Since having Sun, we have ventured out for a quick meal here and there, but no cuisine to note. Most of what we’ve eaten have been casseroles made by relatives. Don’t get me wrong–I love a good casserole! But I’ve been hungering for something more. And today I saw my opportunity and went for it. [...]
Tomorrow marks the three week mark–Sun will be three weeks old and still two weeks from her due date. Today was the day scheduled for her delivery. So happy shouldabeen birthday, Sun! Her real birthday seems like yesterday and a lifetime ago combined. I think a lot of that has to do with my lack [...]
Today we ventured to my office. I was surprised to realize I missed it. I am nowhere ready to return, but it felt nice to go for a visit. Sun needed a diaper change while we were there, so I pulled out the extension of my desk for CS to change her. It seems every [...]
Anticipating how having a baby would change my world was really hard to do. In truth, I could only be so prepared for the change that was about to occur in my life. Now that I have been a mother for all of two weeks, I already “get it.” The earth did shake that Saturday [...]
Having a small baby has its benefits. My wedding and engagement rings fit again and I even was able to fit into a pair of non-maternity pants today. These pants are usually a tad too big for me and today they were tight, but I got them to zip up and I actually wore them [...]

Sun and I left the hospital yesterday and are happy to be home. The hospital staff was very helpful, but every five minutes someone was knocking on the door–between my nurse, the nursery nurse, the nurses’ aides, the lactation specialists, housekeeping–it was grand central station. At least my home is quiet. And I get to [...]
As it turns out, thirty minutes after my last post, my water broke! No contractions leading up to it; nothing. So I woke CS up and we grabbed what we could think of and went to the hospital. They hooked me up to the monitor and determined that I was having mild contractions and that [...]
It started with my wedding ring. It stopped fitting about six weeks ago. At that time, I started to wear a ring usually worn on the middle finger of my right hand on the ring finger of my left hand. Then it was my shoes. My shoe size is now an entire size larger than [...]
I should not admit this. But I will. I can’t find the remote control for the TV. And I hate to admit further that I was the last to touch it. It isn’t in or under the sofa; it isn’t on any of the tables; it isn’t in the bathrooms, bedrooms or kitchen or even [...]
