First Anniversary

It's crazy to think that my sweetheart and I walked down the aisle one year ago today.  We've accomplished a lot in that year.  :)

We traveled to Spain and Portugal, we went to California and drove up the coast, we went skiing a few times in Colorado, and then we went and got ourselves a little lady.  She's definitely changing things.  We now sleep with a bassinet in between us... but hopefully that won't last too long.  I'm looking forward to 4 hour feedings in the night and actually getting our bed to ourselves.

It's a little crazy to have a month-old little lady and also have our anniversary.  Today is just a regular day.  I woke up.  Lilah slept on me after a feeding for an hour or two.  I slung her to me, we watched the latest episode of Downton Abbey and an episode of "Masters of Sex."  Mom and grandma came over and we hung out (4 generations of ladies is pretty awesome).

They left and I'm waiting for Yan to get home so we can try to put her to bed.  Hopefully tonight will be more chill and not like last night (where we got the screaming treatment from about 6:30 until about 11:30).  That would be a lovely anniversary present.  :)  But those screaming episodes are where I realize that we have an incredible relationship regardless.  We both lose it, but not simultaneously... and that's because we support each other through them.  We take turns.  We sacrifice ourselves for the sanity of the other.  That's pretty great as far as I'm concerned.

Tomorrow we're heading off to a dinner on the town which is kind of amazing.  We'll leave her for a few hours with Yan's parents which will be when we really celebrate.  Also, I'm hoping to get away for a full night sometime before I go back to work full-time.  That would be truly romantic.  A night of sleep is about all of the romance I can muster.  We'll get back to it eventually though... this man of mine is still all I can hope for.

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
