A Special Shout Out...

I've been meaning to do a special shout out to three ladies in my life that have made the past 11 weeks bearable.  It goes without saying that my parents and Yan's parents have been fantastic... but these three ladies went above and beyond in the friend department. I won't use names.  BB, AB, and OI you three have really been so so wonderful to me.  BB, you get what I'm going through because you're going through it at the same time... except with two little people instead of my one.  AND you never whine.  And that is fabulous and empowering.  AB, you check in on me on the regular and come by on the weekends and bake.  Dear lord do you bake woman!  And finally OI, you took this opportunity to come by and check in on us multiple times due to the fact that you know how much it helped you... and that is wonderful and amazing and I appreciate your reaching out.

There are many other people such as MG who came by one day and talked to me. Or JC who came by with food and baked goods and talked to me.  But overall... I just love that I have such a community of people who continuously follow through and continue to do good good things because they are good good people.  So the next time someone has a baby and I'm not up to my gills in my own deal... I'll pay it forward.  Thank you to all of you lovely wonderful people.  I'm a wealthy lady.

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
