A few weeks ago I said something to my mom I immediately wished I could take back. Just making conversation, without really thinking, I mentioned that Pooky’s legs seem very strong. “Maybe she’ll skip crawling and go straight to walking,” I mused. There was a pause, during which I could almost hear my mom’s worry [...]

Pooky is sick. She’s been sick before, but not like this. The first time, a few weeks ago, she had a little fever. We panicked a bit, but in the end, despite all the time on the phone with the advice nurse, it wasn’t too traumatic for us or for her.
This time, she’s leaking [...]

Here’s an interesting post from BloggingBaby asking what the best gap in ages between siblings is. We won’t be having another baby (on purpose) any time soon, but we’re already strategizing. I’m sure there’s a ton of research on the topic, but I doubt any of it will affect our decision much. May and I [...]

Here’s an interesting post from The World According to Megan, a pediatrician’s blog. In it, Megan writes about how frustrating it is for parents when their kids’ symptoms seem to magically disappear when they get to the doctor’s office:

The good news is, all the shows can be streamed for free on their website. They’ve been around since 1995, so if you do a search [...]

Well, there’s no denying that we’re grown-ups anymore. Before Pooky was born, even though I was a married, home-and-car-owning, rapidly-approaching-30, working stiff, I could still kinda, sorta convince myself that I hadn’t yet reached adulthood; that I still had more of my pre-adult life to live. Now, there’s no getting around it. This is it. [...]
