Phew! Okay! So I made it through the few What! The! Hell! Is! Going! On?!!! first weeks of New Motherhood.

At the risk of sounding incredibly obnoxious I’m just going to go ahead and say it: I’m rather enjoying this downtime before Bambino makes his/her appearance. After John was finished up with work yesterday I tagged along while he got his haircut. Then we escaped to a coffee shop, read (I didn’t bother with my book […]
