Good for you for recognizing so early on in motherhood that you NEED some things in your personal life to keep you fulfilled. Took me years to learn that particular lesson.

a black fly in your chardonnay
Ironic that everyone I meet thinks I’m independent, savvy, strong, oh, okay, interesting even. I’m tired of being her. I got the wrong nametag at the party. I want to be little Ms. Dependent. To find someone I trust, then wear sweats and be dull. Skip the intersection of interesting and dazzli...
Compromise in our house is dependent on who feels strongest about the issue. They score the reward. Which means I live with some things he HAS to do and he lives with a LOT he would rather do without. Heh. But after almost 15 years of marriage it seems to work for us.
Great post, you are sounding very married :)

I've just had babies, I know. There's this thing called the 4th trimester, too. Clothing stores know I'm not about to bounce back into my clothes, but I'm miserable. The lactation ladies insist I cannot diet or my milk supply will plummet. I need 1000 extra calories per day, they say. 500 f...
When I had my first baby I sooo wanted a girl. I had a boy. And I think I loved him all the more for it. Some 6 years later he is the best thing that ever happened to me. But I have to admit I WAS happy when I delivered my twins, girls. Not sure how I would have survived raising 3 boys under 4!
I'm happy for you you have one of each sex to enjoy and appreciate. They are looking very healthy and growing, do you know when they will be coming home?

letter for lucas
You were the “presenting baby.” That’s what they told us about my “Baby A” during a scheduled ultrasound. I imagined you emerging with a glossy satin ribbon, my little naked present. You were always awake during those routine visits. “The wild child” I called you as you waved and kicked on ...
Whatever you call them I hope they will feel loved. The most we can give our kids is it not?

magoo
Is it just me, or does my son look like Mr. Magoo? I'm thinking he's got a nickname, now. How's my little Magoo? I sing to them, the same song each time, every day. Of course it's a Carly Simon song, and if they don't like it, they better hurry it up and get strong enough to punch me ...
