On Labor Day two years ago, I shared Grace’s birth story (still hate that expression, still love becoming a mother… obvi). Today marks the first Labor Day since baby Nick was born and he’s exactly 9 months old today, so this seems as good a time as ever to reflect on the day we welcomed him to the world and to our family.

Today: Revisiting the pre-baby to-do list.
A little while back, I shared my pre-baby to-do list. Since then, I accomplished most items and added about seventy more. We’re currently in “Is he coming today?” mode, to the point that I can convince myself just about anything– from an eyelid twitch to…

Today: My first Labor Day.
We’re heading into Labor Day Weekend, so why not talk about having a baby? (I couldn’t resist.) I know the holiday is technically a tribute to the American workforce (and feels mostly like a symbolic end to summer), but it’s nearly impossible for me to hear…

Today: 100 days of Grace.
It’s been exactly 100 days since Grace was born. There are moments when it feels like she has just arrived, and others when I can’t believe she hasn’t been with us all along. Maybe it’s the sleep deprivation, but there are times when I cannot imagine life…

Today: When enough is… too much.
I left home precisely three times between Friday and Sunday evening. I went for a walk with Clark (before you report me to the ASPCA or Sarah McLachlan, rest assured that Nick picked up my slack) I made a trip to the pharmacy for cough…
