friends [...]

I’ve lost thirty pounds so far, which is pretty good considering I gained thirty-five in the pregnancy (although my prepregnancy weight wasn’t my ideal starting point, however it was the same prepregnancy weight I had before Doodles). My incision looks good. And my uterus is back down [...]
