First Thoughts

I've been writing in a journal, but it just really isn't the same as typing.  There's something magical about being able to record almost as fast as I think... it becomes more natural and organic.  Which is kinda like being pregnant this time.  It's incredible.  I'm scared to tell people sometimes how much I'm loving it.  On one hand I don't want to be resented by others who have a really hard time hurling for the first few months or walking around zombie-like... but on the other hand, after what I went through the first time... I friggin' deserve this.  I wake up every morning with baby flutters or baby hiccups within me and feel this little girl coming to life, and there's something so magical about it.  Even with the anatomy and physiology knowledge, and my in-depth understanding of mitosis and cell division and synaptic formation... there's something just pure magic about knowing that this little thing within is actually real.  I'll be a mama to this little lady in a few short months and I'm reveling in it.  Every time one of the other pregnant ladies around me gives birth lately it just kind of amazes me in a pure way... like a 5 year old.  That chick was just like me, and now she's a mom.  Totally basic.  But totally magic.

What's In a Name...

So in real life, things are still about the same.  Every day is a whirl of diapers, rocking, learning to do things with one hand, and every time I sit down or have a moment I can't seem to get myself to do anything actually productive.  It's just kind of a mess up in my head.  I also can't believe that it's been almost a month of this!  Anywho... before I forget, I wanted to write down our reasons for little lady Pritzker's name.  Jewish folks name their children after those who have departed this earth.  Here are the wonderful people who our little girl will never meet.  We'll do our best to teach her about them and more importantly instill their lessons and values. Lilah There are two "L"'s in this little girl's name and they stand for the parents of my father, Lev and Lyubov.  Lyubov was one incredible woman who really truly left me a legacy of cooking and warmth.  She was a woman who was never ever thin physically, but she was as ge

Just When You Thought You Could Breathe Easy...

This is pretty much an accurate description of last night from 2:45am until about 4:45am and then a good 3 hour chunk of today.  Everyone I told over the weekend "maybe we've turned the corner!" I take it back completely.  This picture will for sure be used as guilt material throughout the teenage years.  Sigh.

10 days In- Reflections, Realizations, Confessions.

Holy cow.  Parenthood.  It's here and it didn't just tiptoe in like a little kitten, it arrived with a roar and then settled into our living room and I think it might stay awhile.  I think we have a relatively easy child, but there are definitely some things that need to be written down immediately (or after 10 days, since time is something that doesn't really exist anymore). They say you should never have a child to fix a marriage.  Holy crap are they right.  If I didn't like my husband, this would be a very very different and unsuccessful adventure.  This is taxing.  Straight up hard work.  I've never been one for sleep deprivation, and this is pushing it to the max.  You don't always have time/ forget to eat (if I forget to eat this is a big deal people )  and you don't sleep much and you have people in and out... if you don't like your spouse, just forget about having children together.  Do yourselves both a favor.  I am blessed to have the man
