My Online Stranger Friends

September 25, 2013 – 11:51 pm

Before my first pregnancy, I was a message-board virgin. Once pregnant, a friend directed me to Baby Center. There I found Birth Clubs. I was due in July, and by becoming a member of July’s Birth Club, I could chat with hundreds of other moms also due in July. I found the questions, advice, links […]

A New Ball Game

September 18, 2013 – 11:32 pm

Now that Sophie’s older, I hesitate writing—deeply, sincerely, truthfully (the hard truths, anyway)—about her. I have a few, very specific memories from age 5. Her story is becoming her own now and I feel it’s her place to tell it someday, if she chooses—not mine. That said, our stories often intertwine. As they did tonight. […]

The Perils of Fatherhood

September 15, 2013 – 11:26 pm

Ed note: Andy gave me full permission to write this post. A couple weeks ago we were all on the couch. I was reading picture books out loud, to the kids. Andy found a marble in the couch, while I was reading. And for whatever reason he thought it would be funny to secretly put […]

James & Owen’s “Concert”

September 12, 2013 – 2:56 pm

About 10 minutes ago Owen and James ran downstairs and started shouting something about a concert. “What?” I asked. “We have a concert for you!” they said. “Come upstairs to our concert!” They were so excited. And so was I. How imaginative! They did it all on their own! And I had heard no screaming […]

Changing Love

September 11, 2013 – 9:47 am

This weekend Andy and I had a night out to ourselves—Troy’s Cafe, a movie, 21c Museum Hotel Cocktail Terrace (with many thanks to my parents). The day of I was upstairs, taking my time getting dressed. Sophie was in her bedroom, singing a song while moving her princess dolls around her room in serious play. […]

James & Owen’s 1st Day of Preschool

September 3, 2013 – 11:42 pm

I have a lot I want to write right now but it’s too much. I can’t put my thoughts together. Sometimes, three-year periods bear little change. Others start with you in the NICU with two little people who—combined—weigh less than your cat and end with you watching them walk down your front walk wearing backpacks. […]
