I find most crib bedding too frilly, fussy or cutesy, and the modern designs that aren’t are usually too bold and busy. That is until I found what I think is the perfect marriage of sweet and elegant design:
MiGi “Pinwheel” Bedding and Accessories by Banana Fish. (Available at Target.)
In fact, I love everything about the [...]

After our trip to visit Gemma in Brooklyn Saturday, we sauntered over to one of those little high-end designer kid stores you find every 2 blocks in Brooklyn and no where else in the world. The kind where a newborn T costs $40 and everyone shopping there has a stroller that costs more than a [...]

Yesterday we got to meet Mike & Tracy’s beautiful baby girl Gemma, who was born in the wee hours of Feb 20th.
It was a group affair as a whole slew of us met for a lovely brunch and then descended on the new little family. I have mentioned before that in my group of friends [...]

And I am HUGE!
At last, the long overdue belly shot:
15.5 weeks.
All the women on the nest second trimester message board go on about how at 22 weeks they are JUST starting to show and have gained like 2 lbs… All I can say is maybe I’m carrying a wildebeast, but you can most definitely see [...]

By that I mean I am torn between two worlds, the one of complete whole foods and hippiness in which I was raised, and the one of modern medicine that helped me get pregnant in the first place. Put more simply, between natural birth and epidural.
As an almost perfect analogy, I am a member [...]

Wednesday I had my second OB appointment, which was really weird because it was the first time in god knows how long that I’ve been to a Dr.’s office and not had to take my clothes off!
All that happened was that she weighed me and then listened to the heartbeat. I thought she was at [...]

We’ll be thawing out from the winter cold in Miami Beach..I can’t wait!
As it was the city that we had our wedding in, South Beach holds many wonderful memories for us..
(I’m pretty sure I couldn’t fit one thigh into that dress now post pregnancy!)
I guess you could call this our “babymoon” even though I don’t [...]

In the shower this morning I started thinking about how very few nursery rhymes I actually know the words to. That got me humming one of the only ones I actually DO know the words to: Rockabye Baby.
Rockabye Baby in the Treetop
When the Wind Blows the Cradle will Rock
When the Bough Breaks the Cradle Will [...]

Today I am 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant. That is (almost) exactly one third of the 40 weeks, and so I’m calling it the beginning of the second trimester, even though opinions of this vary wildly from OB to OB and from person to person. I’ve heard everything from 13 -14 weeks. But 1/3 [...]

Someone posted on the second trimester message board on the nest today asking if this Chinese Gender Prediction Chart gave the correct sex of their babies (most of the women there have already had their “big” ultrasound where they find out the sex) and the overwhelming response was that is was correct!
Who would have thought [...]
